Citadines Trocadéro Paris — Hotel in Paris

Wrapped up a 3 night stay. Sept 2-5, 2022.

Location: this was a great location for me. It’s a 5 minute walk to the Trocodero and wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower. I did not use the metro so I can’t speak to that. Lots of restaurants close by. Lots. There is a small market less than 100 yards away. Cold beer and champagne there. Fresh fruit. Snacks. Candy. Very convenient. There is a Franprix about 1/4 mile down the road if you need a larger selection. The entrance is on a small side street. Note: left in a taxi at 7am. Got stuck behind the garbage pickup for about 10 minutes due to the direction we left in and the width of the street.

Check in: Typical Paris requirements. Hand over your passport. Pay the city tax. Fill out a contact form. We arrived at noon and were told our room would not be ready until 3pm. Kinda sucks when you have been up for 30 hours but it happens. One thing I wish more hotels would do is offer early Check-In for a small fee. Hilton properties (some of them) will let you check in early for €40. I would gladly pay that. So. Who knows. Was offered a choice of how many room keys. The front desk will hold your bags for you with a paper tag to track ownership. We were told they only offer maid service after six days. Since we had a 3 day no cleaning. But. They offered a closet on the floor that allowed you to drop used linens and towels and pick up clean ones as well. This closet also had garbage bags, and toilet items. Toilet paper, soap, etc.

The Room: Small elevator next to check in. Easily fits two people and luggage. Maybe you could squeeze a third…..maybe. Elevator is a tad slow but works fine. We had room 501. Opened the door and felt the wonderful experience of running air conditioning. Noticed a immediate reduction in humidity. They had left the a/c running on high. Now this being said. It’s France. Their idea of A\C and the USA idea is worlds apart. My guess is the room cooled to about 72F. It was comfortable. Would I have liked it cooler? Yes. Of course I would. I always take a travel electric fan. The combo of the A/C and the fan made for a pleasant time. Our room had a huge outdoor balcony. It also had a table and 4 chairs. The view was of a courtyard and residential housing. Not too bad. We noticed the rooms below on our side (2,3,4) did not have balconies but floor 1 did. We had selected a 1 bedroom option. Once inside the room there was a small round table and two chairs. To the left was the toilet. Sink and mirror. Tub and shower. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Two Bath towels and two hand towels. Hair dryer. The shower had a removal flex wand. Good water pressure. Super hot water if you wanted it. The kitchen had a microwave, a sink, dual electric hot flattop. There was a dishwasher and a mini fridge. The mini fridge did not work. I pulled it out. It was unplugged. I plugged it in and it fired up. It worked great after that. There were dishes, glasses, silverware for 2. Note. No coffee maker. But. You are in Paris. You should not visit Paris to drink coffee in your hotel room. There was a small garbage can with extra trash bags under the sink. A sponge. Some dish towels and dishwashing detergent. The bedroom was nice. The bed was one of those two twin mattresses with a insert to make it a full. A oversized flat sheet not a fitted sheet. Then a duvet covered blanket. Four pillows. There was a small night stand for each side of the bed. There were night lights and power for each side of the bed as well. There is a small closet with a ironing board, safe, hangers, and storage.

Bottom line. I will stay here again. I enjoyed my stay and had minimal issues.

Oh the neighborhood is a safe area for families.

UBER decided to not work …….however the front desk quickly jumped into action and we had a taxi within 10 minutes. It’s a €60 flat fare from the...

This well-known hotel chain property is nestled in a quiet street only minutes walk to the Trocadero, and only another 10min walk to the Eiffel Tower. As has been mentioned by others, there are plenty of shops, restaurants and a small grocery store all nearby. ||Stayed a Studio Room, which featured all the usual fittings and features plus a small kitchenette, with a microwave, stove, sink and range of cutlery. The double bed consisted of 2 singles pushed together, and was comfortable enough. The bathroom was on the small size with a shower over the bath plus the usual wash basin and toilet. A nice addition was the wall mounted towel warmer, which doubled as a clothes dryer for things like sox, jocks and tshirts. Average size TV featured a large range of local channels plus English news channels, but for a SmartTV was surprised not to see Netflix or Chromecast available. I was also informed at check-in rooms are not serviced daily, so if you need towels, etc replaced you need to ask for them. ||As for the rest of the property, the main foyer has a small sitting area. Behind reception is the breakfast area, which is small but well designed. There’s also a seperate lounge sitting area and a small outside courtyard with a few tables and chairs.||Didn’t try the breakfast, and as there is no room service or meal services at any other time of the day, expect to eat most meals elsewhere. Didn’t even see a refreshments coin op machine which would be convenient for late night drinks and snacks. ||As already mentioned, the lift is tiny, so it can take a while getting to and from your room. ||Overall, and compared to the nightly rate of other hotels, the Citadines was good value even without some of the features of bigger...

This review primarily is meant for clients from North America. My wife and Istayed for a week in room 514 which was a very comfortable 2 room accommodation with a nice sized balcony and complete kitchen. The two rooms consisted of a bedroom and separate sitting room of equal size. While the accommodations are very well equipped, clean and comfortable—- by Paris standards large—-this is a minimalist designed hotel with little character or charm. However, the staff is excellent, cheerful and helpful. Justine, who checked us in was particularly helpful as was the assistant manager ( name not know) who was helpful in showing us how to adjust the heat. The hotel is well located nearby three metro stops and many eating establishments. If you want to avoid touristy places, you are better off going toward Place Victor Hugo than the Trocadero. On Wednesday and Saturday morning there is an upscale food and clothing market nearby on Avenue Woodrow Wilson. The 16th arrondissement is a relatively safe area of Paris and considered to be a very upscale neighborhood. Paris hotels are not inexpensive, but at $ 275.00 a night, we thought it was fair value. One can save by joining their club and also booking a non-cancelable reservation. We have visited Paris often and we would not hesitate to return to the...
