I was in Paris for three nights in July 2011. I stayed at the Hotel Muguet. They did something for me right away that showed a nice touch. I am a large man, and I had a very large suitcase with a carry-on with me. I had rented a small room because I wanted to save money, but when I came in they simply offered to upgrade my room to the largest they had for very little more money per night. I stayed one night in the small room, and then two nights in the largest room when it opened up. The difference in cost was minimal - they discounted the big room for me. The bathrooms in the small rooms are very small. They are uncomfortable for large people. In contrast, the room and bathroom in the big rooms are very large. In the big room, there was a large, deep bathtub that was great for soaking. After long walks in Paris, to soak in a hot tub up to the neck was a wonderful feature. Also, the rooms are very clean, and have a nice modern look. They feature AC and cable TV. There are some English channels and American CNN on the cable. You have a lot of privacy in the hotel - there doesn't seem to be much noise that travels through the hotel, and since the hotel is on a side street and not one of the main avenues, street noise is hardly there. Another great feature was the breakfast. It was a cross between a continental and a cooked breakfast. It was "Parisian." There were lots of French breads and pastries and croissants, and fruit, hot and cold cereals, breakfast meats, cheeses, and boiled eggs. But here is where the cooked part comes in - they will make an omlette to your order if you so choose. The furnishings are modern and not overly fancy at the hotel, but I like modern sometimes. Another nice touch - I speak English and not French, and though I picked some French up and tried speaking some French phrases, the staff was patient with my French and would help me with it if I had a quick question. The hotel is right downtown in the Eiffel Tower district. You can walk to the Eiffel Tower in 5 minutes, and Napoleon's tomb with the military museum and veterans hotel (Palace d' Invalades) are one block away. There are two metros one block away, which take you all over the city to the major attractions. There are tons of nice cafes right around the hotel, and a special treat is a small neighborhood called the Rue Cler that is right around the corner. It features a blocked off street with shops and cafes. There is a pharmacy and grocery store about 1/2 a block away. Overall B+.
Room Tip: Go for the large or medium-sized rooms. The small rooms are very small. Nice AC in them.
