Staying at Paris’ Luxury Pullman Hotel – SO SHOCKED!

Staying at Paris’ Luxury Pullman Hotel – SO SHOCKED!

Today we’re checking in to the Pullman Eiffel, which I don’t think I have to tell you where it is. Right by the Eiffel Tower. But the reason we’re checking into this place is because so many of our viewers tell me that this is the desirable spot. They have balconies where you have breakfast or your champagne by the Eiffel Tower and whatnot. So, we’ve seen reviews that are good, we’ve seen reviews that are bad, but we’re checking in to see what our actual experience is. Oh my god. Is that close enough for you? It might be close enough. So, we’ll give you our honest review of what happened here, how much it cost, is it worth it, and all of that. You remove the Eiffel Tower. Would you recommend this hotel? So, stick with us to the end when we give you all of that review and pricing. And let’s go in and check out the Pullman Eiffel Tower. Come on. Oh, this is to the right. To the right. To the right. Welcome. Is this always busy or is this because we’re here? No, always, sir. And the Eiffel Tower is right there. How many rooms are in the hotel? 435. 435. I’m used to hearing 35, not 435 in Paris. 435. Okay. 430 rooms. Wow. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Very kind of you. Look at the lemons up top. Oh, yeah. This is nice. Have a good day. Thank you, Timothy. Nice day. You’re welcome. Thank you, Timothy. That’s a huge elevator. That’s an American style elevator. This used to be a Hilton and now it’s a Well, this was the Paris Hilton. The the one from the daughter. That’s what she appar heard was she was made here, so they named her here. I don’t know if that’s true, but there are stories. Yeah, we’re we’re not friends on Instagram. Well, so far the lobby is beautiful. Oh, right here we’re in 9:08 right off the elevator. Oh, wow. That’s a mirror. I thought it was an enormous room, but it’s nice. It’s a very nice size room. I want to go outside on the balcony. I’m watching the train over here. Yep. There goes the metro on the Paci Bridge over here. And that means that Oh my god. Oh my god. Yeah. Is that close enough for you? It might be close enough. Yeah. Oh wow. Yes. That will do, Mr. Dupont. That would Yeah, this will do. Yes. Oh man, this is close. Wow. If you want to, you know, catch up on your soccer practice, you can uh go right here. No, you know what that is? What is it? That’s watching other people exercise while I have a glass of wine or champagne. Not too shabby at all. The things we get to do for work. We’re working people. We like boutique hotels. So, this is definitely the opposite of a boutique hotel. Uh, but it’s not lacking in charm. No, it’s not lacking in charm. I was expecting it to be just I don’t know, four walls in a bed, you know? It’s It’s more than four walls in a bed. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. The first level has the garden where you can buy a burger. That’s the first level. That’s Madame Brasi. Okay. Jul is right above the second level. See, right above the second level, we actually see some panels. And the studio is up there. That’s right. The studio is all the way at the top. You never took me to the studio. No, I I’d like to go. I’ve never been. I want to go to the top. Okay. I will take you to the top. You can see the elevator going up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are you going to go and check out the room and uh and just check out all the I’ll check out the nooks and crannies of the room. All right. Cool. The first thing that I noticed is the mirror because when I came in, it’s dark over here by the bathroom space. But walking into the mirror, I got to see the room with the handsome gentleman across from over there. We have the desk. Definitely more of a corporate feeling. In the desk, we have realsiz coffee cups. I’ve got the little espresso style, some water glasses, hot water for tea. I’ve got the uh little capsules and stuff. That’s nice. We do have some milk for your coffee in the morning. It’s a fridge with water, so it’s not a mini bar, which has been pretty common. Is it a suite or just a room? It’s a deluxe room. It’s not a suite. And I wanted to make sure that we had an upper floor with the view of the Eiffel Tower, which obviously not every single room has that. So, you got a big painting over here. It’s pretty simple, you know. It’s not overdone. It’s not ornate. It’s It’s very simple. Antoine is sitting on this big love seat for two, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen a love seat for two in a hotel room. And let’s check out the bathroom area. Aha. So, the robes are up here. places to put your things over here by the door. Not that I’ll be doing any ironing, but it’s nice to have that. I don’t see extra pillows or blankets, but that’s been pretty normal as Oh, the bathroom is pretty darn big, especially for a European bathroom. We’ve got a great big mirror, so there’s plenty of space. It’s only one sink, but there’s definitely room for two. It’s a silly thing, but a lot of sinks in France seem to be kind of flat on the bottom. This one is nice. It’s flat, but it’s also curved, so like it seems like it would drain nice and easy. We’ve got the Bigalow lotions, a hand soap and body lotion. Down here, we have what looks to be some decent size towels, and