Hotel Riviera Elysees

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in Paris I do not recommend this hotel to anyone considering staying here. I had previously stayed at another hotel in Paris before moving to this one due to an urgent need to extend my stay. Since I had limited time to find a place, I chose this hotel because it was close to my previous accommodation. However, comparing the two, this hotel is by far the most fraudulent I have ever encountered. Security is zero, the elevator is old, the rooms are outdated, and your belongings are at risk of being stolen On the first day of my stay, the hotel informed me that I had to leave my key at the lobby, claiming there was staff watching it at all times. If I chose not to leave it and took the key outside, they would charge me a €50 fee per day. Then, when I entered the room, I saw a notice stating that if any items were lost or stolen from the room, the hotel would not be responsible under any circumstances. How does this make sense? It felt as if the hotel itself was planning the theft. Now, about the deposit—I have been waiting 11 days, and I still haven’t received my refund. When I contacted them via email, they claimed that I had broken the toilet in the bathroom and would deduct €40 from my deposit. However, I took photos of the bathroom upon check-in and even sent them to my friend. I also informed the hotel reception about the issue and asked them to fix it, but they never did. Now they are falsely accusing me and trying to charge me for something I didn’t break. Is this a hotel or a scam operation? They are clearly trying to make excuses to take money from guests. Stay away from this place!!!!!

I honestly regret booking at this hotel. To begin with they make you pay a 100 euro deposit which I struggled to get back. First receptionist told me I would get it back right after my check out. once I checked out, they said I should wait one more day, then 2 to 3 days, a couple of days later (I wasn’t in France anymore) they told me I should wait 14 days, then 30 days. It took more than a month to solve that. This was something new for me , I had never had to pay for a deposit at a hotel. Moreover It’s a tiny place whose elevator is broken and can barely fit one person with one suitcase and I’m a 52 kg person so you can imagine how tiny that elevator is. There also no space to store your luggage… they keep it at the tiny reception by the hotel entrance the whole time. I would not recommend this hotel at all.

Good place to stay at a good price. Quite central and property was good.
