Good bits: The room was very clean. The air conditioning was really good. Quiet but very effective. Our room was very quiet, it faced into the inner courtyard and not onto the busy road. Very handy for shopping, just around the corner from Galaries Lafayette. Very handy for the tube, being between Saint Lazare and Liege. We found a fully functioning umbrella under the bed, left by a previous occupant. That'll do for my mother's Christmas present. The bathroom was a decent size with bath and an over-bath shower. Average bits: Shower was a bit weedy. The room was tiny, barely room for the bed and the double doors opening into the courtyard couldn't be opened properly because the bed was in the way. The location was good for shops but it always seemed to involve at least two metro trains to get to any of the tourist sights. At least the Paris metro is very good so this was just a slight irritation. Bad bits: TV remote didn't work. The light in the corridor outside the room wasn't working so it was a bit difficult to see enough to put the key in the door. The beds were too small, I'm 6' 1" and my feet were off the end. Large stain splashed up the wall that I initially thought was the result of a massacre but on reflection was probably red wine. The hotel is directly over a metro line. You can hear the sound of the underground train and it feels like distant thunder. Even on the third floor where we were. Like all Paris hotels, tea and coffee making facilities are not provided so take your own. There isn't a secure baggage room. We had to leave our bags by the reception desk while waiting for our room to be ready. There was no receipt system so anybody could take anybody elses bags. Other info: We didn't try the breakfast which is 10 euros per person (Sept 2007). Just down the road a few doors away from the hotel is a lovely coffee shop called midore. Four pastries and two coffees came to just over 9 euros. The pastries were fantastic, on a par with the best I've ever had in France. This wasn't open on Sunday though.

Hotel is centrally situated close to the shopping area in Madeleine, which is home to Galerie Lafayette (department store); additionally the train station is on your doorstep (Gare Saint Lazare) for links to the Parisian public transport system. Reception is small but efficient. I took the tiny lift to my room, which even by Parisian standards, was exceptionally small and would have been cramped had it of been a double occupancy (was a double room). Furniture is dated from the 1980’s with matching floral curtains, bed spreads, upholstery etc. with the in-built wardrobe small and clearly having had a busy life (see candid pictures, by others). Not withstanding this, it was clean; albeit a little ‘lived in’. Room had: TV, safe, mini-bar, phone and individually controlled a/c (at least mine had the latter, but others apparently don’t if you read other reviews). The bathroom was equally as compact with the ‘sliding’ shower cubicle door more bouncing along due to it’s age and use. Taps had their stainless steel finish worn through to expose the brass beneath on the regular contact points. Basic toiletries and clean towels (but again well worn, so they had no napp). Despite the above sounding a little negative, everything actually worked more than adequately and it was clean. Breakfast was served in the well appointed vaulted basement and offered a reasonable variety of both hot and cold buffet food; with the usual: pastries, cereals, cooked meats, yogurts and cereals. In summary, a small basic hotel, that was ideally located and did the job; but for 100 euros per night (breakfast extra) it was just about ‘value for money’ (by Paris standards).

stayed here for 4 nights. room was very clean but a bit small and would recommend taking some coathangers as there is only a single wardrobe so it is a squeeze when there are 2 of you in a double room.t here is another single wardrobe with shelves.minibar prices about normal - 3euros for a bottle of water.room was cleaned every day and also towels changed.the Place de Clichy is just at the top of the road and there are lots of bars/restaurants.we went to the Bistro Melrose twice - profiteroles are to die for!! we also went to le petit poucet every morning for breakfast. it only costs 4 euros for a taxi down to the champs elysees or there is a metro station at place de clichy. the staff at reception are really nice and very helpful. would probably not go back as it is a bit expensive for what you actually get but all the hotels in Paris we have stayed at have been a bit of a disappointment as far as value for money goes - this is our 5th time..saw inside a twin room at this hotel and it was very cramped so would not advise bookong a twin.so if you are looking for a clean,reasonably located hotel and don't mind overpaying then this hotel is for you.

We are a family of 5 and stayed in two separate rooms for five nights at the Hotel La Fleche d'Or in late April 2007. We got a great deal through booking.com. The rooms were small, which is to be expected in Europe, but were clean and decently furnished. The bathrooms were surprisingly large, relative to the room, and nicely decorated, with marble countertops and floors. The shower was great and the bathtub actually had a shower curtain! The main problem we encountered with the hotel is the lack of air conditioning. I'm not sure if the central AC was not turned on, or broken, but it was definitely warm and stuffy in the hotel rooms. When we told the front desk that the vent in our room was not working, they offered us another room, but that room turned out to be smaller and not worth the move as we had already unpacked. Another thing that we noticed that was common to both rooms, was that there were no dressers and only one small closet, which might not be conducive for longer stays. The location of the hotel was fairly central. It is within walking distance to the department stores (approximately 10 minutes), Champs Elysees (approximately 25 minutes). Gare St. Lazare, which is approximately 3 minutes away, is one of the main transfer points for the metro and RER lines. There's a nice patisserie just down the street (Midore), which provides a good alternative to the hotel's breakfast (which we did not try). All in all, the hotel was a nice complement to our Paris trip.

El Hotel esta muy bien situado a 5 minutos de galerias Lafayette y de opera. El desayuno es bastante completo ademas se habla español en recepción. El unico inconveniente que tiene es que las habitaciones son muy pequeñas.