the hair dryer behind. I’ve got some slippers. They’re pretty thin. The potties regular, you know what? Some of them have been a little bit high lately. So, this is a nice uh low potty with the regular wall flush above. That looks like a nice mat shampoo, body wash, and a hair. I need to interject here for a second. Yes. Did you hear the phone ring? He actually called and wanted to make sure that everything was okay. And I thought this is a very nice touch. It is a very nice touch. Yeah. Just I mean, in a hotel of that size, you wouldn’t expect that, you know, they call everybody, but I’m Yeah. So, I told him my wife is happy so far. So, To finish up with the shower, we can take our handheld and put it up here, which is Oh, I don’t know about that. It doesn’t bend. We also have this big thing here. So, it’s kind of like a raining shower. That’s it for the bathroom. All right. So, now let me do the electronics. We walked in this room. It felt very cold. You can turn it on and off. You have three levels of fan if you want it super strong. Oo, I can hear it already kicking in. Uh, and then you can control the temperature. This hotel, like many hotels in Europe, have the key here. And if you remove the key, it turns all the lights in the uh in the room. That’s pretty standard and that’s good for the ecology. Looks like a uh British plug and two French plugs right next to the bed. A couple of switches and then we have the little light with a little soft here for reading at night. That’s one side. And the other side has the exact same thing except one of the plugs is used by the little clock here. For the television, I switched it to English. And so you have all the classics if you want to catch up on your news. Let me show you the desk here. I can see we have a British plug, a French plug, and it actually telling you here this is 240 volts, which is standard in France. This is actually really nice. It’s a nice touch screen here. I can change it to English. Now I have welcome. I have I can use the telephone, the fitness center, events, room service at the pool, man. So it actually is really cool cuz you can click here. Room service here. Bout de Jane packages. So I’m sure you can order some champagne and some other stuff. This is where we’re going to have dinner tonight. Um in frame. Probably the most magical thing in any hotel is the bed. These are nice little stripey uh sheets. It’s got some some push. It’s another one of those firm soft ones. Oh, you know what’s funny? Yeah. I’m a pillow snob, among other things. Um, you’re a wine snob and a pillow snob. Oh my god. Yeah. Salt snob, wine snob. But one of the things that is really uh particular for me in a hotel is that the pillows are sometimes all really hard. And so like this one is soft. It’s got a little bit of memory to it. This one is definitely memory foam and a lot firmer. When I put them together, it’s a good combination of hard pillow, soft pillow. You know, the bed skirt is a little tired, but that’s all right. What I feel this is I wouldn’t call it like Las Vegas, but this is the closest that I would get to feel like, you know, when you go in Las Vegas and you can see, okay, this this hotels I’ve seen thousand it’s been used. It’s used. Does it look clean to you? See the carpet? It’s got a little bit of uh it’s got some wear here in the corner on the floor, but I think it seems like they’ve done a nice enough job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I I noticed this this uh tile work here. It’s a little bit beat up in the corner. And again, Yeah. Iron lady. Yeah. Nobody’s looking at the tile on the floor because they’re all looking over there. Exactly. For me, it’s a very corporate room. I have seen those kinds of hotel rooms thousands of times before. But it also has the advantage of having all the stuff you would expect in a hotel room. It doesn’t have the uniqueness of a boutique, but it also isn’t exactly the cookie cutter that I get in a lot of other places. Yeah, true, true, true, true. So, what do you say we go and uh and check out the hotel like like the rest? I think we should. Let’s go check out the hotel. Come on. All right. I want to see the rooftop. The 11th floor must be the apartment penthouse on the top floor. That’s almost 4,000 a night. That’s it. But I’ve heard you can actually touch the Eiffel Tower from there. Just kidding. Seal is this way. Ah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, there’s some dancing, too. Maybe. It’s stunning, isn’t it? Can you imagine tea time here? I’m looking at Sakur. Wow. Did I tell you? Yeah. Not too shabby. