Honestly, I want to give this hotel an excellent review, because there were many positive points to staying here. The hotel is conveniently located no more than ten minutes from Gare du Nord station - it is also impossibly close to lots of amazing restaurants such as Padzouille and Hugo's (both of which I would recommend!). It is also charmingly quaint and the one-person lift makes me feel like I am in a James Bond movie.
However, there were a few hiccups of which I feel I need to mention. The first being the air con system. We were originally booked into a hostel for our three night stay in Paris, but upon hearing that said hostel had no air conditioning, we re-booked with Hotel Peyris. Unfortunately the air con barely managed to blow out any air at all, let alone cold air. The dial on the wall seemed to be broken as we couldn't turn it down, meaning it happily told us each morning that we had slept soaked in our own sweat at around 26 degrees. As our room overlooked a courtyard, opening the windows didn't produce much of a breeze either.
I tried to explain this to the lady on reception, and although she managed to turn the temperature down for us on the second evening, the air conditioning then switched itself off within a couple of hours. Contrastingly, the system in the other room our group of four had booked worked perfectly. My only other real complaint would be our "bathroom". I was sharing a two-single-bed room with my male friend. The toilet cubicle in this particular room was split off from the shower room. It could only have been described as a box toilet, as it was so small you had to leave the door open for fear of claustrophobia. It also meant you had to travel across the hotel room into the shower room in order to wash your hands, which is not ideal when sharing.
To surmise, I still have to say I enjoyed my stay here, and that this particular part of Paris was charming. I just hope that the air conditioning gets a revamp - thirty degree heat with none is not my cup of tea.
