This hotel benefits from a great location, a step away from the Place de la Bastille, a vibrant area of Paris. Although the hotel hasn't been fully renovated, it has been kept in very good order, and maintained very well. The 31 bedrooms vary in size, some particularly spacious and ideal for families.

This modern hotel has recently undergone refurbishment and all the bedrooms have been thoroughly renovated. They are fresh-looking, decorated in a simple and very pleasant way, in a green colour scheme and with light wood furniture. The fact that the hotel is purposed built means that the lobby is large and airy, and the rooms spacious. Although located in a quiet residential area in the South East of Paris, it is convenient for the train station Gare de Lyon and Bercy-the venue where big concerts and major events take place.

Our opinion:
A lovely little hotel, situated in a superb location on the Place St. Augustin, only a short walk from the Madeleine and concorde, and the fashionable shopping area of the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore.The reception is homely and decorated in a very Parisian style. Downstairs cellar breakfast room is cosy with traditional wall paintings. The rooms are comfortably decorated, however, some are a little small. Having not been updated for a few years, we feel the hotel corresponds more to a 3 star category than a 3 superior. Friendly and helpful reception staff/concierge.

Charming hotel in a great location, halfway between the Champs Elysees and the Opera, near the Madeleine and the designer shops of Rue du Faubourg St. Honore.

Our opinion:
Brand new modern hotel located near Charles de Gaulle/Roissy airport and offering a new approach to hospitality. The lobby is bright and welcoming with light colours, using contemporary material and furniture. There is a friendly bar, an internet corner, a small fitness centre but the novelty is the "self service shop" where guests can buy food and refreshments throughout the day without having to worry or feeling uncomfortable about taking it to their room (note that there is only a "coffee/croissant" formula included in the room rate with a possibility for guests to purchase a more substantial breakfast in the self service shop). The bedrooms, which are called "suite", are very spacious and adapted for the comfort. They are well appointed and equipped with kitchenette and tea/coffee making facilities. It is also possible to separate the "living area" with the "sleeping area" with a sliding partition. The hotel is located in Roissy Ville, 3 km from the airport and offers a free shuttle service to and from the airport (Terminal 1,2, train station and ReR) from 05.30 to 00.30). A highly recommended hotel!

A very traditional hotel, situated in a prime location in the heart of the Latin Quarter, renowned for its historic streets, cafes and nightlife. Ideal weekend location.

This charming and intimate hotel is tucked away in a little pedestrian alley way, next to a house where Theo and Vincent Van Gogh spent some of their lives. It is a real oasis of tranquility, in the heart of Paris between the Opera and Montmartre, in a lively area full of restaurants and bars. The theme throughout the hotel is the South of France and the hotel is full of lovely Provencal furniture. The reception is intimate and welcoming and a personalised service is given to each guest. The bedrooms are compact (not unusual for Paris) but decorated with taste. They are being refurbished early 2005 and the air-conditioning is being installed throughout the hotel. A lovely little hotel for people who are looking for the 'real' Parisian experience.

Small, new hotel, entirely renovated at the beginning of 2002, offering good quality accommodation. It is situated in a popular area, in the heart of the Latin quarter, just behind Boulevard St Michel and near La Sorbonne university. It has a large marble reception area. The bedrooms are surprisingly large by Parisian standards. They are also very nicely decorated in a traditional way.

Our opinion:
Traditional boutique hotel, very authentic and Parisian in its decor and atmosphere. It benefits from a great location, behind the Elysee Palace and walking distance to the Place de la Concorde and Madeleine. And once inside, you do feel like you really are in Paris! The owners have used antiques and traditional furniture in the lobby and the bedrooms. The rooms are quite compact, all decorated in a different individual way but all with the same cosy and romantic feel. However, if you don't like flowers pattern, draperies, tapestries on the wall and chandeliers, this is not the hotel for you!

Small intimate hotel, priding itself in its warm welcome and individual service. The hotel offers personal touches like baking the croissants themselves, offering bath robes and a turn down service. The hotel also offers room service in partnership with a good restaurant nearby. The decor is very Parisian with traditional French wall paper in blue, cream or pink in the bedrooms, all refurbished in 2003. The 28 rooms can be compact but are comfortable and welcoming. The area is lively and friendly, with Montmartre and the Opera only a short stroll away. A very typical Parisian hotel with an extra touch!

Situated in a prestigious area, 15 minutes walk to the Arc de Triomphe, this hotel provides a very high standard of accommodation together with good service. The hotel is officially a 3 star but deserves a 4th star as it has everything required to be a 4 star property: comfort, intimate piano-bar, lovely garden where breakfast can be taken, reception room and a gastronomic restaurant. The bedrooms have an appealing homely feel and good lovely bathrooms.

Behind a traditional facade lies a very modern hotel entirely refurbished and stylishly re-decorated in 2003. The overall feel of the hotel is very soothing, with a priority given to earth colours, beige, brown and white. This includes a spacious reception area, breakfast room and bar/bistro. The atmosphere is relaxing, and this also applies to the modern bedrooms. They are elegant with a minimalist design, yet welcoming and comfortable. They offer very good amenities including tea/coffee making facilities. (some bathrooms are on the small side). This hotel is a great alternative to the traditional style Parisian hotels. It is also located in the prestigious and vibrant area of St Germain de Pres, on the Left bank, walking distance to Latin Quarter, Orsay Museum and Le Louvre.
