Very noisy recycling bottles early morning etc. sink blocked , no hot water just Luke warm. Although good price avoid as Paris metro is excellent and not necessary to be that close to... More

I stayed here with my fiance on an impromptu trip to France. We initially got the ferry from Dover to Calais with the idea of travelling a little south west along the coast line till we found a campsite, which we did. However after one night of substantial rain and a leaky tent we decided to venture to Paris -... More

We stayed here in October at the end of our European Vacation. We picked this place because it was the only hotel with rooms left that was recommended by Rick Steeves for the Rue Cler neighborhood. We secured a room through emailing the hotel which is interesting if your used to internet reservations. The hotels location is pretty awesome, within... More

We stayed at this hotel on our eurotrip, and as soon as we arrived we can see the amazing Eiffel tower from our bedroom window (sure we cannot see tower at your totality but, only from the middle to top, but anyway is amazing). The staff was gentile, not so talkable but helpful when estimulated. The hotel is clean, the... More

We stayed in the Kensington this past spring and were delighted with its location and friendly, helpful staff. We had a room on the top floor in back where it was wonderfully quiet. Getting into the room was interesting: after exiting the tiny elevator the door marked 61 was just to the left; going through that door you find yourself... More

We stayed here for one night. The location is amazing!! The lady who originally checked us in at 1900, was a little short in her customer service. We tried to ask questions, she was obviously annoyed with us. When we were leaving to go out for the night we found out why... she was busy watching something on YouTube. The... More

This is a little hotel recommended by Rick Steves. I was able to book a room here when no one else had vacancies. The location is great and I had a veiw of the Eiffel Tower from my window. Since I travel solo I probably wouldn't stay in the Rue Cler neighborhood again. It's kind of a residential/slow neighborhood. My... More
