Good Room, Good Service, Good Location
Be sure to get a weekly "Carte Orange" for unlimited Metro and bus acess, even if you are there for less than a week. It provides a sense of freedom of movement and exploration not possible otherwise. Jumping on and off the Metro and bus to simply see what's there at any time is an incomparable way to see the city.

Good Business Hotel
This Sofitel is a chic and very comfortable addition to the chain. Whilst it is quite a feat to find this hotel by car (taxi drivers seemingly had no clue where it was), the access to the metro could not be simpler. Clearly you could stay nearer the hub of things in a lesser hotel for the same price, but if you want some comfort and don't think 15 mins on the metro is a big deal (it isn't) then stay here in some style.

A good hotel, but this is not Paris.
The hotel itself posebe good. Amenities simply magnificent bed, a different bathroom. The main disadvantage of a hotel - is that there is not that you are in Paris.

Good hotel but not in the tourism area
Good hotel. New, clean, the condition is very good. It is close to the Metro and RER, however, it takes some time for me to find it. The service is good. Staff is helpful.
