Villa des Ternes

As always when having to book a business trip to Paris we were looking for a nice, medium priced hotel conveniently located, i.e. close to a metro station and easy access to La Defense/​Colombes.
We usually use a hotel close to Arc de Triomphe/​Etoile but prices have gone up there recently so we can no longer book it. The limit per night is 200 EUR, breakfast included, which La Villa des Ternes with 174 EUR/​room/​night (sans bf) fit just nicely. There are cheaper rates if you book early and/​or different room categories.
We found La Villa des Ternes online, as a recently renovated hotel within walking distance to Porte Maillot metro N*1 and RER station, which is great for both La Defense and the airport.
The hotel is on busy Avenue des Ternes, which makes it a bit loud for rooms that go out toward the street however I was on the 6^th floor and it was absolutely fine at night with a closed balcony door and the AC running.
The reception manager even speaks quite good German and was very helpful finding us another room as due to a glitch in the booking process only 1 room got booked — we were lucky to get another one with no problem at all.
Hall/​lobby and bedrooms are very modern in grey/​silvery or brown/​golden colouring, the lobby offers an iMac for easier online browsing, free (and quite fast) wifi is also available.
Staff we found to be very different in demeanour with the Chef de reception being extremely nice and accommodating, one male receptionist — whom we had to deal with at check-​in — showing no passion for his job and/​or the hotel guests at all, yet another young man and young lady receptionist being very helpful and professional.
Beds are very comfortable– not too hard, not too soft, bathrooms modern and clean.
TV programs are mostly in French although I did find some with audio in the original version, to be changed via the remote.
We did not have breakfast there thus I cannot comment on that.
I will use this hotel on my next trip hoping that rates won’t have increased until then.;-)
