Citadines La Défense Paris

Was there for the new year celebration with my family.Nice place to be with the family looking at the 2 rooms setup. Only challenge remains the access for food delivery and Uber. By all means Defense access is always complex.

My husband and I stayed at Citadines (La Defense, Courbevoie) for three nights the last week of August 2023. From the moment that we stepped into the hotel, we were warmly greeted by friendly receoptionist Paola. In light of the usual 'customer service' that we experience in Paris, we were pleasantly surprised by Paola's gracious, professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic attitude. If we had any questions, Paola was able to promptly and knowledgeably answer them. If we had any request to make the room more comfortable, Paola was able to address it punctually and to our satisfaction. Paola really made the experience five star from the very beginning. We are somewhat sensitive to noise, so Paola made sure that our room was facing away from the traffic towards the inside of la Defense. This made for a wonderful stay during which we could really relax and sleep well. Paola's good customer service must have been contagious, as the other staff members manning the reception desk were also very pleasant. The room itself was small but comfortable - Citadines has the benefit of an induction stove, new beds / mattresses, and a decently sized shower. This was everything that we needed for our three night stay, and we were very happy overall. There are enough little cupboards located around the room to ensure that clothes can be stored, but nothing too fancy...do not bring a big suitcase unless you upgrade to a bigger room! The entrance to Citadines is somewhat tricky to find as it is necessary to walk up the stairs in front of another hotel called Fraser Suites, along an upper esplanade, and then down some stairs around the back of Fraser Suites (which is the hotel adjoined on to Citadines). The entrance to Citadines is not very grand. Normally, the taxi will drop passengers off in front of Fraser Suites as it is too difficult to find the entrance to Citadines. From the front of Fraser Suites, the entrance to Citadines is not more than a 5 minute walk. Close by Citadines, there is a metro station accessing line 1, which will take passengers straight into the centre of Paris - very convenient. There are no remarkable restaurants in la Defense, so I would recommend that guests of Citadines travel one metro stop into Neuilly-sur-Seine to try one of the top quality restaurants located on rue de Longchamps. If you are looking for a simple yet efficient short term stay (not more than 5 days), definitely try Citadines. The location makes it very convenient to get into Paris quickly without the hassle or price of actually having a hotel in Paris. We did not try the breakfast at Citadines as we just bought our own from bakeries in Neuilly.

Short distance from metro station, good size of the room. Place is quiet, but ventilation is such that neighbor's kitchen cooking odors spread rather far (perhaps guests need to be educated on the hood usage). Kitchen somewhat undersupplied (only one rather small pot, pan, few kitchen utensils, microwave instead of real oven/micro combo, tiny dishwasher, very small counter). A few small irritations that bothered me throughout were sharp edges on door handles and cabinets, poorly designed shower curtain, hard closing of all doors (closets, fridge, cabinets, entry doors) making a lot of noise, which was not well insulated. AC system never really worked the way it was programmed (temperature was always higher than that set by the user by couple of degrees), but I was lucky that the overall outside temperature was not too high, so didn't feel that much of discomfort. Not sure how it would feel in a heat wave. Overall good option for a single traveler longer stay (e.g. week), but a few rough edges in the actual experience.

Great place to stay a family in paris.First of all the location is super safe for a family. The room was clean with a magical view of Paris. The metro station is 2 steps away to get you straight to some of the main attractions and also very easy to reach disnayland. Value for money.

Love the location nearby the metro, line 1 yellow, excellent for visiting the monuments and museums. The personal were extremely kind and helpful, my apartment was clean and quiet and also with a lot of space, great for cooking. The hotel has washing and drying machines and free coffee!

This hotel is near the Metro....you can hop off the metro and walk for about 5 minutes to the hotel. The rooms are clean have all amenities and appear to be new.There were 5 of us ( a family) so we got an apartment and a studio, next to each. This is a great place if you are staying for a while because it has a full kitchen. The toilet being separate from the bath was a nice feature. The staff were very nice and gave me extra blankets as requested. The only issue is there was no complimentary coffee or tea in room, like American hotels. However, there is a convenience store about a 2 minutes walk where you can probably buy some.

We stayed for 3 nights..room was good.. overall a bit small however, and toilet could use a bit of work on it, but lots of room to sleep, and was easy to do so.

Stayed here for a few days whilst on business in La Defense. Hotel is 5 mins away from everything including the underground. Very spacious rooms, I didn’t use the lounge or kitchen areas. Staff both welcoming and excellent, didn’t eat as so much on your door step. Would recommend for a stay either short or long.
