I stayed 2 night at the Le Meridien Etoile. When I checked in and went to my (first) room, I found that it had not been serviced since the previous guest had left. Consequently the bed was unmade, there was trash laying around, and there were cigarette butts in the ashtrays. Luckily the staff was more than willing to rectify the situation and I was moved to a non-smoking room with a king sized bed - perfect! Per other comments on this hotel, I did find certain aspects quite unappealing. My bed did not even have a comforter - just sheets and a light blanket. The hallways to me seemed like they could have been quite impressive at one time, but the carpeting and furniture seemed extremely worn, as if they had not been updated in quite some time. Those comments aside, the room had a very nice bathroom with speakers, so you could listen to one of the TV radio stations while showering (there was a very nice jazz channel). The "extras" at the hotel did seem a bit pricey. Internet usage was 25 euros for 24 hours, or I think something like .60 euros per minute. The drink prices in the bar started at 25 euros, and the food in the restaurant was also quite steep. True it was a very nice restaurant, but there are better choices in very close proximity.
The location of the hotel was the main appeal for me. It is very close to a metro stop, which basically means that the whole city is a block away. It is also very close to the Arc d'Triomphe and Champs Elysee, which makes for a delightful stroll from the hotel.

| | | | Le Meridien Etoile: EXTREMELY OVER PRICED!!! Compare Rates NEW! | Satisfaction: | | | | |
This hotel is extremely over rated, the rooms are small, even at the "executive" level, the rooms were ridiculously small, no pool, the only thing good about the hotel is the lobby, the hotel front, and it's location. The parent company Starwood has now upgraded the level of this "it's" hotel to a level 5 from a level 4 for absolutely no reason, as of December it was a level 4 (which is too much), now a level 5, who knows maybe next year a level 6 ?? this is a category 2 hotel at best. The current rating of 5 by Starwood is the same as cheating you and me "the customers". when you arrive, the lobby is very nice, but when you go to your room, it's completely different, it's the total opposite. I personally would not pay a penny over $80 to $100.00 (U.S.Dollars not Euros) per night for this hotel. good luck.
Location is close to shopping, arc du triomphe, metro. Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average
