Hotel de Reims

The room was stinking, smells like sewers. The actual room looks nothing like the picture. The bathroom is the size of an airplane lavatory, the carpet is old and dirty, and the furniture is extremely old. The staff were nice though.

The location was very good if you are commuting from Gate de Lyon. Easy 6 minutes to walk to the station which was very helpful since the metro went on strike the morning we left for Geneva. It was not hard to get to the major attractions by the metro.

The hotel was just 3 minute walk from Gare De Lyon station which connects to all the major routes. The hotel reception is open 24 hours for check in which is a huge advantage and you can leave your bags at reception after check out too. They provide fresh towels everyday but no water bottles. There is a carrefour nearby but it closes at 9:30 PM. The rooms are extremely small and have no A/C. There is just a window and a standing fan.

Room are clean and nice, location is great for people traveling (very close to Paris gare de Lyon). I did not get a chance to try the breakfast but the smell was quite appealing. The only issue might be the noise in the room. You don't hear what is going on in the other rooms but everything that is happening in the hallway. Overall it's a good place to stay for one or 2 nights during a business trip.

3-day first visit to Paris took the train from Barcelona to gare de Lyon station. Hotel Reims is a short walk from the train station. Plenty of restaurants near by. 20-min walk to the river for our hop on/off cruise. Uber picked us up at the hotel and delivered us to Eiffel Tower for our climb to the summit. 20-minute walk to the opera house area lots of shops and restaurants. Had good breakfast at the hotel one morning. Staff was kind and helpful, I highly recommend this hotel!
