Staying at Normandy Le Chantier was a mix of good charm and some noticeable challenges. The location was fantastic, providing easy access to attractions like the Louvre, yet the ongoing renovations caused some inconvenience. My room was spacious and well-furnished, but it had its quirks, including a bathroom that required some maintenance. Overall, it had character but not without a few hiccups. 😊

My stay at Normandy Le Chantier had its ups and downs. The location was absolutely fantastic, just steps away from the Louvre, allowing me to explore the heart of Paris effortlessly. However, the room could use some serious upgrades – it lacked air conditioning and felt more like a sauna than a relaxing space in the summer heat. The staff were friendly but the outdated facilities, especially the ongoing construction, detracted from my overall experience.

While the room was clean and had a bit of old-world charm, it lacked basic comfort features like air conditioning. This made my stay uncomfortable during hotter days, and I struggled with noise from the street.

The hotel had basic amenities, but the ongoing construction made navigating the premises challenging and uninviting at times. Additionally, the absence of a bar and only one lift contributed to a less convenient experience.

Staying at Normandy Le Chantier was quite an experience. The location is amazing, right across from the Louvre, which made exploring the city a breeze. However, the ongoing renovations were noticeable, and my lack of A/C turned my stay a bit uncomfortable. Still, the charm of the old furniture and spacious room made up for it somewhat.

My twin standard room was impressively spacious for Paris. it had charming old furniture, a large bathroom, and everything was spotlessly clean. Despite some peeling paint and an outdated hairdryer, the comfort level was high, although I did find no cold water in the tap a bit inconvenient.

But on the other hand, my room was quite outdated, with issues like a broken fridge and a poorly maintained bathroom. The staff were generally friendly, but I encountered some service hiccups during breakfast. Overall, it was a decent stay but could be much improved. 😕✨
