La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Trip

This hotel has the potential to be absolutely brilliant I don’t quite understand how it has been awarded 4 stars. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room but no mugs so I took some paper cups from reception. The towels were very standard not very big or very thick and they never smelled freshly washed. The room itself was clean and tidy however the bathroom needed some work e.g. the shower screen did not close so wasn’t water tight and the skirting boards had some serious water damage. Everywhere needed dusting skirting boards etc had a thick layer of dust that you could visibly see (no one is clearly doing spot checks) and the sliding doors to the bathroom/toilet were covered in water marks that clearly hadn’t been wiped down in quite sometime. It was very budget hotel standards for 4 stars. The air conditioning/heating unit made an awful noise that seemed to get worse and sounded like a phone vibrating every few minutes or a ship fog horn. Please do not get me wrong it was fine for a budget hotel and the bed was very comfortable but this was not budget hotel and I would not recommend to a friend or stay again. Someone mentioned to us that the hotel had almost finished their renovation save for the stairs I find this hard to believe giving the state of the bathroom!

Close to metro, few minutes to Arc de Triomphe, surrounded by local market and shops. You can experience the area like the locals. Rooms are small but the toilet is good and clean. Will deffinetly book again next time.

Very nice hotel around restaurants and public transportation. It’s easy to get on the train and bus to explore the city. The staff was warm and friendly.

The A/C doesn't work properly, we visited during summer and it wasn't a pleasant stay because of the air conditioning.

Property was in a great location next to many walkable dinning options and Metro stops.
