Stay Well Clear of this Hotel !
Posted 6 Mar 2020 on HotelsA Horrific Experience at Best !
Firstly this Hotel is pending refurbishment.
The refurbishment is meant to commence on July 6th 2020 - October 31 2020.
Unfortunately they have decided to punish all clientele by forcing them to stay on the premise and pay full price for a dilapidated Hotel that is in dire need of an upgrade !
So lets begin:
The Hotel is very empty. There are no events or a lot of clients. Upon arriving we were met with a parking attendant who told us that its 25 euros per day parking fee should you wish to park your car on the premises (no problem we parked further up the road and walked to the hotel - (took that one on the chin).
We arrive and are given a room facing a back alley even though all rooms are empty and as a previous client of Barrière I would have appreciated an upgrade to at least a Lake facing room seeing as I was with my heavily pregnant wife.
Came down to complain was told I had to pay 30 Euros for a Lake view room and that there was no chance for an upgrade. Due to my wife's condition and the fact that we were only staying one night I ended up upgrading to Lake view for 30 Euros.
Note: You are also given one voucher each when checking into any room here for the spa. Just one problem its only good for each person for one day. We found this out when we decided to go for one last swim after breakfast the following morning and were instructed to pay 31 euros each if we wanted to jump in the pool again.

I didn't like the fact that they donot have a business center like most hotels of this class do. You are bound to conduct business on you cell phone without the possibility of printing etc...
Also, there was a stench in the elevators .. smelled like sewage

Le Fawlty Towers
Posted 22 Jun 2019 on HotelsService was akin to a French Fawlty Towers. I arrived at 4 and asked for an iron. Asked again at 6 as I went out for a walk asked again at 8 and was told there are no more irons. I was there for business and needed to run over 3 shirts for the week. This left a bit of sour taste in the mouth. Location is great and the hotel is fine for a few nights stay if a little dated and basic inside the rooms. Location is great so didn't eat inside the hotel, they only have a basic set menu and the drink prices were extortianate. Lots to see and do in the town and close to Paris city centre.
