Hotel Concorde Résidence - Paris

Disappointing hotel. I have been happy with Venere hotels in the past but this one didn't measure up. It is accessed through the courtyard in an office building. I thought it would be quiet, but it was not. We were on the 5th floor and the elevator worked sporadically. Other clients complained about this. Our room had 4 beds!! (We did not ask for this). Beds were not very comfortable. Shower/bathroom was large by Paris standards. There was absolutely no effort to decorate the room - not a single picture, dresser...it felt institutional. Staff were not overly friendly, but they did their job. I would probably not stay here again.

This was a business trip and the hotel was 5 minutes from my destination in a quiet side street off rue du Rivoli directly opposite a Metro exit from Concorde. We were given attic rooms (6ieme etage)which were extremely large by Paris hotel standards with original oak beams and velux skylights. Very small lift (2pax max) which broke down but was fixed promptly. Very good bistro/bar directly opposite the hotel open till 12:30pm for late snacks or drinks.

We asked for a triple room, they gave us a 4 person room, very spacious. The staff was very friendly, and bilingual. The breakfast wasn't much, but it was convenient and included in our price, and they had a computer and free internet access in the little sitting area. The location was fantastic, a block from Place de la Concorde, walking distance to the Louvre, shops, etc. My only complaints would be a tiny elevator that could fit two people with no luggage, or luggage and no people. I ended up taking the stairs to our 5th floor room most of the time. Also, the last couple of nights, they had started some construction on that street, so there was some noise early in the morning, but for most of our stay it wasn't too bad. I didn't see any of the single or double rooms, I don't know how spacious they were, but ours was quite big. I'd stay there again.

This hotel was not the easiest to find as the entrance to the hotel is concealed from the main street and lies within a small courtyard. Look for the signs above to find your way!! The friendliness of the staff on duty was great always helpful and friendly. I cannot comment on the quality of catering at the hotel as I was out soaking in the sunshine and eating at the many cafes in the area. A really nice, centrally located hotel ideal for those who are looking for a comfortable room for which to use as a base of their Paris expedition!! Some lovely restraunts in the locale recommend to try them ALL!!!!

The staff were lovely, so long as you approached them in french! Lovely people, very helpful. The area was fantastic- right next to the metro station, in the middle of the high fashion area- Rue de Saint Honore etc....amazing location. Rooms were clean and warm, enough space, and the price for the location was fantastic. It's not the Hilton, but I don't go to hotels to hang out in my room for room service!! Perfect.

Fantastic location - could not be more and central. Room very poor with bathroom fixtures broken, curtains falling down and television sound not working. We were assured they were in the process of putting all these things right. Perfect hotel as a base to put your head down but would not want to spend any more time in the hotel than necessary. Because of the fantastic location, bars and restaurants are on your doorstep.

As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we were told that the rooms we booked have been canceled as they had a refurbishment work in the building. They had booked another hotel for us but we had to walk for 15 minutes with our heavy laguages and they didn't offer any special service to us. If they had known this they should have told us in advance. Very disappointing...

Più che un hotel 3 stelle è un residence, con ascensore e sala colazione più piccoli del mondo! Vecchiotto, con camere che meriterebbero una energica rinfrescata, sa farsi perdonare per la sua posizione centrale, per la disponibilità e simpatia di chi ci lavora e per la prima colazione inclusa nel prezzo.Attenzione a non riservare la double pensando ad una camera doppia, vi ritrovereste un letto matrimoniale, come è successo a me. A nulla era servito specificare nei commenti che volevamo due letti singoli. Fortunatamente dopo la prima notte ci hanno trasferito in una camera doppia veramente grande, se era il loro modo di farsi perdonare lo abbiamo molto apprezzato.

ho scelto questo hotel per la vicinanza al Louvre. è a 20 metri dall'uscita della stazione metro Tuileries e si può arrivare al museo a piedi in pochi minuti. ho speso poco meno di 100 euro a notte per una singola che in realtà era una doppia (letto da una piazza e mezza). avevo la camera 31, con finestra sul cortiletto interno. nessun rumore di traffico, ma alla mattina, dopo le 7, cominciavano le faccende per la preparazione della colazione, in una saletta a pochi metri dalla mia camera. LA COLAZIONE ERA COMPRESA NEL PREZZO (non molto varia, ma + che sufficiente). la pulizia era soddisfacente; avevo la vasca al posto della doccia; il phon emetteva un forte odore di fumo. il personale è stato molto accogliente. mi sono trovato bene. l'unico neo è il prezzo. costasse qualche decina di euro in meno, sarebbe perfetto. ma trovare di meglio allo stesso prezzo nel cuore del primo arrondissement mi pare impresa difficilissima. ciao, Saul

Our stay was quite POOR - mainly because WE WERE ROBBED! Literally! The safes in the rooms dont work so the staff told us to store our valuables in the hotels safe downstairs. After a couple of days we were told that our things (passports, travellers cheques, train tickets, plain tickets) were all stolen. Quite a difficult and costly situation as you can imagine. Really put a damper in our trip. Obviously an inside job. DO NOT TRUST THIS HOTEL AND DON'T STAY HERE! Learn from our misfortune.

The room was the atypical small Euro room with a full size bed and 2 feet on each side. House cleaning was excellent with the exception of some mildew in the shower. I was in Paris to tour - not to spend time in my room, so the limited space was not a problem for me as others report.

