We stayed at this hotel in July 2002. The room was a triple room, top floor of the hotel, with French doors that opened to a narrow balcony. There was a 2 door entry, first door to a small foyer (where we stowed luggage) and the second into the room. The furnishings appeared to be painted antiques, with a double bed and a rollaway. There was plenty of storage space in the room for clothing.
While the location was terrific for sightseeing, the rooms were in desparate need of renovating. Examples include badly peeling paint on the French doors to the balcony, the bathroom door had been painted over so many times it would not close, the bedding was threadbare, the air conditioning didn't cool the room. The bathroom had been renovated, and was very large with a step in shower/tub combo, double sinks, toilet and bidet. As usual in Europe, you'll want to ask for extra towels and handclothes, but toiletries were plentiful.
Access to the Touleries and the Louvre were within a block. I booked a special rate through Expedia of $222 USD per night, which included a 50% discount on breakfast. I've checked rates recently and find them upward of $400 USD for the same room, and would not pay this for what I had then, whether the budget allowed it or not.
The hotel staff were pleasant, and the morning breakfast was varied, plentiful and satisfying.
The Normandy is an old hotel, renovated throughout the years. The hotel has good "bones", but was in need of renovating when we stayed. Perhaps this has happened since then, but before booking I would enquire and also check recent reviews. It is very closely located to most of the major attractions in Paris, and the restaurant in the hotel is nice with good food and service.
The rooms shown in the website appear to be newly renovated, however, business will always show the best in advertisement. Best do some research and get personal opinions from those who have stayed there recently.

Do not waste your money if you are an American of darker skin. I was put in a part of the hotel that must have been condemmed. The door looked like the police kicked it in.
