Le General Hotel
5/7 Rue Rampon
Paris, France
Neighborhood: 11th Arr. (Opéra Bastille)
Style: Modern Design
Atmosphere: Lively
47 Rooms
Text size:
It’s not just the design, by the Parisian architect Jean-Philippe Nuel, that’s turning heads — this stylish little boutique is garnering notices for its budget-friendly price tag as well. After all, it’s not every day that a new contemporary design hotel sets up shop on these staid old streets, and when one does, it’s most often priced high enough that you’d be better off hiring the architect to do up one of your rooms at home, and just staying there.
Le Général is a three-star hotel, whatever that means anymore — surely if you can’t find something to have for dinner in Paris, you don’t really deserve to eat. Anyway it’s not over-the-top luxurious, just smart, full of modern touches like counter-top basins and Philippe Starck furniture against a sedate background of neutrals and rich woods, all set off with splashes of color — floral arrangements, the odd pink wall, and details like rubber ducks in your bathroom and green apples on your pillows. At these rates satellite television and wireless internet are expected; the fitness center and the sauna are a bit above and beyond. The breakfast room, with that floral-print wallpaper, turns into a cocktail bar in the evening, and serves a hot chocolate of near-legendary status.
Kids:
Guests over the age of 12 are considered adults. Some rooms accommodate 3 or more. The "SUITE" room sleeps up to 2 guests. For crib/cot, must book "DOUBLE" room or larger. For 2 adults + rollaway bed, must book "PRIVILEGE" or larger. For 2 adults + 2 kids beyond crib age, must book "SUITE" room or larger.

Babysitting services provided by screened outside help at €15 per hour. The restaurant is kid-friendly with high chairs.

The location was good, five minutes from the Marais. The hotelroom was small but very nice and clean. If you book a smokers room you get a room with a balcony :-)
What the hotel could do better
The check-in procedure was a little weird. We arrived late night, really tired, but had to fill out this long form before we could get our room. And when we checked out, we filled out the exact same form once again. I think the staff could be more considerate at that point. When guests arrive late, they propably don't wanna fill out a form with questions such as occupancy etc. Leave it in the room instead.

Great non-touristy location-- surrounded by reasonably priced restaurants and bars. Only 1 bock from the subway. Hotel was also a good value for Paris.

The hotel was very simple with relaxed
What the hotel could do better
Was very tatty around the edges, cigarette burns in the bead cover and furniture in the room and breakfast room. Sunday breakfast chaotic as only one member of staff, ran out of every thing and the coffee was undrinkable.

The room was quite pleasant and tasteful, especially the bathroom. Although, the neighborhood is not exactly posh, the proximity to the charming street scenes of Le Marais was outstanding. The reception area was very comfortable and hip as well. The room was tiny, but we had been forewarned and it wasn't an issue.
What the hotel could do better
We were there for 4 nights and at no time was there more than a single person available to address clients at the front desk. All of the staff members were uniformly friendly and helpful, but I found myself feeling badly for them when they had multiple parties vying for their attention. Again, they all handled the workload professionally but it seemed unfair to the staff and the patronage to be so understaffed.

Good value for Paris (which isn't saying a lot!). Interesting location - a bit out of the main drag but close to several Metro stops and still a reasonable walking distance to the main touristy things. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby.
What the hotel could do better
We had both a double room and a room for 2 adults and 2 kids (a 'suite') - whilst the double room was a fabulous size with a street view, great bathroom and little balcony, the 'suite' was only just capable of fitting the four of us in.
The modern decor with a punch of pink at a reasonable price was one of the biggest attractions, but disappointingly the maintenance is a bit wanting - so expect paint chips, scratchs and just generally things looking a little tired.

I Liked
The staff was friendly and helpful. The lounge/bar area was pleasant and fun. Very easy access to metro, just a 5 minute walk away. There were also many cafes, and shops in the area-- everything you could need was within walking distance. The room was clean and stylishly minimal, the bathroom was very modern with great water pressure.
What the hotel could do better
The bed could have been more comfortable, it was extremely basic. It was fine for me, but for someone that has a bad back-- good luck.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
