Hotel Riviera Elysees

I honestly regret booking at this hotel. To begin with they make you pay a 100 euro deposit which I struggled to get back. First receptionist told me I would get it back right after my check out. once I checked out, they said I should wait one more day, then 2 to 3 days, a couple of days later (I wasn’t in France anymore) they told me I should wait 14 days, then 30 days. It took more than a month to solve that. This was something new for me , I had never had to pay for a deposit at a hotel. Moreover It’s a tiny place whose elevator is broken and can barely fit one person with one suitcase and I’m a 52 kg person so you can imagine how tiny that elevator is. There also no space to store your luggage… they keep it at the tiny reception by the hotel entrance the whole time. I would not recommend this hotel at all.

Very nice staff and excellent location

Good place to stay at a good price. Quite central and property was good.

The property was just a 6 min easy walk from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees so the location is extremely convenient. There is a cafe downstairs and many others in the following blocks. The area is safe and quiet. The room was clean and spacious. However, staff did not crack a smile at any point. They looked like they didn't want to be at work and were only going through the motions. Didn't feel welcomed nor were we asked if we had any questions or needed any info. There was a note on the elevator stating no eating was permitted in rooms or there would be a fine. I don't know what that meant... if not even a snack, but didn't want to test it. However, I found it to be very inconvenient especially traveling with children. Also, the elevator stops at inbetween floors meaning that after you leave you must still go up or down approx 5 stairs with luggage. It's a tiny elevator where only you and 2 suitcases fit at once. I was able to overlook the inconveniences and staff, though, given the good location and cleanliness.

My stay was absolutely wonderful! The staff was very friendly, the location was excellent. A short walk to the Arc de Triumph. Close to restaurants and shopping. Room was very clean and spacious enough for the trhee of us. I would definitely stay there again.

Apart from no kettle to make tea or coffee, all good for the price.
