“Excellent Stay in a Fantastic Room”

This was such a wonderful experience that exceeded my stay at a 5-star hotel nearby. No, not the Ritz, but very close. It all started even before I left Los Angeles for France, when the staff, upon my request, kindly emailed me a curated list of recommendations for restaurants and bars, complete with links to each. The same person who was kind enough to take the time to do so was the one who escorted me to my third-floor room on a sunny Sunday afternoon. It was Loïc, one of the wonderful front desk staff, who took a great deal of time explaining everything in the room, including tuning the television to some favorite channels. I must first mention the incredibly roomy bathroom, nearly as large as the bedroom, with a full size bathtub, separate shower and toilet and an oversized sink. There was a separate vanity as well for cosmetic items within easy reach. Everything in the room was ergonomic and the lighting was bright, something which most hotels are sorely lacking. There was a lovely, high-quality refrigerator stocked with beverages and counter space above it for a coffee maker, ice bucket and glassware. The closets, drawers and safe were along the wall and there was a massive desk to spread out my laptop and paperwork with room to spare, which was such a treat. The bed was incredibly comfortable with an array of pillows and upholstery on some of the decorative ones matched the pattern of the curtains of the two windows, one of which led out to a charming terrace with a sweet view of the quiet street below. Despite there being some busy cafés on the street, there was no excess noise that would disturb sleep – or naps. There is an onsite restaurant serving Mexican food, and a downstairs bar, which sadly, we did not get to experience due to other commitments. But we did get down to breakfast and it was quite pleasant. One of the serving staff was kind enough tell us about a nearby park that was one of his personal favorites, a green space a bit off the beaten track. But speaking of locations, Normandy Le Chantier is walking distance to the Louvre and when you cross a bridge over the Seine, Musée d'Orsay. The hotel is part of the Machefert Group, which owns other properties in Paris, but we can’t wait to return to this one!

“Really great hotel to stay. Newly renovated and great location.”

The hotel is ideally located near the Louvre with lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. It is about a 30 min walk to NoteDame. We also did a nice morning walk to the Arc d Triopme. The check-in was smooth, and we had a family room on the 5th floor. It was a spacious room with… lisää

The hotel is ideally located near the Louvre with lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. It is about a 30 min walk to NoteDame. We also did a nice morning walk to the Arc d Triopme. The check-in was smooth, and we had a family room on the 5th floor. It was a spacious room with modern amenities and lots of electric outlets and charging USB ports. I loved the bathroom, and the soaps and bathwash were really good quality. I also loved the decor. Housekeeping came every day, and staff was generally pleasant. This hotel is of great value for money.

“Lovely Hotel, Friendly staff, great location”

Fabulous hotel, when we arrived staff where so friendly and helpful, showed us our upgraded room, beautiful, clean and comfortable with fabulous bathroom. Ideal location five minutes from The Louvre and restaurants just across the road. Loved it.

“Lovely French Hotel”

We stayed for several nights in the Junior Suite. The room was big enough for a family of four. The room was very comfortable although the only thing missing was a kettle to make my own hot drinks. The hotel staff were very friendly and spoke English that was very helpful. The hotel was undergoing renovation when we went but we didn't notice the noise while we were there. Breakfast was included with our room and had continental and English food. This was very nice but this didn't change from day to day so it can get boring if we were here for more than a few days. It is also very close to several restaurants, the Metro and the Louvre.
