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 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.

It is a great convenient location, short walk to Pompidou, five mins to Pont Neuf, 15 mins to Louvre etc., and Chatelet metro is literally at the hotel front door and it’s the train line from Charles de Gaulle airport and Gare de Lyon and other stations.

We were most impressed with how close to all of central Paris this location is .. and a quick walk to the most central of metro stations the Gare De Lyon .

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.

Our room has all modern conveniences and is totally satisfactory.

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.

Rooms are very tidy and modern to Paris standards.

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.

The room was comfortable, modern, and spacious.

Plenty of shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

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

So slap bang in the middle of town - and with numerous restaurants, bistros and pavement cafes in every direction.

but the garden you‘ll be eating in is without roof and very nice:)

I would like to point out that the hotel staff member Paulo was very attentive and had valuable insights about the local restaurants, especially for portuguese-speaking guests.

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).

Restaurants galore and a shopping center in the neighborhood.

If you go here which I highly recommend, please try the restaurant food.

-Great location near the metro 
- Walking distance to cafes/restaurants: just at the doorstep 
- Walking distance to the Lourve 
- Nice rooms

The best food ever Pablo recommended us alot of restaurants were very good also lots of place to visit eifel tower also good restaurant and very friendly atmosphere I will come again so as I can recommend every that can come to go.

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

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.

Restaurant (for breakfast and dinner)  is very nice and the food excellent as well.

Especially Paolo was very kind and helpful with our baggage and recommendations for places to eat.

In the heart of the action, lots of bars and cafes nearby.

The food during the whole event was simply amazing.

Which ended up being fine since the food was so great.

Special thanks to Luca who gave us a very warm welcome and kind recommendations on restaurants which made our stay in Paris a very memorable one.

Amazing full buffet breakfast, helpful staff and set amongst beautiful cafes and restaurants.

There are wonderful restaurants and coffee shops outside the door.

Location perfect - five minutes from Gare de Lyon (take main exit at front of station).

Excellent location, reasonable price, clean, comfortable, all sorts of food outlets near by, three minutes walk to Gare de Lyon, luggage storage.

Perfectly located near Gare de Lyon, super easy for those arriving by train.

I stayed at the Hotel Palym overnight before catching a train south from Gare de Lyon.

Quiet place in a small street only 100m from the trainstation Gare de Lyon.

I stayed at Hotel Palym as I needed to be very close to Gare de Lyon.

* Fantastic location, Gare de Lyon is a great metro stop to live at.

We will use this hotel again if we need one near Gare de Lyon!

A typical 3 star hotel in Paris with bit hectic surroundings with lots of commuters to/from Gare de Lyon.

The hotel is very well situated next to gare de Lyon in Paris.

Super comfortable, clean,  hotel less than 5 minute walk from Gare de Lyon.

I may consider coming back here if I have to stay near Gare de Lyon,

We left almost immediately to catch a train at the Gare de Lyon.

I love it because it's nice and personnel, well situated, close to the Gare de Lyon, where I normally arrive with the TGV and from where there is a metro Line takes me straight to the center.

We chose this hotel as it was close to thhe Gare de Lyon and we had an early train to catch.

A friendly, handy and good value hotel in great location in Paris near Gare de Lyon.

Very convenient location just next to Gare de Lyon.

less than 200 yards from the Gare de Lyon.

It’s close to Gare de Lyon and we had a room on the street

The hotel is very close top Gare de Lyon, which makes it also very close to the Paris Islands, Bastille, Louvre, Les Halles, etc.

Comfortable bed was comfortabl The hotel was at  great location very close to the Gare De Lyon.

The Hotel is very well situated - near Gare de Lyon and Metro - and is good value for money.

Its center location is wonderful, close to Gare de Lyon, and walking distance to some Paris attraction.

I chose this hotel due to it's proximity to the Gare de Lyon.

Well located close by Gare de Lyon,this hotel is the best solution I found till now for a business trip.

We chose this hotel as it was within walking distance of Gare De Lyon station and had favourable Trip Advisor reviews.

