Good HOtel, the MEtro is at 10 mt from the Hotel, the T3 line in front of it. You can reach the center of Paris in a few minutes. The rooms are clean, quiet and spacious enought. The hotel have a convention with the near "Bistrot" where you can eat very very well and drink good beers and wines!

I was very disappointed to find that the room rate coming in off the street was approximately 20% less than I was obliged to pay having booked with Venere. Maybe I was naiive, but I had assumed that Venere would get me a good rate. I have learnt my lesson. I didn't spend enough time on research, and I now realise that I could have got a much nicer and better located hotel than the Acropole. It is functional, but has no charm whatsoever.

Although room was a bit on the small side it was absolutely fine. Very quiet. Bed was extremely comfortable. Metro very close indeed on direct tube link from Gare du Nord and good buses into town. We had our breakfast in local cafes which are close and pleasant and charged about the same as a breakfast in the hotel. It was a pleasure and we would certainly use it again. Highly recommended.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. The location is very convenient as there is a metro station just beside. And infront of the hotel there is also bus to get around. The rooms are clean except i find it too small. Breakfast is ok. But i expect fresh fruits which they only offer for one day. Overall i think the hotel its ok for such price. And i will consider going back to the same hotel again next year.

Very Nice hotel. Rooms very clean. Triple room was a real triple room. Although the hotel looks like it is on the edge of Paris a metro stop is 50m away and gets you anywhere in Paris very quickly. I would stay again.

Very nice hotel, located in a pretty quiet area. The subway is in the front of the hotel,I could hit all the locations within less than 45 minutes ( Louvre Museum, Champ Elisees,The Invalides....). A trip at Disneyland with the subway and RER takes almost 1 hour.The employees are competent and nice, offerring you a pleasant stay. Spaciousness of rooms is good enough for someone who want to visit Paris and planned a budget trip. Me and my family were really satisfied and we will definitly return to this property.

The accommodation was exactly as described on the Venere website. It was easy to reach as per the instructions. Travel to sites of interest from the hotel was easy using buses, metro or tram. We even walked from the Notre Dame to the hotel and from the hotel to Montparnasse. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. There are excellent and cheap eating places in immediate vicinity. I would definitely (and strongly) recommend the Acropole to couples visiting Paris. I did not see the bigger rooms, so I dont know whether the rooms are suitable for couples with children.

For those who knows Paris, this 3 star hotel is one of the best options avaiable. Nice location, quiet (in the back´s), lot of services in the sorroundings (restaurants, creperries, boulangerie, etc. If you want luxury, this is not the place, but it´s a very cussy Hotel. Very nice cost benefit and very good for the Paris standard of hotels. I stayed there with my wife and doughter in august, and it´s a clean place. Stairsteps to arrive at the first elevator.

The hotel was clean, spacious and nice, while the staff was very welcoming. I was able to access my room a lot earlier than the check-in time indicated, which was quite appreciated after a long flight. The hotel is located just a few steps away from the subway line (number 4) and tram, which brings you to the heart of the city within minutes. You will find bars, restaurants, pharmacies, a post office and grocery store right around the corner from the hotel. The pictures of the rooms and the hotel presented are quite representative of the reality.

I based my decision on staying at the Acropole on the reviews at Venere.com and I found the ratings to be quite acurate. It was not a luxury hotel, but the room, bedding and bathroom were very clean. The room was small, but plenty big enough to spread out our luggage. The bathroom was just like the picture on Venere's site and there was plenty of hot water for a shower, and a hair dryer and soaps/shampoo/etc. were included. There were only two towels, but we recieved clean ones everyday. The windows were doubled, so that shut out most of the noise from the street. The walls, however, are not sound proof so there is potential for noise if the people in the next room are not quiet. We heard people a couple of nights, but we were usually so tired from walking all over Paris that it didn't keep us awake. We never ate breakfast there, but the small dining area was attractive and the fresh fruit looked great. We had to actually walk through the dining area to get to our room. We stayed an extra night and were charged the same rate. The people at the front desk were always helpful and polite and spoke English. I needed to make a phone call to Germany using the phone in our room, and the person at the front desk was great about telling me how to do it and what the charge approximately would be (which wasn't much). I especially liked the restaurant on the street across from our hotel: Paris Orleans. The food was excellent and the service was even better. There is also a street vender beside the restaurant that makes the BEST crepes in all of Paris. Every night there was a line of people waiting to get crepes. The train station exit is almost right in front of the hotel so that is a definite plus when you're hauling luggage or toting a heavy pack. It was easy getting to all the museums and other places...just hop on the train which is right by the hotel and you are at the Notre Dame in a few minutes. Hope this is helpful.

