Sully Hôtel

Great location but bare bones, depressing room with no amenities

The location and Cleanliness

The property was quite grimy and in poor repair. The bathroom sink and shower drained very slowly and at one point the sink was plugged. I had to dig out a plunger from the area beside the reception to get the water flowing out of the sink. In the drain I discovered someone had lost a lid for lotion or bottle which slowed down the flow but all the nasty stuff that had collected around the lid was what I managed to clear away. The wifi was very slow on the first night and it stopped working on the next morning and did not work for the next two nights and days. The shower head is not properly fixed to the hose so the water sprayed out of the side of the hose and the shower overflowed onto the floor (or leaked). We had to use a towel to keep the water from flushing into the apartment from the washroom. My wife is covered in bites from little critters (I think she has an allergy to them and my daughter and I don’t taste as good as she does because we escaped relatively unscathed).

A very old building but at least updated to have its own bathroom instead of the WC down the hall. Location is great for visiting not so great for sleeping if you have the first floor window right on the street. The most accomodating and helpful concierge ever as he took me as a last minute reservation after missing a train and was willing to let me knock on the door very early to leave (since they still use the old locks with keys on a big keychain that has to be returned). His willingnes make up for it being a bit rough and outdated
