"Nous étions avec nos 2 petits enfants dans cet endroit réservé Séjour réservé pour 2 nuits Résultat: Dormit 1 nuit dans notre voiture et rendu le bateau le lendemain matin Difficulté à trouver l'endroit Une passerelle pas sécurisée pour atteindre le bateau Un bateau pour 4 personnes, c'est excessif tant l'espace est petit A l'intérieur des araignées et des toiles partout Une odeur nauséabonde avec des sanitaires précaires, nous devions aller dans des toilettes publiques à la turc, plus...

Top France Hotel Reviews

citizenM Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Room was cleaned, helpful staff and good breakfast"

Les Patios du Marais

8/10 Good

"Accommodation was ok, although it did not look anything like the photos. Also had to clean the sofa before making the bed which was not ideal on the first day. The flat was small & compact and not ideal for anyone over 5ft really. The toilet and separate shower rooms very small & tight. Very basic set up in the kitchen but had everything needed to make a meal if needed. One big thing missing was any air conditioning, being at the top was very hot and only had 3 small fans. No natural daylight into the flat as when kitchen window is opening it’s blocked by growing plants. Window in lounge also did not open well due to sofa being in the way. Very tight and awkward mezzanine floor to get to the bed on hands and knees A smalls and very tight steps up to the 2nd bedroom but this could be accessed by another door. As a base to stay it was ok for a short trip."

Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel

10/10 Excellent

"Novotel Hotel Paris Centre was conveniently located a 20 minute walk to Eiffel Tower and to the mall. The hotel property and room was clean. The staff was very helpful. The property had 2 wonderful restaurants. A clean gym and swimming pool. Definitely a great experience. We would definitely stay there again."

Aparthotel Adagio Paris Centre Tour Eiffel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfecto para familias, son como pequeños piso ( apartamentos) muy cómodos, bastante espacio. Para una familia de 4, cama y sofá Cana muy cómodos. Cocina equipada y lo mejor son las vistas, la tenía parcial hacia la torre, pero igual de cualquier lado tienes vista hacia todo paris. Hermoso. Muy cerca de la torre y lugar muy seguro. Recoemndado"
