However jam dispensers constantly empty, pancakes and waffles cold and the breakfast room itself freezing!

Negatives
Main big problem in Paris heat- no refrigerated air conditioning, they only have evaporated air conditioning.

The air con could have done with being turned up a notch in the hot weather.

We were besieged with electrical issues due to a faulty iron…twice it blew all the power points on two separate days….ultimately fixed after a couple of requests.

As regards the rest of the hotel, the service at the reception desk was poor in respect that we had explained the air conditioning issue to one of the receptionists who was going to fix the matter whilst we were out.

The website, app, and every document related to this hotel reservation indicated A/C would be available.

The air conditioning wasn't working the room was sooo hot!couldn't open windows because of noise.

The air conditioner struggled to keep up with the warm summer days in Paris, so sleeping was a bit sticky,

Stuff tells me that "AC is the same in all rooms".

The night before we left they offered us to change rooms, providing not feedback on the AC.

On the first night we arrived the air conditioning wasn't working satisfactorily, we reported this to reception and the next day they said they had changed the filter and it was (very slightly) better,

After 3 nights of waking up drenched in my own sweat and having considered all options (virus, aircon, stress, etc) I finally checked the bed and realised Novotel, a 4 star hotel, uses plastified matrass covers right under the bed sheet.

No portable heater available even I requested for one.

This could be such a good hotel if it would only do something about it's heating system!

Even so, we had only one outlet that was working in the whole unit.

For a 4 star hotel, the a/c definitely wasn't up to scratch and the breakfast was a mess - they could arrange two areas especially during high season.

The only complaint I might have was the air conditioning was not too powerful

They came to check the a/c and they said that it would not get colder.

The free ice cream from 4-6pm was very fun and the room service was quick. The location of the hotel was decent (walking: 1h to Eiffel, 10m to pont neuf, and 1h to Arc de Triomphe)

We also took the train which is right near the hotel to Arc de Triomphe which is just a few stops away.

You could take subway to arc de triomphe, Champs Elysees etc.

We walked to Notre Dame in minutes, the Louvre, and even to the Arc de Triomphe.

We walked to The Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame, and Saint Michel Fountain.

We love walking and spent the time wandering around Place De La Concorde, up to the Arc De Triomphe and down to the Eiffel Tower - approx 12kms round trip.

The Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Triomphe are also walking distance

The hotel is about 10 minutes walking distance to Notre Dame cathedral and Louvre and another 5 minutes to Arc de Triomphe.

The location is wonderful, in the center and just next to a main metro station.

The metro station is opposite the main entrance and if you're arriving in Paris by Eurostar it's just one stop on an RER D or B train from Gare du Nord.

Metro stations were right outside the hotel, and tons of restaurants were nearby.

the location was perfect for us, with a metro station right outside the door and just a 10 min walk from Notre Dame.

Metro station is right in front, Le Louvre is a 10 minute walk, so is Notre Dam.

Friendly staff, awesome breakfast & perfectly located near a major metro station with great connectivity across and outside of Paris.

We were steps from the metro station at Châtelet-Les Halles.

Metro station just a few feet away, easily walkable to the Louvre.

On the plus side: 
Great location - Châtelet metro station is right outside the hotel and so using public transport is super easy.

The metro station is literally 50 metres away to get everywhere around Paris.

Metro station just outside, which I used for work.

but I would preferred to have a refrigerator, the hotel is well managed and clean the service was great, the hotel is close to all attractions, lots of restaurants and bars in the area, Metro station almost in the hotel, shopping center just behind the hotel and lots of other stores, overall very satisfied

The location is perfect right on Shatlet metro station, plenty of great restaurants and patisserie.

We stayed at Novotel Les Halles for 3 nights, excellent location, 1 minute walk from a very well-connected central train and metro station, Chatelete station.

Just outside the hotel there is the main station that most of metro lines interchange

The location is very central, close to a metro station, close to great shops, bakeries and restaurants.

Few steps from the huge train and metro station.

Besides that, the metro station Les Halles is one of the main one, so lots of lines stop at it, including the one to CDG.

10 steps from a major train and metro station so very quick to and from the airport.

The hotel is at a very convenient location just right beside the metro station.

But the worse was a fire drill that launched the alarms at 120db and where we were instructed by hotel personnel to stay in our room for several minutes.

Cons: 
in the middle of construction - loud construction noises/banging/drilling starting 10am everyday for the entire 6 days we stayed.

Negatives:
1) Currently, there are some road constructions going on, so hard to get Uber to come by.

There was some construction on the streets and some roads were closed so maybe that's the reason why the driver couldn't get any closer or maybe he didn't know the right way.

Hopefully all this construction work will be done soon and this will no longer be an issue.

Someone wrote about some metro construction, it´s all done now, and you can acces the metro-rer-station right on the front door of the hotel (exit Porte m. de Navarre).

NB, there is no place for taxi to come  near to the hotel due to the construction going on  (No problem for the noise).

