Villa Eugenie - Paris, France     

We read the previous reviews and were scepitcal about staying here, we should not have been, the hotel whilst a smaller type of city centre hotel it was excellent. The hotel was so good for transport links, simply walk out the door a catch a Number 31 Bus and 5 minutes later you are at the Arc de Triumph, which is a great "hub" to connect to all Metro lines. This was so easy to get around. The rooms are not huge but are clean and tidy, we did not notice any excessive noise coming from the streets. The breakfast was excellent!!! lots of choice and well presented. PS. Buy the Paris Metro Visitor Ticket, which gives you unlimited trave, bus, metro, ReR within the city, for 3 days ours was only 19 euros, great value! We would happily stay there again.

Unfortunately my first trip to Paris was spoiled when my boyfriend's mobile phone and all my money were stolen from our bedroom when we went down to breakfast. We were only away from the room for 20 minutes and came back to find that someone had been in our bedroom and taken our things. There was no forced entry suggesting that it must have been someone connected to the hotel. The staff weren't particularly helpful and didn't offer us any compensation - not even a reduction on the bill. My boyfriend and I were left to try and salvage what was left of the weekend (after spending 3 hours at the police station), without any money and despite several letters, we've not heard anything from the hotel since....So if you're going to book at this hotel, don't assume that locking your bedroom door will be enough to keep your belongings safe.
