Résidence Chlorophylle

Whilst travelling to the South of France we booked this hotel online a few days before. Having looked at the website it looked like a little oasis on the outskirts of Paris. When we arrived we were slightly taken aback (see photo) BUT once you step inside the main door, you will be absolutely stunned. It is a gorgeous hotel and even though it was close to the road, there was no noise whatsoever. A welcoming person on reception who was extremely friendly. We were given our room (42) which was a family room. On entering you had a kitchen table to your right, double bed and at the far end the kitchen area and bathroom (with a shower). To the left were stairs leading to two single beds. We paid £71 for the four of us and we loved it so much we booked it at the end of our holiday for another night in Paris. LePlace is the nearest tube and took us no more than 12 minutes to get to Notre Dame. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the bathroom was well stocked. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Having looked at the cost of other hotels, some over £300, this was an absolute find.

When we arrived the (cheapest) studio was super clean but it didn’t look as nice as on the photos. The bed is 1.90, shorter than me. There was no fan or airco, and it was super hot. I could hardly sleep: open your windows at night even when you’re immediately next to the courtyard. Which was a really nice courtyard where we enjoyed our dinner and some drinks. We saw a rat there but hey, it’s a historic farm, next to Paris, two rat paradises. Just don’t leave your door open if you are on the ground floor on the yard. There was a cafetière promised but when I asked where it was the guy was very surprised i asked about it since there was a water cooker and two sachets of instant coffee (!). No wine glasses, but there was a cork screw (that is often missing in France, weird, I know) The microwave was super new. The rest was adequate. Decent distance to the RER. The court yard is definitely the major selling point. Nothing fancy but just really nice in the middle of busy Montrouge. Family dinners and relaxed atmospheres.

Unfortunately, I found the receptionist very rude. The unit was very dirty, there were insects, dust and spider webs. The receptionist is very dismissive and does everything to avoid you. Bed sheets are not changed, room wasnt cleaned even once during 4 days stay and dust bin was not emptied. The rooms are in good condition but need looking after. Terrible
