Eiffel Capitol Hotel, Paris

Advantages: Lots of places to go
Disadvantages: A little dirty

...In Paris, there is a lot to do. I went to visit the Eiffel Tower, which you can go up either by elevator or walk up, and on every level, there is a gift shop, and binoculars to look out at the scenery with. After that, you can eat at the Eiffel Tower resturant, which is beautiful. The food was filling and excellent. After that, on the way back to the hotel, we stopped by at one of the market stalls to buy some fresh sea food, and to do some shopping. I highly recommend going, because you see what Paris really is all about, and the clothes are great! Also, you need to reserve the Eiffel Resturant beforehand, or else you won’t be assured of a seat.... Read review

Advantages: warm in summer, romantic, architecture, street cafes
Disadvantages: street entertainers wanting money for nothing, Hotel Favart

...My boyfriend and I travelled by Eurostar to Paris last summer and I can truly say it was the most wonderful holiday we have ever experienced. Disneyland Paris was the first stop and it is far more attractive than its American counterparts. We had to take the metro to Paris and carrying our luggage up four flights of escalators was a struggle, but it was worth it. Our first hotel was a great disappointment - Hotel Favart. It was a total dump and we were only allowed to leave and cancel our reservation after I flooded the lobby with tears. A very fast taxi journey took us to Hotel California on Rue de Berri, just of the Champs Elyesse. I will never forget turning the corner at the Place De la Concorde and seeing the Arc de Triomphe for the first time. Forget the Eiffel - Paris is about architecture and the Arc is incredible. I could go... Read review

Advantages: right near all the good attraction
Disadvantages: no real great views

...This is a great hotel in a great location for all the paris attraction and a very short walk to the nearest metro station. This can link you to anywhere in Paris. The metro is a great method of transport around the city and a day pass can be bought for next to nothing. The hotel itself is actually right next door to the Hilton (your in the posh area) and is within 5 mins walking distance of the eiffel town itself. The hotel is very clean and tidy and the rooms are very smart and well maintained. If you are wanting a picture postcard view from your room then think again. A lot of the buildings in paris are high rises so most rooms look out on either the street out the front of the hotel or out the back where you can just about catch site of the river. Drinks in paris are notoriously expensive to buy. I really fancied a beer... Read review
