Just returned from a 2 night stay with my mum at this hotel. Before I went I visited the citea la defense website and found the hotel which stated it had an indoor pool. When we got there in our room there was a booklet with the pool opening details, but when I asked in reception where the pool was they said that particular hotel didn't have one. Very disappointed and mislead.
The room was very basic and had a kitchenette which consisted of a miscrowave and hob. We didn't use it but when we went to wash up our plates and cups you aren't provided with any washing up liquid so a warm rinse had to do.
On the second night we booked breakfast for the morning and told the opening times were 8 till 10. We went down to the breakfast room at 8 and it had approx. 6 tables in it (even though the hotel accomodates 185 rooms) and was so busy we couldn't get it in. The room was tiny and the continental breakfast was basic. We grabbed a couple of crossiants and went back to our room. We ventured back down there at half 8 to see if we could get a coffee which had run out, just like everything else. The waitress didn't seem to care and just went about her own business. Absolute shambles and waste of money considering it's 7 euro's each.
The location of the hotel was quite good. We were about 10 minutes walk from La Defense. The hotels book you taxi's if you ask them to to get you to the major attractions. We walked to the arche de triompe and eiffel tower which took about an hour. Fun to see all the side streets etc though.
Overall extremely basic hotel with an average location. I personally wouldn't revisit.
