Positive Reviews
positive:
Great location for the Eiffel Tower
While De l'Alma did come in for its share of criticism, no guest found fault with its location. It was the star feature in the guest's eyes. It is described as being just a very short walk to the Eiffel Tower, and also conveniently close to several metro stations. From these guests found that the whole of Paris became accessible to them.
positive:
Remarkably quiet
Despite its central location, several guests expressed their astonishment with just how quiet it was at night, even those with road facing rooms. It seems the hotel is fortunate enough to be in a quiet side street in a very central neighbourhood.
positive:
Very safe neighbourhood
Again and again guests went out of their way to say that they considered the surrounding neighbourhood to be very safe, not worrying about walking around at night and so on.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Very poor breakfast
It was very hard to find anything good written about the hotel's breakfast. It is described as very meagre, something like the “coffee and croissant” stereotype, and certainly not enough to get guests through to lunch. It may be best to forego this in favour of a breakfast at a nearby café.
negative:
Dark and narrow hallways
Quite a few guests mentioned that the bulbs used to light the hallways must have exceptionally low wattage. They were described as very dark and dingy, and also too narrow for comfort.
negative:
Uncomfortable beds
While complaints about bed comfort are inevitable, given personal mattress hardness preferences, there were perhaps a bit too many guests mentioning uncomfortable beds to be ignored.
