A lovely hotel for a romantic weekend away...

Advantages: Excellent location, lovely, newly refurbished rooms, very helpful staff
Disadvantages: None

...partner and I visited the Eiffel Seine hotel, Paris, in November 2005, and we were very pleasantly surprised by what we found. After scouring the internet for a reasonably priced long weekend away, we finally booked Paris through Thomson Cities, travelling on Eurostar, staying at this 3* hotel at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. The cost quoted on the website was £135 per person for three days including travel, which we thought was very reasonable, ...
...reccomend a stay at the Eiffel Seine. The location of two minutes walk to the Eiffel Tower couldn't be more perfect for a romantic break away. The building work was due to be completed in December 2005, and if the rest of the hotel matches the quality of the rooms then it's definitely worth a visit. If we visit Paris again I wouldn't hesitate to stay in this hotel. ...

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

...breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions ...
...We arrived at the hotel at about 8pm. The reception area is small. We assumed that they would speak English but tried out our limited French anyway, along with our hilarious 'Allo 'Allo style accents. Thankfully our French was not tested too greatly - although some of the reception staff at other times were less proficient in English so a vague idea of hotel French may be beneficial. We were given the enormous key after paying the remainder of the ...

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 ...

Your Bed...My Liege!

Advantages: Good Location, Comfy Beds, Nice Views on Our Floor
Disadvantages: Crazy Maid Monsters

...ourselves into the Paris Liege hotel for 2 nights. Where is it --------------- Located just opposite Gare Du Nord station in the heart of Paris, the hotel liege is ever so slightly out of sight behind a few brighter signed buildings. It’s on the left hand side of the road as you cross over and has a nice subtle pink sign indicating its presence. How much / How to Book? ------------------------------------- We booked through lastminute.com who ...
...--------------- Everything about this hotel seemed absolutely fine until we had our key in hand and headed up the stairs. We were told our room was on the fourth floor and there was an elevator we could use. I still cannot understand why they bothered telling us this, as the lift is obviously meant to be used for laundry movements or maintenance, not really fit for guests. It was small to the extreme and my sister and I struggled to both get in ...
