Elysees Ceramic Hotel

Average: $300 per night

I rate it: 4/5

First off, being in Paris where everything is pretty expensive, you will find that seeking accommodation may be quite tough.


For the price, I think it is quite reasonable. We had great trouble finding the hotel although it is actually quite near the train station, so you have to know which exit to take.

It is just a stone's throw away to major attraction, Arc de Triomphe, so it is very accessible to other locations.

The lounge area is rather comfortable and a Macbook is available for your browsing (not free though).

A few streets down from behind the hotel is Champs-Élysées, arguably the most 'happening' area of Paris, in terms of shopping and to be seen.

I would not really agree that shopping there is fantastic, because I had more fun at rue Cambon, but there are some major retailers and a huge Sephora store.

There are many cafes around the area as well, so you can kickstart your day well with a lovely breakfast nearby.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

There is also a small little patio outside which is quite nice to hang out.

But I did not like that the internet was quite pricey, and breakfast menu was very limited. We actually paid almost $30 for scrambled eggs in 2 days... Expensive.

So I would probably give this hotel a miss if I visit Paris again. But if budget is your concern, you can give this hotel a try.
