The Hilton Paris hotel is in a great location next to the Eiffel Tower. Though not a great building to look at, and maybe in need of a lick of paint in a few places, the rooms are a very good size, the staff very friendly, and the food good.
I've stayed here five times over the last six years. The rooms at the front have balconies so you can look up at the Eiffel Tower - great in the evening it's floodlit, and the sparkly lights come on every hour. The rooms at the back of the hotel are quieter and overlook a small garden.
Huge buffet selection for breakfast - everything from the very healthy to the very unhealthy.
The hotel is a short walk from both an RER and a metro station so very handy for both train systems.
Also within a short walk of the hotel is a good selection of restaurants and some small shops, e.g., a small supermarket, a bookshop, stationers, and a pharmacy.
Would highly recommend staying here!

Stayed at the Hilton Eiffel for 5 nights in May on our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic time.
We booked the hotel directly with Hilton and took the Eurostar into Paris for a change from flying. We were totally pleased with the ease of travel on the Eurostar - no waiting for baggage, no lengthy check-in, passport control is quick etc and certainly use again.
Now the hotel, I can’t think of any negatives for the hotel apart from being a bit pricey for food and drinks - but that is to be expected for Paris.
We had a standard room and had asked for a view of the Eiffel Tower - which we got and also a room overlooking the garden, which was a bonus as most rooms with views of the tower overlook the front and the road. Tower looks amazing at night lying in bed - what a view!
Our standard room was lovely, large, and extremely spacious with the most comfortable huge bed. Plenty of closet space and a good size bathroom. Room was cleaned daily and cannot fault the level of service.
Breakfast in the hotel was excellent, large buffet selection everything from continental, fresh fruit, pastries etc to American style cooked breakfasts and gorgeous waffles with maple syrup. Only complaint some of the tables were a bit close together.
Evening meal in the restaurant was amazing, some of the best food we had ever tasted -though it was rather on the pricey side. There are plenty of nice restaurants near the hotel with equally nice food but considerably cheaper.
Location of the hotel is great just a five minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, where you can easily pick up the open top bus tours which are a great way of seeing the city and getting around.
Staff at the hotel were courteous and professional and appreciated if you said your 'please/thank you’d' in French.
Euro Disney is worth a visit, nowhere near the class of Florida so be warned. However it’s still a good day out and effortless to get there on the metro.
Overall the Hilton Eiffel is an excellent hotel and I would thoroughly recommend it.
