"Great central location for Eiffel Tower, River Seine, Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees."

Pleasant and helpful staff. Great for the main attractions. Easy to get to by either shuttle bus or by train. Some great cafes and bistros nearby. Quiet on a night so you can get some sleep so you`re ready for a busy day. 10 minutes walk from the Tower, the River etc. Would definitely stay here again.

"Elysees Union is a very comfortable hotel with friendly staff who gave us valuable information"

on sight-seeing around Paris. The hotel was located in central Paris, which was an added bonus to our stay. When I return to Paris in the future, I will definitely book this hotel again.

The hotel was in a nice position for seeing the Eiffel Tower and at night it looked lovely lit up.The Arc De Triomphe was 10 mins away as well and it was handy for the Metro, and Restaurants. The bedrooms were clean and nicely decorated, and the other rooms were nice as well. I would recommend this Hotel and the staff were helpful and friendly aswell.

"Small, friendly hotel in good location, walking distance to Eiffel Tower"

Room was small but well kept and in good order, breakfast area was a bit small for the hotel perhaps, in the summer, if they use the outdoor area, this wouldn`t be such a problem. Overall we would recomend it.

"Paris"

I stayed at the Elysees Union last weekend as part of a group. The hotel staff were all very helpful and spoke English. The hotel is very central with an amazing view of the Eifel Tower, which was only a 10 minute walk away. Close to the metro and parking nearby, although it was 25 euros per 24 hr stay. The breakfast was included in our rate and was very good. The rooms were nice, clean and quite modern with a flat screen TV, and a balcony where you could stand and see the illuminated Eifel Tower!I would recommend the hotel to others and hope to go back for a longer stay in the future.

"Excellent location for all the sights"

the Elysees is in an excellent location for all the Paris sights. Although there is no car park for this hotel, if you are lucky enough you can park outside but you would have to pay at the parking meter.We were lucky enough to be staying in the hotel in August when it appears you can park for free on the street.I was a little disappointed in the room we had as it had no view at all being at the rear, but it served its purpose as it was just a base for 2 days so we could view the sights, and they did manage to facilitate us by keeping the whole family on the same floor as we had 2 rooms.The breakfast lounge area is only small, but there was the option to eat in the court yard area at the rear of the hotel.On the whole, a nice place to stay for a short break with very freindly and helpful staff.

"Central base of a good standard."

Room sufficiently large. Breakfast boring after the first 2 mornings - some variation please. One receptionist unhelpful and argumentative but rest were OK. Would stay there again. Don`t use the Italian Restaurant next door - poor and expensive. Small supermarket nearby was very useful.

"Nice quiet friendly hotel in good location with great views of Eiffel Tower. "

Just returned from a long weekend stay with my two daughters - it was great! The hotel is located in a nice quiet street within easy walking distance of The Eiffel Tower and Champs-Elysees, also near to the metro and buses. We had a triple room on the 6th Floor, which had a wonder view of the Eiffel Tower. Nice room & bathroom, loads of lovely clean towels. Breakfast was ample - fresh bread, croissants, fruit, etc. and was very impressed that they gave us extra fruit juice instead of tea or coffee. Would highly recommend this hotel!

"Room barely adequate and totally dark. Breakfast very poor staff rude. Would not recommend hotel"

Room had no natural light, therefore needed lights on all the time. Lucky we are small and thin people, as the bathroom was very tight and it would have been impossible for a larger person to even get into the shower.We had to queue for breakfast which at best was minimal, with nothing fresh, not even the croissant. Orange juice long life and the coffee undrinkable!

"Good value for money"

Stayed for 2 nights and at £50 per night, with breakfast, I found it to be good value. The decor in the rooms is slightly old and dated, and could do to be refreshed, reasonably priced mini bar, terrace garden is lovely for relaxing,

"Convenient and worth the money"

Close to the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triumph, and Champs Elysees. The front desk was extremely helpful in finding where to go and what to do. The hotel was not busy and very quiet, making for a very nice weekend in Paris! I strongly recommend.

"Hotel very central to Tourist sights."

Room was drab, needs redecorating. Water would not run away down the sink or bath, a good dose of draincleaner would be ok. Bathroom does not have an air extractor system, so the associated odours linger witin the apartment for quite a while.The directions from Boisseier Metro are erroneous. Should read, do an immediate U turn when exiting station, walk along Kleber towards Arc De Triomphe, Rue Hamelin is second on right. Hotel is diagonally opposite. 5 minutes walking time.

"Well located for Champs Elysee and Eiffel Tower but star rating flatters the accomodation."

Quiet location considering proximity to Arc de Triomph and splendid sight of Eiffel Tower from the hotel entrance. Some good restaurants also on the doorstep. Hotel public areas are tasteful and comfortable, well up to the 3/4 Star billing afforded this hotel dependant on which reference you use. Friendly and helpful staff added to the first impressions of a favourable promise for a comfortable stay. However the triple bedroom, particularly the decor, poor quality fabric and finishings and very cramped design was, by contrast, very disappointing and certainly well below the standards to be expected of a 3/4 star rated establishment. We do not know whether the double rooms are of a better quality but based on our experience we would advise potential guest to be a little guarded in their expectations of this hotel.

In room 216. Awful room, very dark and a tiny window with a view of a waste funnel and walls. Tiny crack in walling let some light in. No info in room re breakfast times etc. Stff not particularly buzzing with enthusiasm to provide information. Breafast adequate, room clean, hotel in reasonable location.

Hotel very friendly and perfectly located for the centre of Paris. The breakfasts were very good. The room, although small, was adequate and very clean. The housekeeping was excellent. The only complaint would be that we were on the sixth floor (in the eaves of the building ) and although a shower over the bath, there was no height to have a proper shower.
