Adequate & Good Location
After reading mixed reviews of the Hotel Castiglione, we travelled to Paris unsure of what to expect. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a pleasant and friendly gentleman on reception who sorted our room keys and payment out etc immediately. Our room, although typically small, was clean and adequate and the recently refurbished bacthroom was of a decent size. The location of the hotel is very good, situated behing a number of embassies and government buildings and very close to the Place de Concorde, Louvre Museum and the Champs Elysees, all of these were infact within a 5 min walk. The hotel is surrounded by a bevy of up-market designer boutiques which would test even the deepest wallet !! The bar in the hotel is reasonably small and rather expensive, but I suppose you're in Paris after all. Breakfast was surprisingly quite good and the staff in the Breakfast room were very courteous indeed.

Do not recommend
WE stayed for 2 nights in the Castiglione, and it was enough. The room was like a sauna-turning off the radiators did not help, the air-con didnt work-and this was in the beginning the March, and it was freezing outside.The room was tiny, the bed was tiny and uncomfotable There was stains on the carpet! Not at all like the pictures on the internet. While i understand that they show the best room in their photos, the room was not a four star standard. The reception was quite nice, but I found the staff quite unhelpful. We could not even get an iron. Location was good though.
