Hôtel Princesse Isabelle

Good quiet location, friendly staff, clean sheets, cozy bed, good water pressure and quick hot water, big sinks in the bathroom, box of tissues in the bathroom that helped me immensely with my contact lenses, soap near the sink and in the shower, next to shampoo, good for honest tourism

No mosquito nets, flip flops required due to cleanish floors in the room itself, no towels or toilet paper in the room when we first arrived but it was quickly solved by asking the kind staff, we were shortly locked out of the hotel at night but they let us in a few minutes after ringing the doorbell

Perfect base for my visit to Paris.

I've stayed at the Princesse Isabelle before - I go to watch the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp every October - and would do so again. It is inexpensive and well sited. The Metro to get into central Paris is a 10-minute walk away and I can get a 175 bus to the Pont de Surennes, which is near Longchamp (although the service this year was not up to its usual standard). The host is always extremely helpful and printed a document for me as well as giving advice, in the past, regarding the bus services. I will stay again.

The Princesse Isabelle is a budget hotel, so there isn't a glitzy cocktail lounge with somebody playing a grand piano. If it's luxury and opulence you are after, best to look elsewhere. That said, the hotel does the basics very well and that's why I am a returning guest.

Location is 7 min walking distance from Esplanade de Defanse metro station. Normal budget hotel. The guy at the reception is very helpful. A view to Eiffel tower from our room.

There wasn’t hand towels.