We travel to Paris at least 6 or 7 times a year on business, if you are looking for a clean place in an amazing location with an amazing pricing I would highly recommend this hotel. We stayed in room 62( an air conditioned room- triple) only downfall was it was on the 6th floor, however the elevator does go to the 5th floor. Minutes from the bus, the rue to riveli just seconds away... Stress Amazing Location!!! We will be back (please note breakfast separate) Highly recommend

We needed to book a place in a bit of a hurry, we wanted to be in the central part of the city and we were looking for inexpensive lodgings. We got all that. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. There is no air conditioning – we were there the end of June and it was hot! The service was outstanding: I needed internet access at one point in time and the public computer was down and I was offered use of the hotel computer if the public one was not operable (it soon was) in the near future; we bought a picnic dinner and came back to the hotel and needed dishes, silverware and glasses – all promptly provided; we were allowed to leave our luggage until later in the day after checkout at no additional charge. The biggest complaint was the noise level in the room – we needed to have the windows open for the heat and the traffic noise was loud – even with the street below us blocked off every night (long story on why the street was blocked and the noise levels were still rather high). Great place to stay for cheap with kids in Paris.

It was a great location and reasonable price. We were a group of 3 and had a quad room which was very spacious. The decor is dated, and the carpet was patched in one place, but in general, it was clean and the beds comfortable. The staff were very pleasant. The price included a reasonable continental breakfast. It is on a side street just off rue de Rivoli and was suprisingly quiet. It's just a short walk to an entrance to the Concorde metro.

El Hotel es un Hotel-Residencia asi que los servicios son diferentes. Aun cuando la habitacion tenia facilidades de "Kitchenet" esta estaban cerradas bajo llave. La localizacion es EXCELENTE, pero tambien habia otros hoteles en el area en el mismo grado de precios -price range- que tenian facilidades de hotel. NOTA El hotel no acepta American Express y esa fue la tarjeta con la que yo reserve !!!!! USER Pareja sola -Single/Couple Leisure Traveller- ??

We were suppose to stay for 4 nights (June 1-5, 2005), but after walking in the room, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and said we will check out two days early. The bathroom's shower head was broke, but the rest of the bathroom/room was clean. We paid 100 euros per night....the room was worth 60 euros per night. The breakfast was nothing to write home about: bread (not fresh), canned mixed fruit, plain yogurt,and coffee/tea/OJ. One thing to mention is that the front desk staff/owner were exceptionally nice and spoke English. Although the room was clean, it felt a bit dark/dingy. It didn't help that we had to keep the curtain closed so the people across the street didn't see in. Out of the 7 other hotels I stayed in while in Europe, Hotel Concorde was the most disappointing....but that did not ruin our thoughts about Paris at all:) We absolutely loved the city. The hotel would be a great place to stay for 60 euros a night.

We had a surprise at our arrival, because they couldn't find our booking and they said the hotel was full, but after an hour they finally found it, so we had no real problem. Very good stay, wonderful location; clean, silent and large room; satisfying breakfast included in the price. From the other side, common spaces not large, and it's necessary to take an unconfortable elevator to reach the reception, 'cause it's at the third floor. Anyway, if you don't need luxury, it's a great hotel: we paied € 98 for double room, very good price for the centre of Paris, but I think the price is now higher.

This hotel, for its location, is hard to beat. You are within easy walking distance of so many places including the Lourve, Place de la Concorde, and Champs Elysse. The hotel itself contains the smallest elevator ever, so be prepared to walk up a few flights of stairs. I was located on the 6th floor, with the lobby on the 3rd. The triple room I was in was quite large, but the rooms were never cleaned (stayed three nights). For a bizarre reason, there was no shower curtain. Overall, for the price, I would say it is worth it, however, for the location it was great.

The room was very clean and very basic. The only thing not in working order was the hair dryer unit in the bathroom. But there was plenty of space and met our needs for basic comfort. The location is right in the heart of a lot of attractions. I usually prefer the quainter neighborhoods. But for a last minute triple, this was a good deal.

We stayed at the Concorde for 3 nights - 3 people in one room. The rooms were quite large relative to other European rooms we had been in. The carpets were quite worn and torn in areas - I'd say the overall quality of the room is more of a 2 star than 3 star quality. The shower curtains were molding, however the sheets seemed clean. The breakfast was included but was nothing more than cold cereal (2 choices), limited choice of pastries, plain yogurt and coffee/juice. The elevator was EXTREMELY small - my suitcase alone would barely fit in there! The staff was exceptional - they were very helpful and friendly. And best of all - you can't beat the location. It is in the hear of Paris - 2 blocks from Concorde Plaza, 5 minute walk to the Louvre, and not too bad a walk from the Champs-Elleyse. Overall if you are looking for something reasonably priced in central Paris I'd recommend it. If you are looking for anything with some luxury this isn't the place for you.

Although the Residence Concorde provides an excellent location, the description is different than what we found on arrival. As a family paying for a triple room, we were surprised to find two twin beds and a cot. That was simply brushed off, when I inquired about the situation, and said that that was what they usually had in a triple room. However, that was not what I was told when I rang the hotel directly before our booking. The television was broken and was not repaired our entire visit. One had to ask more thank once for an iron, and there were no extras. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area and sights of Paris. I was promised a car to take us to the train station, only to find out the next morning that it was too busy of a morning (ie. raining) to call for one. We had to carry all of our luggage to another street and try to get one for ourselves!

The location is the best...same block as Louvre and walking distance to everything. The room was spacious and breakfast was pretty good. The only downside was that the site allowed me to use AMEX to book the hotel, but the hotel didn't accept AMEX for payment. But I'd definitely recommend this hotel and stay there on my next Paris trip.
