Meliá París Champs Elysées in Paris

I am honestly very disappointed with this hotel. I have stayed at Melia hotels before and always had positive experiences, which made this stay even more frustrating. The rooms are extremely outdated, with a very small bathroom where even one person can barely move comfortably. Cleanliness was also below acceptable standards. Bad smells coming frequently inside. There is also mold problem as you can see from the photos. On top of these issues, there was a constant loud noise coming from the electrical panel, which was very disturbing throughout our stay. Overall this experience did not meet the standards I expected and I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel.

I have been coming to this little hotel in the 16eme for perhaps 50 years long before it was taken over by the giant Spanish Melia group. It badly needs a makeover. It used to have a 3-star classification. It now markets itself as 4-star. It can do this by ticking boxes in the Tourist Ministry register. Except it really isn’t. The makeover it was given perhaps 20-30 Years ago is tired. The doors are chipped. There are no walk-in showers which in 2025 when most travellers prefer them to baths is weird. It’s winter and there are no extra blankets. Surely they could install little Expresso machines in the rooms instead of cheap packs of instant coffee. The odd picture on the walls in rooms would be nice. I appreciate that prices are pegged to a) the season and b) local real estate prices. But 300-400 Euros given its condition is excessive. The reception staff are nice and professional. To sum up despite its conversion from the cosy 3-star Alexande Hotel to a supposedly 4-star Melia it needs rescuing

Bad customer service and not maintained. We had ordered lux king large rooms they refuse and we get twin small rooms. Maintenance where too bad and building had cracks which is not 4* hotel standard. Food was ok but not have more choices and the same menu every day.
