Hotel du Louvre

Great hotel in a great location

My husband stayed here for a few nights while in Paris on our way to a wedding in the south of France and couldn't have been happier with our choice! It was because of all the great reviews of this hotel that we decided to book, and we were pleased with the location of the hotel in relation to sightseeing attractions, restaurants nearby, etc. We ate at restaurants that the concierge recommended, and were very happy with all of those recommendations. The staff at the hotel was very helpful and the hotel room was clean and comfy (small bed room by US standards, but you are in Europe!) We did have an actual king bed, not one made by pushing two twin beds together, which was nice. The bathroom was a lot larger than I am used to seeing in European hotels. Overall- great hotel that we would definitely stay at again in the future!

Service not so great and bad AC

Originally chose this hotel for room size, location, and price, but upon arrival and sightseeing, we realized that location is only so so. What I mean is that if you stay here you are near the Louvre and Notre Dame, but far from the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triumph. Likewise if you stay near the Eiffel, you are far from the Louvre, so nothing is really central in Paris. The size was nice for Paris, but the AC was poor and I was constantly hot, so in retrospect I'd prefer a small room with properly working AC. We realized the price is pretty average after meeting and talking to other visitors whose rooms were in better locations and more luxurious for the same price. The most obnoxious part was that we got the distinct feeling we were being made fun of by some of the staff. There were chuckles and the word Americans overheard many times. We did nothing to provoke this from the staff as we are world travelers who do our best to represent our country in a positive light. I feel that the staff perpetuated the stereotype of the rude Frenchman who hates Americans!

very nice

Really friendly staff, nice big room, perfect location. If the Charles De Gaulle airport staff was one tenth as nice, we'd go to Paris more often.

Outstanding Hotel

Very comfortable and well done while maintaining a sense of history. Staff is excellent - have not found better. Gave us great advice in all arenas.

Oustanding Hotel

This is a "Great Hotel". Right in front of the "Louvre", could not be better place. Staff was very nice, helpuful, attentive. I am a regular in Paris, and even if there are other great hotels, i would definetly recomended.

Perfect

It isn't 5 star - it doesn't claim to be - it is EVERYTHING I wanted for the price, rating and location.

Internet access was poor or non existent. Think hard about staying here if you need to conduct any business over the Web.

All of the concierges and front desk staff spoke English and French; a big help.

Tremendous experience!

What a great hotel! The location was unbelievable... so close to the Louvre, you could hit it with a rock. The staff was great, anticipating our needs and meeting them. The room was nice sized with a separate sitting area... the only negative was that the toilet was not in the bathroom, but in a separate room away from the bathroom. That was a minor inconvenience and did not affect our stay at all. I will stay there again.
