Hotel Residence Concorde: Only go if you love the noise!
Satisfaction:
By svoures on August 25, 2005
We chose this hotel because it was supposed to be a 3-star hotel, within 2 minutes walk from Place de la Concorde and the price seemed very cheap for such a central hotel.
Unfortunately, the large rooms were the only good thing about this hotel. First of all, it does not have an entrance!! In its address there is a big green door which is always shut and you have to ring a buzzer to have it opened.
Once it's opened, you are greeted by a long, dark corridor of a building, with no signs. If you manage to find your way in the dark, you reach a little back alley (which is surrounded by other buildings) and there is a tiny entrance on your right with the hotel name.
In front of the entrance there is a tiny lift that takes you to the 2nd floor, where the actual hotel is!!! And be prepared for sleepless nights.
The noise coming from the street is unbearable and not stop. Once the traffic stops at around 3am you have to bear the noise from the street cleaners and then at 5am the traffic starts again.
