1st - Louvre - Chatelet hotels & places to stay

the hotel is located about 5mins walk from chatelet metro station and about 15-20 mins walk to notradamme catheral. there are plently of restaurant, cafe and shopping outlet around the hotel. the room is very cosy and nice. the management even prepared a new year card and fouchon chocolate in our room. unforgettable experience. will definitely stay at this hotel again the next time i am in paris.

The Tonic Hôtel du Louvre is ideally situated for access to either the Louvre neighborhood or the museums and universities of the Left Bank. The staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating. The building is a little older and it shows in the amenities, but the place has been well cared for and is clean so it's a great value for the price. I would definitely stay here again.

Pros: - close proximity to metro & RER to airport - supermarket beside - lots of eatery one street away - buses across the street can bring you to anywhere from louvre (walkable) to effiel! - clean and comfortable stay Cons: - night time there are people lingering at the lanes drinking (nothing to do with hotel) - Need to get hot water from front desk (staff is very helpful!)

Five miniute distance to Louvre museum the center of Paris on foot. 루브르박물관 걸어서 5분 거리라서 파리 주요 관광지 백화점 관광에 최적의 위치입니다. Very clean room and bathroom and comportable beds. 아주 깨끗하게 관리되고 있습니다. No refregirator but no ploblem cause of nearby small markets and bakeries. 바로 근처에 슈퍼와 빵집이 있어서 냉장고가 없어도 불편하지 않았습니다. Also many Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese restaurants are very close within about 300 meters. 근처에 한국 식당을 세 곳 봤습니다.

I stayed at Timhotel Le Louvre for 4 nights in November 2009 and enjoyed my stay here very much. First of all, the location is great. This hotel is in the heart of Paris (fewer than 50 steps from the Louvre Museum). I could walk to almost every attraction in Paris from this hotel which saved my money. If you're lazy to walk, you can just take metro to everywhere you want. The nearest metro station is Royal Palais Musee du Louvre, right in front of an entrance of the Louvre. From there, you can get on the yellow line (main line). This hotel is also within walking distance from Chatelet Les Halles, a metro junction where you can get on several metro lines. The hotel room which I stayed (single bed) on the fourth floor is small but cozy. It's facing a small garden. It's equipped with an airconditioner and a heater. There is a coffee and tea corner in the room, too. A free bottle of water is also available for the first night. The continental breakfast which was inclusive for my stay was adequate and tasty. I had brunch every day and had enough energy to walk around Paris with no need to have lunch! It helped save my money as well. The service was excellent. Hotel staff were so helpful. They helped me to confirm shuttle bus services and print out boarding passes free of charge. One of the best things about this hotel is free wifi around the clock. I was much impressed after having to pay much for wifi during my recent visit to New York City. This service helped connect me with my friends in Thailand and Paris and allowed me to check in for my flights early enough that I got the front row on every flight which was great. In all, I highly recommend Timhotel Le Louvre and will use its service again and again whenever I return to the City of Light.

This hotel did not disappoint us. Great location for touring the Louvre as it is just a couple blocks away. Also there is a beautiful park a couple blocks away. Close to the Seine River and we walked to the Eiffel Tower from this location also. Great shopping and plenty of restaurants are nearby. The room was quite large, clean and quiet for being room #1 just off the lobby. Breakfast was good also as was the staff. Would stay again if in Paris in the future.

I was just wanting a room for the night as I was visiting family nearby and had just arrived in Paris after a long-haul flight. I didn't order breakfast or ask for much, and was happy with the basic standards + the price. After reading bad reviews I was concerned, but it was fine, especially for the price in Paris. The hotel is an unrenovated small hotel in a great area behind the Louvre, not far from the Pompidou. It's narrow with around 2-3 rooms per floor, very steep, narrow stairs, shared wc per floor, and one bathroom for the whole building (I only saw 1 bathroom, although possibly there are others). The bathroom had no visible light switch and the tiny shower was up on a platform, with a blocked drain. Yuk. The manager said he'd fix it. Despite the hotel's "quirky" features, I slept really well as the bed was clean, fresh and soft. My room had beautiful double windows to the street below with its bar noises, which were no problem, as it is central Paris after all. The room also had a sink, small table and chest of drawers. The manager was very helpful, nice, and honest. There was a big lock on the door. I could hear the arrival of my neighbours as if they were in my room, but they were polite + kept quiet, so this wasn't a problem either. I like old places. A few broken features did not bother me. The stairwell was gorgeous.

Imagine staying in the home of Tolouse Lautrec the painter, just a 15 minute walk to the Louvre, another 10 to Notre Dame and a 5 minute walk to the Paris Metro? Imagine a small hotel where the staff knows you and not only caters to your every need but anticipates it. Imagine leaving the hotel after check out and they call your cab to come back for what you forgot. Imagine staying in a hotel on a quiet street just one block from a major Avenue. B-W Paris Louvre Opera is where you can live it. We stayed there 4 days and wish our agenda could permit 40 more.

