Melia Paris Vendome

Convenient location: one block from metro at Tuileries Garden, 5-minute walk to La Madeleine church and shopping district, 5-minute walk to l’Orangerie, 10-minute walk to l’Orsay; many cafes and restaurants within two blocks. Friendly, professional staff welcomed us, gave important visitor info, and brought our bags up to our room. Gorgeous furnishings and decor in the sitting areas, restaurant, and breakfast room. A treat and note of gratitude was waiting in our room! Roomy bathroom, ample closet space, a mini-frig, and flatscreen tv in our twin (two twin beds) room. Excellent housekeeping service daily, and more treats and notes left for us during the week! Perfect in every way!

First trip to Paris with our 2 daughters and this (luxury) hotel brand left us disappointed. We expected rooms to be smaller since it was Europe, but didn't expect to feel like we were camping. Electrical in our kids room was not working on one side - hotel didn't respond to our requests. Our room had a toilet in a closet (smaller than an airplane lavatory) where you had to walk to the actual bathroom to use the sink. The mini refrigerator was not working in either room. Card key for room quickly became useless, needing to be replaced at least 3 times. No air conditioning, not sure if it was only heat because of this time of the year. We had to open windows to get air flow and were asked on 2 occasions to close them at the request of hotel staff. Breakfast options were limited for a lactose free diet. Rooms are not soundproof at all and elevators only could accommodate 2 people at a time. I knew to expect the differences, but it left me disappointed that I chose this hotel instead of Westin Vendome.

Travelled in November 2022 Location of the property was excellent. a short walk to dining as well most of the sights for first time visitors. Staff and service are extremely helpful. Breakfast with a good variety, although fruits were limited and the only one coffee machine kept breaking. most of the chairs in the dining hall were squeaky and wobbly. The condition of the building is fair, but the rooms seriously need some updating. the twin box-spring mattresses were a pain-- literally felt like sleeping on a rock. they switched our rooms-- still the same issue. some rooms have weird design-- toilet in the middle of the "grand premium room" without a wash basin and had to walk across the room to wash hands, none of the toilets have a vent. Heating was not uniform and occasionally smelt like burning coal. overall, I would return here for the staff and location, but not for the actual condition of the room.
