I had a great 10 day stay at Hotel La Louisiane and am glad I chose this place. The location, service, convenience and rooms made this the perfect base for my Paris trip.
Location: Is perfect it is close to metros, buses and is centrally located so I saved a lot of transport money by being able to walk to most of the major attractions (Louvre, Pantheon etc). I starred all the places I wanted to go to on Google then planned it out from there. There are so many restaurants, bars and shops in the area most with outdoor seating so the atmosphere is amazing.
Service: Friendly reception staff who have a more relaxed casual vibe. It's not the style of a fancy hotel which I found refreshing. They talk like normal people and aren't in uniforms so you get to know more of the individual. I really connected with Aurelian who was on the overnight shift so when I came back late at night (often a bit drunk) it was always a great welcome sharing our ideas on philosophy, psychology and life. He is writing an interesting book at the moment about a man who doors stop working for.
Room: The room/bathroom was simple but clean and a good size. Nothing fancy but the bed is comfortable, there's a fan and I had a great sleep each night. There's a small fridge and safe in mine which was handy but no TV or other accessories which is fine as I didn't need it. It is an old hotel so has this charming rustic feel, could do with a bit of a refresh but overall clean, quaint and Parisian.
Check in/out: It's due to lockdown I guess but a 7pm check in and 10am checkout isn't the most convenient so that is something to factor in. They were flexible with my checkout as I stayed so long so thanks!
Amenities: There's a common area with a lounge, table and books. There's a few books on Paris if you need. Perfect to chill in. There's no breakfast atm due to Covid but amazing places downstairs.
Thanks!
