Hotel La Bourdonnais

I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It's location is great being close to a metro station and Eiffel Tower is within walking distance from hotel. Hotel room was bigger than expected with double bed for single person and clean. Bathroom was also good size with shower and hair dryer, though the shower did get the floor a bit wet. Would stay at this hotel […] again and would recommend it to others! Read more

Nothing flashy about this place. Feels a bit on the old side. Elevator is small, slow and really had me questioning whether it was worth it or if I should just carry all of our bags up all 4 flights of stairs! Hotel staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast buffet is small, but pretty decent for the price. Not much of a view at all unless you stick […] your head out of the window to peek at the top quarter view of the Eiffel. AC in the room kept things comfy. The really big pluses I thought: a) Room size. Two really nice sized beds in a good sized room, plenty of space for my wife, daugther and myself (note a bit on the drab side decoration wise); b) nice large clean bathroom; c) Really nice location. Stone thrown to Champ de Mars, a good number of restaurants are down the street or around the corner, and a grocery store almost right next door. If you want to focus your time on the Louvre, Orsay or Notre Dame, you might want to stay a little closer to that area of the Left Bank - it's a very healthy walk over to that area. Doable (I ran it), but long. I'd suggest a Batobus pass (water ferry) that leaves from just adjacent to the Eiffel and has stops at all of the major sites along the Seine. Only real knocks against this hotel - no microwaves in room and if you're not very spry - you might want to ask for a room on the 2nd floor, else you may find yourself climbing a lot of stairs.

This is a clean basic budget hotel in a wonderful peaceful location. Make no mistake it is a budget property, but hotels are expensive in Paris. We were satisfied and loved the great water pressure in the shower and the expeciallyconsidering spacious (for a European hotel) bathroom. We did see a cockroach one morning in the bathroom, but hey, that can […] happen anywhere and it really was sparkling clean. Read more

The front staff was very frendly and spoke very good english. They provided a baby crib at no add'l charge. WiFi did not work in our room, however they do have 2 computers in the lobby that can be used. Great location to the Eifel Tower.

Friendly English speaking staff. Several restaurants, a market and Metro all very close by. Room was small but typical of Paris. Comfortable and clean. Would stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent location - near Eiffel Tower and metro station. Very easy to get around Paris from this location. The only slightly negative aspect of the hotel is that it uses punch key cards (instead of electronic) and so, can only issue one key per room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was clean and nicer than what I expected for the price (budget) in Europe (typically small, old, and cramped). I took my American parents there to stay on their first trip to Europe and they were fine with it. The staff was very friendly and it is not far from the Eiffel Tower, but not so close that there are men selling plastic Eiffel Towers […] on a chain. Very good experience. Read more

We were traveling with our 7 and 2 year old, and wanted something that would be walking distance from the sights. This hotel was perfect. The room was surprisingly large for Paris; we had 2 queen sized beds, plenty of space, and a huge bathroom with a bath tub and a shower! The kids enjoyed a huge bubble bath every night we were there. The breakfast […] was great and very reasonably priced for what it offered: yogurt, fruit, cheeses, pastries, cereal, bacon and eggs, and the coffee machine that makes cafe creme, chocolat chaud, espresso, etc was awesome. We found the staff to be pleasant and helpful-- not overly so, but this is Paris after all! To those who haven't traveled to Paris before, you will notice a difference in the size and character of this hotel compared to a hotel in the US, but we really liked it, and would definitely stay there again!

The location is the best thing about this hotel it is super close to the Eiffel tower, close to Rue cler were you can walk and get breakfast every morning and close to the metro. The hotel is quaint and european. The room did have a refridgerator which was nice and unexpected and the staff was great.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel la Bourdonnais is an establishment with great pride. The staff is very kind. It is wonderful for families. It is located close to Ecole Militaire and the Metro, so it is quite convenient. The neighborhood is reasonably quiet, so one can get a good night's rest. I enjoyed seeing the pride with which the staff decorated the Christmas tree. It gave […] me a warm feeling. I will always have a special place in my heart for la petit Hotel la Bourdonnais. Read more

Great location with a wonderful staff. We spent little time in the hotel, but when we returned from our long days of exploring it was everything we needed. We enjoyed the breakfast. Was a great way to fuel up for the day.

Good hotel to walk to many sites or to the metro. Was disappointed that our room's AC unit was broken, but they did not have any other rooms available. They brought us a fan for the night, tried to fix it the next day, and it broke again. Luckily, the weather cooled down a lot on our second day so it wasn't an issue past day/night one.

Good choice for Familes due to location and budget. I wouldn't have their breakfast. It's an overpriced continental buffet. Should be free with room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

In a very good location with a Metro just around the corner and a grocery store almost next door. We were a short 5 minute walk to the Eiffel tower. The front staff were friendly and accomodating. The neighborhood felt very safe and we enjoyed wandering around. Also many good cafes and patisseries around. Excellent choice .

