Best Western Etoile Saint Honore - Paris, France     

We stayed twice across 2 different trips to the city. The hotel is on Rue du Faubourg and is in walking distance to the Champs Eleysee. The staff was friendly, but not very organized. We arrived early at 9:30AM and had to wait until 3PM for a room, but the room was large, and well maintained. When planning the trip, I couldn't find anything definite about Paris hotels, so I wanted to say that this hotel is a good value, and everything works. No plumbing problems which plague France, no nasty, stuffy conceirge, just fun. Lounge off the lobby serves drinks, coffee or whatever you need as long as there is a bellhop around. Taxis come when called, even when a strike is threatened as happened on our trip. Out the hotel to the right is a small place for breakfast (Mi Do Re), which was excellent. The staff speaks no English, but you just point, and they get it. We also stayed at a Best Western in Cannes, and it too was lovely. Have a great trip.

When we decided to visit Paris we had no idea where to stay. I read numerous reviews of different hotels warning against small rooms and high prices. I have stayed at quite a lot of Best Westerns and have never had to complain so choose this hotel for location and price. The hotel is within walking distance of many tube stations so we very easy to find on arrival. Check-in went very smoothly and took less than a minute so we where happy. We went up to our room and where nicely surprised, it was clean and a reasonable size. When had a television and mini bar (which was stocked!) . We also had a kettle with tea and coffee so we where well catered for. The bathroom was also very clean and looked pretty new, it even had complimentary amenities. Now I am not claiming this is four star as it definetly isn't however for the price and the amount of time we actually spent there it was well worth the money. From the hotel you can walk to the Arc D'Triomphe and also the Champs Elysees quite easily. We even walked to the effiel tower however if your not into walking the tube may be better for this. The hotel automatically adds breakfast to your room bill however will remove it if not taken. We had breakfast out each day so I don't know what it was like however it did seem expensive. One little tip there is a Chinese Restaurant on the Rue D Washington which is not to be missed, they have lots of Koi Carp under the glass floor it is brilliant! One thing also to share is that because we travelled in August a lot of the French restaurants where closed which was a little dissapointing. If you are looking for a clean, reasonable priced hotel in Paris this is for you.
