New Hôtel Saint Lazare

2 stars, and 2 thumbs down.

Ulemper: Mold in the shower. WiFi did NOT work in the hotel room. One staff member pretended to be surprised, the other told me it was a known problem.

The rooms are very small and in need of renovation. During the summer the heat is unbearable, as there is no air-conditioning or fan, and the windows facing the street can't be open due to the level of noise at all hours of the night. The hotel doesn't meet the expectations for a 3 star hotel. This was the worst experience I had with priceline and I wouldn't recommend the hotel. I often use priceline and always recommend it, but due to this unfortunate experience, my overall trust in priceline has suffered.

The location was acceptable for accessing the typical tourist areas, but in Paris, everywhere is accessible given the metro system. It was not near to anything, which was OK, but it was a short walk to two metro stations. The hotel is, by any definition, a 1 star hotel, or possible a 1 1/2 star due to the inclusion of a minimalist breakfast buffet that offered HARD boiled and cold eggs, rolled lunch meat ham, cereal, cheese much like Velveta (in France!!!) and some bread. The breakfast was not offered until 7 AM, preventing us from making an early start on the day. Priceline should remove this hotel from its list of 3 star offerings.

Fordeler: Location OK

Ulemper: This is NOT a 3 star hotel. I will be making a claim with Priceline for booking me into a 1 star when I was bidding for 3. This is a 1 star hotel at best. It offers a poor breakfast buffet as its ONLY amenity above a tiny, dirty, ill-maintained room.
