France hotels & accommodations
1K Hotel was a great hotel in Paris, especially with all the amenities and modern decor. My only caveats with this hotel would be 1) the service from the attached restaurant 2) the maid service and 3) the television. When we went to the restaurant to ask what the vegan/vegetarian options were (as we booked this hotel specifically because there were noted options) the h...
This is a wonderful hotel to stay at for a honeymoon, featuring some of the best service I have ever experienced. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The room, while not large, was well lit, well furnished, with a very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. The hotel also provides free wifi at your request (although at the price you pay to stay in the first ...
I can't say enough good things about Hotel Gavarni, truly. This was my second time in Paris and when I travel I almost always stay in a hostel because I'm barely in the room and have a tight budget - but this time I decided to stay in a hotel since I was travelling with a friend. I wanted something close to the Eiffel Tower since that's our main attraction and we'll li...
The hotel also has a great amount of history and heritage behind it which is then translated and reflected into the look and feel of the rooms. The lobby, paintings and fireplace are excellent features as well. Enjoyed the closeness to the vast number of restaurant on the Champs Elysee as well as the RER service. The hotel could perhaps look into making free wifi avail...
We stayed at this hotel on July 14 to watch the firework of France Victory day. This hotel was really nice to enjoy watching fireworks in room and I'm willing to recommend this hotel if you wanna see the whole paris from the top.
Fantastic Botique Hotel with the best location, fantastic breakfast and the absolute best service especially from Christopher who went over and above the call of duty to make sure we enjoyed our stay in Paris. Thank you so much. I would go back for sure the next time I visit Paris.
The reception was friendly and welcoming and answer all our questions, offered us maps when we did not ask for it (Thumbs up!) Lobby had a lovely snacks and drinks corner for guest like us who are tired or hungry after exploring the city to get some snacks before going back to our room. Biscuits and sweets are so TASTY! Housekeeping was great, room is always cleaned af...
The hotel is located beside the train station Saint-Lazare, from there you could go to any attractions that you like. The staff are friendly and they provide free hot water since there is no kettle in the room. I had a very pleasant stay. You could walk 10 mins to Galleries Lafayette. There are many restaurants and markets nearby.
Love this staff, all rockstars. Helpful and super friendly. This was my general experience in France, but it was even more so at this hotel. The room was small, like most hotels, and besides the very stylish decor (which I love), the layout was so good that it felt twice as large as it looked. Meaning we were easily able to get stuff out of our way and relax. Great ...
Loved this hotel. From the minute we stepped through the doors, the staff where very friendly and helpful. Room was huge with a separate bedroom for our grandson (free upgrade) and very clean and well presented. Our grandson loved the pirate theme. Continental breakfast had such a big choice, and was replenished constantly so was very fresh, even had freshly cooked 'fu...
The hotel is located within walking distance of the louvre museum. There is also a supermarket, money changer and lots of cafes around the corner. The room is quite small which they say is typical of paris hotels but nicely decorated. There is even an espresso machine! Breakfast was the best! There is also a rooftop with lots of chairs wherein you can relax.😊 The only...
Via a booking site, I always state my needs, eg whether I'm arriving early, etc. In most cases, these requests seem to be ignored by the hotels, and so I have to mention them again upon arrival. For this hotel, they didn't ignore the request. We requested for early check-in, not expecting too much, as we arrived Paris a little past 8am, and just hoped for a bit earlie...
20 years ago, my wife visited Paris for one day trip from London. She did not stay overnight. This year, we planned for our visit to this city for vacation & shopping. I was not interested in that but wanted to visit some iconic landmarks in Paris & spend some times in the Grand Mosquee of Paris. We also need to find halal food in Paris. So our itinerary coverage in Pa...
Within 15mins walk from Esplanade de la Defense station on Metro Line 1(Yellow Line)- easy for transport and the same line that has most of Paris' attractions and just changing at CDG Etoile you can go to other tourist transactions within average travel time of 35-40mins from the hotel including the walking. The staff was friendly and welcoming,does not speak good engl...
Despite making a last minute reservation to stay at Madeleine Plaza Hotel, our booking via Agoda was immediately attended to by the hotel staff ( I had sent them a chaser e-mail immediately because it was last minute). Our check-in was seamless and they were kind enough to allow us to check-in early after our long flight. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgrad...
i booked a double room (single large bed) but got a twin room (2 single beds) instead. didn't request for an exchange as the hotel seems to be fully booked and i couldn't be bothered with the request. ignoring the above, hotel is fantastic, breakfast spread is good, location is good, accessibility to central Paris is good as it's next to the Metro. however, getting ...
