"Based on my knowledge from the pictures of the hotel I was expecting very dated decor and furniture, but after reading a number of recent reviews I realised the place had been refurbished - and I can happily stay the place looks stunning now, everything is so clean and fresh!
Rooms are small but the beds are incredibly comfortable (much needed with tired legs after a day of walking around the city) and everything you need is in there. I forked out for the Deluxe room with the view of the Eiffel Tower and it was definitely worth it - you see from the second floor of the tower to the top so it is an obscured view, but you still see a lot of it and it looks beautiful in the evening.
The only thing I'd say give a miss is the breakfast (at least the sit down one) it's €18 each and it's a pretty basic French buffet (although good quality, just not as much choice as I thought, i.e. no hot food) - you could go for the cheaper €8 express breakfast which you take away with you or simply have a walk down the road and you'll find a number of little cafes to have some breakfast or just pick up a cafe au lait and pain au chocolat.
I went for my girlfriend's birthday and she loved it. Bear in mind this is a hotel literally right next to the Eiffel tower, so it may seem expensive but there are probably worse hotels nearby charging more per night. Staff speak English, and are very warm and friendly. The hotel itself is not set up as a place to 'live in' for the weekend, but if you are going to Paris simply to stay in a hotel you've chosen the wrong place to go - there's just to much to do in the city to be lounging about in your hotel room.
I'd definitely stay here again!"
