Hotel Observatoire Luxembourg

The hotel was perfectly fine for a short stay, well maintained and in a good location, close to Jardin du Luxembourg and the Panthéon. The standard room is really small, but that’s fairly typical for Paris. If you’re travelling with large suitcases, I’d recommend choosing a bigger room.

we had three rooms. Two on 1st floor and one on 5th. They were spotlessly clean, Comfy bed. A little small but thats Paris for you. Windows overlooked the street or a garden at the back. Two of the showers were excellent. The reception and bar area was a lovely place to relax and people watch. The staff were excellent. I would stay again.

I expected the hotel to overlook the Luxembourg Park but it's a street back from it so not directly overlooking it. The shower in one of the rooms was very weak. The bar could have opened later at night.

Location

Nothing

Hotel is small inner city hotel. For Paris, spacious room and bathroom. Location near Parc Luxembourg was nice, but at night the area is dull and a bit desolate.

Breakfast was average. Staff were generally slow even when it wasn't that busy. Big variation in service depending on who was on schedule, so it felt unfamiliar each day. Same order for coffee varied considerably every day. I stayed a week so I got to know the place. Scrambled eggs were sloppy and cold. Very little fruit and salad minimal. They did however kindly make me fried eggs upon request, which were good. When returning back around 11.00 a.m. everything closed including the bar/kitchen area, so it felt very desolate.
