What a nice place to stay. Very good price for a good basic hotel in a great location.
I don't understand the review of Donstallion. He even dislikes Paris. Don must be from an other planet.

This was our second stay at Residence Chalgrin and it confirmed our first impression: Very pleasant staff, good clean rooms, a copious breakfast and a quiet night just a few minutes walk from Champs Elysees and Etoile. Every room is furnished differently and it's cosy!!!!
It is very near the metro, bus from the airport and RER. We noticed several "returnees", and the hotel is becoming very popular. Early reservation is necessary.
All this for less than EURO 100 in the centre of Paris is of course also the reason for its popularity.

This is exactly what I'd hoped we would be staying at. A simple back street Parisian beauty in a quiet location. The unfortunate thing is everyones getting to hear about it! Situated of the main street and only around the corner from the busy Arc de Triomphe. Loved it immediately walking into the reception area. Staff spoke little English so we endeavoured to speak in French. I think this helped immensely as they went out of their way to assist. We stayed on the first floor in a cosy period setting room with view over street. The bathroom was small but adequately equipped and clean. Room service daily and excellent buffet breakfast for 9 euro each. Getting there from Charles de Gaulle was simple via Air France Bus service (15 euro each) to Arc de Tiomphe and a 5 minute walk from stop. Metro just around the corner including Bus lines (Hop on Hop Off). I have no hesitation in recommending this little ripper and we definately will be being staying at RC on our next visit to Paris.

The only fault we had with the room was the floor creaked everywhere we moved.

As a lover of french culture and everything Parisian, I had high hopes for our hotel in Paris. I did not want to stay a large chain type hotel that I could stay at anywhere at home. The Hotel Chalgrin is the PERFECT Parisian hotel. Very affordable, a small place, only 20 or so rooms, it is located about a block from the Arc de Triomphe, as well as the Argentine metro station on the yellow line. So incredibly convenient. The rooms are all beautifully decorated and while there is no elevator, the spiral staircase is a nice change from the conventional large scale hotels. The breakfast was good, and affordable, but is the same every morning, with a few exceptions, but it was a money saver for us and was no bother, we would rather have spent the extra money on dinner later anyway. The staff was very polite and helpful in giving us directions and suggestions on things to do and places to go.Free WI-FI in the rooms was a bonus as well. We will definitely be staying here again.
