Residence Foch - Paris

My partners and I booked this for his 50th birthday. We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were so friendly, spoke excellent English, and could not be more helpful. Recommended. The room was very french, I'd say shabby chic, comfortable, nice and bright on the top floor, wouldnt match to a deluxe room to say our local Marriott in Essex, but we were not expecting that in central Paris for this price. The location was excellent, about ten minutes walk from the Arc de Triomphe, twenty to the trocadero and about five minutes to two metro stations and one RER - so easy access to all the main Paris attractions. I'd say good value for central Paris and would definitely stay there again.

Great for families!

Hotel looks a little bit old, rooms and stairs little bit noisy, staff very pleasant, breakfast too expensive. Very difficult to park.

Very friendly and extremely pleasant hotel in a good location for getting around Paris - very easy to get to both lines 1 & 2 on the Metro. Our room with balcony was simply ideal for what we needed.

The hotel is central with a pleasant walk towards arc de triumph. The family room we booked was very spacious and very clean. It makes you feel like home. We were given a warm welcome and the language was not a problem. All the people were very nice and helpful, giving us maps and suggestions. We fully recommend this hotel and we will definately stay there again.

I was delighted with my stay at Hotel Residence Foch. Chedi and the other employees were extremely helpful in reccomending restaurants and providing directions. I will definitely stay there on my next trip to Paris and will enthusiastically reccomend them to my friends.It was also located in a wonderful neighborhood and not too far from transportation.

Location, quality of rooms and friendly helpfulness of staff was exceptional. We have visited Paris before, but would definitely use the Residence Foch in the future.

Hotel room was so tiny that we couldn't open our suitcases.

A very nice hotel in wich me and my girlfriend had stayed for a few nice days, i would really reccomend this hotel to others who wants to go to paris and be near the center but without the noise of it. the people in the hotel were really really nice and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay. Great location and extremely helpful staff. Most rooms in Paris are not large. This room was comfortable. The public area was available for reading and gathering. We were actually a party of 7 including a six-year-old. We were comfortable gathering downstairs to chat and plan our day.

Venere.... Thank you!

This is our second stay at Residence Foch. I was greeted by name when I was coming through the door and it was nice to feel remembered. Once again the service and friendliness of the staff and owner were excellent. As we had been to Paris a couple of times before, the man on reception was able to tell us different things to see and also some great out-of-the-way places to go shopping. This hotel is in a great residential location for going to restaurants and shops were Parisiennes also go.

The room is clean and the counter is very kind and sweet and I would like to thank for their kind service. However, there are few things needed to be noted: First, the refrigerator didn't work for few days ,which were not pleasant. Second, the free "WIFI" connection didn't work at all in the room due to bad connection signal,and I feel very disappointed with that although there is a public computer available for use. I thought that internet signals should be available in my own room before I visited the hotel.

Very good service. Rather ordinary breakfast offered, considering the American coffee and a quite ordinary croissant: I mean, we are in Paris! That would be the only "to be upgraded" comment!

+ Small but very quiet hotel where staff is very attentive to your comfort + Excellent breakfast - Parking very difficult - very expensive (managed to get a super-special-saving-offer otherwise would not have chosen hotel)

This is our third time in Paris and our first stay at Hotel Residence Foch. We chose this area this time as we wanted somewhere quieter but still located close to best areas of Paris. We found the area great because it was more residential than touristy, and you get to experience the real parisian lifestyle. The Hotel room was very clean and the usual size for a Paris hotel. The staff were extremely helpful giving directions to the metro, best restaurants, shopping etc. I recommend this hotel to anyone, and we will stay there again next time we visit Paris.

The staff was incredibly helpful and courteous, providing directions to landmarks and providing useful advice on how best to utilize my time in Paris. The minibar is a bit expensive, but overall my stay was absolutely wonderful, and I would recommend the Residence Foch to anyone who's planning on traveling to Paris.

Very convenient for Ryanair drop off bus. Very quiet street. Hotel owners and staff extremely welcoming and helpful in planning a tour of Paris.

Our visit was heightened especially by the person at the front desk who was helpful in many ways including recommending a terrific restaurant.

Very welcoming hotel, would stay here again. Very helpful staff and nice room in a good location.

We had a lovely time during our stay at Residence Foch. The hotel is as described and the photos do it justice. Although is is a bit away from the main attractions there are multiple choices nearby for getting around. Also very close to Porte Maillot for the Air France shuttle to Charles De Gaulle airport. The staff were very welcoming and very willing to give advice about restaurants, transport etc.

