This hotel was recently purchased. I stay at the Hotel Gabriel every time I go to Paris. It was quaint, great staff, really nice rooms with balconies, good price, great breakfast and a wine bar. The new owners, New Hotel Republique have ruined it. The staff is not friendly OR helpful and my room (a premium room) was dark face a wall and I had to go across the street for breakfast at the sister hotel. DO NOT STAY THERE!

Unfortunately, our stay was extremely disappointing and not at all what I would expect from a 4-star hotel in Paris. The biggest issue was that the air conditioning did not work during our stay, despite the outside temperature being around 35°C. When we raised the issue with the hotel, the response from management was simply that “the AC is broken” and that they did not know when it would be fixed. That is not an acceptable response for a hotel of this category, especially during a heatwave. Instead of offering a proper solution, they provided a tiny, dirty fan, which made very little difference. To make matters worse, my wife is pregnant, and the staff showed no real concern or willingness to help make the situation more comfortable for her. When I asked about compensation, I was told that nothing would be offered and that it was not their issue that the AC was not working. I found this response completely unacceptable and very disappointing from a hospitality perspective. The elevator also appeared poorly maintained, to the point where we tried to avoid using it whenever possible. Overall, the experience was awful. The lack of air conditioning, poor handling by management, lack of empathy, and general maintenance concerns made this a stay I would not repeat. I would not return to this hotel, and I would not recommend it to others.

The location was great. Breakfast was fresh and high quality. However the hotel is old and rooms are small.

Update #2 (May 24,2026) The WORST HOTEL EVER. Thank god I have everything documented and recorded. The AC is not working. There is a current heat wave. The room smells bad because the carpets are not clean. Room full of spiders. I complained, shared frustrated, spoke with three front desk concierge people. They offered a fan but it is HOT AS IF YOU ARE IN A CLOSET WITH NO AIR Ventilation . We got goodies like cheese and butter, and guess what, the fridge is not working. I escalated this to a lawyer and some journalists/writers who work at Condé nast so they can spread the word about the new management that doesn’t respect guests. They care about money more than quality. It seems this new management has no idea how to run hospitality system. Already notified the bank to block this hotel so I can get my money back for the sleepless nights. We were dripping in sweat. I took videos and photos, and will share everywhere (reddit, TikTok, FB, and IG) And if they take this review down, I will file a big lawsuit. (UPDATE MAY 2026 - May 20) 1. AC IS NOT WORKING - according to the night desk concierge, the company has disabled the AC systems across the building. 2. INTERNET/WIFI IS NOT 3. Safety cameras in the building are not working because there has been no working wifi/internet. It is not safe to stay here. The hotel got acquired by a new company and it seems there is a downgrade in the service. I am going to talk with Expedia now to find a way to get my money back. very dece

We arrived to find our room was tiny. Requested better room which we got. Very slightly larger. Reception did not explain where we would find breakfast, discovered it was over the road two days later. WiFi was also not available until queried with reception. No information pack in the room. Overall not a 4* Hôtel also not new. Dissapointing!

Good

Great.

Classic quirky Paris hotel. Very clean; good location and helpful staff. Spoiled by some minor but irritating defects and poor lighting.

Room was clean, check in was fast and friendly and the airport transfer was very handy to have for my early morning flight.

Unfortunately our superior room’s bathroom do not have a shower door and so anytime we wanted to take a shower, the floor outside would flood. Also the plugs in the washroom did not work either. Would call this a 3 star rather than 4 star hotel
