Best Western Mercedes

Nice size room with upgraded bathroom

The Best Western Mercedes was a nice hotel located in a residential neighborhood. The metro was a five minute walk from the hotel, however I didn't feel it was so safe to walk around there late at night since not many tourists stayed in this area. The hotel is a good 10-15 minute walk to the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe. The room was a good size as well as the bathroom with modern fixtures. I did not get the breakfast buffet because I felt it was a little pricey. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful with directions.

Charming Location

This hotel is very conveniently located in a lovely area of Paris. The rooms were clean and beautiful and made us feel we had a true Parisian experience.

Pleasurable experience

First time in Paris, and it was a pleasure staying here. Nice furniture, style, bathroom, overall great feel. Plenty of room (a rarity in Paris), in a posh neighborhood, down the street from the Arch de Triumph. I actually used my rewards points towards this room, but it seemed like a great deal compared to others.

Hotel for Tourist

Affordable rate, friendly English speaking hotel staff,and location near subway and walking distance to Arc de Triomphe.

C'est Manifique!!

Well, I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The location was in a very quiet, clean, safe, quaint, & classic Parisian neighborhood with absolutely no tourists. We really knew what it felt like to live in the city as a native. It's extremely conveniently located across the street from a little supermarket (to save a little more money), local bakeries and butchers, and about 50 meters from the closest metro stop (Line 3 - Wagram). There was also a little wine store a block away that makes personalized labels (for free) with the purchase of a bottle of wine...very cool gift for only 7 Euro. You can see the l'arc de Triomphe from the hotel, but it's a brisk 15 minute walk. The Hotel itself was a chic art deco on the outside, but completely renovated on the inside. It was extremely clean and very well maintained. It was classically European...a little snug for two men, but for the price...it was a steal, comparitively speaking. It had all of the amenities of a 4 or 5 star hotel, including a fridge. The elevator was clostrophobic at best (which is normal, actually), and the walls were SUPER thin. The bathrooms were very nice with full tile all around, and well appointed. Every room has a window that opens to the street for some fresh air. There was a LCD flat screen TV to watch the local football game. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and most spoke enough Enlgish to communicate effectively. It was very Anglo oriented, and most of the other guests that we observed were also English speaking. I never tried the Breakfast, because I felt that 15 Euro was outrageous for croissants and orange juice. The internet in the Hotel Lobby is horribly slow, so don't waste your money on an interent card there. And for some reason, the maids insisted on cleaning our room...even after I specifically told her to her face, NOT to service the room. Hmm...I wonder what that was about. Anyway, nothing was taken, so maybe they just wanted to make sure that the room was
