4-Star Hotels in Paris

The hotel's design aesthetic is truly on point, with French-inspired decor. I chose a room with a separate living area, and while the living room was spacious, it did compromise the size of the sleeping area. The sleeping alcove felt a bit cramped, and once my luggage was in, there wasn't much room to move around. The location for getting around is a plus, with easy access to the subway. The only downside is that there aren't many restaurant options on the streets immediately surrounding the hotel, making it a bit inconvenient to grab a quick bite nearby. You have to walk a bit further to find more dining choices.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! The room was super clean, and it had everything I needed: air conditioning, a kettle, and a hairdryer. The location is also really convenient and safe, as it's in a residential area. On our first day, I had ordered a cake to be delivered to the hotel as a surprise for my partner's birthday. They were incredibly helpful and carefully stored it for me. The front desk staff even waited until my partner went upstairs before bringing the cake up, just to make sure the surprise wasn't ruined 😉 And here's the best part: the French staff are so thoughtful! They noticed I only had the cake and thought it looked a bit plain, so they prepared a tray and candles for me. The staff member from the front desk even brought the cake with the lit candle to our room door. The surprise was a huge success, and I'm so grateful!

The hotel's location is excellent, and the staff are very welcoming. They even provided hot water for me before check-in time on the day I arrived. My room was cleaned thoroughly every day. As a Chinese person, having hot water from the self-service dispenser on the first floor is a huge plus and very comfortable! The view from the balcony is fantastic, truly showcasing French charm! I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Paris!

It was a quiet place, a 10-minute walk from Place de la Concorde and with access to two stations. The room was very cute and the view of the Parisian buildings was relaxing. The amenities were also very good, including slippers and bathrobes. The staff were also kind. The shower had hot water in the morning, but not at night, which was a bit disappointing.

Was keen to experience the “real Paris“ so wasn’t 100% sure what kind of experience we would have, especially at a hotel that we hadn’t stayed at before… However was so pleasantly surprised with a very warm welcome and quick check-in process, and ultimately a stunning hotel room. Took a short five minute walk around the area and stumbled on a cobblestone Lane of Great bars and restaurants where we spent our evening. Location to Central Paris isn’t ideal but definitely worth being able to see more of Paris.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Artus Hotel and I was lucky to chance upon this hotel during my search. There are so many options and recommendations out there. I'm glad I chose this hotel for my maiden trip to Paris. First, the location. I can walk to the major landmarks like River Seine, Louvre, 'Dorsay museum, Notre Dame, etc. It is located close to St Germaine, so there are many charming streets to roam about and many options for food and supplies. I feel safe wandering around on my own as a solo female traveller. Second, the place is tastefully decorated. I like my room which has windows that overlook the streets as well as the decor. The bed is so comfortable that I slept very well during the three nights I was there. The housekeeping staff also kept the room clean and I like that the hotel embraces environmental practices. The only thing is that the yellow lights in the room can be a bit dim, but the white light used in the bathroom is bright. Third, the staff. I was greeted by a lady when I checked in and she is so understanding, patient and nice with me. I would like to commend her for her great personality and attitude, but I missed getting her name. The other staff I met are equally friendly and nice (two young ladies, one named Li/Yang; and another gentleman). Even if they don't know something, they will look up the information for me. They will also provide me with recommendations. I also must compliment the driver who picked me up from the airport and drove me to the airport (hotel transfers). He is very polite and considerate and he makes me feel at ease when i was travelling in his car. Even the gentleman who helped me with my luggage wore a big smile on his face. Thank you to everyone I've met during my stay and which made my experience a pleasant one. I learned only on my last day that they have another sister hotel a few steps away. One of the staff recognized me and invited me to take a look inside. Again, the place is tastefully done. If I have a chance to be back in Paris, I will check out both Artus Hotel as well as this hotel. I would also like to take this opportunity to make a request to the guests who are going to stay in the hotel - let's make an effort to treat the room as if it is our own. That way, the hotel will stay in a good condition for a longer time and future guests will get to enjoy the stay as much as I did. Thank you :)

Close to the metro station, and there's a police station right across the street, which made me feel extra safe, especially on the day the French team was playing. The room size was okay; two adults and two kids could just about manage to open two suitcases. Breakfast was quite good for European standards, though they didn't change up the selection much. I had seen reviews mentioning no air conditioning, so I specifically confirmed by email and through Trip.com that it had AC, which it did. However, it doesn't get as cold as AC in China. A big shout-out to the water dispenser by the elevator on each floor – being able to get sparkling water was awesome!

