I've lived in Paris for a few years and I go back there 3 or 4 times a year. I've tried all the hotels, Ritz, Crillon, Four Seasons, Costes, Prince de Galles, Bristol, which are all very nice but also very expensive and not always up to the task in terms of service (Costes, Four Seasons). The Bedford is ideally... more

we stayed at this hotel for 5 nights & love the location. the rooms are good although a little small the bathroom nice but needs a little attention. However for a 3 star European hotel it is much better than you would expect. in fact I have stayed at 4 star hotels in Paris that are not as good. The... more

Stay in this part of Paris regularly for business and while I don't exactly get giddy with excitement in anticipation of my stay at the Bedford, I find myself gravitating back there every time I try somewhere else. The basic rooms are way too small for my liking but the superior is a decent size. Skip breakfast - it is... more

This is a very quiet and clean hotel in a great position for sightseeing and shopping in central Paris. It is about a 5 minutes walk from the Opera House or the Place de la Concorde and there's a choice of several metro stations nearby which make it ideal for travelling further afield. It felt very safe, even when walking... more

The Bedford does not deserve its 4 star rating - service is haphazard and not particularly friendly, facilities are somewhat limited. There is a small roped-off area at the front of the hotel for arrivals and departures which is monitored from reception via camera , though no-one came to greet or help with the bags. Our superior room was spacious... more

Having stayed in a large number of hotels in Paris from the simplest to the most expensive over more than fifty years, this is definitely one of the better ones, especially as it comes at a reasonable price (though breakfast was not included). Excellent location for opera, shopping, sightseeing. We were on the 7th floor and room was large for... more

Just returned from a three night stay in the hotel Bedford from 11/11/08 to 14/11/08. Booked flights from Cardiff with Flybe and accommodation through Thomson city breaks which was significantly cheaper than booking with the hotel direct. Arranged transfers from Paris Cdg with Inter shuttle who were very efficient with prompt timekeeping. On arrival we had a pleasant surprise when... more

Have just returned from four weeks travelling in Europe and our five nights at the Bedford Hotel were the best. We found the location to be perfect - quiet but convenient to everything a tourist in Paris requires. Our superior room that we had booked on the hotel website was located on the top floor. The room was clean and... more

Recently stayed at the Bedford Hotel and it was a nice hotel, but: 1. They mixed up my room booking. Even though I had written confirmation (with a booking number) of a room booked with a double bed, they had overbooked the rooms and I was left to stay in a room with a single bed unless I wanted to... more
