I decided to surprise my wife with a trip to Paris for her birthday, and I instantly though of the Four Seasons George V.

For a price of 950 euros per night, I was expecting big things from this hotel but in the end I was left deeply disappointed and rather short changed.

From the moment we had arrived, I had a feeling of being misplaced, to the extent that I was too scared to touch or feel anything in case it brought attention to us. We certainly did not feel at home here.The only other time that this feeling occurred was when we both went to the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.

The staff at the George V were okay but not overly friendly or (I personnally felt) would not go that extra mile. It was like they knew we were not Billionaires and perhaps felt that they needed to treated us differently.

The rooms were nothing special. We stayed in a King Size deluxe room and it looked like it was in need of a refurbishment. Hidden inside the TV cabinet lurks a monster (cathode-ray tube) TV. I was surprised as I thought that given the amount of guests that stay here and the prestige of this hotel, a flat screen TV would be expected.

As usual with Four Seasons there are no freebies except that our room rate was bed and breakfast and came with two bottles of water at turn down. The cost of the laundry for two ladies trousers, a pair of undergarments and blouse was a mere 120 euros.

Don't get me wrong, this hotel is truly beautiful and the location is perfect for sightseeing and shopping. Other than that this hotel is nothing special and for the money spent, I would certainly be looking at cheaper high end alternative hotel for our next Paris Trip.

My wife and I stayed at the Four Seasons in June this year for one week. When we arrived we were greeted at reception by the friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The rooms were spacious, clean and well maintained, we also had a flat screen tv to watch before we went out each evening. We spent quite a bit of time around the pool which was great, pool bar handily located, staff regularly walking around with complimentary cold face towels and fruit. One of the best experiences was the Brazilian barbecue cooked by the hotel chefs around the pool, food was top notch. Similarly the night after was an Italian theme with all the usual favorite dishes. My wife booked a massage in the hotel spa which she loved. All through our stay the staff made us feel looked after and were very welcoming so would definitely book here again.

From check in to check out a perfect stay. Great staff, great food (Le Cinq is wonderful) perfect housekeeping.

No complaints at all.
