We got a fabulous deal at £70 a night. As such, felt the room was value for money particularly as we were using it as a pit stop. The rooms are not overly large but certainly comfortable for two people, and the bathroom was functional. One criticism is that the central staircase acted like an atrium and the acoustics of each level would travel all the way through the hotel.

Location wise, the hotel is definitely on a great spot right between the Arch de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower. Nearby bistros were a tad touristy by nature. We enjoyed our meals nonetheless. The metro was extremely easy to use and because of the summer holidays, there were no crowds. A very relaxing time of the year to go to Paris.

Hotel Kleber is definitely deserved of its 3 star rating. Not sure if it's worth the 4 stars they claim they will be receiving though.

the location of this 3* hotel is excellent (walking distance to Etoile, Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysee, etc) but the rooms are very small and somewhat "cheesy". Not sure why the Michelin Guide rates it as a "red" hotel. However, if you can get a "deluxe" room at around €105 per night including breakfast and taxes then it is exceptionally good value for such an expensive city.

I just returned from a trip where I stayed in Hotel Kleber for 1 night for the Paris Marathon.

Before booking this hotel I had not looked at the reviews on here (as I usual do) as I was being guided by price and specifically proximity to the Arc de Triomphe for the marathon start line. So coming on here this morning and seeing all the negative reviews I was very surprised!

Now I always take very negative and completely glowing reviews with a pince of salt as people tend to get very emotional about their experiences rather than being objective. But the number of negative reviews does tend to suggest something is up...however I have to say we had a perfectly nice experience at this charming hotel. The reception is beautifully presented and the manager went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible and took care of a number of special requests based on the nature of our visit.

Yes the lift is small, but so what? It works and it gets you to the right floor, there's no need to get too upset about this unless you are transporting an elephant to your room. Our room was very modern and a lot more spacious than other central hotels in Paris. The plasma tv was excellent, the bed comfortable and the jacuzzi bath a huge hit! Yes there is a see-through mirror between the bedroom and the bathroom but personally I had no problem with that, my wife and I are not one of those toilet-phobe couples!

The surrounding area is also fantastic with some superb restuarants, bars and sights to visit. The hotel is about 5 minutes away from the Arc de Triomphe.

I'm not saying other negative reviewers are wrong but we just didn't have the same experience. Having stayed at a number of hotels in Paris this was far better than any of them. Trying to decide whether to stay here or not would be a tough call based on the reviews completed to date, but I'm happy to recommend it.

Although the hotel is reasonable, my vacation was spoiled by the theft of my money deposited in the safe of the room. After reporting to the police the hotel directed me to contact their insurance company (Verlingue). After producing proofs, the insurance company accepted my claim and reimbursed a part of the stolen money. According to them the remainder has to be covered by the hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel has refused to do so and has not even replied to repeated correspondence. A shame!
