Hôtel le Rempart Reviews

I stayed twice in the last week. The first stay was very comfortable in a renovated room. I decided to stay again on the way back to Paris - big mistake. It was raining and I was tired when I booked a "traditional" room. This apparently means a room not changed since the 1970s - and walking through a dangerous, dark construction zone with missing ceiling tiles, handing wires and exposed electrical outlets. The room was terrible - awful lighting, stained furniture, no proper shower are just part of it. I asked to change rooms - the difference on agoda was $8 and on the website was EUR 10. She said it would be EUR 49. I asked her to check if something else was possible - she called rhe manager and he replied EUR 52! The room had no air circulation and was stuffy - I opened a window and was woken several times by loud music and trucks. In addition the hotel is deceptive about restaurant hours. It is posted until 10:00 PM. I arrived at 9:15 PM and they refused to serve anything other than a meat and cheese platter. I went to dinner around the corner to Bouchon de Bourgogne (Hotel de Greuze) and they were so welcoming unlike the lazy kitchen staff at Le Rempart. When I went to pay the city tax on Sunday morning there was no manager on site. The receptionist tried calling but no response. I was not surprised. Between the construction zone and no management availavle one has to question the commitment to safety. A monument to deception here. I recommend going to a proper hotel like the Hotel de Greuze or a larger town.
