Boulogne-Billancourt hotels & accommodations

The hotel is near the metro stations and bus stops. Its really clean, they clean the room everyday and change the towels. They even gave us discount for the breakfast which is not included in the room. We definitely had a great time in the hotel and its worth the price. Recommendable!

Staff/owner moved my apartment for almost 10 minutes walk away around rue de paris without announcement anything before, just left letter on the table and gave us direction by phone!! And we arrived at 10 pm with big luggage from Venezia had to walk 10 minutes away!. They did not responsible at all!!

The room AND bathroom were SPOTLESS!!! This is a rarity in European hotels. Although the elevator was quite small, i was impressed at the size of the room itself.
