This is a charming hotel full of character and renovated beautifully. The bed and pillows were so incredibly comfortable and the sheets were divine - I slept well every night.
Breakfast was always delicious with an assortment of meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, croissants, breads, yogurt, juices and coffee - make your own cappuccino, latte or americano (Canadiano in my case) and the staff was so pleasant and accommodating despite being very busy.
Location of the hotel is the south east corner of the ring road that surrounds the city of Paris and is right by Bois De Vincennes park which, was perfect for morning runs around Lac Daumesnil and area. The park is also home to the aquarium where, an albino alligator lives and the zoo. Lots to do within meters of the front door!
Accessibility to other areas of Paris was never an issue, as the entrance to the metro was just outside the front door and 20 steps away. It was my first time to Paris and navigating the metro was easy. :)
Front desk staff were very friendly, spoke both English and French ( some even spoke Spanish) and were more than happy to give directions or suggest places and even printed off tickets to a couple museums that I forwarded from my email. Christina was very prompt with her responses and even managed to find room for me when, the hotel was fully booked on one of my days. Thank you again Christina! I truly appreciate all your assistance.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend staying at Hotel De La Porte Dorée! I will definitely be back!
