Hôtel Saphir Grenelle

Except for the night clerk every one on the staff was nice and helpful. If this is two star rated then I suggest finding a higher rated place. The room was just inadequate. The shower was so small that you bumped your elbows each time you tried to turn around. The safe was locked and never fixed so we had no place for safekeeping anything. Not worth even the 'discounted' price of about XXX per night. One evening a couple was trapped in the elevator, thank God it wasn't us. No AC is a big disadvantage when the weather warmed up. Leaving open a window compromised our safety and allowed the already loud street noise to make going to sleep even more difficult. We survived but did not enjoy this hotel at all.

Pros: The day desk man during our stay was very helpful. All the staff was except for the man on duty at night who was short with his answers and kind of upset we might disturb him with a request for extra pillows.

Cons: Everything was tiny and no place to store anything. The elevator was very small and did not work all the time. We had to leave the window open because it was warm and no AC. The street noise was loud until the wee hours of the morning. Not worth it.
