Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    i'm a big fan of shisha and i've been visiting shisha lounges everywhere i go in asia and europe. Alchimie is one of the best so far !

    go for the kloud , it's only few euros different than the traditional but it totally worth the bucks! shisha is long lasting, great flavor (personal fav is blueberry mint), their mint tea is great as well. dont miss the Happy Hour deal !!

    tips: come early ! it gets packed at night

    I use to buy cigars at the Drugstore on the Champs Elysées!
    I looked for other places dedicated to cigars with a variety of choice.

    The place is great! The owner Cyril is cool... you can tell it's a labor of love, passion.

    So he's not really working. Good advices

    I booked this bar last month through privateaser. We had the entire downstairs privatised for 30 people. We could bring our own cake and snacks. And even play our own music. Super happy with the guys who work here and the amazing cocktails they make. Definitely recommending this place.

    However if you plan to book this place, it's better to inform the manager that you want snacks to be served or not. Unless you preorder there will not be anything to eat. This wasn't a problem for us as we went and picked up snacks and pizzas quickly.

    We stopped by to buy a bottle of champagne for a meeting with colleagues. It was early (5 PM )so the only people there were the owner and a friend; they were enjoying a glass of wine and a plate of charcuterie before the evening rush. My colleague ended up getting into a long and fascinating conversation about wine with the owner; he talked us into buying a bottle of natural sparkling wine instead, which turned out to be delicious and far less expensive. His good cheer and great advice made our evening! Next time I'm in Paris I will definitely return and stay to eat and drink with the locals.

    My friends and I rocked some Britney Spears in this great karaoke joint in Montparnasse. Attentive staff, cold beer, and good times to be had. Themed rooms are clean and cute (ours was gold). Travelers should definitely check it out! After singing, you feel like you've earned your dinner. :)

    Utopia has been a Paris music fixture for 40 years and has hosted blues legends Memphis Slim, Jack Dupree, Mickey Baker, Shrimp City Slim, and more. Smoky, grungy, and over-priced, this joint is what it is ... Authentic.

    I called the place to book a table for my husband's birthday. The lady I organized everything with was very nice, she booked a wonderful table with a perfect view to the scene for us. The menu was not so rich on choices, but I guess it was the evening like that, since there was a concert of a jazz band. It is quite nice place and very comfortable. The food is of good quality, but little expensive.
    Anyway, we spent a very good time there. Recommend!)

    Randomly found this bar as we were heading back to the hotel. Great music, friendly staff. Everyone in there was lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend a stop off for a drink or two.

    We came for the Twomby which was very much as expected. Ate in the restaurant but the food was middling and the staff unhelpful and brusque. Been there done that. Probably won't be back.

    This is a peaceful famous Parisian cigar lounge. The only bad point to me is that the smoke vacuum isn’t very efficient.

    We stayed at Carda Beach between Jun-12 - Jun-15 and were expecting a quiet and fulfilling weekend.
    We got exactly that during the day with excellent food, terrific staff and a stunning pool / beach.

    Unfortunately, I would like to emphasis the 3 nights we experienced at Carda (Room 2272) -

    Night I - The air condition stopped working at 8pm. We called reception but nobody actually came. The next day we were told that the problem was fixed, just that nobody felt the need to update us.

    Night II - Guess what ? 8pm again, No air condtioning. Called the desk again, notified me there is nobody available to fix the problem. Eventually, I walked to the front desk in the middle of the night to receive a different room to sleep in, whilst promising me it would be fixed the next day.

    Day III - The hotel manager blames me that we played with the remote control and therefore it stopped working each night (even though the AC completely died with no indication light on the panel). She also said that next time this happens to take the batteries out of the remote control - but guess what - there is no panel to do so on the remote. She also stated that a technician was in our room, checked it out, and that it works fine.

    Night III - NO AC AGAIN. A bellboy FINALLY arrived at 12:30 midnight to our room (we had to get up at 5am to reach our flight), went straight to the electrical panel, and rediverted the AC wire to a different circuit. He said that it was intentionally done to make it stop working at night.

    In conclusion, 3 nights without AC, a technician that didn't fix the problem, a manager that blamed us playing with the remote control which caused the problem (even though it was clearly a malfunction in the electric panel in the room), and worst of all - no compensation what so ever for the 3 (sleepless) nights suffered at Carda Beach.

    Poor review as there's a lot of things wrong with this place. It's great if you want a bit of a dance and it's a student night but a lot of things could be improved here. The prices are absolutely ridiculous for one drink and even the non-alcoholic drinks are severely overpriced, I think my friend paid 8€ for a coke once which is absolutely outrageous. The door staff on the way in are not the nicest and you're pretty much treated like a criminal as you're waiting in line to get into the club. The staff in the toilets are also very very rude if you don't speak French and quite rude if you do speak French, one of them practically shouted at me when I walked into the toilets with a bottle of beer (he decided to tell me you weren't allowed drinks in the bathrooms 10 minutes after I'd been queuing up and finally reached the front of the line).
    Other than these conditions you can actually have a pretty good time at the club if it's a student night on a Thursday as you get in free before 12 (you have to arrive between 11pm - 11.15pm to even have a chance at getting in though).
    Also the stickers for where you come from / what languages you speak is a pretty cool idea!
