Crowne Plaza Hotel PARIS-REPUBLIQUE

We had stayed at a "french" hotel for a few days at the beginning of our business trip and we were cramped and uncomfortable. I shared a room with a coworker and we ended up having to get another room because there just wasn't enough space for us to share. But this hotel's double room had more than enough space for my coworker and I to have privacy and sleep comfortably. It had two double beds that weren't right next to eachother, unlike most european hotels where "double occupancy" means two twin mattresses pushed together and sharing a head board.

good staffing but there was a little incident which create honesty of other sub-contractor.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The metro stop is just outside of the front doors. We had 2 superior rooms booked, which were very spacious, clean and comfortable. There are a lot of eateries around, patisseries, pharmacy and a grocery store. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Loved it!

Beds very comfortable. Nice balcony. Excellent for hard to find family room for 4 with two double beds. Steps from central metro station. Great breakfast.

Nice food. Decent view. Safe location by Metro station. Friendly service.

We were backpacking for this European trip and this hotel was a little too comforting, but no complaints here. :) Everything seems luxurious enough, almost comparable to some of the large Las Vegas hotels. Hotel staff spoke very good English and were all nice. They do charge for WIFI. Eatery around the area are very good and can range from McDonald, KFC, Pizzarias and of course French restaurants. Don't expect McD and KFC food to be the same in the US though. Hotel itself has restaurant and bar/cafe. We only ate breakfast at the restaurant and they offered good buffet food. Metro train is just in front of the whole bldg for convenience. The only negatives we can think of are in the bathroom. A ceiling industrial type tile and a light bulb were slightly tilted and expose a little of the roof lining. Also, some wall tiles were cracked and edges has regular bathroom molds like in most households. Still not bad compared to the other hotels we'll be visiting through out Europe.

Excellent hotel and very central location with metro only ~20 metres away.Place des Vosges and east end of Rue du Rivoli are within easy walk. Room was very good with high ceiling and floor to ceiling french doors. Also lively canal district 5 mins walk.

I visited Paris for a week in May 2011. The hotel is very nice inside - exactly what you would expect from a Crowne Plaza in a major city. This hotel is within walking distance of the Seine, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and almost anywhere in the city if you're fit and willing to hike. Three important things about this hotel: 1) You need to get the superior room. The standard rooms all face the street; the superior rooms face the interior courtyard. 2) This hotel does NOT offer air conditioning in May. If it's warm prior to when they turn it on in June, you may have difficulty sleeping, especially if you're jet lagged. Not even the fitness center was air conditioned. 3) The surrounding area, Republic, needs work. None of this is the hotel's fault, of course, but you need to be aware before you book. There is a campground of bums in the park in the middle of the square; there's a lot of traffic in Place de Republic; and there was a large, hostile pro-Palestinian demonstration in the street next to the hotel our first night. The northern part of Paris is pretty "gritty" and doesn't clean up until several blocks to the south. If you're an experienced traveler or a business traveler, none of this should present an obstacle. We walked everywhere, including the Louvre and the Eifel tower, about 8-10 miles every day without much worry. However, if you're looking for the story-book, pastoral Paris most tourists expect, I'd suggest avoiding northern Paris and staying closer to the Seine.

Hotel was situated in Place de la Republique, steps from metro station. Good neighborhood with great dining options. Internet was terribly expensive; otherwise the hotel is nice (has a small fitness center as well) and the staff was friendly.

The neighborhood is a bit scruffy, but the hotel was terrific,good staff and the Metro is outside your front door and there are alot of good resturants within 150 yards of the hotel.
