It was ok, but very noisy! Don't get THE room with streetview, garbage truck passes by every morning, waking everybody up.

Also, Skip breakfast here. Not tasty at all! You can beter look for a place nearby wear they serve petite dejeuner

Nothing can beat the location. Ten minutes walk either you choose Trocadero or Champs Elysees. A lot of bars and restaurants close to the hotel. Good sleeping quality cause very quiet street and good beds. Average breakfast. Be aware of tiny, tiny rooms. We've stayed in number one on the ground floor. Small room and small bathroom, but no noice during night time.

The rooms were clean and nice but extremely small, even for a French hotel. Nevertheless, I feel that we received a good deal and we both enjoyed the hotel. The breakfast was certainly not worth the extra 15 Euros that it cost, so you should get something much better from one of the bakeries a few blocks away. The Wifi was pretty awful here, so don't expect to get too much work done or make phone calls over Skype.

If you're ok with those caveats, it's a great place to stay.

I nearly didn’t stay here at all. I had rented a studio apartment for my four nights in Paris but, by the third night, the sofabed was beginning to do awful things to my back – so I decided to move to a hotel for my last night. I couldn’t have been happier with my choice of the Ambassade.

Price was an issue as I’d already paid for the studio, so to find a hotel like this in one of my favourite parts of Paris for 69 euros per night – well, frankly, it was serendipity. I found it by searching on the Hotels Combined website but, rather than book it immediately, I went round to have look for myself.

I think that I was lucky. I asked the nice man at the front desk if it was possible to see a room and he gave me the keys to number 14, one of the corner rooms. It was charming – one of the largest in the hotel, judging by the fire escape plan on the back of the door – and I loved everything about it. Shame I was only there for a night! The corner “comfort” rooms are usually more expensive than the other rooms (and almost twice the rate that I paid) but, from the sound of it, their size makes them worth the extra money.

The room was on the first floor and had two large, flower-bedecked windows overlooking rue Lauriston and rue Cimarosa. Quirkily shaped, it nevertheless was quite spacious with all mod cons and a generous bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. Some thought had gone into the furniture design with its Art Nouveau-influenced decoration – perhaps a bit heavy, but afternoon sunshine brightened the room. Thick curtains shut out all light at night and I had no problems with street noise. Everything spotless – and a comfortable bed as well! Bliss!

As others have said, the hotel is close to a metro station but also is handy to good bus routes and is a short walk from Trocadéro with its fabulous views of the Eiffel Tower. I often stay nearby in Passy (not in the studio with the sofabed) but was unfamiliar with the area around rue Lauriston; I was pleasantly surprised by the number of eateries in the hotel’s vicinity, so you don’t need to go far for a meal if you don’t want to. I didn’t have breakfast at the Ambassade, so I can’t comment on that.

TA lists the hotel as a three star but it is actually rated as a two star hotel. For me, the rating is not an issue – I love small, modest hotels like this and I can’t praise it highly enough for the value that I received from it. I’m aware that, due to the circumstances of my stay, I could well have looked at the experience through slightly rose-tinted glasses… But, upon reflection, I still think that it’s a very nice little hotel. I usually stay in apartments in Paris but after this experience, I’m tempted to change to hotels for shorter stays – well, to the Ambassade at any rate!
