Pullman Properties in Paris

I had a great time staying at the Pullman Hotel in La Défense, Paris. The location was perfect, especially for visiting Disneyland Paris, which was just about a 15-minute walk away – very convenient for a day trip. Additionally, there was a huge shopping area nearby within walking distance, making it easy to indulge in some retail therapy after a busy day. The hotel itself was excellent, offering comfortable accommodations and modern amenities. However, there were a few downsides regarding the fitness facilities. The gym was quite small and felt outdated, with a limited selection of equipment. It definitely could use an upgrade and more diverse gym gear to enhance the workout experience. The sauna also had some issues with access; the process for entering and operating it was not very user-friendly and could benefit from better handling or clearer instructions. Despite these minor setbacks, my overall stay was wonderful. The hotel's location and amenities made it a memorable experience, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area, especially if you're planning a trip to Disneyland Paris.

To be honest, I booked this hotel entirely for the tower view. However, it's a far cry from Pullman hotels back home in China. You can only check in really late. The lobby's color scheme, red and green, is just... indescribable. I also ordered flowers and a small cake to be delivered to the room, which was apparently around 100 to just under 200 euros. I think the champagne was also 100 or 200 euros, I can't quite remember. Anyway, go for the tower view, but don't expect anything else...

I stayed at Pullman Paris Montparnasse and had a very pleasant experience overall. The hotel feels modern and well organized, and the room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, which made it easy to rest after a full day of exploring Paris. The location is also very convenient, especially with its proximity to the Montparnasse transportation hub, making it easy to move around the city. The staff were professional and helpful whenever assistance was needed. Overall, it is a reliable and comfortable hotel for travelers visiting Paris.

Overall, for a hotel in Paris, this one offers good value for money. Although it's located in the 12th arrondissement, which is a bit suburban, the proximity to the metro station makes it very convenient. It's only two stops to the famous Châtelet station. The room wasn't small either. It seems like many Accor brand hotels are in this area. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. However, finding a laundromat was really difficult and far – you'd probably need an electric scooter to get to a residential area about 2 kilometers away. What's highly recommended is their gym. It occupies the entire basement level and even offers free apples for an energy boost. There's a wide variety of equipment, and the dumbbells come in a full range of weights, including heavy ones. There are also different small rooms for individual workouts, along with separate restrooms and shower rooms. My biggest disappointment was their breakfast. Even though the ingredients seemed high-quality and possibly organic, paying nearly 200 RMB per person and not finding anything that suited a Chinese palate and was healthy was frustrating. There were no leafy green vegetables, just some very basic, raw cabbage hearts. Some of the cold cuts were surprisingly unappetizing. The staff also seemed very rushed. I only found out after leaving that you could ask a server for coffee. The only thing I'd recommend is the freshly made omelets – bring your own vegetables to get enough protein. Taste-wise, it was honestly not as good as Hampton by Hilton. Another overall impression is that hotels in France don't have the same warmth as those in Belgium, and the English proficiency was slightly inferior. Don't even expect any Chinese-speaking staff.
