France Louvre, Paris

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Quality of rooms

...I have just come back from Paris having spent 2 nights at the France Louvre. This is my review.... Location The best part of staying at the France Louvre was the location, right in the centre of Paris with great transport links. Metro station 'Chatelet- Les Halles' is only a 5-min walk away and seems to be a main station of Paris. The location of this Hotel is particularly useful if you are travelling on Eurostar as Chatelet station is only one stop away from the Gard Du Nord Eurostar terminal (Line B - Blue line). Also if you are visiting Stade De France this is only two stops away on the same line. After a game at the Stade De France you can be back to the hotel within 15 minutes providing you don't get caught up in queues!! This hotel is also a couple of minutes away from the Seine and around 10 minutes walk to the Louvre...

Elysees Opera/America Opera Hotel - Paris, France.

Advantages: Location, Room Size
Disadvantages: Facilities offered were minimal.

...and Disneyland Paris. It is also in walking distance of Montmartre and Le Galleries Lafayette. I felt that our hotel was in a prime location making it easy for us to get around the city. Paris itself is a very noisy city; being the capital of France this should be expected. There is always a lot of noise around including during the evenings and at night time. The fact that our hotel was situated in such an area did not make it any better; this was clearly visible with our balcony doors open. However, the hotel offers soundproofed rooms, as standard to combat this noise, of which I will go into more detail later. Overall for the location I would give it a 9/10, we never struggled to find anything that we were looking for, apart from the hotel itself in the first instance. Everything is easily accessible, and with a Patisserie and small shop...

Review of America Opera Hotel, Paris

Great little find in Paris- Hotel France Albion

Advantages: Fantastic location and large sized room!
Disadvantages: Breakfast disappointing

...Fresh off the plane from paris i thought I'd share my thoughts on this hotel in Paris where my best friend and I spent a long weekend. We chose the hotel for its location- close to shopping district and centre of Paris and we werent disappointed there. We were feeling confident about the hotel as we had had good communication with them before we left- we had changed dates and asked to leave our luggage in the hotel as we were arriving early. We were not disappointed when we arrived- the outside of the hotel was a freshly painted blue. of all the buildings in the street it was by far the best cared for giving a very good impression. inside, the staff could not have been more friendly and willing to help. we spoke in French to them but I did hear them speaking English with other guests. the desk is manned 24/7 which was a relief...

Review of Hotel France Albion, Paris

Euro Disney Paris, France

Advantages: A quick taster of Disney parks, easier to get to, great hotels close by
Disadvantages: Can work out very expensive if your not careful

...We went the week before Christmas to get us in the spirit of things, on a 4 day deal for the price of 3. Different ways of getting there include: Euro tunnel and driving Euro Star takes you right to the resort Or Flying As there was 10 of us we took two motors and caught an early train. You should arrive 45 minutes before departure at the Euro Tunnel but don't panic if u do miss your alloted time, very often you can catch another one without the extra cost of it. We took the 6am train with a journey totalling 35 minutes over to Calais, France. From there it's head towards Paris direction under the Charles de Gaulle Runway. Journey time from the Euro tunnel is about 3 half hours depending on stops and traffic. The hotel we stayed in was the 2nd best in Euro Disney called The New York, which is a taste of The Big Apple...

Review of Paris Hilton - Paris

  A Superb Gamble in Vegas! The Paris Hotel!

Advantages: Something new to explore..you can be in Paris and Las Vegas at the same time!
Disadvantages: A bit pricy for some, you need more than two weeks to see everything!

...walkway to Bally's and a small kiosks selling French pastries. At a glance . . . exploring more . . . to find more surprises on the way! The Hotel (celebrating 10 years of success) The hotel is a 34-story tower that is distinctively different in shape. If you look at it from an air view, it will look like big + sign. Thus they have south, north, east and west wings. It was created and shaped after the famously momentous Hotel De Ville in Paris France. This hotel is remarkably organised and has the Parisian theme at every single inch of it. It has a gaming area of over 83,000 square feet, full of exciting games, gambling and casinos. The Lobby The Spacious lobby features marble floors, a seating area and numerous alluring chandeliers which have been switched on all the day and accompany you throughout...

...**** Quality Hotel Pierre Arc de Triomphe Paris**** I stayed in this hotel the second time i visited this city.There are 25 rooms,all en-suite ,single,double and twin. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located very near the arc de triomphe and down one of the streets is a shuttle bus service which will take you to the airports,both Charles De Gauile and Orily.It is also near a metro stop and a taxi rank.This is how long it will take you to get to te hotel from the following places From the Champs Elysées : 10 minutes walk From the Palais des Congres : 10 minutes walk From Opera : Direct access by the ligne number 3(2 minute walk). **Reception/staff** I didn't think that this looked very impressive.There was apparently a bar but this was an area with two seats and small work top.Unimpressed.Checking in was okay but...

Review of Quality Hotel Pierre - Arc de Triomphe, Paris

Je t'adore Paris !!

Advantages: Classic French beauty, history and ambiance
Disadvantages: None

...the brass compass star, "Point Zero des Routes de France" fixed in the pavement in front of Notre Dame This is considered point zero and throughout France highway signs tell you how far you are from Paris. It is from this point that all the distances are measured. Notre Dame is an enormous example of Gothic architecture, having been built in stages to its current size over many, many years. What stuck out to me the first time I visited the cathedral, and something that you don't notice in photographs, was that the entire entryway is unbelievably intricately carved. Cathedrals at the time of the construction of Notre Dame had many purposes, not the least which was to glorify not only God (or in this case to the Virgin Mary), but also the reigning sovereign, clerics and whoever else held power at the time. There was no such thing as too...

Review of Notre Dame, Paris

Saint-Ouen Flea Market, Paris, France

Advantages: You can find nealry anything here.
Disadvantages: not in a nice area.

...he biggest of Paris' three main flea markets, St-Ouen sprawls between Porte de St-Ouen and Porte de Clignancourt and is open on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. It sells a little bit of everything from second-hand to new clothes, from any bit of junk the sellers can find to antiques, old tin baths, and office chairs or old radios - anything you think you might want or need can be found here. How to get there The market is at the northern edge of the 18th arrondissement, on the outer side of the Périphérique Nord. If you get off at the métro Porte de St-Ouen and head north you will find yourself walking through the unofficial stalls that line the streets. These sell normal things that you can find in any market, such as hair trinkets, clothes and household goods; the real treasures are up ahead, once you have passed under the overpass...

Review of Marché aux Puces de Saint-Quenn (Paris)

Paris, je t'aime

Advantages: Great metro service, beautiful city to explore on foot,
Disadvantages: Perhaps more difficult for disabled people, busy busy busy, lots of sellers and beggars, STRIKES

...shopping centre - Les Quatres Temps. However, La Défense can be reached on line 1 of the metro, and though this will take longer, it's slightly cheaper (although we're talking a matter of centimes). * Line B - Blue - this line serves both Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports, as well as the Stade de France (also served by RER D). Line B also serves the Gare du Nord. An important thing to remember when using the RER is that you must keep your ticket safe. You're supposed to keep your ticket anyway, as you can be asked to show it at any point within the metro system, but it is especially important with the RER as you need your ticket to get out (much like in the London Underground). BY BUS:- I don't really have much to say about the buses in Paris, as I never really used them. There's a vast network of buses, but I find it much...
