Hôtel Garden Elysee

This is a fairly small boutique hotel. 10 minute walking distance to the metro, buses or dining. Staff was polite grounds are clean. The room we stayed in was great for the age and price. The hotel is not that old, but not new. The breakfasts are very good. I would stay again.

Very pretty little boutique hotel on a side street away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are a nice size and very clean. The staff are quite nice and ready to help. We would love to stay here again.

No, no and no! This hotel has the most disrespectful staff I’ve met in any hotel prior, but I’ll try to describe this objectively. I actually left and booked a different hotel last minute because they were so terrible.
Price wise, it’s at the average 200 euros a night that you would expect for a mediocre hotel in the center Paris. Rooms are contemporary finish, Ikea grade furniture. If you want a queen bed, they have to charge you extra and put two beds together (weird, but apparently normal at lower end hotels in Europe).
Now, the staff is absolutely ludicrous, they insulted our relative who was coming up and stopped her midway at the front desk asking why they are going up. What? Who does that? After I came down, the staff was extremely disrespectful and did not allow her to come up because there is «fire code» regulations and hotel would be over capacity with one more person in the room. Cancelled the reservation, got my money back after a long fight and had a wonderful stay at the gorgeous Prince de Galle just a short über ride away from this mess.

This was a very nice hotel in Paris. The service here was excellent. Everyone at the front desk was extra helpful. Before we could even ask for help, they were helping us. They gave us maps of Paris and gave us exact directions. They would make calls for us at busy restaurants and help us find open place during New Years day. The room and bathroom was clean and big. The atmosphere was nice and romantic. We were happy we stayed at this hotel. There is a grocery store just two stores down the street. A metro stop (train station, underground travel) is near by on Kleber street. It is a fast walk to the Eiffel tower or Champs Elyee. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone in Paris.

Charming and modern boutique hotel located on tiny Rue Saint-​Didier.
Sadly, I do not have any pictures of it — which I would have to remedy on my next visit, since I know I will be returning.
Sleek glass façade partially hidden by greenery, with sliding doors that take you into posh lobby.
Stuff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
It is small — but hey, most of hotels here are. No complains!
Adorable courtyard with garden umbrellas over the tables let you enjoy your breakfast in peace — or just walk outside, there are several scrumptious breakfast options offered by restaurants and cafés in the area.
Rooms are contemporary, clean and quiet. Yes, quiet, despite the fact you are in the heart of the City. Truthfully — it’s within walking distance to Jardins du Trocadéro and Tour Eiffel, or to several metro stations, one stop away from Arc de Triomphe and all the upscale shops and restaurants of Champs-​Élysées.
Location, location, location. And with everything else on point — it is a win.

A great location and a friendly staff. Breakfast is over priced, but great options for half the price are available within a 10 minute walk of the hotel, and the staff with point you in the right direction. You are 20 minutes from everything there is to see in Paris. I will stay here again!

this is the I always stay in Paris. Great location, quiet, very comfortable and clean and the best friendly service at the reception and at the bar. Ask Pascal the bartender to make you one of his special cocktails… and the rates are reasonable.

Not the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, but it is in an incredibly handy area, the staff are friendly and professional, and there’s a bunch of friendly regulars. For Paris, I think it’s a good Pied a Terre.

Great location, Metro a couple of blocks away, a little market on the block. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel was small, clean and efficiently run. We would stay again and would recommend it.

Stayed here, twice, when we went to Paris.
Located in the 16^th arr., roughly half a mile from the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. Really convenient location; there are also two metro stations nearby, as well as a convenience store.
The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, even trying to help us get reservations at a restaurant, as I couldn’t figure out the phone! It was especially amusing to come back to the hotel after celebrating New Years Eve in front of the Eiffel Tower only to have the front desk man run over from the bar, greeting us with an intoxicated, but kind, «Bonsoir!» Although he really pronounced it like «bone-​swaaaaaar!» Hilarious!
Room was on the small side, but that’s European standards; Bathroom felt large for Europe, which was nice.
What was most amazing about this hotel was our 2^nd stay. We flew from Paris to Madrid for a few days, then back to Paris to catch our direct flight home to LA. We were snowed in and, for an evening, stayed in a dump! Our flight home was three days later, so Jim G. called this hotel so we could stay there again. He explained the situation and they gave us the same Expedia discount we had initially, which they didn’t have to do at all. They were so kind and understanding in regards to our situation.
If I haven’t won the lottery the next time I go to Paris and aren’t staying at the Ritz, then I’ll stay here again for sure!

I should have known. I was trying to be clever in Paris — hunting for reasonably priced 4 star hotels is tough.
From the outside Garden Elysee looks the part, nice green garden courtyard entrance just off Avenue Kleber in the 16^th. But once inside it was real let down. Average public areas, main lift not working, very narrow corridors and small bedrooms. It wasn’t a dreadful experience and if I had been paying a little less and it had been advertised as 3 stars, I would have been happy enough.
The room service food was decent as was the breakfast. The hotel did have free wifi (amazing how many places still don’t), so that was a plus.
So, perfectly adequate if you need a hotel in the area. Just not really up to the standards one would hope for.
