My husband and I decided to go to Paris on September, 2010. After my entire incessant, almost insane, search for a hotel in Paris (everything looked the same, after hundreds of hotels’ pictures), I thought the Best Western Hotel Elysees Bassano was a good option. The price of the package (hotel plus flight) sold by Orbitz seemed a good deal. I have some requirements which I don’t make exception at the booking time, like WIFI availability, well located hotel, clean and comfortable rooms, not necessarily chic. Based in these items, the only thing that was worth staying in this hotel was its location. Regarding the other requirements, the hotel completely failed. The hotel is near of Champs Elysées, subway, and a lot of restaurants. Very convenient location! We saved a lot of euros by not using taxis. On the other hand, it was almost impossible to use the WIFI internet. The internet just worked one day, in the other 6 days, we had to use the computer located in the reception which was very inconvenient: after a tired day and some blisters, you just want to take a bath, wear comfortable clothes, and use the computer in your own bed. The room was very small and dark! Very depressing decoration, it seemed I was in the Draculas’s room. I can’t say that the room was not cleaned, however the minibar smelled like spoiled food. We complained about it to the receptionist, and then they tried to resolve the problem, but the smell still remained. After that, we did not open the minibar again! Neither we ate anything in the minibar. The bathroom was renovated with adequate space. Definitely this hotel doesn’t have soundproofing walls at all. We can hear everything from the other rooms……I mean everything. All in all, I think this hotel is overpriced; you can get a better hotel for 270 dollars per night.
