Le Figuier

So my wife and I came for one night for the Olympic opening ceremony 2024. All hotels had inflated their prices so I since it was one night I wasn't too concerned with the hotel. Just a safe place to sleep and be comfortable. We'd only sleep there and be gone. I had read other reviews, small room was expected. But it was clean, clean small bathroom. Air conditioner worked great. Window could be opened for air as well. One concern for people is the hot water is way beyond hot. The faucet mixes the hot and cold, but if you were to hit the handle to hot by mistake you could scald yourself. Woman was very nice and helpful, we had breakfast which was a typical la petit dejeuner, simple. The access to the rooms is through an external locked door on the street The key to our room 102 was well worn and somewhat difficult to use. We had a comfortable quiet night sleep, bed was comfortable. Pillows long narrow a bit firm but did worked well for us. Stairs to rooms is very well worn wood. Location is right at the last stop of the subway 7 line about 1 K walk I'd say. You walk right by and under the garage line as well very close to hotel. There were lots of places to eat within 1/2 K in either direction. TV had only a few stations that came in clear many channels had blurred pictures. Not a place to impress or enjoy the hotel just a place to sleep. I believe this is a small family run hotel.

The women who work there were absolutely wonderful and kind. They even told me to contact them if I had any hiccups with the train. For anyone who books here there are limited hours for check in but there is a number you can call and they will arrive quickly. Make sure you have you cell data sorted out so you can call them. (You can get WhatsApp to reach them as well). When booking, if you are a light sleeper request a room off the street. It’s an urban area with street traffic and people coming and going in the neighborhood. There is no AC in the rooms so don’t recommend a summer stay. They will give you a good fan, but to be effective you need to leave the window open for the fresh air. No hair dryer in the room…they keep them at the desk to avoid theft. Just ask. For a budget motel this place works fine. Bed is comfy, hot water for showers, very clean and maintained. Very close to the “C” line and busses.
