Top France Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel De Turin

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing! I've never stayed anywhere this clean, well located, and with such a friendly staff for this price in Paris. Incredible!"

Les Patios du Marais

8/10 Good

"--- Great location in Le Marais, close to cafés, shops and sights. The room was clean on arrival. However, it was extremely small, much smaller than the photos suggest. The property is quite old, some fittings felt fragile, and there was no lock on the bathroom door. Good for a short stay if location is your priority. More accurate photos would help. ---"

Villa Montmartre - Nouvellement rénovée

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located just 5-10 mins away from Gare de Nord metro. There's basic coffee/tea machine in the reception tho it looks dull and old. The receptionist Marcus is welcoming which is good. Our room is on the 2nd floor with a view of the road.The room is decent size and comes with a kitchenette, with kitchen utensils.fridge/freezer .quite a few shops nearby which is handy.and bus stops It could be noisy at night due to nearby bars."

Hôtel Vacances Bleues Provinces Opéra

8/10 Good

"Great location so many cafes and restaurants near by. Breakfast was lovely and let us prepare for the day. Staff friendly. Rooms were fine no issues apart from hairdryers which were awful, last less than 1 minute then cut out for a few minutes. 3 ladies trying to dry hair was not easy. Just missing a bar which would have been perfect. Would come again."
