We stayed at the Hotel Motte Picquet for an overnight and the location right off the rue cler ensures you have everything you need at your fingertips. All the staff is warm and friendly. The lobby has several guide books and Rick Steves books all there for you to borrow. There is a computer in the lobby for hotel use as well as very strong free wi-fi in the hotel. I tested the speed and it was 16mpbs, which was good enough to stream music and videos for the kids off iTunes. We stayed in the Junior Suite and it was a good amount of room with a shower and clean bathroom. The only reason I can't give it five stars is that there were some signs of wear and tear, such as in the bathroom where a little new coat of paint could help freshen things up. However, that was such a minor thing! The breakfast was great and unlike several hotels, they did not charge us for breakfast for our kids (who barely eat anything). It was like staying in a quaint bed and breakfast and the service was warm, friendly, helpful and we felt like we were in someone's home. Loved it! Stay here for a great Parisian experience.

Very close to the metro, this hotel is also located at the head of a pedestrian-only street (Rue Cler) that has a wonderful collection of bakeries, food stores, cafes and shops. The hotel is small, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a sitting area off the lobby that has a computer for guests to use, and there is free wifi throughout the hotel. Our room was small, but charming and adequate for our needs. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel, but were pleased to learn we could use the small kitchen during the day to heat water for tea, which made us feel right at home.
We will definitely return to this hotel in the future; the friendly atmosphere and the great location are very appealing.

Location is great: a nice neighborhood and literally one minute walk from the metro (line 8, station Ecole Militaire- Metro is quite easy to navigate in, but make sure you buy tickets for your evening journeys during the day or in central stations) and 15 minutes (pleasant) walk from the Eiffel Tower.

Value is very good, if you can get a good deal: we paid early booking rate of 119 euro per night, which (I think) is really cheap considering the level of the hotel, its location and especially other hotel prices in Paris.

The room was spotless and nicely decorated, but the bed is very firm and it may affect your sleep quality. You can't call it a large room in any aspect, but it has more than enough room for you and your luggage, especially, if you, like us, prefer to be outside sightseeing (also there is plenty of hanging space and a free room safe).

Above anything else, however, is the service! Mo is such a nice and helpful person, it is really unbelievable. The whole week prior to our arrival we managed a mail correspondence because I needed to book some places to dine in and Mo was happy to assist in anything I requested. Then, when we arrived we were greeted with a big smile that lasted all through our stay and Mo was more than willing to help in any request, small or big.
Thanks a lot, Mo! You made our engagement trip even more memorable!

Unbelievably warm, friendly atmosphere. Everyone offered help, advice and service beyond expectation. Delightful neighborhood with many cafes and shops along Rue Cler, Grenelle, etc. Easy walk to the Eiffel Tower.
Example: When all I wanted was coffee and we weren't eating the breakfast that day, Mo insisted on going downstairs and making a tray of coffee for my wife and me.
Example: When we arrived, Aymerik, the owner, welcomed us and gave us our first glimpse.
Finally, for adult son and us (couple), the duplex room was a perfect find.
