I wanted to book the Victor Hugo in Dijon. Somehow I ended up booking this hotel instead. When I realised the mistake (I'm not sure the mistake was entirely my own) I cancelled the reservation, four days before the arrival. But my credit card was charged anyway. When I complained, I was shown the fine print "Non-refundable Deposit: Please note the hotel will charge the first night at
the moment of the reservation. This amount is not refundable" hidden among all the other details. It should be illegal. It certainly is immoral.

We were staying in Victor Hugo hotel for three nights, and had an overall good experience.
the staff is helpful, the rooms are clean, and the hotel surrounding are very peaceful.

One should know that the hotel is located in the suburb of Paris, hence you will have to take a 10 minutes ride with a train, and then change to the Metro, to reach your destination in the city. not bad if you are a light traveler.

one tip - we got seriously lost with our car on our way to the hotel, as this area is really small - so make sure you have a very clear map or instructions how to get there.

This place was good enough, the room was clean, the breakfast was very good, most importantly it is just 5 minutes away from Champs Elise street, and the receptionists are helpful. The neighborhood is very nice, specifically Victor Hugo avenue. you have plenty of options around to eat out.

I did not stay in this hotel, but want to warn travelers about their cancellation policy before booking. I booked this hotel because I followed a link that was meant to be the Best Western Victor Hugo hotel in Paris. However, once I received e-mail confirmation, I noticed that the address was in Clamart, outside of Paris, and opted to cancel immediately. The hotel accepted my cancellation, but charged the first night of my stay even though I'd cancelled three weeks in advance. Apparently it's part of their policy to charge the first night of your stay at the moment you book and not refund it, which is something I've never heard of/experienced before. I would not have booked had I noticed this in advance because I consider a policy like that to be shady. So, fellow travelers, just be careful and make sure you're OK with this ridiculous policy before booking this hotel.
