This was the worst hotel we have EVER stayed at!!! The website showed gorgeous rooms. When we checked in and realized that the website photos were not the same as the hotel we questioned the staff. They stated the pictures on the website were of a different hotel they owned. The place was disgustingly dirty, the shower was downright scary,... more

Okay, it's been a few years, but I'm researching my next trip to Paris and looked back at the Saintonge experience. It's all true, shockingly TINY rooms (kudos to the photographer who made the less-than-100-square-foot room look elegant and spacious- he must have been suspended out the window!), hot and humid, but really folks. It's Paris! You get what you... more

Very small hotel on a side street. No air conditioning -- extremely small room, even by Paris standards. Front desk was not helpful. I booked a room with twin beds and got a double -- made up that way -- that the clerk said could be pulled apart and used as twins. The hotel should have done that and put... more

The apartment we had rented in the Marais had not been cleaned properly for our arrival, all of our luggage was delayed, and we needed a place to stay. We called several hotels and since the Saintonge was the closest to the apartment and the price (115euro) reasonable, we walked over and checked in. The room (top floor) was clean,... more

I recently returned from a 10-day stay at the Hotel Saintonge in the Marais district of Paris. I booked my reservation through an independent website dedicated to that specific district in the city and received very prompt, professional, and detailed correspondence from the hotel. I specifically requested a recently-renovated room on the street-side of the hotel and received exactly what... more

These people do not tell the truth - the photos on the website aren't the real deal. The place was very dirty and run down. These people no idea what it is to run a hotel. Simply don't go there - complete waste of time and money. Daylight robbery. Go around the corner to the hotel compostelle - discovered by... more

DONT BELIEVE THE PHOTOS - god knows where they took the photos but believe us, they are not the same hotel. We got there late on a Friday looking forward to a semi luxury hotel stay only to be greeted by a filthy unmade room that looked like something out of pulp fiction - its nothing like their website. We... more

We arrived before noon and were told the room wasnot ready. The lobby did not resemble what was shown on the Internet so we asked to see the room regardless of it being ready or not. The Inn keeper painfully escorted us to several of the rooms as none were as represented on the hotel website. I swear they took... more

What a pity I did not discover 'Trip advisor' earlier. If I would have know, I surely would have cancelled my reservation in hotel Saintonge. I was a bit late for having a room in my usual hotel in Paris, and the only hotel of the same price category where rooms where still vacant was the "Saintonge". Now I understand... more
