Top France Hotel Reviews

ibis Paris CDG Airport

10/10 Excellent

"If you have a morning flight from CDG, this is the perfect spot for the night before. Steps away from the train station and airport tram, good food and service in the restaurants and nice outdoor area for walking. Very nice hotel and so convenient for flying out."

Aparthotel Adagio Paris Centre Tour Eiffel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect accommodation for my purposes. I was traveling with my mother, and we needed a reasonale amount of personal space. We also required a place to have a casual meal, and a space to sit and talk. The Adagio met and, indeed, exceeded these specifics. The kitchen had a cooktop, microwave and diswasher (oddly no toaster) in addition to a Nespresso coffee maker and electric kettle. Plenty of dinnerware, and everything I needed to slice bread, make sandwiches, etc. The bathroom was really large--a huge surprise for me. Paris hotel bathrooms are usually little more than the size of the fixtures themselves with maybe a square foot for one to stand! The beds were extremely comfortable. The bedding was high quality. The location is pretty convenient, depending on your mobility and patience. The ten minute walk to the two closest metro stops wasn't a big deal for me, but it did wear on my 80-year old mother. On the other hand, there are two useful bus lines--one a few blocks away and the other right in front of the property! Don't hesitate to take the bus! The staff was very nice, although I didn't need to interact much with them during my seemless stay. The only significant problem I'd report is the elevators. There aren't enough for the number of rooms and at least one was out of order at various times of my stay. I'd definitely stay here again if I was traveling with another person."

Residence du Parc - Val D'Europe

8/10 Good

"The proximity to Disney and the fact that there was a bus stop right in front of the hotel made this the perfect off property place to stay. My only complaint was the bed was absolutely horrible. The breakfast was fantastic! Overall, I would stay here again if ever visiting Disneyland Paris."

Les Jardins du Marais

10/10 Excellent

"I was very happy with my stay. The hotel is made up of several buildings, I stayed in the “Eiffel” building. It seemed there were likely differences in the rooms between buildings. Everything was clean and professional. The staff were all helpful and nice. There’s a bar and restaurant as well as several other amenities I didn’t try myself but it was nice that they were there. The shower was a bit small. Really it was a bathtub made into a shower. It wasn’t too bad but might be hard to navigate. Overall the important stuff was all very easy and pleasurable."

Novotel Paris Les Halles

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was in an excellent location. Lots of cafés and restaurants within walking distance. A metro station was just steps away from the front entrance. The front desk staff spoke perfect English and were very helpful. Loved the Nespresso machine in our room. The hotel robes and slippers were a nice touch! Would definitely stay there again!!!"