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was very close to the Eiffel Tower, which was very convenient for the evening light show. You were just a very short walk to the hotel after it ended. The neighborhood was very nice and there is a grocery store right next store. An ATM and a metro stop are around the corner, and Rue Cler is around the corner and up a block. For Paris, the […] room was large, with two double beds, two sinks, a large bathroom and a separate toilet area. The only issue was there were only two outlets, which made charging phones, etc. , difficult. The room had large windows with a balcony. We kept the windows open all night and it was awesome. The small balcony had a view of the Eiffel Tower. The hotel employees were polite and helpful. I would recommend this hotel and stay there again. Great experience. Read more

The location of this hotel was great for access to the Eiffel Tower and the Hop On-Hop Off buses. It is old but quaint and clean. The staff was very helpful. We were pleased with our 2 night stay.

The hotel is small and intimate - is within easy walking distance of the Tower, Grand Place, the Seine and many restaurants and one block to the amazing Paris Metro system. Excellent cosy moderately priced hotel.

We enjoyed our visit at this hotel. Front desk staff were very nice, helpful and professional. Breakfast was a nice, filled us for a nice beginning to a day of sightseeing. Our room had a separate bathroom from the shower/sink area so if that is an issue for you, ask about the room configuration. They are all different.They have a dispenser on the wall […] for hand soap/shower gel and shampoo. If you want conditioner, bring it.The room was clean, beds comfortable. No view if you ask for a quiet room.The location is great, close to the metro, Rue Cler with lots of nice restaurants. La Terrace restaurant was great and very close by. The grocery store next door is closed on Sunday. If you visit the Louvre, I would recommend doing the DS Masterpiece Audio Tour- it was quite enjoyable and had a GPS system so you could find your way. After the tour was over, it was overwhelming getting around trying to find art etc. with the large number of tourists. Walking up two flights of the Eiffel Tower was an incredible experience, I would recommend it. You can get a ticket for the stairs and take the elevator from there. Versailles was incredible-you have to go. The gardens were magnificent. If you want to get a weekly metro pass, bring a passport sized photo for your pass or pay 5 euros and get one on the spot at the station. We also got the 4 day museum pass and enjoyed many museums and sights. Have fun and enjoy this beautiful city!! Read more

Great location and staff very helpful with accommodating our family in a single family room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location was superb - very close to the Eiffel tower, metro station, restaurants, and shops. Beware - they do not supply washclothes and toiletries, so bring your own. The front desk folks are usually nice, but depends on who is there. They helped us with Louvre tickets, which was fabulous, and saved us time. Gave good directions to the metro, helped […] us with transportation, etc. The wifi is a joke. It never worked in the room...EVER. You can pick it up downstairs in the lobby, however, but that's not always convenient. They don't seem to know what's going on witn it, which is annoying. Read more

Good location just near to metro and 5minutes to Eiffel Tower. Front desk staff were helpfull and pleasant. Breakfast was good value at €10. Our room overlooked the street and we could see the Eiffel Tower from our window. The only thing was the lift was a little noisy in the evenings.

The hotel staff is great, the breakfast even though it's 15Euro is VERY good and has a lot of stuff. The walls are very thin though, i had very loud neighbors, but other than that the hotel is super.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Having become accustomed to the size of hotel room sizes in Europe, when compared to the N American counterparts, this hotel did little to change my expectation. I was surprised that the bathroom was large and looked new, while the room itself was small and a bit dull. The hotel is very conveniently located, less than a kilometer from Eiffel Tower. […] It was more like just 3-4 blocks, which is really great. There is also a Metro station within a couple of blocks. We arrived into Paris from Germany to the Garde Lest station in Paris, so cabbing to the hotel was 22 euros. If I were to repeat this trip, I would look for cheaper options like a local bus or train. The morning buffet is adequate if you are more focused on planning your day and getting out of the hotel. But if you want to eat well and relax, the buffet might be a bit disappointing. I did not see that many options close by, so I would just finish it here. Cost was very reasonable. Staff was friendly. The rooms are supposed to have free WiFi, but there was a technical problem during the 30 hours I stayed there. So I had to access free WiFi/internet in the lobby area which was quite convenient because I could access the internet with reasonable privacy. Read more

Nice hotel. There was an elevator which was nice. It is in a great location. Two streets over from the Eiffel Tower. The rooms are fairly large. There was a broken window in the bathroom though and therefore it was very cold, but otherwise it was clean and nice.

wonderful location but very thin walls so you will hear your neighbors if they are loud. would definitely consider staying there again.

