B&B HOTEL Paris Est Bobigny Université

.

Clean room

The hotel is very affordable for Paris, but keep in mind if you are walking to transit the area is rough. This area is definitely outside any tourist zone. Use a taxi to get to the hotel from the airport. It was 10 pm and I didn't want to deal with transit in a foreign city at night. Transit worked well for us the next day. The receptionist did not speak English and came off as rude at first but was nice in the end especially when we had a Netflix show in common "Emily in Paris" lol. There is security in the hotel, he spoke a bit of English but only him. Make sure your credit card doesn't hold back your payments (pending) if you booked the day before, the hotel will make you pay again even with an invoice from Expedia saying paid. I had to pay for the hotel room in order to be able to stay there. The next day my credit card showed the payment went through. I went to get my refund, it was a different receptionist. Told me to get it from Expedia, he could not give me a refund. DO NOT except that, it is not how it works, you will not get a refund from Expedia you must get it from the hotel. I did get my refund a few days later. Do not get the breakfast option there is a McDonalds for coffee around the corner and a grocery store just down the road. Their breakfast is not worth it at all. The room is small, clean enough, no English channels except News. It is quiet and priced right and there is an elevator.

I will not recommend to stay here specifically groundfloor rooms. It has smell and dirty towel racks just outside your room. Staff haven't even changed room. Area around thia hotel is dirty, seems unsafe and different crowd.

AC was not cooling the room, complaint to staff they just say "oh! we know". it was hotter in our room than outside with the AC running on max for 3 hours. We had to open the window to cool down, but then had to deal with loud neighborhood past midnight with car speakers occasionally blasting and people shouting on the streets PLUS wild insects like mosquitoes and flies because they don't have window screens. Sink was leaking water from the bottom, the whole building shares limited number of hair dryers had to ask 3 different times (right after check-in, after drink run and before bed) only to be told "we don't have one right now, maybe come try again tomorrow morning?" Are you kidding me!? it was 30 degrees outside, people are traveling and out all day and you're telling me we can't wash our hair because you don't have a hair dryer !? Their microwave next to the front desk looked like it hasn't been cleaned for over a month, thick layer of grease and gunk all over the inside and outside of the microwave. Walking around the neighbor we literally saw multiple human size poop next to plants on the sideway. There was no hair dryer, no space to open a checked luggage other than the bed, no fridge, no water boiler, shower doesn't have shower curtain so it floods the whole washroom floor whenever we showered splashing clean clothes nearby too. Says it's a 2 star hotel, but I felt like even the 1 star motels I've stayed at was better than this place.
