breakfast (with drilling workers) included

Liked: The rooms are nicely decorated and the hotel is well located. I met a staff member who was very friendly and helpful. Thank you T. (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Disliked: Granted, it could have been perfect. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and it seems that the entire house is set up with style and considered with some intelligent tech. features in the rooms. Currently, the house is quite easy to find as two huge construction containers have been deposited right in front of it. Not coincidentally, because renovation work is indeed underway at Maison Elle Amsterdam. The workers start early in the morning and march through the breakfast room as it would have been the most natural thing in the world. Drilling, hammering, and screwing occur unabashedly, as if on a construction site. These works take place just a few meters from the guests who have their breakfast between 8 and 11. The workers behave unashamedly. They talk loudly, whistle, or argue.I'm not sure if this would happen at Maison Elle Paris. Suspending the works until at least after breakfast time was apparently not an option. A simple Paravent or at least a curtain so that guests don't visually notice the works would have been too much either. The absolute minimum would have been a small, discreet sign apologizing for the circumstances. All this has very little to do with le très chic... French art de vivre.Moving on to the next point. The television, which is included in the offer. Unfortunately, it is not connected to any cable or provider. For those who don't bring their own streaming subscription on their phone, it will remain a black screen. Boutique hotel lifestyle ... or simply cost-saving? Some of the staff members seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, totally clumsy and not organized. This house deserves a better management. Now, the question is, will I find something better for a hefty 300 euros per night (breakfast with drilling workers included)? Think so. I will definitely do my best.

City view promised, but basement...

Liked: The hotel has a good location and a boutique ambiance.
Disliked: Unfortunately, there was a notable disconnect between the accommodation described during booking and the actual room provided. Despite booking a "city view" room, we were assigned a basement room with windows positioned above head level, offering a view of the asphalt instead of the city skyline as advertised.Upon arrival, it became apparent that the room did not align with the description provided on booking.com. We found ourselves in a basement room with views of parked bikes and ongoing renovation works outside our dusty, unclean windows. Despite our concerns, the reception staff were unable to resolve the issue on the spot and directed us to email management. After contacting management, we were relocated to a room on the first floor the following day.In the new room, the TV only supports chromecast from personal devices. Additionally, the breakfast, albeit served in a 4-star hotel, was disappointingly limited and repetitive each day. Furthermore, the grout lines of the floor tiles in the walk-in shower appeared yellowish and unclean, indicating inadequate cleanliness. It's also worth noting that the hotel is currently undergoing renovations.Considering these factors, the nightly rate of 350 EUR did not seem justified.

Superb Location and Outstanding Accomodation

Liked: Location is superb and classic design and cozy. Staff was very friendly and very helpful. Nice breakfast, moderate facility, however it was sufficient. Nearest to public transport and safe environment.

Exceptional

Never again. Much better places...

Liked: There was no positives to this hotel.
Disliked: Massively over priced. Pretends to be an upmarket chic hotel but lacks any real quality. We were placed in the basement. Rooms are basic tiny wardrobe depressing and dark.

Great local, cute building, pleasant...

Liked: Location & preserved boutique interior. Pleasant staff, cute lounge with easy breakfast if it fancies you.
Disliked: During our 4 night stay, 2 separate issues arose, that, for the most part were of staff's control. 1 was a faulty AC unit on our arrival. Our room was top floor and trapped a lot of heat. Notified the front desk and it was brushed off as a sustainability matter and insisted we just had to let it work. No follow up. In the evening when it was nearly bedtime, staff acknowledged there was an issue but by that point it was too late for a repair. We slept with windows open which let in a few wasps, street noise. Our third night, the toilet would not stop running. The whole night. It was too late in the evening for anything to be done about it, so we just had to deal. The next morning, there was no follow up from staff. It just stopped running.