This hotel is between The Eiffel Tower and Rue Cler, less than a half block to the Ecole Militaire Metro stop. There are two grocery stores next door, and very good restaurants nearby. The room isn't fancy, but the beds were comfortable and clean, the bathroom huge and modern. My room was on a courtyard and very quiet. My room rate did not include breakfast, […] but i could have paid 15E for breakfast at the hotel or there are many choices very nearby. There was good wifi in the room...free. Read more

This is a little gem of a hotel in a very convenient neighborhood, in the 7ieme arrondissement close to Ecole Militaire and the Tour Eiffel. It is quite close to the Ecole Militaire metro station and has cafés and brasseries close by. The staff are very efficient and pleasant and there is a delightful breakfast served in a lobby conservatory with a […] glass roof. The price of my room as very reasonable, although the room itself was tiny, on the top floor, but clean and well maintained. I'll definitely return. Read more

This was our second stay at the hotel and we would go back again. The location is excellent both for convenience and neighborhood. The Metro stop is around the corner next to a good restaurant.

Our room was larger than many Paris hotels offer and the bathroom was spacious and clean. Read more

This is a great little hotel. Friendly staff. Convenient to metro trains and attractions. A bit older, but very nice. It would not be a five star by US standards, but well maintained and very clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The best thing about this hotel is its location, about 6-7 blocks from the Eiffel Tower, with great bistros a few blocks away on Rue de Cler and Rue St Dominique. If you get a street side room you'll get a view of the tower peaking over the tops of the buildings across the street, which is spectacular. The room itself was decent enough (the bathroom […] in particular was spacious, modern, and clean). The breakfast is a tad pricy for what you get: cereal, coffee, and some pastries. Much better fare is available a few blocks away. The staff is friendly enough. Read more

The location of this hotel was terrific as it was within walking distance of many great sites. Our room was nice and comfortable, not cramped at all, with 2 beds that were nice and firm (prefer harder to softer mattresses). My mom didn't like that the toilet was separate from the rest of the bathroom but I didn't mind. The decor is definitely more old […] fashioned but reminded us of Hotel Colorado, which similarly is older but it gives the place character. The lift is tiny and so we were happy to be on the 1st floor where we could take the stairs daily. The grocery store right next door was definitely convenient as we could get drinks and little things that like easily. Like any hotel, some of the staff were exceptionally courteous and helpful, like Christian, who worked the night shift. Some, like this rather unapproachable looking man, looked bothered when I asked him to please reserve a taxi for me because the driver who had given me his info didn't speak hardly any English...I ended up having the lady who worked with him do it for me instead and it still took a little bit of asking to get it done...another red-headed lady who worked during the day on at least 2 days of our stay was also extremely helpful with getting us set up with tours, etc. The hotel breakfast offered was very reasonably priced (15 Euros) and tasty, so we took advantage of it on at least 2 occasions, esp. since it was available from 7-11am. The free computers (2) and printer in the hotel lobby were also great, hardly in use, and very convenient! Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it to other travelers in the area! Read more

This is a nice little hotel that is really convenient if you are a first-time tourist who wants to take in all the sights. As an American, I found there were minor annoyances - no alarm clock, no ice bucket, repeated attempts by housekeeping to clean the room even though I hung the "do not disturb" sign on the door - but if you can get past those little […] things, you will have an enjoyable stay. The staff were very helpful when we had questions - they helped us find an appropriate place to get a massage, they called cabs when it was raining, etc. We had the breakfast only one day, but did enjoy it. I liked this hotel, and although I was not blown away by anything about it, would recommend it in general. Read more

What a delightful location-- you can just see the top of the Eiffel Tower through the trees, and it's just a short stroll to get there. We went every evening! The hotel is right near a metro stop, which is great at the end of a leg-weary day. The cafe around the corner serves delicious coffee lait & croissants-- cute, friendly waiter, too. We didn't […] eat breakfast at La Bourdonnais, but it looked good, and other guests said good things about it. There're a couple of computers for guests to use-- use the smaller one, as the big one has a European keyboard and is difficult to use. We enjoyed the little balcony with two access doors. The weather was so nice (April 17-21) that we kept the window/doors open whenever we were in the room-- even at night. The traffic was audible, but not enough to keep us from sleep. I liked that it was a fairly quiet neighborhood. There are a couple of nice little food markets within a short walk in either direction. Only wish there's been a little fridge in the room to store drinks & yogurt. Read more

A dream location close to the Eiffel tower, in a great neighborhood. We could see half of the Tower from our balcony which made for awesome nights. the hotel is also close to many restaurants as well as a beautiful pedestrian street that doubles as a local market. We went to Paris with our 18 month old daughter and grandma, and the room we were given […] was large enough to accommodate all of us, albeit not with a lot of room left, but sufficient to sleep comfortably. I would highly recommend this hotel in a perfect location of Paris. Read more
