Renaissance Paris Vendome

"We stayed at the Renaissance Paris and overall had a good experience. The location is truly phenomenal — close to major sights, great restaurants, and easy transportation. It’s the kind of spot that makes exploring Paris effortless, and for that alone, the hotel has a lot of value. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the warm service throughout our stay. The hotel itself, however, is very old and a bit run down in areas. You can feel the history of the building (which is charming in some ways), but there are definitely spots that could use refreshing. From what we’ve heard, the property is currently under renovation, which is promising and hopefully means a much-improved guest experience in the near future. That said, the comfort, the service, and especially the unbeatable location made it a solid stay — and once the renovations are complete, this hotel has the potential to be truly exceptional. Overall: a very good base for exploring Paris, with upgrades on the horizon."

"How this hotel is even a "5 star" hotel is simply deceptive and a joke. I stayed here for a work conference and even though the location is great (right next to the tuileries garden and the place vendome), there is nothing left to be desired. It seemed that the owners just cannot be bothered to maintain this hotel and it really showed. 1. main revolving doors not working and never once been fixed during our stay 2. shower stalls are perpetually clogged, needed to be unclogged and pumped daily 3. tap in handwash basin misaligned so water keeps spraying everywhere everytime you wash your hands 4. WC is also clogged, we complained and the plumbers came to fix 5. panel above WC falls off everytime you flush, never mind i just pushed it back in. 6. the lifts didnt work 2 out of 3 days. On the morning of departure i had to carry my suitcases down the emergency stairwell!! 7. the doors and walls are thin and you can hear every noise and footstep outside. TOTALLY APPALLING. AND FOR 500 EUROS A NIGHT A COMPLETE RIPOFF."

"What a great hotel! Location is excellent. Quick walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame, Ste. Chappelle and Arche de Triumphe. And the staff is excellent. If you meet Eric the concierege, say hi to him for me. He gave us great tips like going early to the train station Le Gare De Leon for our nonstop train to Avignon. He said we could enjoy a beverage or snack in Le Train Bleu, a restaurant featured in Murder on the Orient Express movie. What a great tip! The restaurant is quite a surprise in the middle of the train station! You have to see the ceilings to believe it! Eric got a big kick out of our car for a Paris tour, a tiny Citroen. He went out to talk to our driver and was really smiling! As Marriott Platinum Elite guests, we enjoyed 2 free $35 breakfast buffets every morning which was good news/bad news - delicious and I hope the calories didn't count! And the bartender was a delight to watch - a true professional. All in all, an excellent stay!"
