Sofitel Paris La Defense - La Defense

I stayed here for one night with my boyfriend after a week of hostels around France. They treated us very well, and the room was nicer than I thought it would be. We stayed in a "luxury" room which was definitely worth the extra money. The concierge was very friendly and everyone spoke english well. It's in a bit of a business district, but there is a shopping mall nearby and its only about 10 extra minutes on the metro. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for romance or luxury in Paris. The only complaint was that the shower door didn't seal so the shower got water everywhere. Also, the paint on the ceiling above the shower was peeling.

This is a beautiful hotel well situated on one of the main metro lines. you can see the arc de trumph when you walk out the front door. But it was strange the lack of other customers. We found out when we ordered 2 beers at the bar (1 large 1 small) why no one was using the bar or restaurant. 18 euro for 2 beers. Total rip off

It seemed to me that the bigger/better hotels in Paris (value-for-money-wise) were out in La Defense so since Sofitel was right beside the yellow (1) metro line it looked like the best choice - and boy was it. A welcome at reception like we were VIPs, a room that was complete luxury (oh, that shower!...and a bed that I could live in for the rest of my life!) and so, so fast to get into the centre of things. The view from right outside the hotel was of both the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower...and spin 'round and you were a short stroll from the modern but equally impressive La Grande Arche. It's the business district so on Friday evening and on Sat/Sun it was really quiet in La Defense - a great place to come back to after a busy crowded day in the city centre shopping/sightseeing etc. The hotel's restaurant was okay but we're not great fans of hotel restaurants so we were never going to be bowled over by their offering - which was limited and a bit plain. Their wine was horrifically expensive for France and a bottle of water for your table sir? 10 euro. Gulp. With sterling exchange at that time that was pretty much 10 quid on the nose for a bottle of still water. So....buyer beware and all that...but outside of the restaurant I can safely say that we were so impressed by this hotel that it's where we're going to stay every time we're in Paris from now on. Excellent.

Excellent. Very enjoyable stay in a fab place. All Staff very helpful and polite. I will be back!!

We stayed at the Sofitel Paris La Defence Centre from 12/27 - 12/30. We had a very disappointing experience. Beginning on the second day of our three day stay, the hotel water became too highly chlorinated and abrasive to drink or shower with. When we complained to the management, along with numerous other guests, they recognised the problem and promised to take it up with the building engineer. 48 hours later, upon our departure, the problem remained unresolved. We were unable to shower, brush our teeth or drink water in our rooms for 2/3 of our stay. The management did not offer to relocate us, supply us with adequate water or compensate us for the problem.

Hotel was excellent. Bar staff a little slow but otherwise great stay. La Defense was only a short Metro ride to anywhere in the city. Front desk staff very quick to help. Use the metro to tour the city, get Euros before you leave, this helps alot when you arrive.

This hotel is in a business district. The metro station is close, though, and you can get into the city... takes 15-20+ minutes, depending on the sights you want to see. Food at the hotel is just okay and VERY expensive. Water with our dinner was 10 Euros (about $14) for example. WiFi is only available on the first few floors -- something I asked about but they didn't tell me about until I was settled in my room. Also, they sell WiFi cards (scratch-off numbers) and they're vaoild only 6pm-6am or thereabouts. (There was a desk in the room with hi-speed internet, though.) The rooms were very comfortable, especially the beds. The lower floors, by the way (the ones with WiFi) have showers only. My room (on the 7th floor, of 8) had a great, huge tub. Overall it was nice, but I would book elsewhere if I wanted to see the sights. All Sofitels are very nice hotels.

Excellent high quality hotel. Great beds and linens- a real comfort to plop down on after a long day. Friendly staff that spoke english all the way from the valet to front desk. Great location out of the beaten tourist path, yet with a metro stop right next to the hotel that makes it very easy to get around to all the sights. It appears to be primarily a busines hotel for the La Defense corporate centre area, and the weekend rate we got from Hotels.com for our stay was a tremendous bargain for this high quality hotel. I fully recommend it.

Do not use the phone even if you have a phone card because they charge you per minute for the "connection fee", per the hotel manager. There is nothing in writing or verbal which tells you of this fee so you must pay it. If you need assistance from anyone other than the front desk and you don't speak french,ie) room service, you will not get it.

the bed was great, shower was very nice. And the staff at the hotel really went above and beyond to help out with our stay.

We chose to stay at this hotel because we wanted to stay in a safe and quiet corner of Paris. However we also wanted easy access from Orly airport to the hotel and easy access tfrom the hotel to dowtown Paris. Of course high rating from previous guest were also taken in our consideration. A very pleasant staff, helpful and polite. Possible to let the hotel take care of your luggage on your depature date (we had a rather late departure back to Oslo), helpful ordering taxi. No charge for this service. Saturdays and sundays are dull in this area, no people around and no coffee shop or restaurants open. Go downtown to have you breakfast as the hotel's breakfast buffèt is far to expensive (€ 27,- per person per day !!!!) During week days you can visit Starbucks or Pomme Pain (croissants, muffins, sandiwches, small not too heavy dishes) for a fairly priced start of your day.

Personnel efficace et disponible. Prestations haut de gamme. Chambres ultra-confortables. Enormément de petites attentions pour le client. Bref un hôtel 4 étoiles qui les mérite vraiment.

Hotel ou rien ne vous surprendra dans le mauvais sens du terme. L'accueil est simple et efficace......et le service voiturier des plus agréable et performant. Le personnel est à l'écoute et apporte toujours une réponse ou une solution précise . La chambre standard était "top " malgré l'absence d'écran plat dans ce type d'établissement. Avec les "Champs " à 4kms on était aux anges et on oubliait ce quartier de La Défense qui est , lui , pas top.
