Hotel le Corbusier

I am only covering an experience in the cafe and did not stay. But be wary - do not expect a warm welcome. I tried to pay for my coffee and croissant by card. I missed a sign at the bar that said min spend of €20. I offered to pay more than the bill. The owner said that it was the law to have a minimum spend. I’m not French, but I doubt it. The point is that it will be easy to get in a dispute in this place. In the end, I paid nothing and there was a lot of muttering and gesticulating. Not a satisfying experience for either party. But very disappointing/ unnecessary for me to feel the anger of the person berating me. NB visiting the building for those interested in Le Corbusier is recommended.

I loved it for the view over the city and because I love this kind of architecture and interior design. The room was, however, tiny (which I didn't mind but others might), the walls very hear-through and, what I did mind most: the swimming pool on the roof not accessible for hotel guests, even though it advertises with pictures of it. Breakfast was fine and the view great and just being there very inspiring. Still expensive for what it is.

Phenomenal building and a privilege to stay over night. You can access the roof terrace and service floors. Room (cabin) small - but what I expected and had everything you need. Great staff. Only complaint was the breakfast was not worth the money, but I will definitely be back. If you like architecture - it's a must!

We spent one night in this historical hotel. Our room 442 was like going back in time. From the carpet to the sofa and the Corbusier chair, everything was in the right place to experience le concept Modulor of Le Corbusier. The view from the roof, cafe and the room is great looking at the island. The location, ideal for an event at Velodrome.

The hotel public rooms and bedrooms retain all original features, situated on the third and fourth floors of this building. The decor is kept fresh. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. The restaurant evening meal was excellent. The view from the ninth floor rooftop is amazing. Bus stop across the road for access to city centre. Metro ten minute walk away, one change to the old port. Supermarket nearby, lots of cafes bars nearby. We were a group of four adults and two children and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It was very interesting to stay in this architectural landmark that is hailed both as creative genius and as a detrimental concept in terms of impact on the urban landscape. The room was small but the built-ins and views once planned to make small apartments livable work well for hotel guests. The DOWNSIDE of this hotel, other than its distance from the center, is the management, whose attitude conjures up the stereotype of French snobbery and derision. The WiFi in the room was very unreliable and precluded use of our devices most of the time. The hotel owner actually responded to my complaint by saying that we should be there for Le Corbusier, not the WiFi! Unbelievably bad attitude for a hotel proprietor. (Also heard her speak meanly to her employee.) Also, no kettle or coffee maker provided, as we have enjoyed in almost every other hotel we have stayed in France. No even tissues and glasses. Nothing but soap and towels. So - be prepared for lack of service if you stay here and you’d better love Le Corbusier!