The Hotel ideally located near the famous Louvre, Place Vendome,prestigious shopping street of Saint-Honore and a short walk from the Champs Elysees. A great hotel find as I have traveled to Paris several times, but was surprised as to the friendliness of the staff, I found it rather more spacious compared to other hotels I have booked in the same price range and a great area to find places to eat and drink (for all budgets),I definitely recommend it !

Proximity to landmarks Louvre, Palais Royal, Les Halles, Rue Saint Honore Shopping, Place Vendome, Palais Garnier, Galleries LaFayette... also in close proximity to a lot of restaurants and convenience stores.. it was really east to get around... rooms are spacious, friendly staff, the interior of the hotel has a special charm, the room given to me has a very nice view of the opposite building... I was worried because of some negative reviews, but when I got there and saw my room... I was completely blown away... it was clean(sheets, toilet, balcony)... I will stay here again on my next visit... the front staff were all friendly.. from my check in until my check out... it was just a great experience... (the balcony, the staff and the free toiletries are the best) Thank you so much! Merci!

Loved that it is walking distance to the Louvre, to nice shops and restaurants and the Big Bus Tour stop!!! Not a very busy area and each room is unique- like a boutique hotel. Room maybe small BUT that is like most European rooms, and worked best for us since we are just there to sleep. We were out most of our waking hours! Staff were all friendly , can speak English and answered a lot of our "touristy" questions. Stayed with them for 4 nights with a break in between!

We booked a deluxe room & a superior room for our 4d3n stay. The deluxe room is quite narrow for tall people as it is at the top floor with slanted roof that occupied some of the space in the room. The superior room is very nice! There are spaces for us to put 2 large open luggages. Everything was very clean and new. The location is exceptionally convenient as it is just right in front of Chatelet Les Halles station (inside of forum les halles). And able to walked to Louvre museums, Centre Georges Pompidou, Picasso museum and Museum of Jewish Art and History Paris. We also booked L'Opentour hop-on-hop-off bus and we walked to Louvre museum bus stop as the route is easy to remember and near to the hotel. Staffs were nice too :) They answered my questions in email very efficiently with english. The front desk staffs are friendly and able to communicate in English too which makes everything easier.

The people at the reception area are one of the greatest assets of this hotel. Kind enough to assist, suggest and very accommodating. It more than makes up for the slightly old bed covers and curtains. Bathrooms are newly renovated. And the location is totally the most convenient for people travelling with small kids. Surrounded by very good places to eat. Rue honore where all the shopping places are is just a street behind, 2-3 streets further is the Jardin de Tuileries which at one end is the Louvre. Metro is also near. Tourism office also a street away. We are more than happy to have stayed in this hotel. Room sizes, hallways and lift is smaller than usual but probably expected as seen in most hotels in this category around Paris.

We stayed for 2 nights. Location: It is in a very lively location with lots of great restaurants all around and very near by and close to the shopping area. It is also a 20minute walk to the Louvre which was convenient. It is close to a Metro station too incase you do not like walking. Wifi: worked fine in the room! No trouble. Breakfast is available but we did not order it as you have to order it the night before and our schedule was undetermined. Services: The hotel was clean, and staff was kind and helpful. Unfortunately you can not book tickets or tours from the hotel but you can go to other hotels to buy advance tickets such as to the louvre (and make use of there services) so it was good enough. Rooms: Very small but kept clean and had a cute French balcony. There is an elevator from the 1st floor though you have to walk up one flight of stairs to get to check in desk. Overall, the hotel was cute and it's a great price for a good location!

The boutique hotel is close to metro (pyramides) and 5 mins to the louvre! It is also amidst shops, restaurants and a small convenience store for general groceries just round the corner. The hotel may not be very visible, that's why we feel it is a hidden gem in that area. The lobby is small but tastefully decorated. We felt welcomed. Check in was fast, the lady was friendly and helpful to recommend restaurants n places to go. We had the 'grand palais' room, which was big, clean, new and contemporary. We love the room very much, which comes with 2 separate bathrooms (standing stall n bath tub) and a separate living area. We felt the bed to be alittle soft. The room is well-lit, by day n night. Nice complimentary toiletries. Only a bottle of water provided for our 3 nights. Luckily it was easy to buy bottles of water from shop nearby. We felt very at home in this hotel. The breakfast area is cosy with decent spread of bread, ham, cheese and drinks. The madam at the breakfast place is very friendly and attentive. Her service, her friendliness and her smiles is worth commending. She is the best person we have met (for our trip). Oh yes, there is a nice sweet little reading area too, just above the reception with coffee machine, nice sofa and books n magazines.