This is by far one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in Europe! Close enough to downtown Paris (Champs De Ellyse) is about 15 minute walk - but the neighborhood is upscale and very nice! The staff, room, and breakfast are excellent. I highly recommend it!

We could see the Eiffel Tower from our room as informed on arrival but only at one end of the narrow balcony if you looked around the corner. And you would not eat breakfast on this balcony (too narrow and view is limited to rooftops) as recommended on arrival. Owners need to get real about the view and balcony attached to the room we had (no.70). Other than that I thought the price of 130 euro per night should have included the continental breakfast to make it great value. Overall a satisfactory stay in a satisfactory hotel - staff all friendly and helpful.

The staff were excellent, and the hotel is in an great location. Clean and tidy. Recommend.

We felt so at home in this hotel. The location is an easy walk to the Arc de Triomphe (under 10 minutes), and about a 5 minute walk to the A Metro line, which takes you to most of the city highlights, especially the ones a family would want to see. We are a family of four, boys are 10 and 13, and the family suite was perfect ... two partially divided rooms, sharing the bath. The rooms were great, the breakfast was great, etc., but the real comment I have was the service. It was outstanding. I have never been treated so nice, and had such friendly, helpful service. I read this on reviews before I booked this hotel, and they were 100% correct. The best and friendliest service. We will absolutely stay here again our next trip to Paris.

We were very pleased with the hotel. The staff were exceedingly friendly and let us practise our French on them! Any questions we asked were anwered quickly and we were given help with our day trip planning and information about how to get around the city. We had breakfast at the hotel every day, the breakfast room was light and pleasant, the food carefully presented and our coffee carafe filled as needed. The room was small, we had expected that but it was very clean and the furnishings were attractive. The bed was comfortable. We would stay at this hotel again and recommend it to our friends. The hotel was well situated for getting to places around the city. We walked to the Eiffel Tower but the Metro was easily accessible and we used that also. There were restaurants within easy reach. I think that the Residence Foch is best suited to adult travellers, the small spaces available might make it more difficult for families with young children.

The hotel is really nice, and the people working in the reception too, we are very happy with the hotel.

We stayed at Residence Foch at the beginning of November 2008.On reading the numerous reviews we had expected to find a good place and were not dissapointed.We were 3,but thanks to a mistake of the hotel staff we got a really large room for 4.It was nicely decorated and it is VERY clean-spotless!The breakfast is a bit expensive,but if you don't feel going anywhere in the morning-it's ok. And the staff is excellent,very helpful and nice.The only frustrating thing-the building is very old and the walls are so thin!If you've got an early-bird on the upper floor(like we had)-be ready to wake up with him hearing his every step and move!

Amazing, the owners really did go out of their way to make us happy. Upgraded us to a room on the top floor with a view of the tower from balcony. Stunning

Our initial allocated Luxury Room on the sixth floor with balcony was very small but we were moved to a larger room the next day. After this the stay was excellent, the staff were so helpful and friendly and this certainly made up for a disappointing start. We would certainly stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it to others.

Stayed in Paris for 3 nights and stayed in deluxe room with small balcony on 6th floor. Room decor was a bit tired but other than that the room was very comfortable (especially the bed)and very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and made our stay special. The area was a lot better than we thought as, although the hotel was in a quiet residential area restaurants were a 5 minute walk away and the Arc du Triomphe was 10 minutes away. There were 2 metro stations close by connecting to a lot of the major sites. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Our stay at Residence Foch enhanced our visit to Paris. Everyone was helpful, understanding and kind. This was my first time staying in this part of Paris. It turned out to be a great location for our plans this trip. We had a wonderful time. I love Paris!

I loved staying at Residence Foch, it was conveniently located and the staff were wonderful. Breakfast was excellent, the room was spacious. Our overall stay was brilliant, I would recommend this hotel for anyone who would like a more personalised hotel visit.

My wife and I visited Paris for the first time on our honeymoon. With everything we saw and did, Hotel Residence Foch was the highlight of our stay. The staff was extremely friendly and incredibly helpful as we decided where to go each day. The location is great, a very safe neighborhood, close to the metro and walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. We give our highest recommendation to Hotel Residence Foch and cannot wait to return.