I asked for eiffel view room before i go to trip, so i arrived the hotel, i can checked in eiffel view room. I appreciate your cooperation. and then room condition , tea time, clearness, room size ... everything is perfect for me. also if you choose this hotel, you can see the whole eiffel tower within 5 minutes in trocadero square. It was One of my best day. T...
This is a wonder hotel. I was finding it my way on foot, and when i arrive nearby with many suitcase, a staff came up to me and ask if i am staying in their hotel, i was very suprise, i am on my 12days trip in france and from what i heard the people in france is not very friendly, but it was only rumours, the rooms i was staying had a bath, the interior was extermely a...
I thought the hostel is small but this hostel is so big and lively. Moreover, the location is also nice. I was able to go to everywhere from the nearest station, colognel fabien. Breakfast, Bar, other services was nice for me. I wish I would stay at this hostel when I come to France again in the future.
Nothing more could’ve said about the hotel, but it was without doubt one of the best experiences we had staying in Paris. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and we received an upgrade when we mentioned that we were on our honeymoon. Would definitely wanna stay here again!
We were given a bigger room instead of the classic room that we booked. The door of our first room was not working properly but the problem was rectified immediately and we were immediately given a new room. The room was nice and the hotel is very near to the metro station. Lots of eateries and grocery stores nearby.
The overall stay was quite enjoyable. When we arrived I found out that we had only booked a double room and we were traveling with our four year old so the hotel upgraded our room to a suite with a pullout bed which was great because the room was much bigger. I had read some whining about the hotel in some reviews before I went there but I found it hard to see where ...
Perfect cheap price and great location! Hotel staff was very kind and accommodating. One of the best cheap hotels we have stayed in.
Amazing hotel. Was our return to Canne after 14 years with two children. Spent the previous fortnight travelling in France. Staff were amazing especially Yssam at the bar. Super polite and made the best Moscow mule on the planet. Kid’s club staff were also some of the best we have encountered in all our travels.
Great Staff. Very friendly and helpful. Great Location. The hotel provide self-service laundry facility (washing machine/ dryer). Very good if you stay in France for a week or more.
Great hotel to just sleep and go adventure out to either France Paris or Disneyland. Breakfast was okay. Hotel was clean
Liege station was good to access to anywhere in Paris, and their service was far better than any other 5 star hotels in France! We really appreciated it
I love the openness and the big room. Unlike most of the places we stay in France, this place is more like the rooms in the US' hotels with king bed, a little kitchen with cabinets and furnitures in the room. The bed and linen are high quality. I would say it almost like the Westin kind of hotel, with bath robes and slippers...
Apart from the early slight inconvenience of the taxi not being able to find the hotel (we end up being dropped off nearby and having to walk to look for the hotel) and some noise from construction work outside the hotel in the early morning and late night revelers, I am pleased with my choice. Ref finding the hotel, it would have helped if on booking, there were inst...
Stayed 4 night in Paris for my honeymoon trip. Mercure Paris Tour Eiffel is the BEST location, a few step to Eiffel Tower, great location for metro and airport bus in front of the hotel. The Staff name "Vivek" very nice and friendly. He help me to call local tour city and booking the restaurant on the top of Eiffel Tower. Comfortable bed. Many good restaurants, one Ch...
Cheap places to stay in France
It is clean, reasonable price with international hotel. The room is big for european hotel but the bathroom is quite old and doesnt have the bath kit. It takes 10 minutes to the center Opera house by car. The staffs are good. Checkin process is quick.
I stayed in Hotel Ozz as a single female traveller for 5 nights. It was the best decision I ever made. With the option of female only dormitories, I met lots of other female travellers and had a great holiday. The beds also had draw-around curtains and a light and powerpoint at each bed, making them private and comfortable. The hostel itself was clean, bright and w...
Well, this was a first for us - staying in hostel-type accommodation. Our ensuite double room, in an adjacent block which was formerly a 2 star hotel, didn't have the best of views but then we were only in it to sleep and shower. In the hostel building itself you'll meet people from all over the world (young and not so young). The staff are very helpful and friendly, a...
We booked here for our first night before we started the Camino and it was the perfect place to start from. It was a little bit out of town but it was nice to have that little bit of a head start and sleep in. The family that runs it are absolutely amazing and lovely. We had the best stay! I would love to come back and just stay for a few days because it was so friendl...
cheap one at the best loaction.. friendly staff .. free breakfast & drinks in the evening.. except you hear walking noises from upper floor if you are staying in the bottom unit... apart from that its the best one..
