Au Grand Hotel Francais, Paris

My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Paris and chose to stay at this hotel. It was simply wonderful. Its outside of Paris lights and action but it was an amazing hotel to stay in. The staff was kind and were very helpful with directions and places to see. I highly recommend this place!!

My husband and I were in Paris in May. The hotel was perfect! We made the most of each day, so the room size did not matter. The hotel and room were beautiful, and we loved that it was located outside the city. It made the visit feel authentic. The manager, Zyad, made us feel welcome and provided us with helpful information for our day trip to Normandy. The metro provided easy access to all tourist attractions, and there were plenty of conveniences nearby. What an outstanding way to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! We'd recommend this hotel to anyone.

We booked our stay with Grand Hotel Francais through Travel Republic as a Christmas getaway and were looking forward to our trip, especially due to the reviews which indicated the friendly nature of the hotel. Unfortunately our Christmas plans were dashed when the Eurostar snow problems of ’09 set in, meaning that we were not able to make our arrangements. We contacted the Grand Hotel Francais and also Travel Republic to inform them of our difficulties, Travel Republic could see our problems and requested that the hotel refund. We also advised the hotel that we would be happy with alternate dates. The ‘friendly’ hotel has not responded to any of the emails that we sent to them over a two week period, and have refused alternate dates or a refund despite informing them of our problems prior to arrival. We did not have non refundable reservations and were kind and courteous throughout. We would not know if the hotel is good or not, nor if the hotel is friendly but as they were not even as friendly enough to reply to an email about our booking which we consider to be nothing but rude. We hope that they enjoy prospering out of others misfortunes, and they are the only company that we booked with that would not provide alternatives or refunds. All this at Christmas, in the snow, we wonder where the festive spirit of thes Grand Hotel Francais is? Would you want to book this hotel, really? We would never book this hotel again, and certainly not through Travel Republic. We have since rebooked our trip to Paris at another hotel and would not recommend this hotel at any cost. What a poor and miserable service they provided, and a terrible shame that they don’t even respond to paying customers.

We had a very nice experience here. The rooms were clean and the front desk person was very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Will be back.

Stayed at the hotel for our 30th wedding anniversary trip; this was also our first time in Paris. It was clean, with modern decor, and a friendly hotel staff. If you want a place to stay away from the touristy areas of Paris, this is the place. There are 2 metro stations less than a 3 minute walk from the hotel. There is a mini market and a patisserie across the street. We had cafe au lait and croissaints there every morning for about 8 euro, then we went ahead and purchased our lunch baguette sandwiches for about 12 euro before heading out to see the sights. We would definitely stay here again. We stayed at another hotel in Paris (after coming back from a side trip from Norrmandy) which was more expensive than Au Grand Hotel, and walking distance to the Eiffel, but we prefer this hotel and would come back any day.

we recently stayed in the grand hotel francais , staff was exelent and the rooms was very clean , easy by to metro !!

This was a charming hotel a metro ride from all the city's sights. Small rooms, but very clean with everything you could you need - and the shower is amazing!! Very friendly and helpful staff. A little way out of the centre of the city, but all in all, a great hotel.

We stayed there in spetmber , my husban and I , we had a lovely exprience , clean small room but like all Parisian hotel bu all you need to enjoy vacation thank to the staff wich is perfect

we would like to say "MERCI" to the staff we had a realy nice stay !! clean room well kept a very good location near to evrything!! we recommand the grand hotel francais !

Very nice hotel and I selected it based on reading so many of the other reviews BUT you are definitely out to the edge of the city and will need to use the Metro to go to any of the major attractions - not bad - just be aware. Also better choice of cafes and restaurants toward the center although we found wonderful bakeries and there's a small super market across the street. Enjoy
