I stayed here with my wife, two teenagers and small child. We called ahead and were told that a quad room would accomadate our family. The reality was that the room was much too small. I tried talking with the staff about getting a second room and they basically quoted me 160 euro, standard price, even though the advertised internet... more

I booked at the California S. Germain for the second time, as I was there the year before. The hotel is a good deal for staying in the real heart of Paris: it's 3-5 min walking distance to Notredame, to the Saint Germain area, Odeon included, where you will find so many restaurant where to eat. The metro station is... more

This hotel is sold as a 3 star hotel, but one would be a present for the owner. Everithing was bad in our stay. The two bedroom apartament had the walls scratched, the housekeeper did not put the trash out, the breakvast was suposed to be included on my rate, but they did not accept, and i present the voucher... more

This was our second stay and our previous one was at the sister hotel across the street , Moderne Saint Germain..We were shocked to see that the sister hotel had undergone a face lift and looked great but no rooms were available. So, we stuck with our initial reservation at the California. Nothing to get excited about, very basic but... more

What a mixed bag of reviews! As ever, I did check out the trusted reviews of fellow travellers before staying at this hotel in Paris, but I'm going to be honest and say that although I was a little put off, I still went anyway as I thought I was getting reasonable quality for my money. I think that this... more

My friend and I were in Paris for the 6 Nations rugby and needed a Left Bank convenient and reasonably priced hotel. The day before we left, the reviews almost made me cancel. So what is the hotel really like, according to two men in their late 40s early 50s? Location - pretty good for us, short walks to pretty... more

This might be the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. First let me say that if the room had cost 30 or 40 Euros I wouldn't be as harsh but the rack rate is 150 Euros and we paid around 100 Euros through a package deal with Eurostar. The pictures on their website make the place look good but don't... more

My husband and I and another couple stayed in Hotel California for three days last fall. The hotel is very small, with an iffy elevator and exceedingly rude desk staff who would not acknowledge you even when you were standing right in front of them. They seem to employ mainly students who, apparently, feel that the job is beneath them.... more

we stayed there late June and when my brother in law and his wife went down for breakfast in the basement they met who they thought was a maintenance person on the steps who asked what room they were in so they could clean it, a short while later my BIL didnt feel good about it and went back up... more
