"Delicious breakfast, tiny room and good location"

We stayed in the hotel at the end of April 2008. Location- very convenient but the room was extremely small and after having another bed for our child there, it was almost no space for anything else [including our luggage]. We were over the moon when got down for our first breakfast in the hotel, the reality kicked in the next morning when we had to wait 20 min to get a table and then another 30min to have our table cleared and set for us! Be the first one for breakfast [delicious indeed] or be prepared to wait a long time. We`ve stayed in quite few 4 star hotels but this was defenitelly not the best one!

"nice modern interior design. great location. friendly service."

we found this hotel through the internet without any prior recommendation. liked the central location. was very pleasant surprised by the modern lounge-feel of the lobby. liked the room, but was a little too small for a couple with a baby. the baby-cot fit barely into the room. the bathroom was great. nice modern tiles and fixtures. great water-pressure. the service was very friendly and helpful, but felt a little overwhelmed at check-in. i would definitely stay here again.

"A great find - would throughly recommend it."

Fresh, clean and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good, including the health pills - very innovative. We both really loved all the little touches which set Le General aside from the rest of the pack. It`s only 3 mins walk from the Metro. Highly recommend this fab hotel!!!!!

"good hotel with close metro station"

i thought the hotel was quite good, i would say that there were a few areas that could benefit from a little tidying up. eg. knocks and scuffs on walls/light not working which just let it down a tiny bit.Having said that ,the local area is ok with good breakfast (which can get crowded at busy times) and some nice little touches(we loved the ducks) and the staff were all pleasent and helpful.I would definately recommend this hotel.

"Great Hotel - Good location"

We were very impressed with the hotel. Situated in a quiet street just off the Place de la Republique, the staff were friendly and the rooms very comfortable. I would have no hesitation in recommendng this hotel.

" A well appointed, clean and safe hotel in the heart of Paris with friendly and efficient staff. "

Excellent reception experience. Friendly and efficient staff. Cool decor. Nice breakfast. Our room was well appointed and very clean, although quite small and the rather high sided bath might be a problem for some.

"Beautiful hotel, excellent transport links and very helpful staff."

My fiancee and i stayed here in January for three nights. It was our first time in Paris. The hotel itself is about a 45min ride on the RER form CDG airport, changing at Gard Du nord to travel to republic metro station. The hotel is the a 5min walk from there. The rooms were very modern and the staff couldn`t be more helpful. Good facilities and the usual continental style breakfast. Would definitely recommend this hotel for short and long stays or for business trips because of the close transport links. P.s make sure to try and speak French. No matter how bad your French is the locals will be more helpful if you just try!

"Fantastic boutique hotel in great convenient location just 5 mins from Republique metro station"

Le General is ja trendy boutique hotel. It is extremely clean, great design and friendly helpful staff. The prices are very reasonable for the room and whilst they are not huge they are a good size with a fab bathroom. Breakfast is fantastic - self service but with a great choice including fruit, eggs, cheese and even a mix of vitamin pills. The staff are mor ethan happy to help with anything and the bar is open until 2am. I would recommend this hotel to anyone

"Breakfast"

We both really enjoyed the stay, the rooms were excelently decorated, warm and we really loved the bathroom. The staff were very helpfull. BUT, we were dissapointed with breakfast. It would appear there was only one member of staff and she was doing a sterling job but clearly over whelmed with the number of guests breakfasting. We had to wait some time before getting clean cups at our table and again for some pastries, and when that came we had only a small amount of them, there wasn`t any orange juice and no hot water for tea. I am not complaining about the member of staff, far from it, she was very helpfull and kept smiling when im sure she wanted to cry!!! but all in all i did enjoy my stay.

"Perfect Parisienne Pink Paradise"

What an amazing hotel, the hotel`s own website does it perfect justice. Gorgeous decor, fabulous staff, sweets in the bar, L`Occitane goodies in the bathroom, super sauna. Location was good too, Republique has 5 metro lines running through it. From Charles de Gaulle, take the RER train to Gare du Nord, then Metro to Republique, less than 5 minute walk to the hotel from there. We loved this hotel, chic, fabulous, pink and rubber ducks - perfect!

I liked the styling of this hotel very much - bedroom was very stylish and had everything I needed. I don`t think it had a mini bar though which would be a great improvement. Bathroom was really good, shower perfect, really good mirrors, again lovely styling. Breakfast was very nice and beautifully presented - loved their attention to detail. as central as I would have liked.

"Fantastic Affordable Friendly Hotel!"

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and wished it could have been for longer. We have already recommended this hotel to family and friends and cant wait to hopefully return soon! Lovely room (surprisingly large), friendly staff, great breakfast, fantastic location (good Metro link and loads of local restaurants). The only quibble - shame about the smoke, I guess we are already used to a smoke free UK!

"Beautiful (and very pink) boutiquey hotel in a great spot just off Republique"

This was a great find, reasonably priced, with a fantastic attention to detail. The rooms aren`t huge, but are neutrally decorated with decent en suites. Staff mainly very friendly and helpful. Bar is a cool place for a quick kir royale on your way out, or some late night beer and sweets! One word of advice - check whether breakfast is included in your price before you tuck in, as it can be a nasty shock when presented with the bill! W.ould definitely stay here again.

"A gem of a hotel hidden away, but not to far from the centre of this fabulous city"

Like all guests we were suprised at the decoration of the whole hotel and the staff were extremely helpful. We would recommend the hotel to anyone. The Duck is enjoying his new home, probably like many others throughout europe as I type, this one of the other reasons why the Le General is a must .

"Good clean comfortable hotel"

Spent 5 nights in August. Nice welcome, no problems checking in. Some people might say rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. Bathroom excellent, with good shower. Air conditioning (important in August) worked a treat. Not huge choice for breakfast, but what there was, was excellent, and could get you well fuelled for treks round the city. Overall, would recommend - clean, comfortable, and friendly staff.

"Great hotel"

Really enjoyed staying here. We only had a small room, but everything was of very good quality, great bathroom, TV, air conditioning, toiletries - and of course the duck!. Very good breakfast, again with good quality ingredients. Welcoming, helpful staff. Would certainly visit again.
