Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has good bones but could use renovations. The rooms, while a bit plain, were comfortable. However, the air conditioning was faulty, leading to a disruptive room change in the middle of the night. The free buffet breakfast, offering meat, cheese, bread, and more, was a nice touch.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and had a nice modern look, just as advertised. The staff exceeded expectations, being very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The location was superb, right by the Champs-Elysees, with easy access to various attractions. The dining experience was pleasant, though it could have been slightly better. The facilities were excellent, adding to the overall enjoyment of my stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the lumpy king-sized bed with two huge indentations made sleeping a challenge. On the bright side, the tiny shower and full-sized bathtub combo was a unique touch. The service was top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff who went the extra mile to assist with all our needs. The location was superb, centrally located and within walking distance of the main attractions. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with limited and overpriced options that lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with its ups and downs.
I could not have asked for a better location, just steps away from the iconic Champs Elysées. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay truly enjoyable. However, the rooms did not meet our expectations despite booking an upgrade, and the lack of recognition for being regular return guests was disappointing. The dining experience was average, but the convenient location made exploring dining options outside easy.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were very nice and comfy with a great bed, there was limited space between the bed and bureau. The service, especially from the receptionists and door men, was excellent and very friendly. The location, just off Champs-Elysées, was perfect for exploring in a safe neighborhood. The dining experience was not up to par for the price paid. The hotel has some positive aspects but also some room for improvement.
The hotel had a recent remodeling and had a nice modern look as advertised; however, the room was very small and facing an internal shaft which made it even more catastrophic. On the bright side, the service was excellent, especially from staff members Patrick and Natale, who were very helpful. The location was superb, just off the Champs Elysees, with great staff; nonetheless, the dining options could do with an update. The overall experience was positive, but there are aspects that could be improved for the value.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit decrepit and small, yet surprisingly clean with an Arabic bathroom washer. The service from the staff, especially Zahrah at reception, was quick, kind, and eager to make my stay the best possible. The location was fantastic, just off the ChampsÉlysées and a short walk to the iconic Arc de Triomphe, but the dining options were only average for a supposed luxury hotel. The facilities were decent, but not outstanding.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room featuring a fully separate little living room was perfect for our family, and the amenities provided made it very comfortable. However, there were some initial issues with the Mobil to call fee, but they were quickly resolved after a few complaints.
Staying with our infant daughter who slept in her cot in the bedroom was okay actually for European standards. The early check-in we booked was not available, a bit of a downside, but the service team was helpful when we asked to move rooms due to noise next door. The location is terrific, right beside Champs-Elysées with friendly and helpful reception. The dining experience was a bit of a disappointment, but the smoked guinea fowl was notable. Overall, a decent stay with a mix of positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The rooms were very comfortable, but mine was small and facing an internal shaft, which was not ideal. The fully separate little living room was a bonus for us traveling with our infant daughter. The toilet seat was jammed in an awkward position between the wall and the shower, making it a bit tricky to navigate, especially for anyone not slim.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious enough to accommodate a king bed and sofa bed, though the sweet I got was not what I booked, leading to an upgrade cost. The free buffet breakfast was a nice touch, offering a variety of options like meat, cheese, and bread.
The hotel is located just off Champs-Elysées, offering a great setting with an outside courtyard featuring a fountain. The rooms are clean and decorated nicely; however, facing an internal shaft made my experience a bit disappointing due to the small space. The service was attentive and accommodating, making my stay enjoyable despite the room issue. The location is perfect, just 100 meters from Champs-Elysées. The dining experience was decent but slightly overpriced. Overall, a good stay with some room for improvement in certain aspects.
The hotel is centrally located, right by the Champs Elysees, with easy access to restaurants and coffee shops. The rooms are quite spacious, equipped with a king bed, mood lighting, and a nice shower, although missing an extra bed as advertised. The service was outstanding, with very friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was subpar, lacking in service, but the location makes up for it. Overall, a convenient choice with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers a fantastic room, very tastefully appointed and very comfortable. The setting is lovely with an outside courtyard featuring a fountain. The food provided was plentiful but bland. However, the air conditioning was problematic, leading to a room change in the middle of the night for the third time.
The hotel offers a fantastic room, very tastefully appointed and very comfortable. It was a quiet and comfortable stay, although there was a minor inconvenience with the toilet seat jammed between the wall and the shower. The middle-of-the-night peace added to the overall experience.
