An excellent location – within walking distance of many sights and with easy transport links to others. Quite a smart area of Paris – lots of posh shops around (although their potential patrons would probably stay in swankier hotels) – something reflected in the price? Plenty of restaurants in the area, although they did seem to cater largely to the tourist trade. I had a somewhat poky room near the top of the building (the fifth floor) – sadly, often the fate of the solo traveller. Having said that, it was perfectly serviceable, given that I was out and about most of the time. I was somewhat worried by the fact that there was a single lift with an advertised capacity of two people, but, in practice, that was never a problem. Breakfast was available, subject to confirming the previous evening. A set (i.e. non-buffet) continental breakfast, which I found more than adequate, and probably a good option given the locality. The hotel is idiosyncratically decorated (is this what makes a hotel ‘boutique’?), with each floor themed round a different continent. Much of the decoration is derived from historical illustrations and not all of it (e.g. the murals in my Africa-themed room) would really pass a wokeness test. A major plus point was that all the staff (on reception, in the breakfast room, etc) were exemplary – friendly, helpful and efficient. A nice touch was a pre-stay emailed ‘survey’ which led to useful advice re transport links, local restaurants, etc. Would I stay here again? Well, I might look into more competitively priced options, but I would certainly be tempted.

“A great place to stay in centre of Paris”

Absolutely loved this hotel. The location was perfect, close to Louvre, walking distance to Champs Elysee and Metro station. All the staff were wonderful, friendly and very helpful. Rooms were good size for the city. Very clean and serviced each day. Would highly recommend.

“Excellent Hotel and Wonderful Staff”

Wonderful hotel centrally located in Paris. Hotel staff was extremely helpful in providing information, recommendations and scheduling a taxi. Our room was very comfortable and had plenty of space (not like some of the horror stories you hear about Paris hotels). I would highly recommend this hot... more
