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
BlackBook "This hip little hotel off the Place de la République draws a boozy crowd by offering two pricing structures - one for just the room, and another all inclusive rate that includes your bar tab."
The Telegraph7.0
"Sleek pared-back rooms and a herd of photos and vintage finds are intended to feel like home at this laid-back hotel." Full review

Rough Guide "Palatial opulence in the style of Louis XVI, with unsurpassed vistas over Paris and superlative en suites."
Frommer's "This landmark lies between the place de la Concorde and the Grand Louvre, facing the Tuileries Gardens." Full review
Concierge "Le Meurice still has a vaguely decadent and artistic tone that sets it apart from other high-priced Parisian gilt trips."
Fodor's "Since 1835, the Meurice has welcomed royalty and celebrities... and Paris' first palace hotel continues to please with service, style, and views." Full review
Insight Guides "Elegant, 18th-century-style salons and a Michelin-starred restaurant are among the many assets of this historic grand hôtel."
DK Eyewitness "The Meurice is a perfect example of successful restoration, with excellent replicas of the original plasterwork and furnishings."
Time Out "With its extravagant Louis XVI decor, mosaic tiled floors and modish restyling by Philippe Starck, Le Meurice is looking grander than ever." Full review
Star Service "Reviled by some, beloved by others, this lavish wedding-cake-of-a-place is colored up with an ungodly amount of icing, its extravagant baroque sensibility teasing the best duds out of your luggage. " Full review
Gayot "Part of the prestigious Dorchester group, Le Meurice is one of Europe's most highly regarded hotels."
BlackBook "Reminiscent of a palace, offers spacious suites in the style of Louis XVI. Pricey amenities are worth every penny."
