Rough Guide "This cool boutique hotel, run by young staff and located on a fairly peaceful road, is a lesson in restrained modern design."
Frommer's "The hotel's upbeat interior revolves around prominent rectilinear lines, spartan-looking decors, and an intelligent distribution of spaces." Full review
Fodor's "Friendly service, a small fitness center, and full-service bar are nice touches, while close proximity to métro stations is another convenience appreciated by guests." Full review
Lonely Planet "The décor at ‘The General’ is fresh and fun, and the 47 rooms are beautifully furnished." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This high-design boutique hotel is surprisingly well priced considering its convenient location on a quiet side street close to the Place de la République." Full review
Time Out "A fashionable find near the nightlife action of the 11th, Le Général was one of Paris’s first boutique bargains when it opened back in 2003. It is still notable for its remarkably moderate." Full review

Star Service "This stylish Spanish offshoot is one of Derby Hotel's more dramatic offerings, and its Castilian sensibility is a sensation amongst savvy business and leisure travelers." Full review
Gayot "For luxury you can count on, the stately Banke Hotel is worth the investment."
