Our stay at Hotel Costes was amazing ! Very trendy hotel in a great location, close to all the shopping in Paris. Amazing restaurant with a lot of celebrities ! Try it and you won't regret it !

Costes has got two thing going for it:
1. The location
2. Decor and courtyard terrace restaurant

Against:
1. Extremely expensive
2. Poxy small rooms - even the suites
3. Arrogant, rude and very unfriendly service - they make you feel like they are doing you a favour serving you...
4. Food was poor, there are much nicer restaurants in Paris

My girlfriend surprised me with a weekend Paris and when she told me we were going to stay at Costes the excitement was dampened immediately as my previous visits to the Costes had all been very aggrevating, irritating, not relaxing and very disappointing. Nevertheless, I was hoping this time it might be different however as expected nothing had changed. It was still the same arrogant, unhelpful, rude and impersonal bunch as always.
Repeatedly through out the weekend (you would think they remember you after a few days), I was chased off tables and chairs by pitbull staff whenever I went outside to sit down for a drink on a virtually empty terrace and was told "you can't sit there". Only when I told them I was staying at the hotel they would mumble something and reluctantly leave me alone. Service was appalling and everytime I tried to get their attention they would just look the other way (almost saying to me, "you wait and I'll come over when I feel like it". Needless to say, I never got the feeling I was treated like a human being (let alone a customer) and when you are paying 750 euros a night and 10 euros for a cup of tea this is the least thing you can expect.
Then, to top it all off on the Sunday morning the telephone in the room rang (9:30, 10:00, 10:30) and every time I picked up there was no one on the other side. I hadn't ordered a wake up call and none of my friends knew I was staying there so I can only assume the staff did it to make sure we were awake and rush us to vacate the room quickly.
I love Paris, I love my girlfriend and I can not stand Costes. Three strikes - out! I will try my best to avoid Costes and their rude bunch in the future.

I was working in London at the time and bored of all the rain, so my friends and i took the train to paris for the weekend. we called the hotel directly on the advice of a friend and had a spectacular weekend. The hotel is beautiful. The restaurant always packed with young and trendy of paris so you really didn't need to seek nightlife elsewhere. The staff was polite and spoke fluent english. The spa was excellent. And the location is just across from the park and shopping. My only complaint was that on short notice we were unable to get dinner reservations for saturday night.

I stayed at the Hotel Costes for 5 nights with my husband and teenage daughter. I didn't want to stay there partly because of the negative comments about the staff, but a friend had highly recommended it. I felt the need to write this review because I was completely surprised by how completely helpful and courteous the staff was to us. I will assume that if you are considering staying at this hotel, you realize that it has a "clubby" atmosphere. If this is not something you would enjoy, then it is not for you. My only problem with this hotel was the fact that the lighting in the rooms is severely insufficient. I understand that dim lighting sets a certain mood, but reading, picking out clothes or putting on makeup are almost impossible.
