Paris Hotels > £120 and more Paris Hotels

dont bother

Advantages: central location
Disadvantages: lots

...stay 21St June 2003 Holiday Inn Republic, Paris, France This is a big hotel near the centre of Paris, the website makes it look great, the façade and location are impressive, its got 4 stars, and loads of facilities BUT don’t go there unless you get a deal for £100 or less for two per night. The rack rate is an incredible 350 Euro’s. Why is the hotel rubbish? 1 The rooms haven’t been refurbished since, 1985 ish 2 The bar (says on the website ...
...of the other 20 odd Holiday Inn full service hotels I’ve stayed in, how it manages 4 stars is beyond me. In fact the Holiday Inn Express’s I’ve stayed in are better than this place and half the price. I stay in 100+ hotels every year and this is the worst value for money hotel I’ve been in. PS It was probably the bar shutting at 11 that irked me the most, and I did actually get a drink served to me in the foyer of the hotel after there was a near ...

Review of Holiday Inn Paris Republique, 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 ...

One night in Paris Hilton is enough for any man !!

Advantages: It's the height of fashion daaahhhling
Disadvantages: It's ability to be tres expensive

...which it is clear the Hilton has drawn it's inspiration for it's clear cut lines and fresh appeal. Anyway, enough about the other buildings... The Hilton also boasts 2 plush and comfortable dining rooms, "Le Saffran" and "Art Deco Brasserie". Le Saffran serves traditional cuisine as well as a plethora of foods from all over the world, whereas Art Deco Brasserie serves the finest local cuisine to a very very very high standard (although they could ...
...reiterate that everything in the Hilton comes at a hefty price. Even a glass of house white will set you back approximately £7/£8, whilst a small beer will cost roughly £5/£6. The Hilton literally swarms with staff, from the concierges at the front desk, to the bellboys and valeters, so theres never a dull moment. It also boasts a beauty salon, 2 spas, a florist and a ballroom. For the high-powered executive, the Hilton offers a massive meeting ...

Review of Hilton Arc de Triomphe Paris, 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 ...

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 ...