THREE COMPLAINTS. PAPER THIN WALLS. A BIG PROBLEM. EVEN FOR A HEAVY SLEEPER. SOME FLOORS DO NOT HAVE ELEVATORS! CRAZY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT SOME GUESTS MAY ACTUALLY HAVE TO DRAG THEIR OWN BAGS WHEN NO PORTER IS AVAILABLE. BUSES DO NOT LEAVE FOR THE AIRPORT EVERY 15 MINUTES, AS ADVERTISED 45-60 IS MORE ACCURATE (BUT THAT MAY BE A FRENCH TRANSPORT ISSUE).

A nice hotel in the centre of Paris, metro station within a few minutes, in a very quiet and safe (the German and other ambassies nearby)little street. Friendly staff, nice breakfast room, breakfast o.k..A huge park nearby. Free parking places in the street or nearby. Highly recommendable hotel!

La ubicación es muy buena y la decoración de las zonas comunes y el dormitorio parisina, bonita y cuidada, la única pega de la habitación el cuarto de baño un poco antiguo. El personal muy amable, educado y dispuesto a atender, perfecto. Sin dudarlo una estancia muy agradable.

Boutique type hotel in embassy area, 10 mins walk from Arc de Triumph, top third of Eiffel tower visible from our small balcony on top floor. 45 mins by coach to/from airport, stop 5 mins from hotel. Excellent location for exploring city.

Our room was veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrry small. Other than that, all was good.

Our room was small but cozy and very clean. The staff as extemely helpful and very friendly. The location was remarkable(there are two metro stations only a three to five minute walk away). My only complaint is that the wally were too thin. We could hear everything our neighbors talked about so I am sure they could hear everything we talked about. We had a fantastic stay and will stay again if we ever return to Paris.

Our family of four (two boys ages 8 and 11) stayed three nights in July. Excellent location and very helpful staff. Restaurant recommendations were fabulous. The hotel is in a wonderful location a short walk to the Arc de Triomphe and many surrounding attractions, and near three different metro stations. The staff were helpful in both english and french, and obviously care about the work they do. We would unhesitatingly stay there again.

Very nice hotel

We stayed in a "family suite" (quad room) in July 2008. The room was about the size of two regular European hotel rooms with one bathroom. It had one king bed (two twins pushed together actually) and two other separate beds - a cot and a day bed. It really was perfect for us - a family of 4 with kids ages 8, 11. The location is just OK - a 5 to 10 minute walk to the metro station with restaurants and grocery markets close by. The Arc de Triumph is a 10 minute walk and the Eiffel Tour 20 minutes. We had to take the metro to the Louvre and Notre Dame areas. The breakfast, although is an additional cost, was very good - your typical European breakfast with breads, pastries, yogurt, cereal, meat, cheese, dried fruit, and boiled eggs. The service at this hotel is perhaps the best service I have received in any hotel including many 5 star hotels I have stayed at. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and I can't say enough good things about every single employee I encountered. In summary, there might be places to stay that are a bit closer to the main attractions, but the price (139 Euros for a family of 4 in high season) and more important, the staff, make this hotel highly recommended by our family!

STAFF ARE WELCOMING, HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. ROOMS DO VARY IN SIZE BUT ARE WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT IN PARIS AND ALL ARE ADEQUATE. LIFT ONLY GOES 5 FLOORS SO ASK TO BE BELOW THAT IF YOU HAVE HEAVY BAGS. HOTEL IS WELL LOCATED AND IN EASY REACH OF GOOD RESTAURANTS (ASK ABOUT FERDINANDS) AND SHOPS/TOURIST PLACES GOOD BREAKFAST. WE HAD TWO ROOMS AND ENJOYED OUR STAY.

My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Foch, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. We would recommend the breakfast although we had read reviews saying it was not value for money. The only thing that we were not pleased with, was the size of the 'double bed' in my opinion it was only for one person. If I returned I would like a bigger bed, or two singles.

Great little hotel, we stayed for 4 days in may and had the best time. staff is extremely friendly - would recomend this for a perfect base from where to "walk" Paris. eat oysters at the Alsacian up on champs elleyse, mussels at the wee one round the corner... loads of good restaurants nearby :)

This hotel is an absolute gem. Although the bedrooms are not large they are adequate, and well furnished.The coffee/tea making facilities in the room were and added bonus. The housekeeping is excellent. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and the service was good. One of the outstanding features of this hotel is the staff.Everyone was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. The hotel is located in a good class residential area,surrounded by embassasies.There are also good restaurants and specialist food shops nearby. This hotel will certainly be my first choice for future visits to Paris.

