Hôtel De Varenne

Love the courtyard as you first enter into the hotel area. A short few steps and you’re at the center of the courtyard, across from the entrance to the front desk; feels like your own secluded escape. Location is central between Tour Eiffel and Notre Dame. Great cafes around the area and quick walks to amazing restaurants.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very charming and very Parisian. It would have looked a lot cleaner with some fresh paint.

Maybe most important: The property is a central location. The negs: -No water pressure in the shower. -The buffet tables are not old traditional or very french feeling; A table cloth and better flatware would go a long way for making the plain buffet feel more inviting and cute quaint. -They allow smoking in the courtyard so eating outside is not an option for a non smoker. -Carpet flooring in the rooms The pos: -If the price is right for you, then it is a good find for a few+ nights in Paris. -It is clean and cute and the rooms are average or slightly larger size. -The staff are warm; some are friendly, and some are polite; A list of good local brasserie's, restaurants, and evening lounges on a small pocket sized simplified walking map would be a great item for guests upon check in. -Great location, central to many top tourist sights and a few good neighborhoods, as well as evening lounges, brasseries, and just night time strolls.

I could not recommend highly enough this lovely small boutique hotel for its service, friendly staff and location. The continental breakfast was fresh and tasty. I would definitely come here again.