Location is this hotels biggest asset. It is only a five minute walk to the Louvre and less then 10 to the metro, Place del a Concourse and the start of the Champs. The room itself is not overly big but is comfortable. The room has 2 large opening windows which is lovely to let fresh air in during the day and early evening however as there is another hotel across the road and a bar on the corner it can get a little loud at night. Fortunately the windows are well sealed and the room is air conditioned so the noise isn't a major issue. Breakfast is very nice and the staff speak English well so there was never an issue with communication. The lift is rather small so if you have a bit of luggage you will need to do it in a couple of trips. The common areas are nicely appointed and there is a lovely old world vibe about the place. Our bathroom was a little tired with a bit of paint lifting here and there but this is nitpicking and did not detract from the overall experience. Not the cheapest hotel out there but it's location more than makes up for this as your commuting times are greatly reduced meaning you can cram more things in without losing a huge amount of time commuting. Highly recommended.

My husband, mother, and almost 2 year old recently stayed at this hotel and loved it. The staff were so attentive during our stay. On our last day, while waiting for the taxi to pick us up, the staff made sure to have warm milk for my son's bottle and made us delicious coffee. I'm not sure if all of the rooms are two stories but ours was, so that made it a little nerve wrecking having an active toddler in the room. If you do have a young child who loves to climb everything like mine does, this place might not be the right one for you. :) The location is perfect, only a few blocks from the Louvre and many restaurants in the area to choose from. We'd definitely stay again.

One of the best rooms we stayed in Europe. Very large and tidy and super fast wifi internet we've experienced anywhere in Europe. The staff are attentive and very helpful. The location of the hotel is a stone throw away from the metro and shops and virtually 3 minutes from the Louvre, so it is nice and easy to just jump on the metro to get anywhere. There are also shopping nearby on Rue Riviole if you are that way inclined. Highly recommend this modern and clean hotel. Only con about it is the sound proof for the rooms aren't as good as you would expect for such a lovely hotel

We stumbled upon this hotel on Agoda, it does not have any review but as the pictures shown here looks really good, we decided to take our chance and we found a gem in the centre of Paris! Little did we know that this hotel has only been opened for a week. It has not even had their opening ceremony yet. The perk of this is of course that everything is brand new. Check-in time is 4pm but we arrived at the hotel at 11am after a tiring flight with our luggages. The staff at the counter was very understanding and helpful, and immediately arranged with the house-keeping to get a room ready for us. We were very grateful as this made our day by allowing us to bathe, get a clean change of clothes and freshen up before we go sightseeing. Situated in 01, it is well situated between 2 metro stations (Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre and Châtelet – Les Halles ), just steps away from Musée du Louvre and Centre Pompidou. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and shopping in both areas. Also, Rue Saint Honore (Colette) is just round the corner. Many cafes and restaurants just down the street as well. The hotel is conceptualised by renowned french designer Ora-Ito. The aesthetics of every fixture and minute detail is being looked into. Was impressed by the choice of material for the sink, shower, light switch, bathroom amenity bottles and the gradated glass panels for shower area. The bed and duvet was very comfortable. We had our best sleep here for our 14 days trip. A perfect ending to our honeymoon.

The hotel is situated near to Chatelet-Les Halles train station. Depending on which exit that you choose, it can be 5- 20 minutes walk from the train station exit till the hotel. Chatelet-Les Halles is an important train cross section with many metro link cross here. CDG and ORLY airport both have train link to this station. If you would like to walk, Louvre, Notre Dame is well within 2-3km distance from the hotel. The bed room is considerably large compare to my other hotel stay for this Europe trip. The shower have adequate hot water and won't stop in the middle of the shower like some hotel. It also have a Japanese toilet. The kind that have heater on where you sit. I bring along a few power plug with USB port but the hotel is very thoughtful to provide the USB port on the wall at near the table and beside the bed. Facilities is the only bad point for this hotel. There isn't any gym, swimming pool available. And the TV lack of the usual English Channel such as ESPN, HBO.

I chose the Hotel de la Place du Louvre for its location as I was planning to spend as much time as possible at the Louvre in the 2 days I had in Paris this time. It is so close to the Louvre that I could see it less than 100m away through my 3rd floor window. I found the staff very helpful at all times, and willing to check things for you online (though there is free wifi which is great). I did not get a chance to eat at their Cave Du Mousquetiare, which is a basement breakfast spot but I did look in and it seemed very cosy. In addition to its proximity to the Louvre, it is very close to 2 Metro stations and very easy to get to the airport from using the underground which was useful for me. I also managed to spend a day walking to several other museums and galleries including the Musee D'Orsay and others in Le Marais and I found it a great spot to be located in for all of that. I would recommend the hotel to anyone looking to explore central Paris. While I found it a bit expensive as I was travelling from Thailand, I believe the price is reasonable enough for this location.

PROS: literally walking distance to RER/M train stations, to Louvre, Seine River, Notre Dame. Cannot ask for a better location; many restaurants on the street; the street where the hotel is pin is a walking street, so no cars/quiet at night; hotel itself is new and furnitures are chic and modern; very comfy big bed; great shower; staff are very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Con: room is small, but this is typically Paris. But we got a room with a veranda, where we have our morning coffee and wine, so we can't really complain much about the size of our room :)
