I have stayed here two years in a row. Fantastic location, crisp and clean, good breakfast, friendly service, quiet, unobtrusive, modern decor and round the corner form Boissiere metro station and a 5 minute walk to the cafes of the Trocadero. Also v close to Champs Elysees. Half and hour- 40 mins total to the Gare du Nord. Will definitely stay here again on the next Paris trip.

We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights over the New Year. We found the staff both very helpful and polite. The rooms are small but very neat and tidy. With the bathroom being quite spacious in comparison. The dining room is very small and fills up very quickly so get down for breakfast before the last rush at 9:30. That said the breakfast is very good with plenty to eat. The location is perfect 10 minutes walk to the Eiffel Tower and 15 to the Arc de Triomphe in a quite area of the city. Over all we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it as long as you are aware of the size of the rooms. Which we believe is the norm for Paris. Paud and Dympna, Ireland.

Having stayed at many Parisian hotels over the years I'm always on the look out for different places to stay and was persuaded by the write ups for this one to give it a try.
First impression is that it is in a terrific location, near all the main sites for visitors wishing to look around Paris and the staff are efficient and polite. But on entry you can see that It isnt a "boutique hotel" as I have seen claimed. It is very small and feels like one of the classic old parisian hotels that has been given a quick makeover so that the prices can be bumped up.
My room was very small, overheated (the a/c failed to work) the window would not stay open and when it was there was a loud noise from an extractor system outside. My bed had a matress protector on it which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. Bathroom fittings are a gaudy gold colour which doesnt fit in with the rest of the decor and the towel rail fell off the wall when you hung a towel on it.
For English speaking visitors the only international TV is CNN. There is no bar which I found strange and breakfast at 16 euros is a shocker.
At 200+ euros a night this is not good value. Many chain hotels provide more for less in equally good locations.
Not recommended.

Hotel was very basic. Location was fantastic!Contrary to some of the other reviews we found the hotel staff at reception (on arrival) very polite and helpful. However on our day of departure, we had booked an early wake up call - that never came and resulted in us having a horrendous last day, and nearly missing out flight home! Our bedroom was tiny, but clean. Overall our stay was average.

Stayed a Friday and Saturday night at the Waldorf Trocadero. I, an American who speaks a bit of French, was traveling with French friends, so that might have made things a tad smoother for me (if you've been to Paris, you might know what I'm talking about).

My room was very pretty, nicely-appointed, comfortable, and quiet. Tiny, though...But that's Paris. A not-quite-queen-sized bed, with just-enough room on either side of it to maneuver. A small desk at the foot of the bed, and a decent-sized closet. Bathroom was very nice, a good shower (with a full door...None of that 'water all over the floor' phenomenon one seems to encounter at lots of European hotels). A good TV with CNN included.

The hotel is located about 10 minutes by foot from the Trocadero. A few cafes there, and a few restaurants between the hotel and there, but for the most part, this part of town is very sparse in terms of action, very 'banker's hours'...Offices and the like. Some interesting book shops and antique shops, too. At the same time, though, very peaceful, and certainly very pretty, with the Eiffel Tower poking up above the buildings in many areas around the hotel. Easy to get lost around here, as it all looks the same. You can also walk to the Arc du Triomphe, which takes about 20 minutes, I'd say.

Upon check-in, the only problem was...of all things...the toilet. It had a conspicuous 'reminder' of the previous guest on the bottom of the seat. Figuring they'd be mortified at the most basic of housekeeping gaffes (and since damn...That's just nasty), I told the front desk, and (with appropriately-mortified looks on their faces) said they'd have it cleaned. When I returned a couple of hours later...Nope...Still there. I cleaned it myself. No other issues of a 'basic hygiene' nature past that, though.

Breakfast was very good. Anything you'd want, with a cheery pour of 'the beverage of your choice' from a waitress. The lounge is quiet and comfortable, with a good selection of art books, and daily copies of the International Herald Tribune.

Staff was helpful, both in arranging reservations, as well as in checking in and out. Everyone spoke good English, and in one encounter, I watched one of the attendants seamlessly juggling French, English, and Spanish with a few people.

A very nice stay overall. My only reservation is the location of the hotel. If it's peace and quiet you want, you could do no better. But if you intend to do a lot of exploring of Paris by foot, you'd probably find yourself hitting the metro to get to a different part of town for that.
