Posted: Wed, May 20 2009
This hotel is the best place, in all of Europe, that we stayed at on our vacation. EXCELLENT location next to the train station which was a single train to Louvre and Arch de Triomphe(?). The hotel staff was great, curtious, funny and very helpful. Great restaurant(s) around the corner, and relatively close to the highway if driving a vehicle. Free wireless internet access was great, the rooms were VERY clean and very nice. WOULD DEFINITELY recommend this place to anyone staying, for its a great deal and a good location. I will be staying there again, on my next trip to Paris for certain!

My wife and I enjoyed my stay very much here. The staff was very cordial and helpful. I needed a power adapter and Stephen went out and got one for me. (Unlike other travelers, I did return it to him) The room was excellent. We did not eat there because my wife has a wheat allergy and we had to look for other meals, so I cannot attest for any dining. But we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you Staff at Au Grande Hotel Francais! ANd in case they do not see this I am sending a letter direct to them as well. Merci beaucoup!

Excellent Choice

This hotel was fantastic. The room was clean and well put together. The concierge was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel is located close to the metro, which makes getting around the city easy. There are plenty of wonderful bakeries on the street for breakfast and a a few great local restaurants. I would definitely stay again!

Great hotel, DO NOT RENT A CAR!!! Metro next door

Great hotel, super clean and only about 50 feet from a metro station, which will take you everywhere in Paris. The staff of the hotel was very friendly and eficient, the room was super clean, everything was in working order and the housekeeping service was excellent as well. PAY ATTENTION!!!! THE BREAKFAST FOR ONLY 10 EUROS A DAY IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! :O) Will stay there again next time and surely recommend this hotel to everyone who is going to stay in Paris. There were plenty of restaurants nearby, grocery stores and of course, the Metro.

Front desk service was above and beyond the usual.

I recently stayed at the Grand Hotel Francais for five nights with my 14 year old grandson. The room was recently renovated and was spotless with modern amenities - flat screen tv, automated wake-up call, shower with jets, and mini refrigerator. The bedding was very comfortable and the room was sound proof. There was some outside traffic noise but I always carry a battery operated sound machine which drowns out the traffic. The staff was very pleasant and helpful they definitely offered the best front desk help that I have ever received while traveling in the US and Internationally. The hotel is convenient to two Metro stops - Nation and Rue des Boulets. We preferred Rue des Boulets which is two minutes from the hotel and we would often transfer on the Metro line to line 9 so that we could get off there. There is a grocery store directly across the street and several restaurants in the immediate area. The Post Office is around the corner and is a good place to exchange money to euros.
