Our stay at Timhรดtel โ Invalides was a major disappointment. The hotel is in extremely poor condition, and despite its high rates, it doesnโt come close to meeting even basic standards. I wouldnโt pay $50 for this level of accommodationโlet alone the premium prices they charge.
While the reception area appears recently renovated, this is where the improvements end. The moment you step into the elevator and see the outdated red rug walls, the true state of the hotel becomes clear. We were a family of three staying in the 64Club room on the 6th floor, and it was an absolute disaster:
1- The pullout sofa was so old and misshapen it was unusable.
2- The bathroom ceiling had rust stains and what appeared to be asbestos.
3- There was dust and debris everywhere, including a thick layer on the popcorn ceiling.
4- The carpet was filthy and clearly hadnโt been cleaned in some time.
5- The final straw was when a large spider crawled across our bed.
We requested a room change, but the front desk staff said no alternatives were available. With no other option, we were forced to leave around 11 p.m. and spend two stressful hours trying to find alternative accommodation nearby.
The only positive aspect is the location, which is central and convenient. However, that alone does not make up for the extremely poor condition of the hotel and the lack of basic hygiene and comfort. I strongly advise others to avoid this hotel.
