Best Western Premier Amiral Hotel  

If you use this hotel and ask for taxi's. Tell them if you don't want a pirate, you want an officiel taxi, otherwise you risk they order this kind.

We had 2 visits to the above hotel. First time round, we were given a lovely quiet room in the rear section of the hotel and had peace and quiet after our long flight from Perth. The second time round we were given a room on the street side of the hotel which was awful - it felt like the traffic was driving through the room all through the night. When we asked to change rooms the following morning, we had to pay in an additional E25.00/night to get our original room even though the hotel was relatively empty on both our visits. Will certainly consider a different chain next time round as this was not a pleasant experience with the front desk.

The room fridge did not work on our first visit and despite reporting the matter did not work on our second visit either. There was no tea-pot in our room on the second visit (found it under the bath panel in the bathroom) and the complimentary tea/coffee was not replenished during our visits. The milk supplied for the tea had congealed and gone off.

Hotel staff were fantastic.

The swimming pool would be a bit too small if more than three adults were in it at the same time. Luckily it was just my husband and I.

Convenient location, comfortable rooms, nice breakfast buffet.

WiFI was unstable and unresponsive. The price of 20 Euros for breakfast is a little steep.

The hotel had a metro stop 20 meters from the front door. From that metro station it was a 15 min rie (or 6 stations) to the center of the city.

The rooms were very small, but clean. No tissues, facecloths or towels. We could not access the room safe and even though we asked for help it never arrived so we dropped the request. For the taxi to the airport, the desk clerk obviously had a deal with the taxi driver who didn't start meter and wanted 75 Euros extra for a hotel pick up. We eventually negotiated a flat fee but had little leverage as the the time was ticking and the plane wouldn't wait.

Swimming pool

Excellent connection with the autoroute to Southern/Western France and still really in Paris. The hotel has private parking. A typical Parisian café with very friendly service and excellent food is at 2 minutes walking from the hotel next to the metro entrance.

We booked a Nelson "upgraded" room, which is pretty basic, like a room at Ibis. Check-out was clumsy - took 10 minutes also because of poor instruction about how to get out of the garage. During the evening, one has to walk in pitch dark from the car to the sortie and as I came out it was in the middle of the garden, some kind of emergeny exit. Take a flashlight - this silly situation exists for over 3 years now. cups, tea and coffee all present, but no water cooker. No orange juice, they had forgotten to buy oranges.

Nice swimming pool.

Room situated at l'avenue d'italie. A lot of traffic the whole night long, so very noisy, couldn't sleep.The room window is not good isolated from the street noise.

Shower poor. Staff not hepful. Photocopied credit card and Passport then left them unsecure behind the reseption counter. Could easilly be used for identity theft. Bar closed at 10pm

Staff is extremele friendly and competent. Room was clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Nice welcome by the staff, room located to the rear, nicely decorated room and hotel

The room was not properly cleaned during the stay, rubbish was forgotten in bathroom and left next to the sink

I liked the swimming pool; that is why I chose it. I would try best werstern again but if I get the internet problem again it will be the last time.

Internet hard wire system very slow and would not allow outgoing emails on outlook; need to get someone to check this out. The TV is tuned into only 1 English channell, CNN, It would be ggood to have BBC and Russia Today. There is no brush to clean the WC with. The swimming pool should be open at least to midnight. Cannot see why they limit the hours from 7am to 9pm when there is no swimming pool attendent anyway. Doe not make sense.

Courteous and helpful English speaking staff.
