Shower had no pressure only went warm water if the sink taps were on
Disappointing
Had a terrible experience at this hotel. We arrived a bit early at 12 PM, and although the hotel wasn’t busy, the staff refused to give us our room. I understand if they’re busy, but in this case, it felt unnecessary. The worst part was during checkout — I tried to take a coffee from the machine to go, but the receptionist stopped me, insisting I return to my room to make it instead. It was humiliating and made me feel unwelcome. Overall, the staff were rude and unaccommodating. Would not recommend.
We missed our first night stay because our train from Zurich had technical problems. Although I did not get a reply from the emails I sent them to let them know of the delay, I asked that a packed breakfast be prepared for us. We were welcomed with a bag full of freshly baked delicious croissants and other pastries complete with assorted spreads, as soon as we arrived at past 11:00 am the next morning. We wanted to finish all but we were in a hurry to leave for our lunch reservation. It was a gesture that made our not-so-good-train journey a little bit brighter. Thank you to the hotel staff at the reception and at the dining area. This is our second time at Timhotel in Paris at different locations, never got disappointed at all in both. Thank you!!!
I have booked total 3 nights Apr 2, Apr 4 & 6. On the first night Apr 2, the security box was now working, shower head holder was broken.
On Apr 4, we arrived the hotel at 11pm. Rush to take a shower after a long day, water was burning since cold water was not available. Again, the security box is not working. Front desk staff came and provided another smaller room, from a 2 beds to 1 bed room. The room is unbelievable small. When everything was settled down, it's almost midnight. We've been staying in the same tiny room for 2 nights. We seriously request a refund since it's not the room we booked.
I arrived at Gare de Lyon later than scheduled and the car hire (Europcar - big thumbs down for them incidentally) had closed without waiting. Stranded overnight in the centre of Paris I was amazed to find a place for less than Eu 100/night. Timhotel was less than 5 mins from the station and the staff remained on duty all night as well as being friendly (not always the case in Paris!). It was -3 degrees that night but the room was warm as well as clean, the shower piping hot and very little discernible noise from other guests. Woke refreshed a ready to resume my journey. A great place to stay in this sort of situation.
It’s a nice little hotel, right across the street from Gare de Lyon. The elevator required two trips, with all our luggage. Breakfast was about average. I did not like the fact that there were only two AC outlets, and they were close together above the desk. We need at least four outlets spaced around the room. We have to plug in two CPAP breathing machines, plus charging all of our devices. I hope the 17 other Timhotels around Paris are more technologically up to date.
The staff were great, I got there early and they kept my bags for me while I walked around. When I got back at check-in time I got my bags and went to my room. The hallways are really small, the cleaning lady had her clean linen bags and dirty linen bags in the hallway by my door for the entire weekend so I would have to step over them each time walking through. The toilet ran so there was constant water noise.
HOWEVER, the room was clean, no bugs, nothing that seemed off, the staff were kind, I always felt safe, and it was a nice place to just end the day.

Ideal for the Gare de Lyon train station
Hotel was okay. Reception not that welcoming and room was rather small. Ideally situated for the train station.
Location is very convenient and there’s a lot of restaurants and stores to buy food and drinks. Staff are wonderful although they room cleaning is not very flexible, we ended up opting not to clean room as they couldn’t come back in the afternoon. Water is only available on the first day and only instant coffee is available in the room. The bathtub drain sucked and the tile grout needs to be redone. The bed and pillows are very comfortable but you can hear footsteps and even the train from outside.

Smallest hotel I have ever been in. Couldn’t open luggage & no where to store it. Air quality was poor due to a continuous wet carpet. After a few hours you get a blocked nose. Paint peeling from the sealing. Place is old & needs a total refurbishment. Some staff unfriendly, ie would makes us wait outside in the cold until he had finished his business.

Small hotel and fair price for what they offer. You can hear the guests upstairs flushing the toilet and walking around. If you’re a light sleeper like me, be prepared to wake up 3-5 times a night. Buffet is very limited and they had no silverware, plates, or glasses when we came downstairs. The croissants were excellent but there was no fruit, which we thought was weird. The lady at the front desk is very friendly and tried hard to communicate in English. Overall, a fair experience.
