Villa Alessandra

We have read in previous reviews about how small the room was, but we never beleived it was that small! We could hardly make our bags fit in.The reception was not friendly at all. Nevermind the good location, the hotel is hardly 3 stars hotel.

Enjoyed our stay in the Alessandro Villa, Staff were very nice and the room was small but sunny and very pleasant. Extremely convenient location close to Ternes and Charles de Gaulle metro stations and only 10 minutes from the Arc de Triomphe. Would definitely recommend.

It wasn't my first time in Paris but this hotel was the best one among others I stayed in. The room was small for 2 people ( I was with my b-friend) but clean and comfortable. The bathroom had a bathtub that's not common for small size hotels. A TV set was kind of big for this size room and there was only one program in English. The "reception" staff was friendly and willing to help. They provide free Wi-Fi in the lobby. It was noisy outside at night but it's Paris where the life doesn't stop ever. The location is perfect, just the 10 min walking distance from the Ark de Triumph and the Champs-Elysees. There is a farmer's market next to the hotel where we were buying fresh fruits and deli. A metro station is about 5 min away. We preferred to use the Underground than the taxi. It's chipper and faster. I will definitely stay in this hotel at my next time in Paris.

We arrived at the hotel and were greeted with no air conditioning and a rude front desk staff "Oliver" who placed the issue of no air back in our laps. He stated that their web-site listed the fact that there was no air conditioning (which it DID NOT) and refused to show me where that was stated. He offered no assistance in trying to find another hotel and informed us that if we did leave we would be charged for 2 nights. The temperature during our stay was 33C/96F and was unbearable during the evenings. We tried to find another hotel, but everything was booked. We had to buy fans at a local store so we could attempt to sleep at night. Nada – another staff member was pleasant and apologetic, but the rest of the team did everything possible to avoid the clients staying at the hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. We confirmed our reservations by phone and e-mail months before our arrival and no one told us of the broken air conditioning (had been broken for 4 months). I booked and paid for a 4 star hotel for my family and we ended up in a 1 star hotel at best.

We were in Paris to enjoy the sites and to see the Tour De France. Its really close to the Arc De Triumph and all the tour excitement. The metro station ternes is close by but you really need to use charles de Gualle station to get to the touristy stuff so its a small walk but still close. The room was small but I have traveled in Europe before and the rooms always tend to be small. We didn't mind the size, the bed was great, the bathroom clean and good water pressure and warmth, so we didn't need anything else.

The only problem with this hotel is the size of the rooms. We are both average size people but found there just wasn't enough room for us and our luggage. Bathroom size was fine.

Good location, friendly staff, english-speaking. Narrow rooms. Interesting food-market just outside the hotel. Breakfast-buffet was poor. Don't waste money on it.

Room was smallish, but comfortable. While we requested a "double" the room had twin beds, made up separately and pushed together... having said that, though, they did allow us to check in at 9am after coming straight from the airport, so we didn't complain. Location is excellent, about 5 mins walk from the Arc de Triomphe. Staff spoke English and were very welcoming and helpful - special mention for Jean-Baptiste at front desk.

This hotel was rated 4 stars, but is more a 2-3 stars. Location was good, easy walk to Metro as well as Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees. No on-site amenities or vending machines, close to a local street market for genuine French feel. Best attributes were helpful bi-lingual staff.

We were very disapointed with the condition of the bed linnen, only the bed and towels were changed every morning. Thr room and bathroom were never cleaned or swept in the three days we were their. I asked reception for a secong drinking class and was told they didnt have any !!!