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, that’s the view. We’ve seen some fabulous views. Yeah. But not that close. That’s That’s close. Yeah. Yeah. It’s uh pretty amazing. Yeah, it’s a whole new level. You ready for dinner? I am very ready for dinner. Oh, let’s go and do it. It’s a beautiful space. I have a reservation. Well, thank you. The name of James Bond. Is it? No. You know what it reminds me of? This menu. It’s very much Marriott. out of the freezer. Looks like any Marriott, any Hyatt. Out of the freezer. Yeah, I know you want something light and I want something light. Am I thinking of having a salad? Have the salad if you want the salad. Yeah, I might go for the fish. Okay, we’ll see. Here. Aren’t you supposed to drink it? I live here. So, and my liver is just wants me to be reasonable. We’re trying to be reasonable after the flight over, too. I’ll see you soon. All right. Cheers to you, my darling. Cheers to you. [Music] I like that. So, what did you get? I got a codfish. It looks yummy. It’s nice. Oh, it feels a little crispy in the skin. Yeah, it looks yummy. That looks like a great white fish. Yeah, it’s a cod fish. It’s a very sensible meal. It is a sensible meal. It’s yummy. And I got myself a chicken Caesar. Reason why I got that because I’m just I’m not always in the mood for a heavy uh meal and want to have something sensible. Look at this nice piece of breaded chicken. Looks nice and crispy. I don’t know what this is. Feels like it could be a little bit of a hummus or something. I’m not sure. Good stuff. It’s the aioli sauce. I forgot there was ioli sauce on here. I’m going to put some of that aioli on the fish. [Music] Good stuff. [Music] And I know Antoine’s going to steal my French fries. [Music] Just one. There’s video evidence. [Music] It’s not the best salad I’ve ever had in my life, but I didn’t come here for the food. I came here for the Eiffel Tower view. Little piece of chicken, my darling. Bonapit. Okay, so this was a great dinner, but now we’re going to go upstairs in our room on the balcony, and I want to take Colleen outside to go and see the Eiffel Tower sparkle up close. It’s dark. I got to put my key. All right. Oh, she’s not sparkling yet. It is 56. 56. 4 minutes. And they’re playing soccer. Look at this. They’re playing in the dark, though. And they’re not uh they haven’t put the lights down. Come on. 58. 58. It’s the countdown. It’s coming soon. No, it’s naturally triggered by sundown by by dusk. Oh, what time is it? 59. It’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming. And I got to film that. Yeah, cuz it’s pretty. And it’s close. Any moment now. There you go. There you go. Yeah. You can hear the roar. You can literally hear the roar on the uh on the Shan mouse. Yeah. On the lawn. Yep. Wow. What a view. What a sight. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? It’s magical. It’s more than just pretty. Like there’s an element of magic to it. I bet like in the middle of the night, it’s got to be But it stops, right? It does stop around midnight, but if we come back in an hour, it’ll look different. What I’m really thinking is what an amazing feat of engineering. Yeah, that’s what’s extraordinary and especially when they built that. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was canalless. I mean, if you think I mean, if you look at it now, I mean, think about it in 1900 when they built that, how how people felt about it. And that’s the power of a visionary. Yeah. Yeah. Gustav, this has been an amazing day with a fabulous view. Checking into the Pullman. And I’m going to turn the camera off so I can have a nice romantic evening with my honey bun. And we’ll see you guys tomorrow for breakfast. Good night. Good night. [Music] [Music] Good morning, Mrs. Dup. Good morning. You had a good night. I slept well. This is one of the best view of the Eiffel Tower that I’ve seen from a building by a long shot. I’m sure some people in those uh apartment buildings that won’t return my phone calls uh so I can go and hang out at their place uh have a better view. But this one is uh it’s it’s definitely breathtaking. It’s tough to get closer without being in it where you can’t see it. Yeah, it’s a crappy cup of coffee. Yeah, it is. That’s for me it’s a total reality versus Instagram warning. That’s what I got. That’s what I got. I can’t argue with that one. It’s like it’s cold. It’s noisy. There is a dump truck. I mean, I’m not kidding. Look at down down down below there’s a a dump truck and you can hear the but really my view is looking at gray street and taxi lines and a in a sports field. So yes, it’s nice. I love the view, but this isn’t how I pictured that fantasy morning having breakfast by the Eiffel Tower. It’s just I think I’d rather go downstairs and sit up here for €7 and have coffee and croissant. Uh let’s go have breakfast. Let’s go have breakfast. All right, grab a plate and go. Yeah. What is that? Oh, I think they have the little links and the big ones close enough to crispy bacon just to try it. It looks like you’re making me a plate. I think I want to try the Italian sausage, too. It’s a high protein diet. Darling, I’m just going to tell you something. If you if you pick beans, this is where I draw the line. I don’t think I’m going to do that. Two potatoes and I’m good. I can’t decide if I want one of those pastries, but I think you’re going to get that. Yeah, I’m going to get a croissant. I want one of those cuz that looks like really nice bread directly in the toaster. Yeah. Just drop it. Just like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Okay. And then it just going to do the the run and then it’ll come out underneath. Yeah. Okay. I’m going to go and make my plate now. You drop that over there. Yes. All right. So, that’s what every hotel should do in Paris is give you a little pot of coffee instead of that individual thing. You can serve yourself, top it off, get your sugar. So, this is what you got. This is what I got. Honestly, it’s big. It’s spread out. It’s a little overwhelming. feel like I got to walk all the way