Finding a reasonably priced hotel in a convenient location in Paris can be hard, especially in summer so I was encouraged by the charms of Le General as displayed on its website. It's a good location close to Republique and has been refurbished and kitted out with funky modern decor and furnishings. Like most old Parisian hotels the rooms are... more

Hotel is nice and clean, but lacks any Parisian charm so you feel like you could be anywhere in the world. It's not located in the best part of Paris, but is close to transport. All of the staff were very friendly... They lost my luggage on my last day and gave it to someone else by mistake. After an... more

Very carefully designed, with pink/grey tones. Rooms are small but clean, bathrooms smart with a lot of attention to detail. Breakfast is served in a pleasant area, and has the funky, original touch of 'supplement' pills as self service. Yes it's slightly impersonal and the service doesnt offer any particular warmth or extra step but considering what you can find... more

Overall, I was very happy with this hotel. On the plus side, my room looked EXACTLY like the pictures and was very very clean. Other reviews I've read said the rooms were super small and that some were smoky or noisy. My room was decent sized (keep in mind I'm a New Yorker so my perspective might be different), it... more

I just returned from my trip in Paris. After reading the reviews on this hotel on this site and others I decided that for the price it could not be beat. The hotel itself was everything they promised and more. Staff was very friendly especially Sophie, who helped us daily with metros, reservations and train trips to the champagne region... more

If your easily impressed you will probably like this hotel. As other reviewers have mentioned the decor is funky etc etc but the hospitality is poor (clinical). No-one here will go out of their way to help you if need be. The room service is virtually non-existant. The front desk lady was rude and confused about our booking. If you're... more

We spent 6 days in Le General hotel and liked it very much. Location near two metro stations (one of them - Repulique - is really several stations on several lines with changes) is very convenient. Moreover, bus routes on the Republique square can be used to go to the center (Opera etc) and train stations (Gare de Lyon and... more

We were recommended by a friend to stay at Le General Hotel and were not disappointed. The hotel is located just a few metro stops from Gare du Nord, the hotel being only a short walk from La Republique metro station. This was a great location for reaching any area of Paris, including all the major tourist attractions by metro.... more

The hotel is nicely decorated. The rooms are very small. We got a non-smoking room which smelled terribly after smoke. We requested a change but all we got offered was a spray. Staff handled it not very nicely and dismissed our which for a non-smoking room, due to the fact that the travel agency didn't forwarded the request. Sometimes even... more
