What guests report

View

Balcony rooms and suites with genuine Eiffel Tower views are available at premium prices; standard rooms overlook courtyard or street; avoid lower floors for noise concerns

Bed & mattress

Described as luxurious and exceptionally comfortable with high-quality bedding, though some guests note mattresses feel firmer than expected

Bathroom & water

Elegant white Carrara marble bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, luxurious tubs, double sinks carved from single marble blocks, and Hermès luxury toiletries; water pressure varies by floor

Wi-Fi

Highly problematic with severe connectivity issues on certain floors (3rd and 7th reportedly have speeds below 1Mbps), making it unsuitable for work; slow portal loading and frequent disconnections

Breakfast

Excellent quality with fresh pastries, comprehensive buffet options, made-to-order items, extensive selection, and outdoor seating overlooking Parisian streets

AC / heating

Unreliable with multiple reports of complete air conditioning failure in hot weather, rooms becoming uncomfortably warm, and slow maintenance response times

Elevator

Tiny and slow elevators that guests describe as narrow and confusing to locate

Local knowledge

Request a room on higher floors away from the metro line (lower floors 2-3 experience significant subway vibrations every 2 minutes)

Book the Suite Amour or rooms with Eiffel Tower views on upper floors for the best views, but expect these to be smaller rooms

Ask for a balcony room at booking; standard rooms are described as quite small even for a luxury Paris hotel
