Villa Lutece Port Royal, Paris

Advantages: Very Clean, Good Food
Disadvantages: A Fair Distance From The Main Resort

...The Hotel Royal Kenz in the Resort of Port El Kantaoui in Tunisia was recently my Home for 7 nights between the 2nd and 9th July 2006. The Holiday itself was a last minute booking but the Girl at the Travel Agent's said that She had stayed at this Hotel and that it was superb. The price for the total package, including Flights and transfers was incredibly cheap at just under £200 Half Board for 7 nights and so the booking was made. FIRST IMPRESSIONS I had seen a picture of the Hotel in the Brochure so I knew that this was one of the largest Hotels in the Resort with 405 Rooms. I also knew that it had only three Floors and that it was therefore spread out over quite a wide area within its own Grounds. On arriving in the Resort the first point to note was that the Hotel was quite a distance from the main hub of the Resort... Read review

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Quality of rooms

...This is another hotel from Accor, the founders of Ibis. However i am reviewing the Etap hotel situated on the outskirts of Paris, within an area known as Kremlin Bicetre. In this area, you have the choice between an Ibis hotel, a Novotel and the Etap, as well as various other smaller establishments, of which the Etap is by far the least expensive. The Etap Hotel Paris Porte D'Italie is split into two buildings; Ouest (west) and Est (east). Whereas the western hotel has 144 rooms, the eastern has 171.

The French Etaps are cheaper than those in the UK and will only set you back 48 Euros (around £33) per room per night. But bear in mind there is a 3 Euro suppliment for the second... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: No bathroom

...book well in advance. All of the rooms are air conditioned, whcih is a godsend considering the noise from the traffic is unbearable with the window open. But with the double glazing, having the window shut should block out mot of the noise. Pets are welcome, and there is a lift for disabled access. Each room consists of a double bed with overhanging bunk, a worktop, tv, telephone, alarm clock and wash basin. THERE IS NO EN SUITE. Shower facilities are are on each floor and are shared between the guests - not good for those who are used to having their own bathroom! Although catering facilities are non-apparent, there is a shoppiong centre (la centre commerciale le grand porte) a sgort walk away from where you can purchase any essentials. There are also vending machines in the main foyer. A buffet breakfast is served everyday for 3... Read review
