My stay at Color Design Hotel was a mixed experience. The hotel's vibrant neighborhood made exploring Paris a joy, though I found the room in need of some updates. The staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated, but there were a few maintenance issues that could use attention, particularly in the bathroom. Overall, it was an affordable option in a great location, just not as polished as I had hoped.

While my room was clean and well-furnished, I noticed several bathroom tiles were broken. and the shower glass screen was too short, leading to a wet floor after I showered. Overall, it felt like the room needed some modern touches.

My stay at the Color Design Hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff were super friendly, and the location near the metro made getting around Paris a breeze, the room left a bit to be desired. It was smaller than expected, lacking some basic comforts like a kettle, and the breakfast was quite limited. Overall, it was okay for a budget option, but I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

The room was smaller than the photos suggested, and while it was clean, it felt quite basic without additional comforts. The mattress was comfy, which helped with a good night’s sleep. The bathroom had some design flaws, like not having a full shower screen, making it tricky to shower without flooding the floor.

The hotel is situated in a lively neighborhood, which I appreciated. It’s not right in the heart of the tourist areas, but metro lines nearby made it easy to get around. It was a bit further from central Paris than I’d prefer, but overall, I found the accessibility pretty solid.

I decided to have breakfast at the hotel, expecting a nice spread, but it was quite disappointing with limited choices and no fresh fruit. In hindsight, hitting up a local bakery would’ve been a much better option.
