Hotel HOR Les Lumières (Paris, France)

Guests loved being within ten minutes' walk of several metro stations including Parmentier and République, making it hassle-free to travel to sightseeing and attractions all over Paris. The choice of bars, clubs and nightlife plus dining options to suit all tastes in the vicinity was another bonus. Many reviewers said the location was fairly tranquil yet close to the pleasant Le Marais neighbourhood. Drivers said the paid public parking nearby was convenient and non-motorists appreciated the option of bicycle hire for exploring central Paris on two wheels.

The rooms were reportedly clean, modern and well-appointed. There was praise from reviewers for the comfy beds, contemporary decor and effective air-conditioning.

Reviewers were keen on the welcoming, professional and friendly members of staff who reportedly often went the extra mile to ensure guests had a pleasant stay. Travellers liked the way many personnel spoke English and also had praise for the efforts of the housekeeping team.

Several critics felt certain rooms were on the small side, particularly when at full occupancy. There were some claims that the shower design made it difficult to prevent water from escaping on to the floor, which proved to be a nuisance as the bathrooms were reportedly small.

Although many guests felt this hotel represented a decent value for money mid-range option for the neighbourhood, others who paid steeper rates to stay during peak periods sometimes voiced doubts about whether it was such good value.

When the hotel was at its busiest, the breakfast room was prone to becoming hectic or overcrowded during the peak of the morning rush. Food items reportedly ran out sometimes for latecomers.
