Paris Hotels

Advantages: central location
Disadvantages: lots

...stay 21St June 2003 Holiday Inn Republic, Paris, France This is a big hotel near the centre of Paris, the website makes it look great, the façade and location are impressive, its got 4 stars, and loads of facilities BUT don’t go there unless you get a deal for £100 or less for two per night. The rack rate is an incredible 350 Euro’s. Why is the hotel rubbish? 1 The rooms haven’t been refurbished since, 1985 ish 2 The bar (says on the website ...
...of the other 20 odd Holiday Inn full service hotels I’ve stayed in, how it manages 4 stars is beyond me. In fact the Holiday Inn Express’s I’ve stayed in are better than this place and half the price. I stay in 100+ hotels every year and this is the worst value for money hotel I’ve been in. PS It was probably the bar shutting at 11 that irked me the most, and I did actually get a drink served to me in the foyer of the hotel after there was a near ... Read review

I expect these are the norm these days. Arriving ...

Advantages: Close to everything and fine dining
Disadvantages: Can be pricey when events come to town

...four time per year and Le Meridien Montparnasse is my top choice when rooms are available. 1. The Gare Montparnasse is just across the street and from there you can access the Metro to all of Paris. 2. The Justine restaurant has a buffet every night that is well worth the 37 Euro price. Excellent food, wine, and service. 3. The rooms are clean, large, and comfortable. Internet service is available in the room for a nominal fee. 4. The staff is ...
...(for more casual dining) and Le Montparnasse 25 for more formal dining and top rated food. Okay, now the only complaint I can even come up with is that when big events (soccer championships, Paris Air Show, Automobile Convention, etc.) come to Paris, Le Meridien books up very fast and getting a room can be a challenge. During the Paris Air Show I managed to get a room but had to pay "rack rates" (410 Euros per night!!!!) for it. I thought my manager ... Read review

...(i came home from this hotel bitten by bed bugs) the bathroom was unbeleiveably dirty with patches of dampness coming thorugh the ceiling and the shower being full of dust and general marks and scratches. the tv had one channel that was english and that was the news. that is all i can say about this hotel it took us a while to work out how to get to the metro link but it was only at the top of the street so taht was handy. overall i thought the ...

The hotel Londres & Anvers - Paris My wife and i recently had the pleasure of being able to get away from it all, with a short break in Paris. I am hoping that this might be of use to you guys, because we were doin Paris on a budget. We do not have a fortune, yet we wanted to fully enjoy and appreciate paris. Known for being one of the most expensive cities in the world, Paris is culture capital of the world. There really is something for everything. ...
...few secret delights, that are both enjoyable, and inexpensive. But for now, i will concentrate on the hotel. As we were working within a budget for the holiday, we wanted to try and get a relatively cheap hotel, though we did not want a real dump. Our viewpoint was that we needed a room that was clean and tidy, even if it did not have all the mod-cons. After all, this was our first time in Paris, and we did not really intend on being in the room ... Read review
