Chateaubriand - Paris, France     

I stayed here for two nights on business. The exterior of the hotel is still being updated, so there was not a sign for the hotel. The location is good. It is a quiet street close to many restaurants and shopping. Inside the lobby is clean and inviting. The desk staff is more than willing to help, and they were very easy to deal with. They were probably the highlight of my experience. They were able to get me a taxi when it seemed there wasn't one available in the entire city. The room was spacious and appeared to have been update not too long ago. The bathroom was fine, however there was not any soap the day I checked in. It could also have been a little cleaner. The walls are paper thin, and you can hear everything your neighbor is doing. Breakfast was OK, however it is severely overpriced for what you get. The breakfast area downstairs has recently been redone, and breakfast in your room is also possible. Overall it was OK, however I have stayed in nicer hotels in Paris.

It looks like this hotel needs a new review! I love this hotel. The location is excellent. I have stayed here for years. It's what I call a European Boutique hotel...small enough for them to know who is coming and going and very personal. The hotel has been sold and it is being totally updated. The faces were new to me but I was treated like they had known me for years. There is some construction going on but not unbearable. The rooms are small but they are lovely. They have breakfast downstairs or you can have it delivered to your room. I find breakfast is expensive at most hotels and it is always better to go out and get some....if anyone needs a picture of the hotel I have a very nice one of the room. I will continue to go back!!!
