Hôtel Folie - Orso Hotels

I didn’t have the breakfast but I ordered dinner from room service one night and it was excellent. Everything you need is right out the door. The Paris Metro is easy. One reviewer noted the lack of space in the hall when the cleaning staff is working. It’s true but the will happily accommodate you. I will definitely return here.

Very small rooms, would be good for a quick one night stay but wouldn’t want to be there any longer. Absolutely no amenities, no mini fridge. Rooms were fairly clean… there was a finger nail and some hair in our bed sheets which made me wonder how thorough they are when cleaning the sheets?? Service was friendly, but probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Location is on a quiet street if you prefer a peaceful stay and sleep in the nighttime. It is close to Metro station and surprisingly there are many good cafe restaurants at major street corners, markets that open late night. One major setback for this hotel is no air-conditioning in the small room which is difficult during the hot months in Paris. I suggested to the hotel to install permanent fans in ceiling rather than the portable fan on desk which does not provide adequate ventilation. The location is great if you want to know what it is like living in Paris, and not be in a bustling tourist area!

Possibly the worst hotel I have stayed in. Photos are highly misleading. Do not stay here.

The hotel was opposite a hostel that was full of men, these men where ‘cat calling’ and shouting stuff at us across the road when we were sat on our balcony or even just had the doors open. There were lots of people begging in the area, if you were to walk to or from the hotel in the evening or at night they all stopped you for your attention. The room had carpet and was not hoovered at all, the toilet had stains, the bath/ shower had limescale and grime in between the tiles, the walls were dirty and stained, the balcony has astro turf which had not been brushed. We requested no housekeeping every day yet after returning from 12 hours out in the day, the bed had been made and towels refreshed. Still no hoovering completed or cleaning of the bathroom. We didn’t feel comfortable with people entering our room while we weren’t there, yet they still did after requesting not too. There was also no circulation in the room, just the doors onto the balcony which were unsafe to have open at night and one small fan which didn’t move, the room was too hot and there was no way to regulate. The breakfast is €13pp per day. It was a small selection of a bread and a croissant, 3 spreads, butter and yoghurt in the fridge, a ham, a cheese, 3 cereals, water and orange juice. No pancakes or wider selection as pictured on the website. We visited the patisserie around the corner which offered much more and came to less than €13pp. Sadly, would not recommend this hotel.
