Hotel Eiffel Rive Gauche
by virtualpatrick
A clean, basic 2 star hotel with bathroom en suite and stand-up shower. Windows open up with a view of the narrow quiet street. 35 rooms and is mentioned in Rick Steve's books on Paris. Buffet breakfast optional. Pay for internet access through computer in lobby area.
Most of all I love this location due to it's proximity to the fresh markets on Rue Cler. I love strolling around the area early morning as Parisians prepare for their day - watering of the streets, fresh bread, smell of fresh fruits...
The hotel has a warm cosy feel. The rooms are clean and fresh. Bathrooms modern and clean. Ask for a room higher up to get a view over the roofs. The location is great because you feel like a real Parisian stay here. It's a residential neighborhood, but still in the heart of Paris.
Breakfast consists of fruit, choice of cereal, pane, and coffee/tea. The price is steep 9 Euro. You can get a cheaper breakfast at one of the restaurants on the street. Just look at the chalk boards of the neighboring restaurants for their breakfast special.
The price is slightly less them most in Paris. Prices vary in seasons.
And the best thing of all is every night you return to your hotel you see the Eiffel Tower!