Wonderful area, 16me arr. quiet, very firendly service

Excellent place to stay - however not as central as we thought - very quiet location and incredibly attentive, thoughtful staff who really wanted to help make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We had the breakfast each day which with the euro rate as it is at the moment proved to be very good value.

It was a great Hotel to start off our first ever stay in Paris. Very quiet, up-market location , but only a 5 minute walk to busy street with restaurants etc.Breakfast is well worth it as more expensive outside.We stayed in the family room with two children(9&12).Very friendly and helpful, family run, hotel.Would definitely return.

I stayed 6 night at the residence foch;beside a little problem with the cleaning person who wanted us out of the room before we where ready everything was perfect;everyone was very attentif and helpful from giving us direction to advise us on where to eat and very patient; I will definitely return; the location is the best;

Fantastic hotel for Paris, this is our second trip to Paris and we were very impressed with Residence Foch,location was great, nice quiet street, several restuarants to chose from, and the metro was only a 5-10 minute walk. We would stay there again, if we can get a booking its a popular hotel.

We have just returned from a wonderful 4 night stay at the Residence Foch, and can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are all lovely and friendly, the room was clean and well decorated, and the breakfast's delicious. We were travelling as a family of 4 with a 5 year old and an 8 month old, and had struggled to find a suitable child friendly hotel with family rooms. The Residence Foch was perfect - we booked a family room (no 40) and it had a separate area with single bed for the eldest which was separated from the main room by curtains at night, while there was enough room for a cot next to the Queen sized bed. We are always stressed out by the prospect of breakfast in a communal breakfast room, as we are conscious of disturbing other guests if the children are noisy, so it was great that the hotel offer breakfast in your room for no extra charge. Whilst the choice is less than that available downstairs (no cheese, fruit or meat) we were more than happy with the delicious selection of pastries and bread we had each day. The bathroom was a little dated and could do with sprucing up, but it was always spotlessly clean which is the main thing. The hotel is in a quiet residential area so there was no problem with noise at night, and it is about 5 minutes walk to the nearest metro. Only 2 mins away there is a good general store, and a patisserie, and we ate at "Del Papa's" italian which the hotel recommended to us - very child friendly, quick service and great pasta. All in all we were absolutely delighted with the hotel, and pleased that we had found so many positive reviews for it which gave us confidence in booking it. Highly recommended!

Charming Hotel with good connections to the Metro located in the quiet and wealthily surrounding of the 16th arrondissement

Great Staff. The hotel owner, Nelly is a doll. Everyone is glad to help with directions, sights, restaurants and your every need. The rooms are basic and some of the washrooms need updating but I understand she is doing a few at a time. I would recommend this hotel because the staff were outstanding. It's all about service.

Lovelly little hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Good value for money. It's about a 10 minute walk from the metro station.

I would stay there again. Close to the metro and near restaurants. Walking distance to Champs Elysees. Breakfast not included in room price - not worth 15 euros.

Stayed in Paris for 3 nights and all the staffs I came across are wonderful. So glad for the hospitality and guidance they've given to me on my first trip to Paris. Traveling alone for the first time is not easy, but, they mapped out my itinerary and metro/train rides to my destinations. Happy to use the free internet access. Location is in nearby residential area and walking distance to the metro/train stations, and Champs de Elysees. Various clientele - business, young/mature couples, & family.

We stayed in a family room with our two children. The room was perfect for putting the children to bed but still having somewhere to sit ourselves. The facilities were excellent, the hotel felt clean and cared for and all the staff were absolutely charming. Not cheap, but well worth the money.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was beautifully decorated, if tiny. We didn't eat breakfast, but walked a few blocks to a super patisserie. Hotel is just a couple of blocks to two metro stations and the Air France CDG airport shuttle. Will definitely stay again!

The Hotel is excellent value for money in a very safe and upmarket area. Breakfast was fresh and varied and would suit all tastes. Staff were friendly and efficient, their English much better than my French. We will most certainly be back and would recommend the hotel to our friends.

