Arena Hôtel La Défense

good hotel, the local area looks run down, but otherwise ok.

Not so good value for money but the room was confortable

First impression was not the greatest since the hotel lobby is up a few flights of stairs (not easy when you arrive with baggage) and no elevator, but after that we were completely satisfied with our stay. Hotel staff is friendly and at your service; rooms are modern and very clean; would not recommend, however, the breakfast. Over 14 euros for a small selection; neighbourhood is quiet and residential but there are a few good restaurants nearby and it is close to public transit (approx. 5 min walk) and a grocery store as well. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice of hotel.

The thing is that the Hotel is in a building which has other parts which are abandon and derelict , so does not give you confidence. I know the hotel is not responsible for this, but they should be aware. The options to eat out are limited again something they are not responsible but as a user might be good to know. The metro station is at a short walk, which was convenient. Room clean but Spartan for however like a little more fancy appearance.

The staff was excellent! Everyone was so helpful, accommodating & friendly. They even ordered food for us a couple nights because we had a hard time ordering it ourselves. The rooms were very clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathrooms are very modern! I love them. We will be staying again when we return to France.
