OK - so it isn't "really" Paris...but if business dictates it can be reasonably convenient. The major "plus" here would be the staff. They were unfailingly polite and engaging. When the staff is nice and the cost is reasonable one has to overlook some of the mildly incongruent elements. The overall architecture is best described as "bad 70's". It is attached to some sort of slightly under used shopping plaza and other convention buildings. And the hotel restaurant is OK but far from the standards of the Hilton brand. Rooms are decent and afforded a nice quiet sleep after a long flight. Furthermore, my room was ready when I arrived mid-morning (how often have you had to sit in the lobby of some hotel while jet lagged waiting for a room to become available?)

Reasonable business hotel with comfortable enough rooms and an ok restaurant. But this sort of hotel proves itself by how well they deal with problems and here the Hilton really struggled. I had a problem with the wifi connection in the room (which you pay 20 euros per night for!). Basically it just wasn't working, although other spots in the hotel were ok. I reported this to the reception staff who told me I had to phone the service provider to sort it out - sorry but this is the hotels problem and they should sort it out. There's no way I should be chasing around another company to try to fix the problem. The hotel staff agreed to do this but after several hours of waiting it became clear they weren't doing anything. They eventually sent up their IT person to check the problem. This consisted of turning his phone on to find exactly the same problem I'd experienced. I was then told they'd deal with a-Bahn (the service provider) to get the problem fixed. This resulted in a 20 min call where a-Bahn admitted they didn't know what the problem was. After all this the reception staff reluctantly offered me a move to another room.
What bugs me most is not the wifi problem, a dodgy router can happen, but the fact that I had to jump through so many hoops to get a solution. A good hotel would have just moved me straight away and dealt with the problem. The Hilton felt it necessary to make me prove the problem to them several times before they'd act. Not good service, especially at 280 euros a night!!

I have tayed at this hotel many times. I was there for a trade show at Parc des Expositions. The weather was terrible with heavy snow. I am really pleased to have been in the Hilton again. As it is located in the CNIT complex you can walk from the Metro into the hotel without going outside a big plus.

The staff are always so helpful and polite and for easy access to central Paris on line 1 of the Metro or by tram to Porte de Versailles its very convenient. Usually the prices are very competitive for this level of hotel. I would recommend it unreservedly.

I didn’t understand the area the hotel was located but on arrival I liked that it is located in a business area of Paris, reminded a bit like Canary Wharf in London. My Parisian friends didn’t quite understand why I booked in this location but I liked it. It is only a 15 minute ride on the underground to Gare Du Nord.

On arrival I was checked in by Angela, not the warmest of welcomes, she well courteous to a point but her conversation with her colleague seemed more important. I had already been up over 24hours and travelling from London was quite excited to be in Paris for the first time, but the check in left me a little deflated.

The room was clean and tidy, a little dated in areas but above all acceptable. I don’t know what the star rating was but I'd give a good 4 stars. The view I didn’t mind, I found it quite interesting but I wasn’t planning on staying in the room for long periods... I had a quick shower and went out so only slept in the room. The bed was comfortable and the linen was lovely and crisp. I forgot my UK adaptor and went to concierge but there was nobody at the desk. The hotel opens onto a shopping centre so I checked the shops for an adaptor but no UK adaptors, naturally, I was in France. So I headed back to the concierge but I waited about 5 minutes and nobody came, there was a man stood around in a suit, I imagine a lobby host and he could see me waiting but offered no attention.

I went to the room, my iPhone rapidly dying and I had already purchased internet to let friends know I arrived safely by email as no network on my mobile. I called the guest service centre they said they would send someone up. Well within 3 minutes concierge was at my door with an adaptor. They charge a deposit for safe return of the adaptor but I was amazed at the speedy service, and the French gentleman explained in English the deposit procedure and he was the first one to come across as though he actually cared, didn’t see his name, deep voice, big in stature, he should be acknowledged for his service!

I slept well, check out was with Angela again, she was OK but wasn’t that interested in how my stay was, just a simple check out, her English seemed very good but she didn’t speak much to me. I wanted to leave my bag as it was 11am and my Eurostar was not until 9pm and it was quite heavy, I didn’t like to ask Angela so I carried it all around Paris with me.

All in all I would stay again at this hotel and have recommended it to others already.
