Bois-Herpin Holidays from AU$3,495

We stayed for one day each end of our trip. Our first room had a wonderful balcony but the room itself smelt a bit musty. Our second room was downstairs so just had a window and there was scaffolding outside the for ongoing building works, so not so nice. The shower in this room did not have a holder up high so you had to hold it in one hand whilst showering which was a pain. Overall, we felt the hotel was pretty good for the price, but if the smell in the first room and the shower in the second were fixed we would have given 5 stars. The area around the property is okay, but equally not the nicest part of Paris. That said it's very easy to get anywhere you want to go on the Metro.

The hotel is in a terrific location. It is within walking distance of the Louvre and other major attractions, literally across the street from a historic church, and has a multitude of restaurants nearby. The hotel staff is very pleasant and responsive. My room had a comfortable bed, a desk with two chairs, and a wardrobe. Unfortunately, the room was so compact that I had no room for my suitcase. Really, every cubic inch of space was accounted for. Example: To sit at the desk, I had to move one of the chairs, but then I couldn't open the wardrobe. The bathroom was functional but, again, so compact that there was no room to hang a toilet paper roll. Really, it was sitting on the shelf behind the toilet. The shower may have been built for a skinny 10-year-old; I couldn't turn around in it without pushing the shower handle to the "off" position. The walls are paper-thin; I could hear everything going on in another room, so if you have noisy neighbors who stay up late, bring earplugs. Still, for the price, the location, the staff, and the overall cleanliness and functionality made up for it.

The staff are wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. The hotel is small and very quaint, close to everything. I highly recommend a stay here.

Good hotel for the value

Excellent place to stay in Paris!
