We were 2 families totaling 8 people - and we booked a total of 4 rooms otherwise called "family rooms". Each family had two rooms. The odditiy was that the "kids" room had and entry vestibule with suitcase area, two single beds, a large bathroom, a separate sitting room with sofa and a balcony overlooking the arch d' triumph. The parents' room was a shoe box with a small bathrooom and the view of a brick wall. A view of the sky was poossible by opening window and craning neck way out. Had they placed the queen bed in the kids' "suite" and the twins in the 'adult' room it would have made much more sense. All else was great. If you need a large taxi make sure they truly understand what large is --- they kept ordering taxis that did not even fit 4 people!

We recently stayed for two nights at the Splendid. Rooms were great. Spacious by European standards, clean and well appointed. We had a long trip and the room was ready early. Staff were great on check in and it was refreshing to relax and get ready for what Paris offers. Hotel is in a great location close to Arc de Triumphe and metro. Easy walks for shopping, dinner, and just sight seeing.
Faroq at the concierge was fantastic on everything for tips, dinner, and everything else. We had problems getting in with the bus strike, but Faroq arranged a private taxi to take us back. Everything went perfect.
Some folks complain the breakfast is pricey but consider that convenience, wide assortments, and time begins to seem a bargain when you are limited for time in Paris!

Great service and patient assistance.
Able to speak, French, English and Arabic with us, which was a relief for my wife.

Help us with advice for our daily trips around Paris.

THat's what this hotel is all about!
Had a wonderful 3 night stay here but the actual hotel I wouldn't rate as highly as lots seem to on here! It was perfect for what we wanted and especially in Paris the size of room was good but just not as amazing as everyone on here raves about!
Had a great offer from Travelzoo and for the money can't fault it. We had one of the best rooms with the view if the Arch de triomphe and i would defo ask for that when you book. Also book with a deal - don't pay full price or you will be disappointed!
Breakfast was a bit, well, wierd is the only word for it, v odd atmosphere! Some fresh fruit etc and a fry up that had been stagnating for many hours - the lady in charge of breakfast was not very friendly and the room where it was was so empty and you had to ask for extra food to be put out (we weren't that late going down!) If i was going back to Paris and this hotel had an offer on i would go back - i just don't think it deserves to be number 29 in the list!!
