Melia Royal Alma - Paris, France     

My daughter and I stayed at the Melia Royal Alma Hotel for three nights in May 2008. We found the hotel to be exceptionally clean, and the staff to be out-of-their-way kind and friendly. They were helpful in every way to make our stay a pleasant one. Yes, the rooms are on the small side. This is Paris. However, they are quiet, restful, and very well appointed. The bathroom was spotless, and all toiletries were offered. There was an abundance of towels. Breakfast was extraordinary for such a small hotel. A vast assortment of fruits, cereals, and pastries were available, as well as hot foods. Our waitress helped us with our elementary French, and we all had a good laugh. Water, infused with mint leaves, was available daily in the lobby. My daughter and I were glad to have such a pleasant room, and hotel atmosphere awaiting us at the end of a long day of sight-seeing. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again.

After we went to Disneyland Paris, we wanted to stay a few nights in the city centre of Paris as well. I am really so glad we choose this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect. If you walk out of the hotel and look to your left, you can directly see the Eiffel Tower. Lots of nice restaurants and terraces in the neighboorhood. Also just 10 minutes walking to world-famous Champs Elysees. The staff is really perfect and willing to do almost anything you need. Breakfast had lots of choice, and when they were out of something, you could ask and had it in 5 minutes. The rooms are really boutique/old french, with a modern bathroom. Room was also well cleaned every day! On my next trip to Paris definately this hotel again!
