Hotel Eiffel Rive Gauche

Great location, so-so hotel

The hotel's location was great: very a couple of blocks from the metro and a five-minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. However, it was a little hard to find at first because it's hidden away in the middle of a random side street. There was also nice little pizzeria with great food around the block as well as some grocery stores down by the metro. The hotel itself, however, wasn't as great. The lobby was clean, and though the rooms were clean also, they weren't very nice. If you're picky about how good your room looks, then this isn't the place for you. Out of the two receptionists that we encountered, the girl was very nice, polite and helpful; the man was quite the opposite. The only reasons I'd consider staying there again were for the price we got the room for and it's very close proximity to the metro and the Eiffel Tower.

If you want to see Paris....

The location is outstanding! The street is very quiet but you are within reach of everything, either on foot or by Metro. The hotel staff is helpful and friendly. The rooms are very small and the closet and elevator smelled a bit damp, at times, but who goes to Paris to spend time in the elevator?

an ok place to stay

A view of the Eiffel tower from your room if you're lucky. I would have preferred to stay closer to Notre Dame, but this location was fine too. About a 10 minute walk to a metro station. My room was so small it was laughable. (If I lied on the bed and stretched out my arms, my fingertips could almost touch both walls) The hotel staff was ok, friendly enough, but certainly not a warm and fuzzy experience. All in all, an ok place to stay. Paris is so beautiful, you shouldn't be spending too much time at the hotel anyway.

Great Hotel in the Left Bank

This is a really cute hotel --- very common for Europe. Sure it's got a tiny elevator and a steep winding staircase that lead up to the tiny rooms, but mind was clean, orderly and well laid out for such a small space. The best part was I could look out the window and see the Eiffel Tower --- not bad at all. The staff was friendly, helpful and spoke passable English. And the surrounding neighborhood is fantastic, full of sidewalk cafes, bistros and small grocery stores. The only problem I ran into is I had a early morning flight and I barely made it to Charles DeGaulle Airport to catch my 7:20 a.m. flight. That's because I opted to take a train (count on it taking at least an hour by train) instead of paying through the nose to take a taxi. Keep that in mind if you have an early morning flight and you'll be fine.

Great room for the money

We loved the night we spent here because of the location (right by the Eiffel Tower) and the comfort. The shower didn't leave much elbow room, but the beds were comfortable and the street was quiet. And they had free wireless internet access which seems to be hard to find in France.

Nice hotel

The location was great, under 10 minutes away from the Eiffel Tower. The front desk was very helpful and they spoke great English. The bathroom was clean, as well as the room. The only 2 down items was the mattress was a little saggy and some of the wall paper on the walls were peeling off a little, but the hotel is under renovation now so those items may be resolved soon.

Unbeatable value

This was an excellent hotel and I the time I spent there was excellent. The main reason for this hotel's excellence is its unbeatable location. The Eiffel Tower is at most a 10 minute walk away, and the nearest metro stop is 5 minutes away, affording easy access to the rest of the city. It is located in a great neighborhood, with plenty of restaurants and stores in the immediate area, and is located on a small and quiet side street. The hotel it self is also very nice. The rooms are arranged around a small and covered central atrium, with somewhat small bridges and ledges giving access to the rooms on the far side. The rooms themselves are small, and mine only had one power outlet, but they are very comfortable. The continental breakfast is a bit pricey at 12 euros, but it is delicious, all you can eat, and opens at 7AM, perfect for the jet-lagged traveler. There is also free wifi for guests that bring their own computers, although you must ask for login slips from the front desk that are good for 4 hours each. The staff is very nice and all of them speak excellent English. Combine this with a low price, and you have a recipe for a great stay, at a superb hotel.

Quaint Hotel

Hotel Eiffel Rive Gauche is just a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower, and a few blocks from the Metro stop in the other direction. Located near great bakeries, cafes, and restaurants. Rooms were small, but clean and efficient. Bathroom shower is tiny by American Standards. Hotel staff spoke English and gave directions and suggestions. Would definitely choose this hotel again for a return visit.

Great Room for the Money

My daughter and I spent four nights at this hotel and enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. When we arrived exhausted from our travel and our room was not quite ready, we were served a complimentary breakfast (which is not usually included in your stay without pay). Our luggage did not arrive with us, so the hotel received and stored it for us the next day while we were sightseeing. Our room was quite small but very clean. It was just fine for sleeping and showering, as most of our time was spent on the go. This hotel is on a quiet back street near the Eiffel Tower. We always felt safe, however. We would stay there again.
