Val de Bussy hotel rooms a the Independent

"47 year old traveler from USA: I rented the king bed single room and a room with a twin bed. King bed room: The shower (Frosted glass in the middle, clear on top and bottom) is in the same room as the bed. The toilet is in a separate room, but still within close quarters. So if you expect to have privacy to shower with those you don't want to see you naked, reconsider. The bed was firm and the TV allowed me to sign in to my Netflix account, which I've found is rare in Europe. Twin bed room: Our 20 year old daughter stayed in this room, and it was perfect for her. Separate bathroom with toilet and shower combined, not separate. All the rest was the same as the King bed room. We didn't use or see the pool, since we only stayed 2 nights, 1 full day. All other items listed and pictured are depict what you'll get. You can see the Eiffel Tower from both rooms. You use your hotel key to turn the lights on. The area of Saint Denis is less than desirable to be honest. I wouldn't walk around alone at night, and stay aware during the day. We tried to find somewhere to eat at 8 pm amd everything within walking distance was closed. There are metro stations within walking distance, which is how we got around. We did not have a car, so I cant review parking. I would stay here again for the price, as it was less than other places. However you trade off the location and availability of places to eat after 6 pm."

"I liked everything except the check in process. Even though the people at the front were very helpful and mostly did everything why can't they just do it all instead of tired travelers fumbling through this process. The food and drinks were great, clean rooms and hotel. I would stay here again."

"The room was small and hot"

"The fire alarm went off at midnight and it was a false alarm. It definitely put a damper on things."

"Loved the friendly staff, and fun decor!"

"I was told by one employee that breakfast was included and a different employee charged me during my check out for said breakfast so I’m not sure what to make of that. Besides that everything was great."

"It has a great view"

"Clean, nice location . Friendly staff"

"Great location for Gare de Lyon. Lovely walk along the river to Notre Dame. Comfortable, efficient, good breakfast. Great place to stay on a stopover"
