Horset Washington - Paris, France     

The suites were a reasonable size -complete with some rather bizzare wood decorations that give the room an 80s look. As Hotels in Paris go its typical although I agree the lift was the smallest in the history of lifts. Staff were helpful, position was good and quiet. The Frenchmen in the tiny convenience store a few steps up the street was very helpful.

The hotel is well located for central Paris, short walk to Champs Elysees and Arc de triomphe. Very typical Parisian bar next door which makes up for the lack of a bar and restaurant in the hotel itself. Also very close to a bank with an ATM. The rooms are small, bathroom was adequate but the shower was not the greatest. As there was only a small breakfast room and no other facilities of note (eg previously mentioned lack of bar) it is not apparent how this gets a 4 star rating when there are 3 star hotels in the same area that compare favourably. I would quite happily stay there again which must say something!
