Hotel Waldorf Arc de Triomphe - Paris, France     

My partner and I chose this hotel as a getaway for my birthday. This hotel enjoys a good location for sightseeing. We found the room small and a bit dark. The bathroom was tiny and the shower took a while before the water became hot. We found the hotel staff all very friendly and helpful. My partner requested smoked salmon (as I don't eat meat) and they served it for my breakfast - but we paid extra for this. Whenever we asked the hotel reception about water - he would always tell us to use the mini bar which we didn't as it was very expensive! We bought 3 large bottles of water for 3 Euros instead of 10 Euros for a small bottle of water! The staff at breakfast were always very helpful and friendly. I think if you try and communicate in the little French you may possess it all helps. There was a misunderstanding at the hotel when my partner bought me a dozen red roses and asked the florist to send them to the hotel and ask the staff to put into a vase. When we arrived back at the hotel the roses were indeed in a vase but no-one had added any water to the vase! City hotel rooms are usually small and my partner and I were out most of the time sightseeing and eating out. This hotel was clean, centrally located with nice staff.

Very nice hotel, cool rooms, excellent breakfast, superb location. The only thing against is how hot is in the rooms, please lower the central heating! The decor of the rooms is also very tasteful. Staff friendly too.
