“Location and Price - the best in pricey Paris...”

As a solo traveler, this was my first time to Paris. As a big city with many hotel options, my choice to stay at this hotel was a suitable one considering travel time and budget especially since I went for New Years.

I stayed in a single room. For some it would be considered very small but in my head since I’ve cruised many times, the size is comparable to a room on a cruise ship. The room was adorable and very comfortable for just me. My room was toward the back so street noise was not an issue. Sometimes I would hear the early risers (hard core tourists) in the morning but that’s my fault for snoozing in late in the morning. The bathroom was a good size but the shower was tiny.

The staff were extremely friendly. They greeted me all the time and provided great restaurant recommendations as well as helped with overall directions and city suggestions.

Location couldn’t be more ideal as least in the mindset of getting around the city – literally in the center of Montparnasse. The building was two blocks away – just look up. We all wish to be staying on the Champs Elysses (too expensive to do so) but with easy Metro access literally one block away was great. The Raspail metro has 4 & 6 lines which took me directly to the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, and more. After a while, I didn’t need my map cause it was easy to navigate throughout the city. (tip: purchase a booklet of 10 carnets and keep in pocket – makes it easy to go in and out without always being in line to buy a ticket.) Walk 10 minutes and you’ll have access to Rer B which took me directly from airport and to Gare Nord train station (for Amsterdam). If you walk up on Raspail Blvd towards the direction of the Siene, you’ll find many restaurants, St. Germaine area and a visit to the Le Grande Epicurean at Bon Marche is a must. Walk the other direction and you’ll find the entrance to the underground catacombs, Paul (bakery yum) and other good places to eat near the Defense.

Overall, this boutique hotel met my expectations, I was very pleased with my stay and I totally recommend it.

“Good location, cute and boutiquey”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

What a lovely hotel! I stayed with my other half last weekend, a total of two nights. We got a superior (larger!) room after reading other reviews on here; it was on the 2nd floor and contrary to some of the other reviews on here we didn't bother with the lift, the stairs were really not a problem even with luggage.

The room was, of course, not huge. Paris is mostly old buildings and you won't get masses of space anywhere unless you're paying hundreds of euros per night. Its best to just plan to have no space in your room, pack lightly if you can or ask the hotel to stash some of your luggage downstairs to keep it out of your way. As per some of the other reviews, my 6ft 4 200 lb boyf found the shower small. I found this tres amusing.

We had the breakfast both days, out of pure laziness and not wanting to rush around. Its 9 euros per person and bearing in mind you're pretty much going to pay 5 euros for a coffee anywhere in Paris its about the right price. You could pay more, you could pay less. It was worth it, totally French and very nice indeed.

The best two things about Le Hotel de la Paix for me were the quietness and the location. There was no noise at all, I had no trouble sleeping. This is a good thing for Paris, it can be very noisy. The location was on 2 metro lines so you could hop on outside and get anywhere very easily.

I wanted to do two things - the Grand Epicery de Bon Marche (French Whole Foods, woo!) and the Eiffel Tower. The Grand Epicery was a 15 min walk and the Eiffel Tower was 4 metro stops with no changes. You can easily walk up, through the Jardin de Luxembourg, to St Germain de Pres and all the nice places to eat and shop in that area. Around there are also some bars which show sport (this was important to my boyfriend; look for Rue Princesse near metro stop Mabillion and try Eden Park or the Frog and Princess). Both sides of the Bvd St Germain have shops, cafes, restaurants on cute little streets. This is what Paris should look like!!

Additionally the RER B train from the airport stopped at Port Royale which was a 10 min walk from the hotel, and the train journey took about 45 mins. Its much easier than driving or being driven.

I can't fault the hotel, it was clean, quiet, petite in a nice way and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend highly!
