My husband and I recently had an 11-day stay at GHM. On the negative side, there were some problems in the room. It was missing a dresser, or even a set of shelves to unpack clothing and a ridiculously small closet that had a mini-fridge inside, and one shelf. We had to live out of our suitcases for the entire stay. The bed’s vinyl headboard was peeling and had visible fingernail marks, sections of wall had paint scraped away, and there was no operable telephone in the room or the hall. What if there was an emergency, we were on the 6th floor, and couldn’t call reception? Also, there were no washcloths and no towel bar in the separate toilette/sink. The sink in the toilette was laughably small, perhaps 6 x 9 in. Despite promises, the telephone never worked. One receptionist, annoyed by our repair reminders, told us that our room was their biggest and best - yet they didn't feel there was room for drawers or shelving. After 9 days, a worker replaced the disgusting headboard, cheerfully saying all the others had already been replaced, all except ours. On the positive side, GHM is in a great location in The Marais, and only a short walk to Metro St. Paul, the Seine, MEP and other cultural locations. The lobby is modern, the hotel is kept clean, the room was large by Paris standards with good light, a modern bathroom, and the queen bed was comfortable. Generally the staff was pleasant. Other than the location, I’m surprised it gets 3 stars.
