before we went to paris we booked our hotel then read reviews which we were a bit worried about, although we needent have bothered. the hotel is a few minutes walk from the metro station which will take you to the champs elyssee in 10 to 15 minutes. if you are going out at night the metro stops at 12a.m and starts again at 5a.m. instead of waiting around we got a taxi for a... more

The hotel is some distance away from central Paris. It is located on the main road and not a by lane, close to the Larissa train station as well as the tram station which is right across the hotel. It takes around half an hour to 45 minutes to get to the centre. The area was quite safe but gets a little deserted since the hotel is situated in the suburbs and not in the... more

I have stayed in many hotels all over Europe, and this one was pretty bad. I don't care about a small elevator, or even a small room. I do care, however, about cleanliness. This hotel was not clean. The closet smelled so musty that we could not even open it, let alone hang our clothes in it. The bed linens didn't look clean and I don't think they've bought new blankets in a very long... more

My friend and I went on a backpacking trip and decided to stay at the Hotel Clarisse. The staff was very helpful and when we arrived early for check in, they allowed us to store our backpacks in a little while we went around the city. They also helped us with our french which was terrible! We booked a room with two beds but when we arrived they only had a room with one big... more

This is a small hotel with decent staff and good location (right next to tram station- Brancion). The amenities are very basic though- small rooms, tiny lift, sparse breakfast and a restaurant which is shut for winter! All this may still have been acceptable were it not for the extremely rude manager/ proprietor. We had booked a Eurostar holiday (train + hotel) with Hotel Clarisse. We have 2 kids- one 5 yr old and one... more

Date: october 2008 Reviwer: Mom and dad travelling with infant The Hotel Clarisse is situated off the beaten tourist track in the south part of Montparnasse. This is not a disadvantage if you know how to use the Metro, bus or tram, since it is a matter of 10-15 minutes. This trip to Paris was our first and our first ever with an infant. No problem! The Hotel is a discount hotel and the rooms... more

I just finished staying at several budget hotels during a 10-day trip to France and Spain with my students, and Hotel Clarisse was the only bad hotel. The attitude of the male receptionist was rude and insulting. When I asked for a drink one evening, he responded "Je ne suis pas un barman." When I explained that the night before the woman receptionist had served me, he said, "Elle ne travaille pas ce soir. C'est... more

We stayed at the hotel Clarisse over the New Year 2007/08. Two adults and three teenagers. Desk staff are friendly and cooperative. That's the good part. Rooms are very, very small. We booked a double and a triple. On arrival we were given two rooms on separate floors - not good for a family. One was a double and the other was a double with an extra bed squeezed in - and I mean squeezed.... more

The hotel is at a great location which possibly is the greatest advantage. It is in front of the tram station and a short walk from the metro station. Rooms are tidy and well heated but very small, alright if you do not plan to spend too much time in the room. Daily cleaning of the room is OK. The flipside of this hotel is however the very impersonal and often rude behavior by the... more
