Hotel Louison

Oh, this is Paris! The real, immersive, historic, elegant, character-full Paris that we love! We stayed for two nights with an onward journey, by train, from Gare Montparnasse scheduled on the third day. The proximity to the station is a real bonus; but being on a side street affords an air of calm to the hotel environs. The architecture is elegant*. The room was well furnished and comfortable with a stylish blend of authentic vintage and contemporary fitments. We were very pleased. We have both spent time, some extended over many months, in Paris before. There is something authentic and comforting about the gentle rumble of the metro - silent through most of the night - as a background to waking for a new day of adventure in this great city. We would very happily stay here again: a top recommendation. [If you prefer the predictable cuboid anonymity of international hotels - where nothing in your entire experience demarcates Paris from København from Milano - then don't stay here: leave the rooms for people whose "souls still sing"!] Staff were helpful and welcoming, with 24 hour availability. They deserve credit. [*simply take time, when ascending the stairs, to consider the carpentry involved in creating the curved wooden banister rail - that, alone, is a work of artisans]

We really liked this hotel. Small but very nice hotel, when we got our room, it seemed very small to me, and for a small extra charge, they changed us to a large luxurious room. very tasty breakfast, very good attitude of the staff, perfect cleanliness, in the evening from 6 to 8 you can always drink wine and drink coffee for free in the lounge, I will recommend this hotel to everyone and will definitely stay only here on my next trip.

The reception staff were charming and kind and very helpful. We had 2 breakdowns But after we complained Tipal took charge of the morning and compensated us with breakfast. The hotel was clean, convenient location and close to the metro, a little small room for the price, there is happy hour which is nice and a coffee machine accessible to everyone 

The staff was friendly, but not necessarily the most knowledgable about activities around town. The parlor rooms downstairs were a nice touch, and the side-street location made loading/unloading feasible in big-city Paris.

Lovely room - not too small considering most rooms in Paris can be quite small - fabulous decor throughout the hotel - very friendly staff - great location - very central for sightseeing.
