 We felt like all the photo s didn t depict the hotel very well We saw photo s that were really of another one of their locations in Paris and not the Rivoli location The time of year and the room we stayed in contributed to a very warm stay for us For the price that we paid we hoped for a more modern air conditioning system They had a floor model that needed ice added to it each day in order to acquire some level of cooler tolerance It was still very warm and made for a few restless nights sleep I don t know if it was just our room or similar experiences from other guests but it was not pleasant 
 We loved the location We were close to a lot of things We loved the restaurant the two nights we decided to eat there It is pricey but for quality convenience and service we would recommend it The bar area was comfortable and we spent a few hours there on two separate occasions And the spa was very nice with a wide variety of services We experienced a facial and massage the pool area and the sauna All very nice and clean I would recommend for them to switch their system in the pool from chlorine to a salt water system though Much better on the skin and hair for a spa pool The service was very nice too I read about stuffy and uppity service but from my experience they were all knowledgeable and professional We didn t have ANY issues with the staff We appreciated their professionalism
