I had a fine stay at Hôtel Petit Lafayette recently. The location couldn’t be better with easy access to great restaurants, bars, and transportation. It’s also a relatively short walk to Gard Du Nord for the RER to CDG airport. Staff — ranging from the front desk to housekeeping — were quite friendly and welcoming and my check-in was handled efficiently. The room itself was a bit tighter than I feel the photos indicate. I think I would have struggled staying there with a partner given the layout and lack of space to stage luggage, but everything was clean and tidy and the split toilet room and shower/sink could theoretically be seen as a positive feature. My room faced a light well so while there wasn’t much light and air, the robust air conditioning more than made up for that. The one knock I have is that — like some other reviews noted — I found there to be a pervasive vaguely sewage/cleaning product smell during my stay. I couldn’t quite point to the source but I eventually stopped noticing it. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to return.
