We have stayed in this hotel twice and were very satisfied on both occasions. It is a modern facility in a good location and offers a fine breakfast. On our last visit it was filled with French families visiting Euro-Disney.

I LOVED this hotel. The location is great; we were able to walk to most of the attractions like Louvre museum. The staff was helpful and professional. The room was clean and comfortable, the bathroom very modern. The toilet was located in a separeted room than the shower and the sink, but that made it easier for me and my husband to get ready faster. Also it was in a walking distance from local bakeries were we had the most delicious breakfast ever! The local people are nice if you try to speak their language, we didn't know any France only the words listed on our travel guide, however once we tried they offered to speak English.
Yes, our first trip to Europe, I wanted to spend New Yrs Eve under the "Tower", which we did, we walked everywhere for a week despite very cold temps! I was a bit disappointed in the hotel, I know they don't really favor Americans and we tried our best. The trip was planned for a year and NO smoking rooms were requested, of course upon arrival a non-smoking room was not available. With asthma and allergies, NO smoke is a must. The rooms are not very up to date and they could use some refurbishing.
I'm used to friendly hospitality and did not find it at this establishment, live and learn. The breakfasts were terrific however.
A good 3 star hotel in the city cener within walking distance from the louvre, the opera the notre dame and the halles dpt store. Rooms are big and clean, with good bathrooms and the breakfast was good. Many restaurants near the hotel. A metro station is close to the hotel, too. But, the area is not so safe at night. The hotel is also a bit overpriced for a 3 star rating. When i stayed it had 3 stars, now it has 4. I think it is a very good 3-3.5 star hotel for Paris but not a 4 star.

Its Novotel so you know what to expect in terms of standards. Clean, comfortable, reliable, good value. I stayed there with my young son when we went to Eurodisney - just took the RER out there each day. That was better than staying "on site" with the rip off hotels and restaurants. This way you have all of Paris to choose from. Location is a big plus factor for this place. Its right by the big Chatelet - Les Halles RER & Metro station where everything seems to intersect. So you can get anywhere in Paris from here, no problems. Its also where you get RER to CDG airport, and to Orlyval for Orly. Plenty restaurants nearby, and sights as well.
