Brebant Hotel

I recently took a group of 84 participants to Paris and we stayed at the Brebant Hotel. We were greeted by hotel staff who were professional, competent, and polite. All our rooms were ready and waiting for us. We had absolutely no problems. Our rooms were small, but very clean and the bathrooms were very modern. My room overlooked the street, which I enjoyed very much. Daily breakfast, was buffet style, and very good. The Metro stop is exactly outside the front door...what could be better? This hotel is located in a neighborhood that has many cafes, stores, and other shops. The area is very interesting and safe for taking walks. In fact, the Opera National de Paris Garnier and the Galeries Lafayette are but a five minute walk from the hotel. I am taking another group to Paris and Rome this November (2007) and I hope to stay there again.

Unique Quality: Cleanliness, courteous employees, professional demeanor. This is a great hotel for the price.

Directions: Opera District, Central City.

I stayed 6 nights at the Brebont Hotel (Sept.14,2006 to Sept. 20, 2006)
The hotel is well located on Blvd. Poissonniere (Blvd. Haussmann) about 5 min. walk from the Opera Garnier, about 10-15 min. walk from the Louvre and with the metro stop Grands Boulevard (lines 8+9) right outside the door.
The staff was always helpful and friendly.
There are 2 elevators for guest use and both are entirely adequate for people with suitcases. My brother and I stood in one elevator, with his suitcase and my large backpack on my back with no problems at all.
The hallways do have a slightly slanted feeling to them but keep in mind that this is an older building. They don't squeak or creak and all of the carpeting is in good condition throughout the hotel.
The room we had (#385) was a 3 person with shower/bath, toilette ensuite. Also in the room was an air-conditioning unit on the wall, a telephone, writing desk, 3 chairs, a large closet with 2 large mirrors, a tv and mini-bar. The only complaint I could say I have about the hotel room was the hard pillows.
The breakfast was included in our price (it's otherwise 8 Euros). The selection (3 cereals, yogurt, cold milk, coffee, hot chocolate, and 3 types of rolls) was good and constantly being restocked.
All in all, the Brebont is a very good place to stay if you go to Paris. The location is outstanding with a metro outside the door, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are friendly.
