Disappointed.
My wife and I stayed at Gofen Hotel for 3 nights while on vacation. The location was convenient near the metro station for easy access to the center of Paris. Very tight spiral staircase to rooms, difficult to navigate with any luggage. Staff would not let us check in early (which is fair enough since we arrived 1hr before check in time) but we were told to leave and come back after check in. Although there were no smoking signs, the hotel continually smelled of smoke. However, the condition of our room was the most disappointing. The images online were not reflective of our room. The floor appeared to have not been swept or mopped prior to our arrival, there was dirt and dust on the floor. The worst part of the room for us was the bathroom. It is so small that you must sit on the toilet at an angle so that you don’t hit the sink. Also, the shower appeared to never have been thoroughly cleaned, it was covered in mold/mildew to the point that my wife and I refused to stand in the shower barefoot. Lastly, shower time had to be limited as the shower did not drain well and would overflow. Overall, we will not be returning to this hotel and we would not recommend to anyone.

You should send a representative iand see lt yourselves😡 The spiral staircase is ridiculous! and dangerous!! one of the bathrooms doesn’t lock! The toilet is really close to the wall and you could get scratched on the edge😡 the light in the so called hallway above my door does not work and the other light keeps going out and it’s hard to open the door cause you can see so I have to feel and try to open the door😡 the hallway are so tiny that only one person can go through!!

Our room had bed bugs. After telling the front desk, they told us they would immediately fumigate the rooms while we were out. We returned and just put us in another room (i seriously doubt they did anything about it) After asking for a refund they categorically refused to give us one, despite the fact that it gave us emotional trauma and we had to spend money on medicine to deal with them. The service was terrible. They gave 1 towel for 2 people. There was a hole in our floor, and also dirt literally everywhere. The bedsheets were stained, so were the mattresses. The toilet seat didn't stay up so if you had to sit on the toilet it would dig into your back. The whole building stank like stale cigarette smoke despite no smoking signs everywhere. On top of everything, everyone who worked there were rude from the moment we walked in. Please don't stay here unless you love getting bed bugs and horrible service. Nice location tho.

Absolutely disgusting. BED BUGS, stolen items
Absolutely disgusting. As many people have responded before, this place looks nothing like the pictures. The stairs are dirty, falling apart and treacherous. When we arrived the guy at the desk couldn’t find our room key but wouldn’t tell us what was going on. He then decided to give us the master key for a room which he then told us “This is the mater key, whenever you want to leave you have to leave it with us because we can’t let you take it.” From there on I knew something wasn’t right. We carried our suitcases up the sketchy staircase and when we opened our room, other people’s stuff was thrown about (makes sense why he couldn’t find the key right?). We carried everything back down, he found another key to give us on an even higher floor and we finally had a room. The room was nasty. Paper thin mattress, windows that didn’t open more than an inch, a toilet lid held up by a rubber band, toilet paper stuffed in the ceiling tiles to prevent the fan from being ridiculously loud, exposed pipes everywhere, a door that didn’t latch unless it was locked and a door frame that was shattered in multiple places. We thought it was clean until the last day we were there when we found BED BUGS. Lovely. On top of all of this, my girlfriends North Face jacket when conveniently missing during our stay. We are incredibly disgusted, disappointed, and frustrated with our stay here. STEER CLEAR.

Very bad experience
It was very noisy hotel. Room was just ok. They knew I had my 7 years old child was with me, the room they gave me has opened shower with no separate walls. How can someone have shower in front of a child. I went back and spoke to the receptionist and then she changed my room with additional £40 charges. In the other room we could not sleep as there was a leakage in the toilet. Tv was not working even. Very bad service. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Terrible stay at hotel gofen
The stay was absolutely horrific. When we arrived, the checkin process was delayed by 25 minutes so we ended up checking in around 2.30pm. That was annoying itself. We were told that the room we booked did not include a toilet so we had an additional fee added onto our total bill (which was not clearly explained on the website). When we went to our room i thought we were going to be poisoned. The smell was toxic - we initially put it down to the bleach. When we arrived later, the smell was still there. It smelt like a dead rat, faeces, urine and a dead body mixed together with urine. I do not understand how something is so horrific. No beach or cleaning fluid could eradicate the smell. When we requested a room change the next morning they were hesitant and dismissive and did not believe us. After 45 minutes of debating we got another room which also smelt terrible. My girlfriend and i decided to leave the hotel that night as we refused to stay in something that miserable. Sleeping in a dustbin would have been better (no exaggeration). They have promised me a refund so i am waiting for the refund - if i hear nothing i will contact hotels.uk to claim my refund rightfully. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

This property wasn't entirely bad, for the price we paid; however, my friend and I were unimpressed. Note that there is no storage room for your luggage when you drop off before check-in, only a secluded corner on the first floor. I didn't feel like it was entirely secure, but I have a lock on my luggage, so it was fine. Also note that there is no elevator, so you have to carry your bags up a narrow, spiral staircase. We were on the first floor, so it wasn't terrible, but I feel bad for those who were on the floors above and over-pack. If you're looking for a basic, economy room, and don't mind minor inconveniences, this could be the place for you. Our first impression of this place wasn't great, but we kind of got used to it after a couple of days.

I arrived at Hotel Gofen on 30/11/18 with my partner at around midday, as we were only visiting Paris for 4 days. We didn't explore the room when checking in, instead we went to see the sights. When we arrived back at our room that evening around 22:00, we discovered the absolute horrendous state the bathroom was in. I honestly don't they had cleaned that bathroom in about 10 years, and this is evident in the pictures attached to this review. The receptionist couldn't speak any English and my partner and I couldn't speak French therefore when we tried to explain the issue with the bathroom to the receptionist she couldn't understand what I was saying therefore I called Expedia. Expedia have been so supportive of the situation, they took it upon themselves to contact the hotel themselves, placed my partner and I in a different much better hotel, Hotel Gare De Nord, which is absolutely brilliant. The woman on the reception at the Hotel Gofen was extremely rude, tried convincing me that the hotel "is no five star, it is a 1 star", i showed her evidence that on Expedia it is rated a 2.5/5.0, She called me a liar. She refused for me to speak to the manager. When I booked this hotel, I will be honest I was not expecting much, I did look at the reviews and thought, this holiday to Paris for my partner and I was meant to be a budget holiday so I hoped it could have been tolerable, but when I arrived it was a completely different story.

This hotel was nothing like the pictures and reviews suggest. It is approx. 30 mins outside of central Paris with little amenities around. The concierge did not speak a word of English. When we used a translation app, he was still not helpful and did not give us change when we overpaid for the room tax. It was about 3-4 euros, we gave him a 5 euro bill, and he said we could come back later for the change, only to never receive it. The hotel was supposedly non-smoking, but the hallways smelled of cigarette smoke and the rooms were equipped with ashtrays. The icing on the cake was that the toilet seat was missing from our toilet. Yup, there was a lid and a bowl, but no seat. The pictures and reviews listed are completely inaccurate and I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.
