What guests report

View

Best views from 4th-6th floor rooms with balconies overlooking Tuileries; ground and interior rooms face courtyard walls with depressing views

Bed & mattress

Generally praised as comfortable and well-made; some complaints of mattresses being too firm or sagging

Bathroom & water

Excellent water pressure and hot water; most guests praise showers; some older rooms have small bathtubs with high sides difficult for elderly to enter

Wi-Fi

Frequently unreliable and very slow; multiple guests unable to conduct video calls or stream; management blamed but issues often unresolved

Breakfast

Fresh buffet with daily croissants and café au lait is standout; industrial cheese and mediocre machine coffee are criticisms; pricey at €25-30 but worth it according to most

AC / heating

Air conditioning generally praised when working; inconsistent performance with heating and cooling running simultaneously in some rooms; some rooms have no AC or limited control

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a higher floor room to minimize subway vibrations and early morning street noise from Westin service entrance across the street

Leave your room key at the front desk when going out—security feature prevents loss and is never inconvenient due to always-staffed desk

Book a Superior or Deluxe room with balcony for superior comfort; avoid interior courtyard rooms which have depressing wall-facing views
