Hotel Louvre Bons Enfants

The location (right in the center of town, close to the Seine). Everything you need is present and relatively clean. There was a complimentary bottle of wine in the room. Staff is friendly and helpfull.

This was the smallest hotel room I ever saw. They crammed as many rooms in the hotel as is possible. The corridors are claustrophobic and the ceiling is incredibly low: just 5cm above the top of the door. Standing up in the bath to take a shower there was just two fingers width between the top of my head and the ceiling (I am 1m82). Everything is as small as it can possibly be, leaving the impression that you're in room for midgets instead of humans. The bed was not long enough - my feet were sticking out from above the ankles - not wide enough, and very stiff (worst night ever). The only thing that makes this a "charming" hotel (as the ad says) are the woodcarvings on the bedtables. 2/3 of the price is for the location of the hotel.

The location is excellent and Room 100 was a really good size and well appointed.

We made a booking for a non-smoking room and were given a room which smelt really badly of smoke and had an ashtray and burn marks on the furniture. The front desk staff finally agreed to move us (on first trying to tell them, they said it wasn't their fault and there was nothing they could do), but we had to move rooms twice during our stay. For the price of the hotel, service and rooms were poor.
