Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff are good, they speak enough English to get by and fill any requests we had (hairdryer and clothes iron, both of which aren't supplied in the room. The iron is only available on the 6th floor), but the general friendliness is so-so.
The location is good being about 10 easy minutes to 2 different metro stations so you can easily navigate around.
The room was more a kids shoebox vs a normal shoebox. You would struggle for two people to get changed at once. The sink didn't have the plug part so if anything was to fall into it it'd go straight down the drain. The shower door didn't fully close, it would stop at about 100mm from shutting (room 407), and there's mould on the silicone in the shower.
Breakfast is good, you get baguette, croissants, pain aux raisins, pain au chocolat, toast, crepes, coffee/hot chocolate/tea etc, cheese, ham, apples etc. it was quite satisfying and stocked regularly.
Overall I'm not overly satisfied with my stay at Belambra City Hôtel Magendie, if the room matched the pictures in the email and the bathroom issues fixed then the rating would be higher.