The room in which my wife and I stayed at was really small. The room was only big enough to fit the bed. Even though the room was really small, it was not really a big deal because we did not spend a lot of time there. But it was not the same room that they showed on the website.

The Acropole at first seemed nice. The room was clean and the bathroom was nice. The elevator is on the second floor so you have to carry luggage up a case of stairs - not handicapped accessible. The rooms did not have air conditioning and there was not a fan which would have been nice to have to cover up the voices from outside the room. We put our do not disturb sign on the door the previous night because we had traveled from Greece all day and got in late and the housekeeping employee woke us up three times. Then when we checked out the credit card machine was down and they made us go get cash which we then had to pay a fee at the ATM after we just got cash for the cab ride. It was just one thing after another here. Although, they did provide us with a corkscrew.

It was hot and humid in Paris when we were there. Unfortunately, the hotel has no air conditioning--not even a fan. However, the street noise was so loud that we couldn't open our windows at night. The hotel should provide fans or air conditioning, particularly for the rooms on the street. Also, there was a mini-fridge in the room, but after stocking up on perishables, we discovered that neither of the refrigerators in our two rooms worked. The desk staff was friendly and helpful.

Room was on the small side but well maintained/furnished. In room Bathroom was spotless and well equiped. No acess to the lift from the first floor so if you have large heavy bags, be prepared for a climb up a staircase to the tiny lift on the second floor. Breakfast looked good but we never stopped. Road construction noise right outside the hotel was a little disturbing first thing in the morning (should be finished in a few months). Subway station and lots of cafes and shops next door. Friendly staff, good value for money, would stay here again.

Acropole is a left-left bank hotel but it is at the terminus of the metro so access to Paris centre is pretty easy. There was a ton of construction (new rail lines) so the street was torn up and Paris is loud (quiet times between 2-5 a.m) and it was warm so you get the choice of noise or heat. The staff was friendly and we had an amazing view of the Eiffel tower but we had one of the larger rooms (ask for the biggest room when you get there). The staff was nice and the Autopassion Cafe was remarkably good for a theme restaurant. We ate breakfast out. Nice place for the price. Clean, comfortable, no frills.

Chose this hotel as it was the best rated of the three stars and I wasn't disappointed. Friendly staff, convenient location, and though the road is noisy the closed windows block almost all the noise. In my experience single rooms are often poky with poor facilities but this was excellent e.g. bath as well as shower, and surprisingly spacious room with front view not fobbed off with dingy central courtyard. Only a lack of anywhere decent to eat out - but with the metro so handy it's easy to go into town for somewhere.

The hotel is nearby a metro station, which was quite good to start a sightseeing-trip. The personnel couldn´t speak much Englisch, and we had to leave our room on the last day much earlier than promised (and they told us in a very unfriendly way). Price was ok, don´t know about breakfast or something. Room was very clean.

I thought the hotel was great. It was easy to find since we drove and they had a secure parking garage 1/2 block down the street. The hotel does have an elevator, but you need to walk up about 15 steps to get to the elevator. The breakfast was wonderful and I did not think it was anymore expensive than buying food elswhere. The bakeries may be cheaper, but there is not a place to sit down and eat. The metro was just outside the hotel door so we felt very comfortable coming and going at all hours of the day. The staff was very friendly and tried really hard to make your stay perfect.

Very good price / value ratio. Breakfast is quite expensive - but we did not need to pay for our 9 year old daughter. And they served a breakfast buffet with rolls, baguette, croissons, pain au chocolat, cereals, sausages, cheese, marmalade, yogurt and lots of other stuff. Only the coffee was disappointing. The 2 bed room we booked was located at the back site - so it was perfectly quite. And it had a full size 3rd bed. Staff was very helpful - at the reception they spoke beyond French and English even German.

Good competent people, kind of dull part of town, for Paris; but maybe a 15 - 20 min walk to 5th or 6th Arr. Being right in front of a Metro final stop (Porte d´Orleans?) pretty convenient, but if you´re a night owl and miss the subway you´re looking at 10 - 20 Euros taxi far to get back home.

I traveled to Paris with my 2 sisters and we truly appreciated the staff and location of this hotel. It provided perfect access to the metro and the managers and maids were consistently kind. Each manager seemed to have his own sense of humor which was always refreshing after our days of tourism. Our room was large with a large, private bathroom. Further, the reviews we read prior to our trip cautioned against the breakfast. We found the breakfast very good and served with such hospitality! Overall, we'd recommend this hotel but we weren't too excited about the surrounding restaurants. And--the traffic was loud, but isn't that part of being in Paris?