The staff were tremendous, very welcoming and friendly. My husband, brother and sister in law were over for the France Scotland football match on 12th Sept. A special mention to the night staff. We were out late both nights and were made very welcome when we arrived back. We were given information regarding the metro and maps to get us around. We were even told if we wanted to book meals to let them know and they would arrange for us. The breakfast, which we only had one morning, was ample. Again, we were greeted by friendly staff. Really was impressed. The location was excellent. 5 mins walk in either direction from the front door to metro stations. We walked one day to the Eiffel Tower, which took us about 25 mins. There was the metro station, but the walk was so nice, we preferred the fresh air. The only negative was our room was next to the supplies cupboard and in the morning we didn't get a peaceful long lie due to the cleaners opening and closing the cupboard doors. That was the only down side. On the whole would definately recommend this hotel. If I am ever in Paris again, would not hesitate to book Residence Hotel Foch!

Our first visit to Paris....loved it. The manager of our hotel was excellent.Super friendly and we appreciated that she was able to speak English with us. We would definitely re-book upon our return.

Paris hotels are notorious for been small, cramped and the staff unwelcoming. We cannot praise the staff and the welcome highly enough. The breakfast room is light and airy, and the quality of the buffet was very good.

This hotel is full of character, located in a very quiet, old street in the best part of Paris close to Arc de Triomphe and Metro. Owner Nellie and staff are charming and really helpful. Breakfast was just how we like it. Only two drawbacks - the rooms are really small, no good if you have a lot of luggage; and the computer has a French keyboard (same all over France) so if you are used to QWERTY you will have problems.

Hotel staff and management were fantastic. The Top floor room 71 was perfect, i would highly recommend that room.

Lovely little hotel, very close to 3 train stations so very easy to get around... also able to walk to the Eifell Tower if we wished.. The hotel owners are lovely and very helpful

We enjoyed our stay at the Residence Foch very much. We were 2 adults and our 2 daughters and the accommodations were roomy and comfortable for 4. We had a suite, with a clean and roomy bathroom. It is in a very quiet neighborbood and the subway is a couple of blocks away. It would be nice if breakfast was included in the price. We would stay here again.

We could not have been more pleased and impressed with the competence and helpfulness of the entire staff. We definitely will stay at Residence Foch on future trips to Paris.

This was our first time in Paris. It was pleasing to see that everything that was shown on Venere was accurate in regard to the hotel. The staff there were absolutely excellent and extremely pleasant with a very good understanding of English. They went out of their way to be of assistance to us. Would highly recommend the hotel.

Good location. Close to two metro stations, arc de triumph and champ d'elysee. Breakfast not generally included, although this was thrown in for us. Rooms a little cramped and stuffy - but we did stay in the middle of winter. Staff spoke English and were very helpful

Staff was extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Location was great, near a metro stop and Arc de Triumph. Hotel was very clean, well taken care of and looked much more expensive than what we expected for the price. We will definitely stay here at Residence Foch on our next stay in Paris. Residence Foch exceeded our expectations.

We booked this hotel because it was reasonably priced and was rated No 9 in the whole of Paris on a well-known internet site. Perhaps because our hopes had been raised we were rather disappointed. There is nothing wrong with Residence Foch, but it isnt very exciting - it really is just a 3 star hotel. However, the rooms are very quiet. We had a look around and saw some of the suites: I didnt think they looked good value for money.

The staff are uniformly and genuinely courteous. They all possess a good command of English that we greatly appreciated. The room was a little small but quite satisfactory; there are larger rooms. This was the only hotel we stayed in during our vacation that had individual room temperature control! The location is excellent - a quiet street within a few minutes' walk of a Metro station and good restaurants. The best in-town hotel experience of our entire vacation. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it highly.

Was very pleasantly surprised with Res. Foch. Fantastic welcome from staff; great rate for a large room (room 10), although it was paris in august! nice quiet area and yet plenty of restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Within easy reach of La Defense for business travellers.

Only stayed one night but the experience was exellent. The morning we were leaving we had a slight problem as our flights home were not until late evening, and we had lots of luggage. We didn't fancy carrying it around Paris for hours, however there was no need to worry, as before I had a chance to ask, the Staff kindly offered to keep them for us. I don't know if the Staff were very well trained or just nice people, or perhaps both. Highly Recommended!

This hotel is really lovely and SUCH good value for money. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We found it to be in a good location, the nearest Metro station (Porte Maillot) being only a five minute walk away. The breakfast is delicious too. I'm struggling to think of anything that was not perfect about it! Highly recommended for a romantic weekend in Paris. We'd definitely stay there again.

For a excellently situated hotel in the centre of Paris, the Residence Foch was superb, both for price and quality. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. An ideal hotel for the Paris marathon weekend - we'll be back next year!
