we stayed in the Kyriad for 3 nights on the first weekend in february, we recieved a very warm welcome upon arrival.

we arrived at the hotel at approx 11.30am on friday 3rd feb, check in time starts at 14.00, we were told that the rooms were not ready and would have to come back which was not a problem to us becasue we were all humgry and wanted something to eat. we went back to the hotel at 12.40 and they checked us in with no problem at all.

the rooms were very clean and modern but were quite small again this was not too much of a problem to us as we were only staying for 3 nights, The only other thing i could fault it for was that there was no mirror above the dressing table for my partner to do her make-up, we did find a solution as we took the mirror off of the shower room wall and placed it on the dressing table.

the mini bar in the rooms i thought were very good value for money at 3 euros per item this included, 1664, coca cola, orange juice, and bottled water (sparkling and still).

breakfast in the hotel is 10euros per person per day (eat all you can) it was very fresh just out of the oven.

taxi the the eifel tower was about 15 - 20 Euros (DO NOT ORDER TAXI'S FROM RECEPTION THEY COST MORE FOR SOME REASON) it was much Quicker, cheaper and easier to flag a taxi down on the main road into paris oposite the hotel. taxi to and from the hotel is about 50 euros each way.

eating out - saint michelle is well worth the 20euro taxi ride to as there is lots of bars and resturants that are well priced, it also fells very lively there too.

drinking in paris is very expensive so if you are going there to get drunk take a lot of money with you we paid 14.50 euros for a pint of beer and a vodka and coke.

hope this helps

Excellent value for the money. The rooms are nice and clean but small, bathroom was quite nice but could be cleaner. Breakfast at 8€ is decent, some 4 types of good hams, lots of pastries, jams, fruit, cheese, yoghurt, coffee/tea.

The negative is that Courbevoie, where it is located is actually not in Paris so taxis have a higher rate. The hotel is actually is quite far from la defense, certainly not a walking distance with your luggage. The bus stop from the hotel is 5 mins by foot, and 10mins by bus). Therefore if you're in a rush, and need to go by taxi, a trip from the hotel to la defense is about 10€ and a trip from la defence to the hotel is around 8€ (they charge for coming to the hotel to pick you up). A taxi from Mercure hotel (near bus stop) is about 5€. If you are planning to be in a rush all the time, and anticipate travelling by taxi to the metro you could be looking to spend some 10-20€ daily on taxis, which could turn out to be cheaper to take the Pullman or sth very close to la Defense. Its sort of a pity to lose like 1 hour on buses to la defense every day (wait time + travel). I would recommedn writing down bus arrival times at the bus stop, bot to la defense and from la defense.

But the hotel itself is very pleasant - you actually want to come back and lie on your bed after a whole day of walking which is important.

My husband and i stayed at this hotel recently when we went to Paris for the weekend for our anniversary. The rooms arent huge but ample and very clean. We were lucky enough to have a room with a great view of the Eiffel Tower, beautiful at night all lit up. The staff at this hotel could not have been more friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a quiet area a little bit off the beaten track but all the main sites and attractions are only a short bus ride away and the bus stop is 2 minutes from the hotel. We will no doubt stay there again the next time we visit Paris, its a great city and we had the best time.

Stayed at Kyriad La Defense Hotel for 2 nights from Friday to Sunday and payed 124€ (excl. BF), what's a pretty reasonable price for a 3***-hotel in Paris.

Rooms are not large, but ok. Clean shower and toilet, bed was really good as well. Flat-TV (only french channels). Optional breakfast offers the common continental breakfast program and various coffees. Tasty.

Hotel staff was VERY friendly and was also speaking english pretty well.

The only "con" regarding the hotel is the location itself, because La Defense is pretty far out. Walking to the city centre? - No way (you can see the Tour Eiffel from your window...looks quite near). You gotta take a bus or a taxi in order to get to the next Metro-station and then it's roughly a 15min-ride to the centre. Not very convenient, but ok. When returning to the hotel in the night, you gotta take taxi to the hotel what is about 5-7€. Also ok. (Last Bus leaves at 9.15pm)

In total: Not taking the location into account, the hotel is a CLEAR recommendation.
