Liked: I liked the room, we had a private double and it was pretty big. The location is also good, easy available by metro and the sights in a walkable distance.

Disliked: The toilets are.., you dont feel comfortable. Then we lived in the fifth floor, that was anoying. Moreover the wifi didnt work in our floor we alsways had to get down. Theres no kitchen or real common place, its all a little bit dirty and there is no real friendly atmosphere.the beds were not really comfortable and unclean and there is a certain smell in the rooms. and yes i refused to use the showers, we were only staying 2 nights. but for its price its ok. i think you won find anything better in paris if you dont want to pay the double.

Liked: nothing

Disliked: when booked at Hostelbookers then the check out time was mentioned 12.00 pm. but when entered in the hotel then everywhere they put sign that the check out time is 10 am . But it can be up to 11am on request. The wifi signal was very very poor . you have to keep your door open to get the signal . The guy in the reception was not that helpful , also acted as he did big favour to you as you came to stay in his hotel .

Liked: Only good thong was that it was very close to a metro station.

Disliked: The shower was very dirty. The ceiling above the shower had mold and it looked like it would fall down any minute. It was very hot in the room the was a door that led outside but it was to a 8X10 courtyard with high walls so no airflow. The same court yard had two other rooms doors and my room door bad no lock.

Liked: I liked the staff as they were friendly and spoke good english, they had a luggage room where we were allowed to put our bags before we checked in and it was close to a metro station.

Disliked: The rooms were small and baisic, the window did not shut properly, there was a shower curtain hanging in place of a normal curtain, the toilets were tiny, the shower room wasnt clean, the walls were very thin so you could hear anyone that passed you room, the shower was right next to our room so whenever anyone took a shower we could hear every drop which kept us awake because people were taking showers at midnight and you have to pay a little bit extra for sheets and towels.

Liked: Everything was very clean and the location is great. It is near Voltaire metro station and on walking distance to Pere Lachaise.

Disliked: They didn't give me clean bed sheets. There were bed bugs in them: I have more than 150 bites. I told them about it but they didn't do anything. They just put the sheets back in the closet to give to someone else.

Liked: Relatively good location

Disliked: Well a lot. When we first went in the room, we felt it looked like a big toilet (and actually we finally found out that on the wall it said something about "toilet".. it's really transfered from a big toilet?)! As other travelers said, the room was stinky! And the worst thing is that we can (everyone can actually) hear anything around us in our room. Everything! Sooooooooo noisy and can hardly sleep. The toilet is right beside the stairs. How weird. After all, we don't recommend this Hotel Richard to you. We lived in a double room for 48 euro. Not worth it.

Liked: I cannot think if anything that I liked about this property

Disliked: The hotel is rundown and disgusting. It's in a bad part of the city and I did not feel safe AT ALL. I didn't even want to go to sleep there. I only ended up staying for one of the two nights that I booked. It was expensive and not worth the price. When I went back to the hotel after exploring the area, the man that spoke English had left and the women was yelling at me in French and instead of handing me my paperwork she threw it at me. She was very disrespectful and rude. I wouldn't even recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.
