The location and the breakfast buffet were my two unbeatable aspects for citizenM Gare de Lyon. Being so close to the Gare de Lyon gave access to the RER and Métro to get you around Paris. The breakfast buffet is truly exceptional, fresh baked goods, unlimited coffee, other beverage options, hot selection etc .. I've had citizenM's breakfast buffet in London and I love the consistency of their "model" . I was also pleasantly surprised with the view.....while a building covered a portion of it I still loved that I could see the Eiffel Tower and the Seine 💙
Everything. The view of the river and Eiffel Tower were fabulous. The employees were great. The room was great. Great shower. Great location near two train/metro stations. Great breakfast. Need I go on?

Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Paris
Spring
Summer and major event weeks (June–August, Fashion Week weeks, French Open week).
Winter (January–mid March) and late autumn (late October–November) outside holidays.
March–May. Temperatures moderate, parks and gardens (Tuileries, Luxembourg, Parc des Buttes-Chaumont) bloom; outdoor café culture returns. Good time for walking tours and river cruises.
A series of high-profile runway shows, presentations, and parties that attract global industry and media. There are multiple Fashion Weeks (Haute Couture, Men's, Womenswear) across the year; each brings an influx of visitors.
One of tennis's Grand Slams held at Stade Roland-Garros each May–June. The tournament fills hotels and restaurants in Paris and nearby suburbs.
France's national day on July 14 featuring a military parade on the Champs-Élysées, fireworks at the Eiffel Tower, and local festivities across the city.
One of Europe's major marathons, usually in April. Routes pass many iconic landmarks and draw international runners and spectators.
City-wide free music festival on June 21 where professionals and amateurs perform in streets, bars, and squares across Paris.
An annual all-night arts festival (usually in October) with contemporary installations, performances, and free museum late-night openings around the city.
From late November through December, neighborhoods and grands magasins set up markets, seasonal food stalls, and elaborate window displays and lights.
Summer installation creating temporary 'beaches' along parts of the Seine and other sites with sand, chairs, and activities.
Paris has a temperate climate but can be changeable. Layering is key—bring a light waterproof jacket, comfortable walking shoes, and a compact umbrella year-round. For summer, pack breathable fabrics and sun protection; in winter prioritize a warm coat, scarf, and closed shoes. Check forecasts before day trips (especially for Versailles or Giverny).
Hotel prices in Paris fluctuate with three main factors: calendar seasonality (summer and major holidays), large events (Paris Fashion Week, Roland-Garros, trade fairs like Paris Motor Show, major concerts), and location (1st–8th arrondissements and areas near landmarks and major train stations command premiums). High season runs broadly from late May through September and around the Christmas/New Year period; expect the highest nightly rates in June–August and during event weeks. Value windows are January–mid-March and late October–November (excluding school holidays), when rates and airfare drop and you can find deals—though weekends may still be pricier. Book 2–4 months ahead for normal travel; for Fashion Week, major events, or summer weekends, book 4–6+ months ahead. Short-notice travel (within 2 weeks) often faces limited availability and surcharges. Weekday vs weekend: business hotels can be pricier Mon–Thu while leisure areas push prices up on weekends. Apartment rentals may be cheaper for longer stays but check for cleaning and city taxes.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Paris has an extensive public transport network (metro, RER, buses, trams) that is usually the fastest way to get around central Paris; taxis and rideshares fill gaps.
Buy timed-entry tickets for major attractions (Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Versailles) and consider the Paris Museum Pass if you plan multiple museum visits. For quieter experiences, visit popular sites early morning or late afternoon, and explore lesser-known arrondissements (Canal Saint-Martin, Belleville, Batignolles) for authentic Parisian life.
