Hotel California has a great location just off the Champs Elysee but the hotel is grotty and the service is a real let-down. One more thing, while the location is convenient the actual street that the hotel is on is a bit seedy with stripclubs, casinos, and nightclubs that stay open until 6am. more

stayed here totally by mistake! Rooms are very grim with next to no internet access at all. Very limited room service. uncomfortable beds. useless staff. Just very poor all round. one redeeming factor is the slight hint of charm in the peculiar selection of art on the walls and the zebra on the 7th floor..... more

My husband booked our trip as a wedding anniversary present but when I read some of the reviews I was full of trepidation; however I needn't have worried. The staff on reception, especially Coralie, were cheerful, pleasant and helpful. In fact all the staff we encountered, the doormen, barkeeper and chambermaids were very welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable... more

Our stay at the Hotel California in Paris in the summer of 2008 was good. The hotel has an excellent location just off the Champs Elysees (with its high quality shopping and good food) and very close (a couple of blocks) to the arc de triomphe.

The desk staff was very well educated and also very kind and attentive, saying that the foam pillows I have asked for were at the room waiting for me. The bellman, very nice,... more

My husband and I stayed here for two nights while we were in Paris. We arrived about five hours prior to check in. Our room wasn't available yet, so they took our luggage, gave us a few suggestions on where to eat and asked us to come back in a few hours. When we returned, our room was ready and... more

When searching, I pulled up two hotels of the same name. The one I am reviewing is on Rue Berri just off the Champs Elysees. I booked this Paris trip in a hurry. Because this was the first one that popped up on the Orbitz page and was the star rating I wanted, I pounced site unsee. Orbitz is right.... more

Was all excited for a summer weekend break in paris to be only let down by where I was staying. Images on the web set great expectations only to find the elevator not working stuck on floor 2, the rooms extremely old and not reflective at all of the images on their site, paint flakes falling off the wall, a... more

Booked to stay at the Hotel California as it was where a work conference was taking place and decided to stay for the weekend in Paris - so I made a booking on line for the personal time. The incompetence of the desk staff as I was trying to manage changing my booking from the work conference (where I paid... more