The only disappointments were the slow check in and the noisy construction work outside,

The only inconvenience was getting to the hotel by taxi due to the construction work which is almost complete.

Some construction in front of the hotel associated with the Metro station,

We found out that the construction has been ongoing for about a year.

There is still construction out the front of the hotel

Only downside is that it's under construction, so taxi cannot take you to front.

The construction around the hotel, which was a bit of a bummer, will be done by September.

The location's construction problem was not so bad because we didn't have massive suitcases.

The construction (for a metro station entrance/exit) in front of the hotel is almost over and should make it even better connected with the metro lines.

The roads surrounding the hotel are under construction which makes UBER and TAXI drop offs a little difficult

Location is very central, walking distance to Louvre, Notre Dame, Metro (Les Halles) and the only issue is that because of the construction to Les Halles, taxis couldn't drop us at the hotel

but only after construction is fully completed.

Ps - on the Monday visit to Disney, it was our daughters 6th birthday.

Our girls loved the free ice cream in the afternoon!

We came as a family of 4 (2 kids age 7 and 10), and we had 2 connecting rooms.

We were there for  mother daughter birthday trip.

We were visiting with our son, daughter-in-law & our first grandson.

I am travelling with my teens so there are 4 of us.

Good room size, perfect for a family of two adults and two children to relax.

Sometimes they were handing out free ice cream cones in the middle of the afternoon, which my kids loved.

I came here with my two boys and I HAD REALLY GOOD TIME with my kids here.

The room which had a comfortable double for my husband and I plus a sofa bed for our daughter was excellent.

The WC near the hotel restaurants has a cutely set up, and there is also a childrens area which we thought was a thoughtful touch.

Kabira and Lucille helped us a lot to accommodate our need for room type 
Worked fast and with integrity really superb job 
Not to forget very cooperative bell boys always available and super polite 
Breakfast free for kids and quality of breakfast was amazing 
You can make your own fresh fruit juice here first time for me 
I definitely recommend for family stay in Paris 
Location 5 star

Our young adult children enjoyed the junior suite.

We had two kids (4 & 6) who really enjoyed the kids room.

The we made a note on our reservations that we had 2 children traveling with us and the staff decorated the room with balloons and provided coloring pages and color pencils for the kids.

Inside there was even a separate play space for young children!

My granddaughter and I met in Paris for a long weekend and completely enjoyed our stay at Novotel Paris Les Halles.

It has a large variety to choose from everything were delicious and the price seems to be a bargain as kid have breakfast for free.

Executive room with Queen size and sofà for two teens was nice and comfortable.

Hotel is incredibly well located for restaurants, shops, sightseeing and transport.

So - location wise this hotel could not have been more perfectly placed had we done it by hand.

Great ambiance, Great Food (Price-quality ratio is alright) and if You’re lucky You’ll be with Théo who is a great waiter. The Restaurant is located inside a hotel,

very good location exept that taxis cannot come up to main door so you need to walk a couple of meters to get to street.

Very good hotel, perfect location (there is a metro station right in front of it), outstanding breakfast (really good), the staff is very friendly and helpful (specially Paulo that speaks Portuguese and helped us Brazilians with some great insights about the local restaurants).

Novotel Les Halles is very well located, next to Westfield Forum Les Halles - a great mall, near RER and Metro.

This very nice hotel provides value for money in terms of location (atop a transport hub), great breakfast, nice and proficient staff.

The metro is also located right in the front of it!

-Great location near the metro 
- Walking distance to cafes/restaurants: just at the doorstep 
- Walking distance to the Lourve 
- Nice rooms
- Breakfast is fantastic: try it !

The hotel is lovely and in and excellent location near great restaurants, shopping, and cultural sites.

Excellent location and great rooms and very clean.

The location of the hotel, a few blocks from both the Seine and the Louvre, is hip, lively, and offers numerous bistros, shops and the enormous Samaritaine department store.

First of all, the location of the hotel is excellent, and central, very clean.

The hotel was in a great position and was comfortable and quiet at night.

The hotel was in great location with tons of restaurants,shops and the metro at the doorstep.

I made a few crepes and the environment in the breakfast room was modern and sleek.

The hotel was extremely clean with lovely modern décor throughout.

The rooms are spacious, modern, and impeccably clean.

but it's clean, modern and it works and looks out for its guests - you are made to feel you matter and they try.

Our executive and superior rooms were just perfect for us - spacious, clean, modern and the beds are very comfortable.

The bathrooms are modern and overhead waterfall-type shower heads are a nice touch after a day of Paris sites.

kid friendly

That benefit allowed us to take a break and recharge at various spots near places like the Arc de Triomphe and Sacred Heart Basilica before heading back out on our exploration of the great city.

We walked from the Arc de Triomphe to the hotel - it was a great way to explore.

We walked to the Arc de Triomphe which took about an hour that was an extremely pleasant trip.

The staff were able to provide ideas for visiting the sites and were also able to book tickets for Seine cruise, Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre.