As a solo traveler - and a first time traveler at that - I was really anxious about my visit overall. Within 4 hours of being at the hostel though - I was instantly welcomed by a friendly staff and people who were inviting. The hostel is also located super close to the metro - allowing me to get to where I want to go with ease. While the place itself was nice, the bes...
So, separate bathrooms per dorm, which is great, but their shower faucets are this weird automatic shutoff type. Think the type you find on a sink in a public bathroom. Also they're toilet paper comes in sheets instead of rolls. Willing to overlook all of that though because of the AC and bathrooms in every dorm. But their Wi-Fi *sucks*, it will work for like 10 seco...
Room was not made up.No soap in the bathroom.Bed is worn out.TV had only 2 channels.Restaurant was excellent.Breakfast horrible.Basically its a hostile and should be clearly stated.
I stayed in a private room in this hostel thinking it to be a hotel as I booked it through this site. However, though it did not have any room service that we are used to, it was Value for money. The Location was excellent with the subway station closeby with lots of bars, fast food corners and restaurants around. When it comes to Cleanliness, I give full marks and yes...
While travelling with a rented car being continously on-line is difficult. After making the reservation for Chamonix Lodge we did not have any internet access and the access information for the door was received some time after checking out. Fortunately the door was kept open by other guests and we could use the booked room. The information in the room was clear, we do...
I arrived at Gare du Nord train station, Paris from the CDG airport (easy - phew!) and found that St Christopher's Inn was easy to find once you navigated yourself out of the station and found your bearings on Rue de Dunkurque (walk towards the post office). Although I arrived early they were very friendly and offered me a shower to freshen up and (paid) lockers to hol...
The dorm room had 5beds and lockers (take your own padlock) and a bathroom. A lovely housekeeper came in each day and cleaned them. Make sure that you book ahead the days that you want to stay and don't leave it until the last minute or you may have to find elsewhere. I sense that this is based on the price that you pay somehow (which changes). You could pay between Au...
You get what you pay for with this hostel. This is not a hotel, so don't expect room service, TV in your room,or other facilities.Location is good, easy to find, near a Metro, but noisy. That's Paris for you. Entrance is through a bar, no lift or escalator, narrow staircase to rooms, so if you can't manage stairs, reconsider. My room was on 6th floor, very small room, ...
This hotel is in the Montmartre area which is great especially if you are a first time visitor to Paris and you'd like to cross Montmartre and Sacre-Couer on your list of places to visit. The room-- We booked an eco double room and please note that this room will be a bit cramped. No AC unit either. We were there in the summer during the heatwave and boy was it stifli...
cool place to stay. nice English speaking receptionists. U can't check in early, but they let u keep ur luggage safely in store if you come early. there is even bathrooms downstairs for you to freshen up and lobby to chill around while check in yr room. room is comfortable and quite spacious. toilet is Chilean and spacious too. although they mention it is mixed room, t...
It is convenient to arrive everywhere and it is a better experience than before.
This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in hands down in every way. It was so clean I went barefoot even on the stairs and in the kitchen, the staff was so kind and multilingual they helped with every question and request, the food was delicious, the services varied and we'll thought out, the bathrooms and rooms were so clean and lovely it was like staying in yo...
Loved the location. Few minutes walking distance from line 2 metro, Anvers station. 3 minutes walk up the hill is Sacre Coeur. Given the cheap price, it was good to stay for a night and take a bus # 54 ( less than 10 minutes) to Gare du EST train station for early morning train. It worked out for us. I emailed several months ahead and asked for the room ( double room)...
Close to SNCF Lyon Part Dieu and clean - highly recommended!
Really relaxed and comfy place. Quiet, access to kitchen n large dining area. Staff were great until the guy slept in n I nearly missed my bus. Lucky was ok.
Very easy to reach this hostel if to know this one is located opposite metro station exit (sortie). There is no need to ask. Otherwise you can miss it. Corner brassery "Barbès" is the main place to orient oneself and to take a cup of tasty espresso. If you walk little bit further 30m parallely train route along arabian cafes you will discover Jacobs Inn!. I recommend ...
I thought the hostel is small but this hostel is so big and lively. Moreover, the location is also nice. I was able to go to everywhere from the nearest station, colognel fabien. Breakfast, Bar, other services was nice for me. I wish I would stay at this hostel when I come to France again in the future.