Hotel Palym offers great value: superb location (close to Gare de Lyon and Metro), a couple of brasseries (some of which open 24h) around the corner, clean and apparently newly refurbished rooms.

The only good thing about this place is proximity to Gare de Lyon.

This hotel looked nice on the website and we did pick it for its location very close to Gare de Lyon as we had an early train to catch,

It is near the Gare de Lyon, well connected with the main attractions in Paris, at a short walk distance from the Bastille and Marais
The room was clean and very comfortable.

Hotel Palym sat bang in the middle of the two - so close to Gare de Lyon (which made for an easy two stop access home via Gare de Nord Eurostar).

Location near Gare de Lyon was perfect with many cafes and shops all within walking distance.

We chose it for its proximity to the Gare de Lyon.

Accessible and very near the Gare De Lyon & Metro.

* Nice resturant locations within a few minutes.

Plenty of restaurants just around the corner.

Some fantastic food spots are very close to the hotel.

Friendly restaurants and bars nearby for evening meal.

The hotel is literally across the street from the station and surrounded by restaurants featuring different cuisine.

It is a charming restaurant with personal & friendly service, nice wine and good food.

The area is well lit and plenty of restaurants along the street so we felt very safe.

There is a great restaurant, recommended, on the corner and a lovely place to eat, drink wine and relax.

Decent breakfast with a full range of food, not just coffee and croissants.

However the bathroom was very small, which made it awkward to use and there was no space to put down clothes or washing kit.

The shower was SO small that you shouldn't take this room is you are at all hefty.

toilets are tiny the only good thing of this hotel is the location

The rooms at Palym were so beautifully decorated, bathrooms are a little small,

The room was a good size for the centre of Paris with a double bed, desk, TV (only 1 English channel), shower bathroom and a small balcony.

The bathroom was quite tiny with a small shower stall, and not a lot of shelf space to put your toiletries.

The only cons that I can think of are the small bathroom (expected though) and no free breakfast (Need to pay additional 8 Euros per pax).

The only negatives were that there weren't any dresser to put clothes in and the bathroom was really small.

The bed was very comfirtable, bathroom was very tiny

The bathrooms (someof us had very small bathrooms also) were modern with shower only.

It is so small that the toilet seat is on the verge of falling off the toilet because it is so hard to get into a proper seating position without knocking your knees into the wall, so most people must have sat sideways and moved the seat out of its position.

Back to our room - it was a pretty small room by US standards with a tiny bathroom that included a shower stall

but this time our room was very small ,included the shower a toilet (36)
it was very silent.

but room was very small and didn't contain basic items such drawers and bag table.

The hotel is really small and the rooms even smaller and really cold.

Room was a bit small as we had 2 big luggages to open,

The room booked as a triple room had a small fold out lounge stuffed in a corner, very uncomfortable for my 17 yr old.

Typically of Paris hotels they are maximising the use of the space, the lift and rooms were a little on the small side.

Room was quite small for a double, view was not amazing, Wifi was awful and was told there were too many people using it?

Overall, everything is perfect if u don't mind the small room.

Absolutely perfect if you are catching a train

Beautiful hotel right in front of Gare du Lyon, so it's perfect when travelling by train.

We stayed in Paris only for 3 nights… so we wanted a very well connected hotel, near the most important attractions to go by train or even walking… this hotel meets that requirements and also it’s clean, comfortable and the staff are lovely.

Would recommend if you need to catch an early train.

Would definitely stay here again, even if I didn't have an early morning train.

Very nice position near the Railway and Metro station.

Too close to Lyon Train Station, métro and train and Place Bastille as well.

I am moving to Montpellier and hoped to find regular hotel in Paris, near to the train.

Because it is so near the Gate Dr Lyon and because we were traveling by train we stayed here.

Perfect for late train arrivals and/or early departures.

We booked this hotel for a quick overnight stay knowing we were getting off the train at Gare du Lyon at 11pm.

We particularly liked the mural lighting, depicting historic railway scenes.

but I barely noticed that - modern and clean with a well lit mirror and heated towel rail.

We chose this hotel as it was close to both an intercity and inter-country railway stations.
