Hotel de Vendome, Paris

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.

The hotel is very modern inside, clean and comfortable public rooms and very well equipped bedrooms with hairdryers and minibars - it more than deserved its 3 star rating. Best of all, due to its location it was quiet but only a 10 minute metro ride from central paris. also... Read review
