Review of Hotel Saint James Albany

Nice location steps from Vendome and Louvre, though to get to hotel you have to walk through cheap souvenir stores and homeless people. Seems like the last renovation and cleaning in this hotel happened when Haussmann was still alive. Rooms are filthy: very unmaintained, dirty carpet, broken tiles on the floor, door in the shower was not closing properly, so there was always flood around, shower had mold on the shower handle. Staff is completely unable to answer any question. It tool them more than an hour to bring toothbrushes to the room. The original room had almost no windows. Had to change rooms: one was smelling like a public toilet, another like an ashtray. We were very tempted by the photos, kind of it was imaginable it is not a fancy design perfect hotel, but the reality is that anything about this hotel is acceptable. For almost 300$ per night for superior room this is a torture and waste of money.
