Arioso - Paris, France 

"An oasis of calm"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We found ourselves checked-in at a disappointing so-called three-star hotel (two stars would have been pushing it). A quick tour of the neighbourhood streets yielded only fully-booked hotels, when we spotted the Arioso down a nondescript sidestreet. Not only did they have room but the rates were decent and were upgraded to a Superior room (with a balcony). The staff were young and helpful, the room very pleasant, quiet and comfortably furnished. The bathroom had quality fittings and a clean all-white suite. Not a central location but within walking distance of the Champs Elysee, Madeleine and the Haussmann shops. Probably not worth four stars as no restaurant and limited facilities but to be recommended.

Definitely recommended - for the right price

We had a really nice stay at Arioso. The rooms were newly refurbished, modern and very clean. Granted the rooms were fairly small, as one of the other reviews said, but not by Parisien standards. The staff were excellent and it was a great location. We managed to get a deal on their site by booking consecutive nights, though believe the 'usual' prices quoted are a bit of a rip off. We would definitely stay there again; but not for full price.

very friendly and competent management

Average, but could be cheaper

I like the room alot, I do not think it's small as written in other review, instead, the rooms are newly renovated, especially the balconies & windows are in very classic french style. I had great sleep there. However, I think the staffs are not very helpful, probably because the hotel is small, and they have only 1 staff on duty at night. The lift is big enough for 4 people at least, and I heard from a friend of mine saying that is the largest lift she've never seen in Paris hotels. Honestly I think it is a very nice hotel with a walking distance to Champs Elyees & La Fayette, for sure i'll stay there again! Since I went during the peak seasons, i think the rooms are a bit pricy though...
