Hotel Brady – Gare de l’Est

Great wee Oasis Booked this for a wee trip away. Area of the hotel doesn't look the best with a lot of people just mingling about. However it's a wee oasis. Staff were excellent buffet breakfast also excellent. 2 metro stations very close by and a main station just up the road. So excellent for getting into the heart of Paris. To visit all the attractions. 100s of pubs, shops, restaurants cafés all nearby. When I return to Paris I would seriously think of booking here again. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hotel Brady There are cockroaches in the hotel (rooms). The cleaning service of the bathrooms need some more attention. The bed was fine and the personal was friendly.

Wonderful experience Hotel Brady was a wonderful choice for my five-night stay in Paris. Everything about the hotel was excellent, but the staff are truly exceptional! Everyone I spoke to was warm and kind, and seemed dedicated to making my stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Special thanks to the young woman who worked evenings who helped me with an issue with the wifi in my room so I could video call back home! I highly recommend Hotel Brady for anyone staying in Paris. The hotel is located directly between two Metro stops that can get you anywhere in the city, as well as in a diverse and lively neighborhood with so many delicious dining options nearby. The breakfast options each morning were very good, serving many different tastes and dietary needs, and it is free if you book through the hotel's website directly. My room was comfortable and cozy, and the bed was absolutely wonderful--I slept so well! The surrounding neighborhood is lively and the courtyard can echo, so consider bringing earplugs or white noise for sleeping. All in all, I can't wait to come back to visit Hotel Brady next time I am in Paris!

Not what we expected When we arrived at this hotel we were a bit disappointed as the place did not look as nice as it had in photos online. We were in room 1 I believe which was on the ground floor, down an outdoor passage at the bottom of some stairs. As it was rainy weather we had to walk from the hotel lobby, through a wet passage, to our room, where we had little room to dry off. Another downside to our room was that we had no windows at all, other than the door to the room which just opened into the passage. This was a shame as the photos online made it appear as if we might get a decent view out the window even if it was only of surrounding rooftops. A few times throughout our stay the look on our door wouldn’t work, meaning we would be stood in the rainy passage getting wet whilst trying to unlock the door. It was also hard to lock sometimes when it had been unlocked, which caused concerns over the security of our belongings inside the room. The staff offered to help fix this which was kind but we weren’t offered with another room. Our bed was comfy and our shower was really nice, in a spacious bathroom. The breakfast on offer was minimal but it was tasty. The hotel is near a couple of metro stations so it is easy to navigate around the city, but unfortunately the area the hotel is located in didn’t feel the safest.

A perfect base and good value. Clean, friendly staff. We wanted to stay in this area, but the main attractions are also walkable if your active!
