We stayed at Hotel Splenfid Etoile in the heart of Paris from 5th August 2022 to 9th August 2022. The location of this hotel is fantastic, 2 mins walk from the famous Champ Elyses and Arc de Triumphe respectively. There's also elevator exit 5 of Charles de Gaulle Metro station right by the doorstep of the hotel. All in all the location is fantastic.
However, we were unlucky to be given one of the smallest double rooms in the hotel. We've stayed in hotels across the world, the size of room 408 is nothing to write home about and there's literally no room to "swing a cat!". I read a number of reviews prior to booking this hotel and I specifically requested not be put in a small room, but alas it fell on deaf ears. The hotel was fully booked during our stay, so changing rooms was not an option. The room should, at best, be labelled a single room not a double room.
The breakfast was excellent, with lots of cold meat and full English and American varieties. They also have lots of fruits and fresh fruits. The only downside is that the waiters tend to clear the food tray at 12 noon despite the fact that the breakfast time ends at 12.30pm. The hotel management needs to do something about this, the waiters should clear the food trays at 12.30pm, not half an hour prior to the stated end time for breakfast.
I have given this hotel 3*, because of the so called small double room (should be a single room) and the clearing of breakfast way before the advertised time.
I will stay in the hotel again, but certainly not in room 408, the location and beauty alone compensates for the other faults. I will just ask for and insist on a larger room.
