Tamaris Paris

I had read that people had been refused accommodation because the hotel was full. so i emailed them to tell them of our time of arrival (about 20:00). i received an email back to say that the 2 rooms would be kept for us. we arrived at 20:30 to be told that the hotel had only one room, and, as it turned out was not of the standard booked. my partner and i were put up in the no star hotel next door. we were put in the tamaris the next day on the fourth floor. the lift to the fourth floor did not work. so we had to go the fifth floor and walk down. the lift was so small that it couldn't take 2 people and one suitcase. we paid the full price for the no star hotel. i do not recommend this hotel. go elsewhere.

When we arrived back at the hotel in the late evening of the second night we found our room had been changed without our knowledge. the man at the desk couldn't offer an explanation as to why, nor could he find the key for the new room. he eventually found the key in the new room which had been left unlocked with all our belongings in.

Price gone up more than 50% in 4 years time, there is no value for money there.

Room looked untidy, dust was everywhere which gave an impression that noone had been there for ages, 1 set of towel only while there were 2 of us staying there, towels were not change every day, room not tidied everyday, lack of hot water in the morning

The walls are paper thin, and unfortunately on the second night teo french gentlemen decided to have a conversation for the whole night, which we heard with perfect clarity. (earplugs a must for a good nights sleep!!)

No

Rooms are not sound isolated,e.g. you can here the neighbours coughing.

The first thing we noticed upon entering our small twin room, was the overpowering smell of bleach-like cleanser coming from the bathroom. (my friend's single room didn't smell like this, however.) the hot water system was very temperamental, sporadically switching from boiling hot to ice cold, and there was no ventilation meaning the bathroom walls and floor (even the bedroom) became very wet.

The shower was pretty poor, sometimes kept on going hot/cold. and the walls are pretty thin so you can hear people coming and going all the time.
