I checked out of the Citadines in London 10 minutes after I checked in; it was smelly & there were urine stains in the bathrooms, ugh. I'm planning a Paris trip & am actually considering Citadines again cuz I can't leave the kids behind. Any input on the various Paris locations?

We have stayed in both the Citadines Voltaire Republique and Citadines Bastille Marais and really enjoyed them. Both were well situated and quite comfortable in the 1 bedroom units. I would give the Bastille Marais a slight edge because of its location and because it has air conditioning. We will stay at a Citadines again on our next trip to Paris.

We just stayed with our two kids at the Citadines - Opera Vendome which was centrally located between the Opera and Madeline. The General Manager and all other employees made our stay so comfortable,<BR><BR>I believe that this is one of their newer locations. The facilities were perfect. I picked this location because of the A/C, daily maid service and location.<BR><BR><BR>

Thanks for your replies. Michele, may I ask whether you got a discounted price, & if so, how? Thanks!

Hiba ==<BR><BR>I made my reservations via the internet through the Citadines web site. I paid their going rate. <BR><BR>Is there a way to get a discounted rate?

Hiba, which London Citadines were you booked in?

There's always a wasy to get a discounted rate! Usually I do a search on google with a term such as "discount mandarin oriental london".<BR><BR>I checked in to the citadines Chequers somewhere in south kensington.
