Saphir Grenelle - Paris, France     

Stayed at this hotel for the world cup rugby, it was very well priced, 5 mins walk from the Eifel tower and situated in a small neighbourhood with friendly bars and restaurants. Staff was pleasant and helpful and rooms were clean although bathroom was small and in my room in need of an upgrade. If staying try to stay in the rear hotel rooms as these are more up to date. It may not be 5 star but it is good value for money considering location and price and if it just somewhere to lay your head at the end of a day sightseeing I think you maybe pushed to find something similar.

We stayed during 3 days at the Saphir Grenelle and returned quite happy from our trip. Pro's : The price of the hotel is excellent. We managed to get it for 65 € which is quite nice for Paris. The location of the hotel is also great. Please note that the nearest metro is unavailable until September 13th due to constructions at the metro station. But the next metro station on the same line is also within walking distance so we managed to explore the city perfectly. The people at the frontdesk were also really friendly and helpfull. Con's : The room we got was quite small and this goes also for the bathroom. I haven't been in such a small hotelroom before but it didn't really bother us as the room had all the comfort we needed and it was also very clean. There isn't any "luggage room" so if you leave the hotel and want them to keep your luggage for a while it is just placed in a public hall near to the frontdesk. I didn't like that too much.
