The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel is located on a quiet side-street, a five minute walk to some dining options and a somewhat longer walk to a bus stop and the RER B train. There was no air conditioning, but a loaner fan enabled sleep. You should also be aware that there are no in-house dining options, breakfast included. There were some stains on the rug, but otherwise, the premises were in excellent condition. Unconditionally recommended.

Excellent living condition for sleeping if you intend to be out for long periods of time. However, it does get hot in sunny days. Request a fan. Otherwise, very simple and has all necessities. Lots of food and shops nearby.

The room was a bit small and the room style was basic and a bit old but fine. The room had a nice scenic painting. The staff were very pleasant. The location is close to two subway metro stations. Nice restaurants are nearby. A great grocery store is almost across the street. I would be happy to stay at Hotel Le Clos d'Alesia again.

This hotel is okay. If you are the type to explore all day and just need it for sleeping then this is for you. All the attractions as in Eiffel Tower, louvre, etc. are 25min distance but you have transportation near by. This hotel does not have AC in the rooms, only small fans. I was there during the heat summer days and it’s brutal. The staff was nice and friendly.

Small, Well Maintained Hotel, in a Great Location
The hotel rooms were generally larger than the typical Parisian hotel. The desk clerks were extremely friendly and management was very helpful in accommodating an error in our booking (we meant to book an additional day, but the room we were already in was already booked for that extra night). It was clean, and generally well maintained. The location was not near tourist areas, but it was a quick taxi or metro ride, or perhaps a 20 minute walk, to get to the places we wanted to go. The fact that it is not near tourist areas was nice (for us, anyway), in that the shops and restaurants nearby were not "touristy" and generally less expensive. Wi-Fi was good, but open. Make sure you use a VPN or some other encryption if you are entering passwords. The only downside was that Paris was experiencing a heat wave during our stay, and the hotel is not air-conditioned. Electric fans were available on request though. Our room was directly over the entrance, and occasionally, the clerks would step outside to smoke a cigarette, and the odor would waft into our room (which were open due to the heat wave). So, if they read this review, perhaps they would consider stepping a few meters away from the front of the hotel in the future. We would definitely consider a stay in this hotel again. It was a near perfect fit for what we were looking for!

A Lovely Non-Tourist Experience
This is a small hotel and if you're game to walk, you can access the Eiffel Tower and other Parisian experiences, or be there in minutes by taxi. We preferred staying local, finding a local restaurant, and sitting with Parisians playing cards, chatting over beers, and generally enjoying each other's company. The service in the hotel was warm and friendly, the room intimate and charming, the breakfast delicious - all aesthetically pleasing. A nice memory.

Old hotel but great service
Older hotel, but very clean and great service. There is a 24 hour front desk who held the key card when we entered and left, so there’s no chance of losing it. Convenient location. Lots of bakeries and cafes just down the block, and a subway station and bus stop are just two blocks away. Takes 30 minutes by public transit to reach the main attractions (Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower). Beds aren’t the most comfortable, but was fine for one night. Note that there is NO elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up to four flights of stairs!

Great staff, not sure it's 3*
The staff at the hotel are extremely helpful and accommodating. That's by far the greatest asset of this hotel. I'm not quite sure how this is a 3 star. It does not have AC. Depending on the time of the year you're travelling, it might not be a huge deal. But when it's 35C it is very uncomfortable. The staff do provide a fan but that's hardly the same thing. I do realize it's my fault for not specifically checking this when booking but I thought it's common sense a 3* hotel would have that.

Good base for exploring.
We chose this hotel because it was reasonably priced and in a part of Paris we had not stayed in before. The hotel is small, comfortable and has a very friendly team of staff. It is situated close to a Metro station and there are some good bars and cafes nearby. La Butte aux Cailles and Montparnasse are both within walking distance and offer excellent (though very different!) experiences of what we regard as "the real Paris". Breakfast was traditional and featured home made jams - definitely worth trying. We are already looking to see if we can make time for a return visit.

Thieves
We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. Came late the night we signed in and left early for our day in Paris. Came back about dinner time. They didn't waste anytime entering our room to rummage through our suitcases and steal from us. I know the warnings about staying places, taking your valuables with you. But you take everything with you all the time, thats why you rent hotel rooms. It's not comforting to know that you can't leave without confidence in the security you're ideally paying for.

A low standard three star hotel
The area was reasonably close to the centre and well served by metro and buses. There was a supermarket nearby and lots of cafés and eateries. The receptionists were friendly. Our room was very warm and welcoming particularly relative to the cold and windy conditions of the outside. However we were disappointed with the dirty carpet, the uncomfortable armchair, and my partner found the bed too short for him (he is only 176 cm). Furthermore the telephone calls that we received from our friend were not always put through immediately.

Miscommunication
Very comfortable beds and they had an elevator so you don't have to carry your luggage all the way up. There isn't any wifi, so you can go to the Starbucks by the Metro entrance if you really need it. One manager said that he would put in an extra bed for no extra cost while another tried to charge us the normal amount for a three bed room even if we never got the third bed during our stay. Lesson learned, either stay somewhere else or book waaay in advance and call a few days before you arrive to make sure your spot is booked and the price is what you saw on whatever booking website you used. There is a city tax so factor that in too, and make sure you ask about it. English by the employees is fair.

Great location - Close to Montparnasse and Denfer
The hotel was clean and staff was very friendly. The beds were comfortable. It is very close to the RER hub of Denfer so it is an easy commute to the Notre Dame area. However, one should keep in mind that French 3 star hotel isn't really US 3 star so keep your expectation to the right level.