It is easy to walk to and from the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower and Montmartre etc as long as you are reasonably mobile (and have comfortable shoes!).

We walked to the Louvre, Musee d’Orsey, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Musee Rodin.

turn right for the Champs Elysee and l’arc de triomphe .

You are close to the Louvre and the City Island where Notre Dame is - other sites (Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe) are a little far,

We were able to enjoy coffee and a clean restroom near Arc de Triomphe and Saint Honore.

The Hotel Location is perfect for Shopping and Sightseeing.

The location was near many points of interest.

Can’t beat the location close to the Louvre!

Hotel is very comfortable and clean in a good location.

but we decided to try the Hotel Malte based on its location and great reviews.

Very nice and central located hotel in the middle of Paris.

Malte Hotel Paris is superbly located for Louvre visits, offering excellent value.

The location was excellent, i will return to this hotel very soon!

Hotel in a nice location would definitely stay again

The location was excellent as it is central to all major sites (only a 5 minute walk to the Louvre).

Very friendly and supportive staff, very generous hotel, perfect location, very clean and comfy room.

Room cleaned/refreshed impeccably 
Location perfect for first time visitors.

Not to mention the breakfast, room, staffs, and the best location.

Location was strategic about 10 min from Louvre and surrounded by many restaurants.

It is situated a few blocks from the Louvre, and we walked daily to so many other Paris landmarks because of its central location.

The rooms are so quaint, beds are comfortable and the whole ambiance makes you feel like you're in Paris.

The room was amazing and we got an upgrade to our surprise!

but if you want a room with a large room, book a room with a higher grade.)

The staff was amazing, water and other refreshments were always waiting in my room.

Our room was very cool and included a loft room which my daughter loved.

The room furniture is a mixture of traditional and modern style, the mini bar is included in the price.

The staff was delightful, the rooms were exceptionally comfortable, and the amenities provided an extra touch of luxury.

Mentioned our anniversary when I booked and when we returned to the room on the big day we were met with a bottle of champagne on ice and some snacks with a card wishing us a Happy Anniversary.

Best location ever the staff was super kind, the room was very beautiful decorated.

Came for our 10th wedding anniversary hotel upgraded our room on arrival which was lovely.

They held our luggage until our room was ready.

The room was very clean and had a cozy feel to it.

The room was very small (compared to American-sized hotel rooms),

The room we had was small (to be expected in Paris)

While the room was small (it is Paris, so that is to be expected), it was very clean, well-organized, and fun.

My room was really small, I would have preferred to be in a smaller hotel

The rooms are very small (typical of Paris) -

We only gave 4 stars because the rooms a bit small.

I'm very familiar with Paris hotels and know rooms are small and expensive.

The front desk personnel (Princess and another young lady) were simply engaging and gave us directions to every place imaginable in the area.

The greeting, information, and hospitality were 5 star service!

Staff is absolutely first class with their hospitality!

All the staff of lobby desk and restaurant do their best.

On arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff at reception.

Finally, the staff was very extremely attentive and always helpful.

Staff is friendly and very accommodating.

The whole staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Each evening when we returned another cheerful greeting.

The staff were always ready to answer questions and help.

They were all very helpful and answering any questions we had.

Thanks to Stephanie Cohen and to the attentive and efficient staff of MALTE ASTOTEL

location

It helped massage sore muscles after a full day of sight seeing snd climbing the stairs if the Arc de Triomphe!

We were easily able to visit many attractions such as the Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.

Very near the metro which was faster than uber to Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, etc.

Less than 10 minutes away from Moulin Rogue by taxi, and Arc de Triomphe is a good 20 minute walk

We walked to the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Napoleon's tomb, The Seine, the Arc de Triomphe and so many other places.

but close to a Metro station, however, we walked to all the major sites within a day (Notre Dame / Eiffel Tower / Arc de Triomphe etc) quite easily.

although there is construction across the street, that can be noticed at times.

Across the Place, there was construction of a new multi-story building, so noise was a problem between around 8am to 5pm approx.

There was construction going on, so the small square facing the hotel was quite noisy at times.

The bedroom overlooked the opera area which is sadly under construction on the lower level

One thing it was not good is the front of the hotel(^_^;)It was middle of construction

but had wished they warned us about the construction.

The nearest metro station (Richelieu Drouot) was closed for construction,

The issue that compromised our stay was the construction.

My only complaint was that there was some hideous construction going on nearby that woke everyone up at 8 am with earth shattering crashing,

It's a rare thing, so imagine how disappointing it was on our 2 night stay in Paris, one of the few times we might have actually been able to sleep past 6:30am, to be woken up at 8am sharp by loud construction.

There was some construction going on out in front of the hotel during our visit, which made for a less than spectacular building facade and entrance,

but the sidewalk is still cut up, so I suspect there may be follow-on construction at a later date.

Would have been very quiet if not for the noise of road construction -no fault of hotel!
