LoneStar Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 This is an extraordinarily good price for this hotel. I've stayed there, albeit not on an opaque rate. The location is quite advantageous for tourists. It's hard for me to imagine you could do much better in Paris from a value standpoint. It makes me want to plan a visit!Interesting that the taxes/fees are so low. I haven't won anything in France in awhile, but in other EU countries it seems like my priceline fees/taxes(vat) are always at least 20%. Anyone know why these fees/taxes are so modest? It makes it an even better deal than most opaque bids. Link to comment
WillTravel Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 The French tax on hotels is low - 5.5%. Link to comment
LoneStar Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Curious the hotel tax is so low in France. In a non-opaque situation, you never notice it (like with so many other purchases) because the taxes (VAT) are usually included in the price in Europe. Link to comment
