Cheated by Hotel that spoilt my Honeymoon

Advantages: Near Eifel Tower
Disadvantages: Cheated, no common sense manager

...and I stayed in this hotel during our honeymoon in 29th November 2007. The hotel's decoration, room space and location are above average. However our honeymoon holiday was spoilt by an inconsiderate and lack of common sense manager on the last day of our stay 5th December. We had to leave the hotel very early in the morning to catch a train to Zurich, so we enquired for alternative breakfast that is part of our package. The manager on the previous ...
...that option, and while we were rushing to check out the following day, the manager charged us 9 Euro dollars for two omelettes whichs looks like plain eggs to me. We told the manager that it is unfair to charge us as he never indicated it is chargable. He simply said I am sorry but you have to pay. This discussion went on for 15 mins and we had no choice but to pay because we were late for our train. This resulted us to miss our train to Zurich ...

Review of Hotel La Bourdonnais, Paris

A Great Base for Exploring Paris

Advantages: Location, Price, Staff
Disadvantages: Uphill walk

The Comfort Hotel Place Du Tertre is located in the Montmartre area of Paris and is a stone’s throw away from the Sacre Coeur church in one direction and the world famous Moulin Rouge cabaret club in the other. The nearest metro station is Blanche, which is on the blue (number two) line and connects straight to the main train station, Gard Du Nord, which makes it very easily accessible from the airport. From the metro station it is around a five ...
...bed and breakfast at the Comfort Hotel and I would say that this is about as good as you are going to get in terms of value for money. This hotel is no good if you expect luxury – as is always the case, you will have to pay through the roof for that. But as a cheap base for a short visit to this fascinating city, the Comfort Hotel Place du Tertre is an excellent choice. ...

Review of Comfort Hotel Place du Tertre, Paris

Perfect Hostel - It's All In The Name!

Advantages: Great location, staff and price
Disadvantages: It's very basic

-The Hotel- - As an ardent lover of all things Parisien, I have visitied the city numerous times and found this hotel a few years ago. Since then I have returned to the hotel (which is now officially classified as a hostel) four or five times and would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the city on a shoe-string. - First of all I will say that if you're looking for luxury in Paris, the Hotel Perfect(and so this review) will be of no use ...
...Parisien hospitality coupled with a good location and excellent links, then read on! Floor space is at a huge premium in Paris, so to find such a well located, comfortable and clean place to stay, at such competitive prices, is really quite an achievement. - The hostel is located on Rue Rodier, in the Montmatre district of Paris. It's a ten minute walk (with luggage) from the Gare de Nord railway station, which will connect you to the airports and ...

Review of Perfect Hostel, Paris

Not the 'Paris' experience I was expecting

Advantages: near to subway station and nice bakery
Disadvantages: dirty basic rooms, scary man in our room, generally rude staff

...hostels when I arrived at Hostel Richard. Nothing, however prepared me for the experience ahead of me. On arriving at about 10pm my friend and I found the front door to the hostel blocked shut from the inside with a chair. After knocking on the door a man let us in, and in my opinion was rather rude! Throughout our check in he kept trying to look behind us to see the TV (which appeared to be showing some sort of porn!). The Hostel room was the dirtiest ...
...simply daren't visit the communal shower room! We used our sleeping bags as the sheets were dirty too. On our last night we were due to leave early in the morning - about 4pm to catch an early train. We were awake and getting ready at about 3am, when our bedroom door was unlocked from the outside, and the man from our check in experience entered our room. Obviously we were quite shocked to find a man entering our room at 3am! He then said 'Sorry ...

Review of Hostel Richard, Paris

Good Base for 'Swanning' around Paris

Advantages: Cheap, central
Disadvantages: Very small and very basic

..., I happened upon the Hotel du Cygne (or The Swan Hotel). A bit more research on Trip Advisor and it seemed this was about the best we were going to get for our budget. According to the website, the Hotel du Cygne is "part of a restored genuine 17th Century building that is located in the heart of the city, the old and historical section of Paris" furnished with "wooden period furniture carefully gathered from years of going round the Clignancourt ...
...~HOTEL~ The hotel reception is small, with one little sitting room off to the side which is very nicely decorated and those flea market finds seemed to be in evidence there. There was another small room off to the other side with tables and chairs and a lovely grandfather clock, and this is where we saw another guest having breakfast one morning. I was pleased we hadn't paid for this as it seemed to be just one croissant, one small piece of crusty ...