over there to to get a juice or whatever. So, I’m just going to try. It really feels like Las Vegas and this breakfast buffet. The difference between here in Las Vegas. Yeah, cuz I’ve had amazing buffet food in Las Vegas. Oh, well, how’s this one? Tastes like banquet food. But you have the Eiffel Tower right there, my darling. It is behind the tree. But you It’s right there. Trust me. Take my word for it. I’ve been through my share of morning buffet breakfast. This is not rich quality. This is maybe a courtyard marriott or something like that. It’s um it’s going to fill my belly. It tastes like a reheated frozen food and I believe it was it’s 35 bucks a pop, right? €35 each. No, it’s not good. It’s just not good. The sausage is uh dry as dry can be. Super dry. The toast is nice and the butter is good. They did something right. My croissant is decent. But the other stuff just tastes like chemical infused American processed food. This isn’t even an American hotel. It’s a French chain of hotels. So none of this stuff with this breakfast makes sense to me. So, now let’s go upstairs and we’ll give you a full review of everything we’ve done here, our experience, and we’ll tell you the honest review of what we did and how much this little adventure cost. The view from the bed is better than the view from the balcony. Are you ready to review this place? I am fully ready to review uh the Pullman Hotel by the Eiffel Tower. What was your first impression when you arrived at the hotel? Hectic, chaos, felt like Las Vegas. It was too much for me. Got it. I agree completely. You know, Antoine dropped me off and went to park the car. So, I was sitting out front watching everything that was coming and going while I was waiting for him to come back. I remember sitting outside of the MGM in Vegas having that same feeling. But once you enter, the lobby is beautiful. You know, like they have the it looked like lemon vines and lavender and baskets and stuff from the ceiling. It wasn’t obvious in the chaos like were there people standing in line or waiting for an elevator? Like I didn’t know where to go. And I saw a gentleman and I asked him like, “Is this okay?” And he said yes. So Timothy was wonderful. And then, you know, I got my cards. I got QR code to give a review and whatnot. I never got a Wi-Fi code. I never found a Wi-Fi code in the room or anything. The sleeping room itself is very large by French standards. The bathroom is big. The room is, you know, clean, but you know, very tired. I I don’t like the decor. I think it’s very plain jane. So, I didn’t take the cheapest room. I took the one a step above because I wanted to guarantee higher floors and the balcony with the view. And that in low season on August 21st uh is €611. And if I remove the Eiffel Tower, this is a $250 to $300 uh dollar room. Yeah. Uh at best. The dinner last night was, you know, banquet style. It was service again was very friendly, but the food was like any chicken, Caesar salad, any fish anywhere. The breakfast was the same way, you know, for 35 bucks a pop, €70. We did pay extra to have the balcony, but there was just no way for us to to sit on the balcony together, which for me is kind of the point because I don’t want to sit out there alone and have that experience. I want to share it with my darling who would have his back to the tower or I have my back to the tower. In my mind, I was going to do this review outside with the Eiffel Tower. You can’t put the seats side by side. I mean, the reason why we’re doing this hotel is because we’ve heard so many people that actually booked this hotel, and it seems to be the hotel that a lot of our viewers go to when they’re coming to Paris because they want that dream image of sitting on the terrace with the Eiffel Tower right there, you know. And here’s the thing. If you want to be that close to the Eiffel Tower, come over and have a drink upstairs on the 10th floor because you’re going to have something that’s closer to what you think you’re going to get over here on your terrace. But that’s as much as you’re going to do. The rest of it is overrated. Let me put it that way. I I’ve looked at the reviews, you know, before that. I want to have a sense cuz I didn’t know what I was going to walk into. I’m going to pay 600 plus dinner. That’s 700 plus breakfast. I’m gonna be around between 800 and 900 euros. Closer to 900 for one night for this hotel, for this food, for the experience that we’ve had. And it’s way overpriced for what it is. It’s way overpriced. And it felt more like a Paris themed hotel in Vegas than actually Paris. I was looking through hopeful eyes and there were glimpses here and there, but overall it was a big letdown. I guess my question would be, would you recommend this hotel? No, there’s so many other better options. That’s my take on it. We would love to hear your experience of the Pullman. If you’ve stayed in this hotel and if you had a great experience, please share it and how it was for you so everybody can get a sense of this hotel. If you got value out of this video, please uh like it and please support us by subscribing to the channel and share it with anyone that would get value out of this. Next, I would watch this video right here in the corner of another experience and another review of a beautiful hotel in Paris. And until next time, Or well.
