Hotel Montaigne, Paris

The hotel has a great location, perfect for sightseeing in central Paris and just minutes away from the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées. The rooms were exceptional, modern, and tastefully decorated, offering a lovely bathroom with ample cupboard space. However, the rooms need renovation as they were rundown and unkept with several cleanliness issues.

If you're after affordable accommodation with a touch of Parisian charm, this hotel is a good choice. The room I stayed in felt a bit rundown and unkempt, but the balcony gave it that Parisian vibe I was looking for. The hotel staff were helpful and accommodating, and the location couldn't have been better. However, the room needed some maintenance, and the dining selection was quite limited.

During my stay, the hotel impressed me with its well-looked-after rooms that exuded a sense of luxury, although on the smaller side. The separate shower and tub were a nice touch, especially with the door that provided additional privacy. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to assist, from arranging in-room massages to impeccably maintaining the room. The location was a mixed bag; while convenient for transportation and shopping, it lacked the charm of experiencing Paris like a local. Dining options were a hit-or-miss, ranging from counting cheese slices at breakfast service to mouthwatering freshly cooked croissants delivered to the room. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel's facilities were well-equipped and provided a comfortable stay overall.
