I wouldn't want a "Holiday Inn" this hotel

Advantages: Good location
Disadvantages: dull, dull, dull - and not cheap either

...in my room at the Holiday Inn in Paris St Germain de Pres I couldn't help but reflect that the designers drew heavily from that area of the colour palette best characterised by the term 'nicotine'. Not a popular colour card at the 'mix your own Dulux' decorator centre and with good reason. This is a Holiday Inn that's badly in need of refurbishment and I was rather relieved to only be there for the one night. My room was quite astonishingly drab ...
...Good job the Americans invented Holiday Inn so he can't hold that against the French. My colleague said he was jealous and would rather be in my shoes with Paris at my feet for the evening but I wasn't in any mood to take advantage of it. I was on my own, tired and I had work to do. I pre-booked online at the Holiday Inn website which they always say is the cheapest way to book but it also means you have to pay in advance. I later found out that ...

Review of Holiday Inn Paris-St. Germain Des Pres, Paris

Formal elegance

Advantages: Elegant, upmarket and nice rooms
Disadvantages: Pricey and could be too formal for some

...whilst there was the Sofitel Arc De Triomphe. This hotel was another one of my favourites due to the nice standard although I did prefer the sister hotel Sofitel Le Faubourg out of the two. The hotel: As I am sure is obvious by now from my opening statement the hotel is part of the Sofitel chain. It is classed as a 4 star luxury hotel and is certainly fair to say it is. The hotel is more of a classic luxury type rather than modern luxury by the ...
...located pretty close to the Arc De Triomphe which I'm sure is obvious by the name but, I thought it might be worth mentioning that this is indeed the case, as with so many hotels nowadays the name can sometimes be just that and not actually be in connection with location at all! So yes the hotel is located close to the famous Parisian landmark and is actually at 14 Rue Beaujon and is in the 8th Arondissemont. First impressions: As soon as our vehicle ...

Review of Arc de Triomphe Paris Sofitel Demeure Hotels, Paris

Luxury from the Sofitel

Advantages: Gorgeous rooms, nice facilities and great location
Disadvantages: Price may be too much for those on a budget

...including the Mercure, Novotel and Sofitel and from the Sofitel chain this was one of them; Sofitel Le Faubourg. The Hotel: The Sofitel Le Faubourg is a luxury hotel in the heart of the city centre. A four star hotel that has a variety of room types and an elegant style it has a range of amenities to suit every type of holiday maker. Location: The Le Faubourg hotel has a brilliant location in terms of how of how central it is to the Champs Elysee ...
...are in all of the Sofitel hotels make the room luxurious and comfortable - in fact they are one of the most comfiest beds I have ever lay on and I just sank into it! The bathroom is equipped with Hermes products and bathrobes and with a range of amenities such as in room safes, air conditioning, flat screen TV, WIFI access and mini bar the room certainly has enough to keep guests happy. The room was really quiet even though on the front side of the ...

Review of Sofitel Le Faubourg - Paris Demeure Hotels, Paris

Attention to detail required

Advantages: World famous in the centre of Paris
Disadvantages: Pricey

...word that best describes the hotel is “opulence” High ceilings, luxurious drapes, grand proportions, beautiful furniture, quality all round. The bedrooms were spacious I think about 325 sq ft, there was an entrance vestibule, with bathroom to one side and bedroom straight on. PS I booked the standard hotel room 490 Euro’s per night. The bedroom had a queen size bed, some fine silky cotton type sheets and was incredibly comfortable, mirrored wardrobes ...
...info re Paris and the hotel could be found (pity no one told us about this, we found out just before we left). The bathroom was a good size, but not huge, double sinks with swan neck taps, large cream marble bath with shower (the shower didn’t work properly), slippers were provided as were bath robes (both were to small for me, I’m a 32 inch waist 42 inch chest with size 9.5 feet, not exactly Mr Large). After a soak and a change of clothes we were ...

Review of Hotel Ritz, 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 ...
