Crowne Plaza

The location is what is great about this place. The metro is just steps away. At night there are street vendors selling food and goodies which is a treat if it’s late and you’re hungry. The customer service could have been better, and the room was just okay. We would have liked to have seen a gift shop, or place for snacks or breakfast in this hotel. It was sometimes difficult to get a cab, and the lobby gets smokey sometimes from people smoking outside the automatic doors (which I despised having my baby with me).

Great hotel if you don’t like to sleep. We had to listen to NON-​STOP drums, loud music, breaking glass and constant protesting outside our room in the square. We would have loved to open our window to get some fresh air since the A/​C didn’t seem to cool our room but the weed smell coming from the protesters was also a bit much for us. Daily you can see 50 – 75 police officers in full riot gear (gas masks and machine guns included) just waiting for the protesters to get out of hand. It’s 1:31 am right now as I type this I can hear what sounds like bourbon street in New Orleans. We took at video at 1:46 am and posted it but trust me when I say it was way worse at 11:00 when they were having a rap contest with amplified sound (PS not sure what they are protesting but they love rapping to Eminem). The hotel rooms are nice and the staff is friendly but be ready for the noise.

The hotel is nice. I gave it a two out of five because we came here during the winter time which is snow season.
The room was soooo cold after checking in they left the window open had trouble locking the window. The entire room needs remodeling, for the location it’s at. I love that we are in the middle of the area. I wish we had a better window view. And last but not least the people are wonderful.

It was my family’s second time in Paris and second time as well in this hotel. It’s always been a pleasing experience. very clean rooms. Staff are very helpful and accommodating. Location is a plus as well. Metro is just a few steps away, it’s located right in front of the plaza (Place de Republique) which is sorrounded with beautiful cafes and restaurants. Definitely will stay again once we revisit Paris.

We picked this hotel because it was very close to the Metro station. After we flew to the CDG airport, we took the PER train to the paris city, then transferred to Metro at the Nord station, then finally got to the Republique station. After 16 hours fly+ train+ metro, we finally got to the hotel at roughly 1pm. However the reception said the room would not be ready until 3pm. We stayed in the lounge until 2pm and the room was still not ready. So we went out to have a lunch and came back at 3:30pm and finally got the room.
For IHG platinum member, the hotel gave a small box chocolate and one drink coupon as welcome gift. I thought it was strange to just give one drink because we had 2 person staying in the room. I asked about it and the reception said it would be just one coupon. Later it ended we never used that coupon anyway.
We have the club room access included in our room rate. The breakfast was continental breakfast without any hot items. There are signs saying do not bring any drinks outside the club room. I would rather they stock more bottle water than the beers in the club room.
Overall it was an ok experience. I only gave it a 3 rating because later we went to the Amsterdam Crown Plaza and it was much better in every way. Just to be fair, if Amsterdam Crown Plaza is a 5 rating, the paris one can only got a 3.

Nice hotel with long velvet curtain. The stairway is a classic with spiral wide steps and chandelier at every floor. Better to take the stair if you don’t mind walking. There is a long walk to certain rooms, don’t mind at all. I love there breakfast buffet with croissant and fruit pastries, egg prepared to your liking. I had an amazing passion fruit panna cotta and steak the first evening there.
In front of the hotel is a square where people hang out from morning until late evening. The surroundings are filled with restaurants, pastry shops, retail shops, etc. It’s also close to the
Metro station.
I wonder what they will do with the courtyard on the property.
I would stay here again for the convenience.

Nice hotel. Great location. One of the tour buses stops very close to hotel. The Republique Metro stop is right outside the door. I would stay here again.

I flew my girlfriend to Paris for a surprise romantic getaway, to propose to her under the Eiffel Tower (she said Yes!). We stayed here, and everything about it was great! I am a loyal IHG customer, and this lives up to Crowne brand — clean, friendly, safe, comfortable. Also very conveniently located near the Metro, which we used every day. One little thing, so minor but so memorable, is we LOVED the instant hot chocolate that came complimentary in our room. It became part of our nightly ritual after a chilly day walking around Paris. If anyone knows the brand, please share… we must have more!

I am very happy with the customer service here. The hotel is also very clean & convenient to all the main attractions in Paris.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and were staying at the Hotel Regina until Air France decided to go on strike. We needed a hotel for two nights and ended up finding this crown plaza online at
for a good price. It was rated 4 stars (which had to be a lie) so we thought it was a good deal. Turns out, I feel we got completely ripped off and misguided. The room was as small as a postage stamp, with wall paper ripping off the wall, with air conditioning that was clearly broken. We were told the bed was a queen, but there is no way it was, it was a full AT BEST. The room also seemed very dirty. We had the temperature down to the lowest setting, hoping to get some relief from the heat, which didn’t work. The internet (which must be paid for by the hour) was horrible. I paid 30 euro for internet that barely worked. Wanted to throw my computer out the window in frustration. If was a terrible experience which basically ruined our honeymoon and any remembrance of Paris. No exaggeration.

Excellent hotel conveniently located in the center of Paris. Lots of pros to this hotel: quiet, clean, excellent and comfortable beds, friendly staff. Our room is stocked with actual coffee (not instant) as well as free biscuits and hot chocolate. We were given a free upgrade to club level as platinum members. We were visiting for 5 nights. Would absolutely come back!

