"Great location!" This hotel had a great location! It was about half a block from the metro and short ride to all of Paris's main attractions. Our hotel room had a view of the upper half of the Eiffel Tower which we didn't even ask for. We would have had a better view had we asked for it. One of my favorite features were the cafes, markets, and shops are right down the street. This is a non-touristy part of Paris which you appreciate more and more after braving the huge crowds day in and day out. Try saving your 14 Euros for breakfast, go to the nearest markets which is only a block a way - in both directions - and buy your breakfast there as well as meals for the rest of the day. Both markets - Ted and Shop! - have packaged sandwiches in a variety of flavors that you can store in your backpack to eat throughout the day. You'll save LOTS of money doing this. Do keep your eye on the bill because they charged me for breakfast every day even though I didn't even eat there but they told me this is standard practice and that you must inform them that afterwards that you didn't eat. I thought this is was a rather strange way of doing things but hey, you're in a foreign country. The front desk personnel were very pleasant which was a welcome change from the attitude, arrogance, and bitterness that you may encounter in Paris's establishments. The rooms were clean and well kept. The air conditioning could use a little re-tooling because I found myself sweating in the middle of some nights. I would have also preferred a Do Not Disturb sign because the cleaning personnel are not very mindful nor do they care that you're still in your room when its time to clean the room. Overall, I would stay again in this hotel. I would recommend it for its location, helpful front desk personnel, and clean rooms.

"Great choice" Our family just came back after spending a week in Paris ( March 09 to 17th). The Novotel Vaugirad is an excellent choice if you want to stay away from the tourist activities, yet be close enough to get to it. Our goal was to enjoy the Parisien experience from a local perspective and we found a great location in this hotel for that. Here are the reaons: Location: A block away from the subway station with easy access to all major attractions within 15 - 20 minutes from the hotel. There are several good restaurants in the area and supermarkets and cafes within walking distance. Perfect if you want to experience the local life style. Hotel: Like most european hotels, the rooms were smaller than North American standards, but we ( two adults and a teenager) were very comfortable. Our room was modern, clean, comfortable beds and with all the required amenities. Staff: One of tyhe highlights of this hotel is the great staff they have. They were friendly and very professional. We did have a problem with a group of students being very noise near our room and complained to the manager . We were moved to a quiter area of the hotel and received a very nice letter explaining how they were dealing with the situation. Breakfast: Our rate did not include breakfast ( 14.30 Euros per person) which is on the high side, however, our children travelling with adults do not pay, so our average ( our daughter did not have to pay for her breakfast) was similar to what you would pay outside and the breakfast buffet was very good. Overall, if you are comfortable using the subway system and want to stay away from the busier areas of Paris, this hotel is a solid choice. We would go back without any reservation.

"Excellent" We stayed for 3 days in this hotel and we were very happy to say the least. The hotel is situated in a great location and safe neigborhood (police station in front of hotel) to train station and for easy walking to many of Pairs attractions. The staff were friendly as well. I would stay here again.