I stayed for 7 days. The location is excellent, and I felt at ease knowing that English was spoken.✨ **Location:** It's within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue des Champs-Élysées, meaning there are tons of train and bus lines available! You can even get to the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland without any transfers. Access to Charles de Gaulle Airport is also good, taking about 50 minutes by train or 35 minutes by car. I also went to Orly Airport for one night to visit Nice. You can get to the airport line (CDG, ORLY) with just one transfer, so the location is truly fantastic. **Amenities:** Water and potato chips were provided daily. Tea and a kettle were also available, which was a nice touch. There are no toothbrushes, pajamas, or slippers. I brought my own slippers to use in the room. I never quite figured out why some days there were no chips or water (lol). **Cleanliness:** Bed making was done meticulously every day. It seems towels are only replaced if left on the floor; they weren't replaced on days I left them on the shelf.

Ohhhh, it’s good deal actually, near the tower with that price, but we almost cannot book the tower view hotel unless you book it before 1 year, by the way, you can see the tower when you have the breakfast in the hotel. The service is maybe good, if you need a can opener, you have to pay the service 10 euros. I would like to pay10 even 20 euros, but I don’t like to be pushed.

Very horrible hotel for black female travellers. I stayed at the Originals with my friend for 3 nights, then another 2 nights. We pre-booked and paid for the 3 nights in FULL before arrival. Upon arrival, we were charged a deposit of €150 Euros which was explained to be a security deposit to be returned after checkout.I had no issues with that and focused on exploring Paris. There was a day my room wasn’t cleaned and I complained to a mixed lady at the hotel reception politely to inform the cleaner and she condescendingly looked at me and blurted “I’m not the cleaner”. I never asked her to be one, I only informed her so she can tell the cleaners to make a stop at my room and refill the shower gel, replace soap and toilet paper. The day I checked out, I missed my flight due to the Paris traffic and had to reschedule my flight to the next available date which was in 48 hours which meant I needs to stay in Paris for another 2 nights. I headed back to the hotel. I don’t know why but our cards refused to work despite being funded. We had some Euros cash left in cash and paid for one extra night. The next day, we asked to extend but our cards wouldn’t work. We informed them that we needed to get some sleep but would try an ATM or go to a BDC to change some Dollars. In between, the cleaner came to the room and yanked off our key card cutting off the light supply, we were barraged with calls from the reception threatening that security was going to escort us out of the room. It’s wild because most of their staff is black and yet they treated us like ****. We saw how white guests were treated and black guests and the difference was clear. Maybe they had an assumption and became discriminatory towards us. Note that 4 nights out of 5 was already paid in FULL and they had a security deposit of over 200 Euros with them. We had to abandon everything and rush to an ATM to withdraw more cash💰 to pay for the final day. Let’s not get into the fact that one of their staff ******* almost tried to be ****** with me. I got into the elevator to go and get water at the restaurant on the 8th floor, he kept looking at my boobs and made suggestive comments about wanting to spend the night with me. He also insisted on a hug. I cried from the experience of that hotel and very horrified. As a travel content creator, I will document my experience with videos when I’m back home and share YouTube videos. If you’re a Nigerian or black woman, please avoid THE ORIGINALS. I was excited to be here but it turned into a nightmare. As a business owner myself and CEO of 3 thriving companies, I saw some many lapses in their customer service. The entire place needs a staff overhaul.
