Untrained, impolite staff. From the doorman, to the front desk, to the restaurant, we have never been treated as rudely as we were at this hotel. I speak fluent French, so it's not a language or cultural issue. The staff simply have no idea about how to treat their guests. Stay away. More

I am a Parisian and I am used to places where you pay a lot for a poor service. But the Hotel Costes tops it all by a very arrogant staff who looks at you from above. They play on this wave that has been around in Paris for years now, where the more arrogant you are means the more... More

Not to be missed, especially if you want to see some gorgeous people! You'll forget about the food as you'll be staring at the people walking by. I loved it! More

We have encountered the worst experience in our life with this hotel. We had dinner on Xmas evening, and we asked the hotel staff to take care of our coat & belongings as usual. Then, when we were going to leave the hotel, our belonging (a Xmas gift that we bought) was missing. It was clear that the hotel staff... More

I stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago when I was away for a weekend break with my Godparents and best friend. It was my first time to Paris and it was an absolute luxury. It is in a beyond perfect location within walking distance of all the best shops, Louvre, Palais Gardens and the Champs Elysee. The... More

I guess with a hotel as Costes, you either "love it or hate it". If you are a traditional and conservative traveller, you may be better off with a reputable branded hotel. However, if... More

This place is an institution, the status quo of cool for the past 10 years and the Grande Dame of snobbery, but is is a must-see, even if just for a drink. Which is probably better off because the rooms are soooo small. It's all about the mood. More

Let's face it, Paris by night/early morning is great. But if you are in Paris for that, you need a hotel ambience that suites that mood, and Costes is it. The decor is beautiful and the rooms are super dark which is perfect if you are clubbing. The scene at the hotel is consistent with what you are looking for... More

As a place to hang out and people watch, Hotel Costes is great--almost always packed with stylish Parisians and foreigners. But as a place to stay, I found it massively overpriced for what you get. My room was really small; there were only the most basic amenities; and it was super hot (and there was no way to turn down... More