I agree w most of the comments. Pretty standard hotel. Good location, clean, easy access to Metro, but I downgrade you to 2 stars because of the fee for wifi. Wifi connection is sub-​par. You get a better connection outside using Paris’ free wifi in Place de la Republique.

I have traveled all over the world stayed in Paris numerous times and have read many bad reviews about this hotel… All I can tell you it was way beyond my expectations, the service the staff the club level was excellent!
The air-​conditioning will be an issue when it is warm outside for sure but everything else is perfect here and you cannot beat the price and the service!!!
Strongly recommend staying here while in Paris

I wanted my two daughters who are currently in college to experience a fantastic Christmas abroad. I selected the «City of Lights» as the ultimate Christmas vacation; it would incorporate culture, beauty, adventure and wonderful food.
To make sure things were perfect I booked a week at the Crowne Republique, I am a Platinum member, the hotel is centrally located and at least in the US this hotel chain has a good reputation.
The building itself is beautiful and is set just across the city square, it was decorated with beautiful lights and is near two metro stations. The hotel staff were very polite and recognized my status and immediately provided four welcome drinks for my two daughters, wife and I. The room was smart with comfortable beds, nice bath tub and descent amenities. However, there was only one small bottle of water that was not for charge. This was inappropriate in my opinion since we booked a family room.
This is where my review focuses on why I will select another hotel in the future.
This was my third time in Paris and as it is my favorite «world» city this was not my first rodeo. Our very first night the power goes out in the room for two hours. I call the front desk and they asked me if I used a converter. Indeed I had, it is the same one that I’ve used all over the world and was appropriate for this location. Once the maintenance person arrived and checked all of the outlets he unplugged their lamp. Well we would have a little less light in the «City of lights» but okay. The lights went out again and he checked the hot water machine that comes with the room and then just resets the power.
To make a long review short, this went on for a total of three days. Once they turned on the power it not only fried my converter but it NUKED it. I asked if they had any converters for hotel customers and they replied yes but only for sale. I spent € 10 for something that would cost $ 3 bucks in Korea.
My biggest issue was that it was a great inconvenience and the staff kept asking us what were we doing wrong when eventually they finally fixed the problem. They even said they would switch our room and that our luggage and everything would be moved for us (on Christmas Day). We returned and waited 45 minutes only to find out that it hadn’t been done.
Never did it cross the management’s mind to compensate us in some way for our inconveniences, not with breakfast or a drink or anything. For this reason alone I did not feel truly valued as a long term loyal customer. I will use my points and then no longer support this chain.
As for Paris it was pretty epic… check out the «movie trailer» I made on YouTube… www​.youtube​.com/​w​a​t​c​h​?​v​=​M​9​W​D​i​_​W​b​P​7​k​&​a​m​p​;​s​ns=em

Great location, but sucks when you’re working. Wi-​fi is expensive (come on!) and comes with dodgy connectivity at that. I would gladly exchange the complimentary mini-​Kit Kat for the ability to e-​mail when I’m travelling… Additionally, my room was so teeny I had to climb over the chair arms to squeeze myself on to the desk, like the world’s most boring obstacle course. As a generally small human it was briefly fun to imagine myself as a giant in a dollhouse, but that novelty wore off once I realised I had actually left my miniature Kit-​Kat on the fridge. Meh.

I liked the Crowne Plaza Republique. The location is great. It’s a 15-​minute walk from the Pompidou Center, a 30-​minute walk from the Louvre, and an hour walk from the Sacre Coeur. It’s next to a metro too for people who’d rather take that. The rooms are spacious. The staff are warm. The concierge is helpful. And the restaurant offers a good buffet breakfast. If there were free Wifi in the rooms, I’d give it 5 stars. But there’s not. There’s Wifi downstairs (for $ 10 an hour!). I think a lux hotel should have it in the room for free.

Located in the Republique circle — it’s near to a lot of nice restaurants and good shopping — there is a subway very close by with easy access to the rest of the city.
The rooms are nice, modern, spacious and comfortable.
The restaurant serves a wonderful breakfast — a buffet of fruits, breads, cold meats, cheeses, cereals, yogurts, etc and a warm food bar — where you can have pancakes, eggs, omelettes, etc made while you wait. Lunch and dinner are pretty good as well!
The lobby offers free wifi for members — otherwise it is outrageously priced (something like 10 euros/​hour)! eek
There is a nice bar and friendly service.

This is one of my favourite hotels in paris. Great location, newly renovated, a great restaurant and absolutely not overpriced like many other hotels in Paris.

Les chambres sont très bien amménagées et très agréables, l’hôtel est très bien situé et donne sur la place de la république. L’accueil est bon.
Les chambres sont également très propres.
Par contre, la nourriture n’est franchement pas au niveau. Buffet pas très original et cuisine très fade pour né pas dire franchement mauvaise.
Il faut donc prévoir d’aller se restaurer autour de l’hôtel. En ce qui concerne le bar, le service est bon mais les prix sont vraiment très élevés. Même remarque que pour le restaurant, mieux vaut sortir de l’hôtel pour aller boire un verre.