Not bad one for the cheap price, walking distance to the harbour
No cons overall as it is a great rat stay for me. Helpful and and cheerful staffs there made my stay easier
I highly recommend l'hôtel la Belle Meunière! The staff is very friendly and service minded and the room was nice and clean. I stayed in a room with three other people and we had our own bathroom. The room was cleaned every day. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom and shower worked very well and we had a nice air conditioner in the room. Me and my friend spend severa...
easily accessible by metro, in the beautiful neighborhood of montmartre away from the bigger hustle and bustle of central paris, fruit shops and many restaurants/cafes nearby, a stones throw from the moulin rouge... i book my stay exclusively here every time i come to paris. recent renovations have left the hostel fresh, sleek, contemporary, and inviting. great for sol...
I was there for only 1 night. The price is cheap in Paris. The best part is that they provide a safe for you to keep your things in a city like Paris, you will not want to bring all ur valuable stuff with you. The breakfast was good. A small miscommunication happen where by i initially wanted to book a taxi for the next morning for I'm catching a bus to Amsterdam but ...
My stay was astounding. By far the BEST hostel in Nice! If you stay at Faubourg Montmartre Guest House--expect 5-star treatment, great facilities, provide guests with very good hospitality. You won't be disappointed if you book a bed here. Give them a try, see how you can experience NICE in a truly unforgettable time.
We booked online a family room for 31 euros. We paid 5 euros each for breakfast. It was great value for money. The hotel has no staff after 11 each day til 6pm, which we found unusual, but the check in service at the security gate was very easy, so we got our key card to our room and were able to get in without issues. There are plenty of eating places within 2 minut...

Would totally recommend BOB hotel to all travelers. The rooms were all very well designed and modern. 1 min walk away from the metro station. Nearby there are many cafes, restaurant, eateries, supermarket. Located in a great location. Must say it is my best stay throughout my entire Europe trip. Very clean and worth the money! would definitely be back again!
Proximity to landmarks Louvre, Palais Royal, Les Halles, Rue Saint Honore Shopping, Place Vendome, Palais Garnier, Galleries LaFayette... also in close proximity to a lot of restaurants and convenience stores.. it was really east to get around... rooms are spacious, friendly staff, the interior of the hotel has a special charm, the room given to me has a very nice view...
Very nice hotel next to the Croisette in my opinion the best value for money in Cannes
First I have to say that I would never book with Agoda again. They overcharged me, and caused me considerable aggravation in trying to get a refund, which after numerous emails, they finally agreed. The hotel is in a wonderful location, within a few minutes walk of some of the best museums, art galleries and sites of Paris. It is also close to lots of shops. The...
If you planned to stay for more than a couple of days (since there is a kitchen in the room, in case you want to cook something) and wish to enjoy the Eiffle Tower view in bedtime. This is a place, but you have to specify the room with Eiffle Tower view. Mr. Alexis is one of the great staffs I am impressed, all of them are great in assiting. Plus, the metro station ...
This hotel is very nice place. Easy to find the Chinese food for the person who don't like a bread. The MRT exit way is near by the hotel and Starbuck also. Wifi is too slow. I should pay the France tax [ im not sure how to call that tax] before check out
We booked a superior double room, it had plenty of space for our 2 large suitcases. The bed was comfortable. We had a forward facing room and had a view of the top of the Eiffel Tower. The front office staff were extremely helpful and professional. They always had a smile and were happy to answer any of our questions. The Metro is literally outside the hotel which was ...
I was delighted we booked this hotel. The rooms were incredibly quiet, clean + beds were comfortable, perfect for my mum + sisters. Facilities in the hotel are very basic but that didn't make a difference to us. One touch I really liked was the provision of all kinds of water from a machine and hard sweets free of charge. The location is very good in the opera distric...
We stayed in room 22 and I’m glad I spent a little extra on it. The view is spectacular. There is a balcony and you can surely enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine!!! The rooms are spacious. The bathroom clean. The staff are very courteous. We arrived early however the very sweet lady at the reception let is check in early! The breakfast was good. The lady and the you...
I travelled with a friend. Both of us had separate rooms and we are respectively had an amazing experience. I had at the hotel the best hotel bedding I have ever experienced. Very, very good value. Squeakyclean. Amazing location. Can only recommend this place.
We really enjoyed staying at this little hotel. It is on a small side but I think it is ok by Paris standard. We had room for 2 big suitcases and a tiny sitting area overlooking the street below. The best thing about this hotel is its location. It is a walking distance to several attractions in the area and a lot of choices for restaurants too.
i thoroughly enjoyed my stay at beauchamps hotel, paris. the front desk was helpful in arranging an early check-in for me after a 14 hour flight so that i can freshen up before my 12noon meeting & i was pleasantly surprised to discover the cup of caffe i had in the restaurant while waiting for the room was complimentary! also a delight to know that my luggage was se...
