• Friendly staff and a clean, comfortable room.
• I didn't find any restaurants near the hotel.

“The hotel is clean and comfortable, with small rooms and a friendly staff. It is a 5 minute walk from the end of Metro line #8. It seems to be in a safe neighborhood, as I had no trouble walking to the hotel early in the morning. On the Metro it takes less than 15 minutes to get to the Eiffel Tower or about 45 minutes to Notre Dame.”

• The staff was very patient with our lack of French speaking ability and were very nice.
• Located in outskirts of town (but still reachable by metro).

“I was worried about the location of the hotel, on the outskirts of town, but it turned out to be very close to a metro stop which made it just fine for reaching all the great spots in Paris. The staff was very nice, and accommodating when we needed a late check out.”

• The hotel (and our room) was beautiful.
• The location is not as central.

“The hotel was beautiful. The rooms were spacious, the beds were very comfortable, and the facilities were great. The plaza next door is also nice with movies, a water park, and fast food. The location was farther than I expected. It was supposed to be by the Eiffel Tower area but it was no where near that. We really had to take the Subway to get around. The location is not great but the hotel was better than we expected.”

• The common areas were clean and attractive.
• The bed was completely worn out and unstable.

“Room service was poor - would not refill coffee service and did not empty trash. Mattress was so worn out it appeared that it had been run over with a steam roller. It would stand on end when you sat up to read. The location was far from any tourist location, but a short walk from the Metro station. This is an average hotel, far from 4 star.”

• The location was 1 block to metro station.
• The pool hours closed too early.

“Great location. Next door to a shopping mall and water park. Located away from the busy downtown core, but still just a 5 minute metro ride from all the main local tourist attractions.”

“Disgusting. There was nothing that the hotel could have done to ameliorate this for me. I did not go to Paris to stay in outer suburbs.”

• Fantastic staff and good location.
• No children under 12 in pool.

“Efficient, clean hotel that caters to business travelers and is located next to a shopping area. Has good access to major highway and public transportation.”

• Room cleanliness, modern fixtures + fittings, great facilities.
• Location is not a close walk to many eateries or Paris attractions.

“Modern, stylish hotel with most of the extras you'd expect from a 4 star hotel. Modern, clean rooms, quite spacious. The location is out of Paris but is very easy to access on the Metro system about 5 mins walk from the hotel. Gym facilities, sun deck and indoor pool were fantastic. There are a handful of cafe's near the Metro station but it is a limited choice. Your best option is to catch the Metro into Paris, St Germaine for dinner or lunch. My only criticism is the price of their buffet breakfast. Otherwise I give the hotel 9/10.”

• Fitness facility was very nice.
• The location. In the suburbs, and not a very pleasant one.

“My room had carpet that was threadbare and worn by traffic, although the room was relatively clean and bed was comfortable by Paris standards. The hallway smelled weird. There was mold in the bathroom. But all of that aside, it would have been "okay" except for the location. This hotel has no business being in the Eiffel Tower zone, as it is over 40 minutes by walk and Metro (like 12 stops with train change) to La Tour Eiffel. In fact, the hotel is outside of the Metro area. You have to get off at the very last stop (Balard), and walk 1/4 mile under the freeway to get to the hotel. Many Parisiens would claim this area is not even really "Paris." I would agree. The distance from city center aside, the neighborhood itself is borderline. Several government housing projects are located down the street. It is also a business district, so very mixed crowd. No cafes, brasseries, shops etc. I wouldn't walk it at night (and I am a city person). A market is located a mildly healthy walk past a sketchy residential area. One positive.if you have kids, there's a giant waterpark next door. They'll have a blast.”

• Isn't the Eiffel Tower area.

“The hotel was fine, but they really need to reclassify the area.”

• One of the best 4 star hotels in my travel to Europe.

“Taking the Metro transportation will only take 3 to 5 minutes of walking from the hotel. Can communicate with the hotel staff in English. Staffs are very friendly and willing to assist the customer in every way.”

• This hotel had big rooms and beds, and was very comfortable, something rare in center city Paris.
• Some rooms smelled like paint. Room service way to pricey. Kind of far from center Paris.

“While located on the far southwest side of Paris, the city is easily accessible by metro and tram. A 5 minute walk and a 20 minute ride will take you to most Paris hot spots. The staff is friendly, but friendlier to the French speaking members of our group. The rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable with huge beds and nice views if requested. Services include a health and fitness center/pool and several pricey restaurants.”

• The rooms were wonderful and the bed was extremely comfortable.
• There were no inexpensive food options (breakfast, dinner or snack) available in the hotel. All restaurants/bars were very pricey.

“I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and intend to go back. The breakfast offered was very pricey, so we went down the street and got some pastries at a delicious bakery. The staff were not extremely friendly or helpful, but the atmosphere and rooms were fabulous.”

• Great fitness center and great view.
• Room and location.

“Initially we got a room that was not renovated, sticky and smelled like smoke. The room was from the 80's and did not reflect the 4 star rating at all. We did complain and got a much better room on the lower floors. Fitness center & pool were great facilities.”

• The rooms were quite nice.
• The location is only good if you are going to an expo.

“I was very disappointed in the location of the hotel given the map. The map of this area is the only one that has a little nook that extends outside of the Peripherique in Paris to include an extra hotel. I feel it is deceptive. I certainly will never choose that neighborhood for Paris knowing that this is an option. It was a nice hotel, but the location really ruined it.”

• Food court near hotel, 5 min walk to Metro station.
• Very expensive public telephone - 1 euro per minute for local call.

“Generally very good and met our expectation for location and star level. It is located in a very safe and good area in Paris. The hotel seems to be frequented by international visitors and business travelers. The concierge speaks good English and is friendly.”

• I liked the housing staff as well as one of their front desk staff, who was Thai. She was the only nice front desk personnel working at the hotel.
• Front desk staff working the evening shift was AWFUL--snobby and unhelpful. Also, internet access was over-priced and should have been free!

“I would never stay here again, primarily because the front desk staff was awful to interact with. They were extremely snobby, aloof, uninterested, and unhelpful. They did not know simple things, such as information pertaining to metro/bus access to the hotel. They charge for everything that is extra, and internet access is extremely expensive. The hotel is out-of-the-way, there is nothing interesting around it, and the neighborhood nearby closes very early. I thought the level of service provided was worse than some 2-star hotels Ive stayed at in Paris and beyond! I would never stay here again!”
