Grand Hotel de Clermont

It's not a grand hotel at all, but it is a grand location. We were in Paris to re-take Chef PJ's tour and decided to stay in the area and eat at the restaurants he suggested. That turned out to be an excellent plan. This hotel had a location that made it possible. Clean, serviceable, but not grand.

It's a small family owned and managed hotel in a good location near the Pigalle Metro station, which is also not far from the major train station Gare Nord (international arrivals and train to CDG airport). It's on a quiet street. My room was above a noisy pub, but I was so tired I slept well. There are also rooms facing the back which is away from the pub and light sleepers should request one of those rooms. The staff are excellent! The son of the owners is very friendly and he helped me with my luggage. The room was large by central Paris standards and it had a lot of character which I liked. Not fancy, but the price was low for central Paris which is what I wanted. Overall the best aspects are location, great staff, low price, and spacious rooms. I was pleased and I would stay there again.

I am just back from a trip which my friend booked for a special birthday treat for me . She sent me the link to the website before we booked . We agreed it looked like a lovely small hotel and perfectly positioned for our stay. On arrival we were a little disappointed with the entrance but we got over it . The members of staff we encountered were lovely guys and helpful but that’s really were it stopped . The room (no. 16) was at the back on the first floor . It was small but clean . A tiny wardrobe with 3 coat hangers, 2 small bedside stools and a small table described as a desk . We lived out of our cases for 4 nights . The bathroom was not great , mould all on the sealant in the shower, two brackets on the wall but no shelf and toilet roll holder missing so no actual space to even leave your toothbrush .There were small bars of soap and sachets of shampoo … there was a hairdryer on the wall with mirror tiles that were too high to see in and not really space in the room to actually blow dry your hair ( thank goodness I took my own ) on a positive the room was cleaned daily and fresh towels provided) . There was no food available for breakfast as shown in the pictures online . The coffee machine was hardly filled and when my friend asked for milk for her tea non was available …There is a bar attached to the side of the hotel which is very dated but seems very popular at nighttime . the day we booked out we left our cases thinking they would be put in a secure cupboard … when we returned they were sat in reception along with many others of people who were also leaving. Although there were cameras nobody was actually there to keep an eye on them ….. the wifi was awful hardly working most of the time and we turned the tv on once to only find one French channel and nothing else ….. we lived with it all as it was a place to sleep whilst we were in Paris . It is well suited to get the metro with at least 3 stations close by . Not far from the Moulin Rouge and Sacre Coeur . I’m sorry but at €200 a night this is not good value in my opinion. I must stress that the staff were very friendly and the hotel seemed to be booked up … I hope this review helps when considering booking here …… it definitely needs a little update

Got bed bug bites on both my girlfriend and I every night here. We got new bed bug bites all over my body every morning we stayed at this hotel. We originally booked a 3rd night with this hotel but left as my body got covered in bites, and I had to buy medication to stop the itch. I also found bed bug skeletons on the mattress. The Details: We booked 3 nights with this hotel. After the first night at the hotel, we got a few bites on my body. I was scared, and isolated all my luggage and clothes. We thought it hopefully was a mosquito. HOWEVER, after a second night at the hotel, we woke up and my body got covered in MORE BITES on my FACE, ARMS, WRISTS, and LEGS. we immediately showed this to the staff at the hotel, who was incredibly dismissive, kept saying “it can’t be at the hotel”, and that “it could be mosquito bites” - these bites were in clusters on my body, and only happened overnight at the hotel and did NOT look like mosquito bites. We did not want to stay another night at this hotel and left. We asked for a refund on Agoda for the two nights I stayed, and the one night we paid for but did not stay. Agoda then informed us that the refund can not be processed as the hotel claimed that we apparently “broke the rules because we smashed their mirror/ coat hangers/ left a cigarette on the floor” - all of which are NOT TRUE, and we have NEVER DONE. Why would we do that when we want a refund from the hotel? In addition, why would any customer, especially a platinum member of Agoda, do this? They also have NO Proof. We then went back to the hotel to ask why they lied to Agoda, and to demand a refund. They agreed to giving a refund and said it needs to be processed on Agoda. They admitted to lying to Agoda about the smashed mirror claims so they do not need to be shut down due to health violations. We trusted them and left to process the refund through Agoda. THEN, the NEXT DAY, Agoda sent me a email saying this hotel is demanding compensation for the smashed mirror. The hotel LIED to Agoda such that they do not need to be closed down due to health violations. We have proof of the room condition before we left the room, and found bed bugs poo stains on their mattresses. They are now not replying to Agoda staff enquiries as well as my enquiries. The truth is that we got new bed bug bites every morning after a night at this hotel. The hotel staff was dismissive, and then lied to Agoda to avoid health violations. No refunds were offered. What is funny is that this is not the first time this hotel has bed bugs. A traveller on Trip Advisor also got bed bug bites after staying at this hotel, and the hotel staff did not handle that case well either. Shame on you Hotel de Clermont, you bring such a bad name to Paris and the people of France.

Very basic. No cups. No bath towels. Nice polite customer service friendly

Positives: Centrally located, friendly staff, affordable Improvements needed: Cleanliness -- there was substantial black mold in our shower that had not been cleaned. The bathroom had no ventilation which contributed to the mold problem. The wifi was not really working for our room and were constantly dropped from access. Other less important things - hair dryer was not working and there was no control for the TV. We don't need fancy accommodations, but cleanliness is a must and the shower was gross. I would not stay there again. Be sure to check the room before paying.

this hotel is nice and cute even if it seems a bit strange at the entrance but in the end you sleep and you feel good also because it's clean, we haven't found a stain. The only thing is that in the evening there was some noise. For the rest 👍🏻

great location, great service, fantastic stay!

We booked and payed for luggage storage in this hotel but at the contracted time and date the hotel was closed. After ringing the bell a window was openen and a cleaning lady told us blantly the manager wasn't there and she wouldn't help us. So all in all we had to carry our luggage a whole day through Paris. Extremely disappointing!
