We were 8 office collueges visiting Paris for a weekend, ending up at Melia Vendomeas a result of a search on the internet were location, availability and price were essentials. It is realy a nice hotel with a friendly staff, although everything was not quite in order in the rooms as the remote TV control did not work and the bath tub was lacking a water stopper. The rooms and common areas were nicely furnitured and clean. The neighbourghood of the hotel is very nice, with good looking, clean streets and buildings and if you are visiting Paris for shopping as the fashion street of Rue Saint Honore is very close and the Place Madeleine and the Lafayett gallery is within easy walking distance. However if you are looking for nice restaurants and cafes you have to walk quite a bit and getting to le Louvre, Ile de la Cite and the latin quarter is also quite a waling distance. A nice adress on the right bank, but do bring good shoes as you will need them.
