Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp

This place has no AC, I’m sure that 9 months out of the year this might not be a problem , but during the Summer months, it’s nearly uninhabitable in their rooms. When we first checked in and realized there was no AC, we panicked and called the reception desk, they confirmed there was no AC. I asked if we could cancel and I was willing to pay 50% of our entire stay as a cancellation fee, and leave right there and then. They said no refunds would be possible. The coolest day that week was 93 degrees. We had a great time in Paris, but never a relief in sight after long days, only a hot, hot room waiting for us. We took cold showers before bed and the women would leave their hair wet to make the night bearable. I probably would have given this property 5 stars if they had AC. How can any hotel that has hot Summers not have this? This should be a requirement before websites like Expedia even show their listing. Lesson learned , I will Always look at amenities more closely just to be sure, no longer will I assume.

We were only staying in Paris for a night and if that is your plan then this hotel will be fine. Overall, the beds were comfortable (albeit slightly too soft for our liking) and we slept well. The triple room we were given was more like a double which they had squeezed a third bed into, so I would book two rooms if there is three of you. Apart from that, no other issues - central-ish location for Montmartre (about a 10/15 minute walk to main Montmartre), and very close to the Metro and Gare du Nord station so a good spot to visit other part of the city / region if you want to stay here for longer.
