Airbnb Family, DO NOT stay at this hotel. It has rodents. My family and I stayed in the hotel for our first time visiting Paris. On the last day, we awoke to the sound of rustling in the room trash can. Upon investigation, there was a rat in the room! We immediately notified the front desk, but little was done to rectify the situation.
Looking back now, I never should have stayed even one night in this hotel due to the general uncleanliness but again, it was our first time in Paris, the hotel is in a good location, and I thought finding another place on such short notice would be a hassle. Upon our arrival, there was hair from other people on the bathroom floor and in the tub, the hotel shampoo had obviously already been used and not replaced, the carpets were disgusting and the hotel continually smelled of cigarettes.
I have attempted to remedy the situation through Airbnb, but of course the host has denied the rat existed. Because I could not provide a photo of the rat (which was running around the room), there was little that could be done. The host has been difficult in this situation and unwilling to do the right thing. He has even gone as far as trying to extort me by telling me that discussions of compensation for my terrible experience could only be had after the 14 day expiration period for my Airbnb review. I have chosen to post this regardless in hopes that it helps someone else. Before you book this hotel, please go to the host’s profile. There are 21 separate listings for the Hotel La Louisiane.
