Hotel CIS Paris Kellermann

The worst hotel ever stayed…very dirty..I don’t know why they called HOTEL becouse is just a place ho can’t were this name Hotel..food disappointing even 1 sign saying 1 croissant per person..what a funny place..the boiling egs was colder then my inside fridge at home

Plus sides are Hotel is close to Metro ( 3 mins walk ) Quite modern and spacious. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Minus points were bathroom was not a bathroom at all but a cubicle about 1m2. Breakfast was included but horrific. The worst coffee I think I ever had in my whole life ( and I’ve drunk a lot of coffee ). I took one sip and left the rest. Tasted like frothy dishwater. Staff were very unfriendly. At breakfast there were a bunch of guys just standing there staring angrily at the customers. I think they were guarding the machine that made drinkable coffee as when I approached it one guy stopped me and said “NO” and pointed towards the machine that made the dishwater. Breakfast was possibly the worst I’ve seen in any hotel and that was before I tasted the coffee. The worst thing though was the lack of any protection against the stifling heat in our room. The bed was equipped with a thick winter duvet and there was no Aircon or even a fan in the room. The temperature in the room was over 30 degrees so needless to say we hardly got any sleep at all . When we checked out, I tried to hand over our room key and the receptionist just shook her head, pointed to the box for the returned keys then returned to her Instagram or whatever she was doing.

We made the mistake of asking reception to book us a taxi for a ten minute journey to the jearest traon station. The company they used is clearly a scam, as they charged us 80euros for a 10 minute drive and said that this is because they are a private company. Clearly this taxi firm is a scam, and we were left with no choice but to pay as the taxi driver became aggressive when we asked why it was so much money for such a short journey. We were robbed essentially. Besides being scammed, the room was really awful, with a very strange bathroom. A hotel I would strongly recommend that you avoid.

I booked a double room with single beds and bathroom for three nights in September. The hotel is far from the centre, but is still close to two different metro stops and a couple of bus stops, making it easy to reach the main attractions in twenty-thirty minutes. Quite convenient to reach also from Orly airport by choosing the cheapest solution (tram 7 - brown to Villejuif then change to metro 7 - pink, about an hour's journey). On the ground floor there are some vending machines (food, water, various items), useful in case of emergency. The bathroom, as stated at the time of booking, is little, ship's cabin style, anyway it was larger than I expected. To take a shower there is a curtain that prevents the toilet/sink from getting wet, keeping in mind that the floor will still get wet. The buffet breakfast offers yogurt, milk, cereals, boiled eggs, cooked ham, bread to toast, jams, butter, croissants and mini baguettes (of the latter two you can take a piece each per person) and there is a hot drinks dispenser. One towel per person + one mat are provided in the room, the towels were changed every day. I will definitely keep the hotel in mind for the future if I return to Paris.