"Excellent Hotel and Staff" This is one of the best hotels we stayed in. Room was large with a sitting area with a couch. The room was very, very clean and modern. The staff at the front desk was very friendly, helpful and professional. They even gave us a bottle of water for being a Choice Hotel member. The lobby was nice and clean. Breakfast area was large.

Amazing hotel. Was our return to Canne after 14 years with two children. Spent the previous fortnight travelling in France. Staff were amazing especially Yssam at the bar. Super polite and made the best Moscow mule on the planet. Kid’s club staff were also some of the best we have encountered in all our travels.
Great Staff. Very friendly and helpful. Great Location. The hotel provide self-service laundry facility (washing machine/ dryer). Very good if you stay in France for a week or more.
The room was perfect. It was big enough to fit all three of our large luggages. The staff were very helpful in all aspects and they speak English very well. I love how you need your room card in order to enter the hotel itself, the elevator, the stairs and the room. It seemed perfectly safe which I feel is not usual around other hotels especially boutique hotels. The l...
Extremely comfortable bed (and I have many back issues). Two small saunas, one for men, one for women but no mixed sauna and no space at all to relax between two sauna sessions — unusual small space for a 5 stars hotel.
the hotel was clean and quite nice , also the staff was good/responsive, but they need to improve some things: wifi was very poor, bathrobes were of terrible quality, no place to hang towel, walls kind of thin so noisy, chairs and table in room were meant for a dwarf, rug looked very cheap, and room service mention was very limited.
Excellent hotel - convenient location, walking distance to Champs Elysees and all main attractions (Grand Palais, Eiffel Tower etc); fantastic staff performance (the receptionist called France was very helpful and efficient), the bellboy delivered our bags to our room before checking in; rooms were clean and well maintained. Overall one of the best hotels we've stayed ...
Great location with comfortable accommodations. Breakfast is average. Fitness center is limited, but does the job should outdoors not be available.
We had a fun time in Sofitel. Best dining and shops are walking distance from the hotel. The hotel is located in front of Buddha Bar and beside the US Embassy. Very safe location.
Really nice hotel in a great position for central nice and the old town. Excellent staff. My only criticism is that the indoor pool was not heated anything like enough. It needs checking daily and adjusting when necessary. It is not the point that it’s connected to the outdoor via a plastic cover and that’s why it cold. It simply needs turning up the heat to make like...
The hotel was very good with stunning views and lots of different places around the hotel to relax - short uphill walk to Mougins
Rooms are small, but they are the same everywhere in Paris. The decor is beautiful, neatly done rooms. Looks like it has been refurbished recently. Bathrooms are also small but functional. Only thing missing is a tea and coffee maker in the room. The rooms also have AC, which a lot of hotels do not have.The concierge was not the best we have had, was suggesting places ...
This is 5 star hotel and there is no hot water in the evening. We stayed 6 nights prepaid. First two nights on 6th floor we had to endure cold showers then we were moved to 4th floor and two out of four final nights luke warm showers. We are unsure if lower floors 1-3 are also affected. Pleasant but inane front desk and management excuses, but no recompense. Their ...
The Buddha Bar Hotel provides a most delightful contemporary atmosphere with 'Asian Fusion' theme-quite unique & unexpected amid the usual classical lines of Paris ! Our three day visit was absolutely enhanced by the willingness of all staff to provide first class service from the moment we arrived-although I had booked our Deluxe room on line we were shown 3 available...
I stayed in an executive room for 2 nights. I found the room small for an executive room and the carpet was stained. For a 5 star hotel I had to carry own bag to my room. On the plus side the location is great and saved a lot on taxis. The is a metro station close by which we found great and definitely the best way to travel around Paris
Great location. Great deco. Very nice staff.
I think it's a little bit expensive regarding room size and hotel size. The elevator was a little old as well. However, the AC inside the room was so cool which I would recommend to the people who prefer to be in colde temperature. The staffs are so nice. I would give them 10 stars. The location was close to the shopping street but still, we had to walk for 5 minutes. ...
Great location to experience the best part part of Paris
Boutique hotel in a great location. Room spacious with separate toilet (depending on room) with standard amenities for a 5 star hotel: room service, bar and restaurant . Staff friendly and helpful. Clean rooms. Safe district. Plenty of bistros at your doorstep and a supermarket across the hotel opened until midnight.
Stayed with 2 kids on a weekend. We had a wonderful stay! Good- Best location for shopping and sightseeing. walking distance for Opera, Madlaine, Concord. Nice bar(Buddha bar or Bar at Hotel de Crillon) is on the corner. Beautiful interior throughout small but cozy lobby and lounge. Room is well maintain and also very quiet at night. could it be better -Breakfast. ...
