Handsome Hotel by Elegancia

Perfect location, excellent service, just a bit cramped. Bed was too short and I’m only average height.

There was air conditioning... Room small, decor outdated, no real elevator, stairs were narrow and dark (I was 28 weeks pregnant and terrified of falling), toilet nestled between the wall and shower (a larger person couldn't comfortably fit). They really tried to make our visit pleasent, but the room was well below our expectations so we left after night one.

The front desk staff was not helpful. Watched us bring in 2 check in luggage’s and 2 carry on. It was raining outside and he did not offer to help. Elevator was extremely small. Only fits 2 people at the same time or 1 person and 1 luggage. Room was small but was practical. Construction outside right now and roads are not paved. Our luggage’s and clothes got dirty from waking in. No taxi or Uber access due to construction. Have to walk out 3-4 blocks to get uber. Don’t desk gave us wrong directions. We walked an addition 2 blocks in the opposite direction and missed our uber. In the rain! The employee were not welcoming or helpful.

The location was awesome. The hotel is a cute little boutique hotel. Overall the experience was good because you don't come to Paris to sit in your hotel room all day. Having said that ... the lobby, the elevator and the hallways have a very funky (not pleasant) smell. The service could be much better. I checked out on Sunday morning at 530 AM. It was cold, dark and rainy. I connected with Uber for a ride to CDG. I asked the front desk person to speak with the Uber driver to tell him how to get to the hotel. He refused telling me that Ubers don't/can't drive to the front of the hotel. Which is BS because I got dropped off 2 doors down from the hotel in mid afternoon traffic. So i had to lug my suitcases (I was alone) two blocks to the main road. AND I had to ask him to help me take my luggage outside and even then i got attitude about it. The service definitely needs an overhaul.
