You're paying for the location in the 16th arrondisment, which is safe and a brief walk from the Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triomphe, shops, pharmacies and dozens of restaurants. Otherwise, I'm unsure how this hotel gets four stars. |Paid $1,300 for a three-night stay in room 550. Queen bed was comfortable. |Bathtub plug leaked. When you get in it's full, five minutes later you're sitting in a puddle.|Towel warmer was broken. Washcloths are not provided, per the front desk.|Charming bistro table on balcony looked great for photos... but with onlyone chair, we took turns drinking coffee outside in the mornings. An electric kettle was much appreciated; bottled water and instant coffee were replenished daily.|Despite my terrible French, front desk employees were helpful, although with only one per shift, don't expect quick service. They were very kind about providing a bucket of ice each night.|There are small steps in the entrance and off the lobby that are not marked. You will trip unless you pay attention.|The minifridge (our welcome note said everything in it was free) kept contents barely below room temp. Wouldn't store milk or medicine in it. |The elevator is terrifying--big enough for two slim passengers and a suitcase, and that's it.|The room was cramped-- I realize European hotels are seldom as roomy as American hotels... but it was pretty tight with two adults, two suitcases and two carry-ons. |The chambermaid was so sweet, ringing the doorbell each morning and asking when she could clean the room. We tipped her well.|Pros: Safe area, great location with lots of historic architecture, free water, free minibar.|Cons: Room is quite tight, basic...
Read moreDuring my recent stay at Hotel de Sévigné, I was impressed by the level of hospitality provided by the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and made to feel right at home. What truly stood out to me was the staff's dedication to ensuring that every aspect of my stay was enjoyable and stress-free.
One aspect that particularly impressed me was the staff's willingness to go above and beyond to assist with restaurant reservations and recommendations. They were always on hand to provide valuable suggestions and even helped make reservations on my behalf.
I must also commend the delightful Patricia, who oversees the breakfast service at the hotel. Despite my occasional tardiness, she always greeted me with a warm smile and ensured that I never missed out on the delicious breakfast spread. On one occasion, she even went out of her way to prepare some extra eggs and bacon for me when I arrived a bit later than usual. Such gestures of kindness and hospitality truly made me feel like a valued guest.
Overall, my experience at Hotel de Sévigné was nothing short of exceptional, thanks in large part to the attentive and accommodating staff. Their genuine care and dedication to guest satisfaction set this hotel apart, making it a very good option to stay in the...
Read moreI'll start with our arrival. We arrived very very early around 9 am as we had an early flight arrival. The staff were very accommodating. They could not obviously give us our room yet but took our luggage and stored it in a room behind the check in desk and offered to email me as soon as the room was ready. Which they did around 1:30 pm. The hotel is a short walk to the Arc de Triomphe. We were also able to walk to the Eiffel Tower within 25 minutes. The walk to the Louvre was much longer at 45 minutes but we are walkers so it was fine. Uber was extremely reasonable just FYI. We used it to go back to the hotel a few times. The room was small but perfectly fine for our needs. I love that there is an elevator. Some smaller hotels in older buildings do not have this. The room and bathroom were very clean. We opted to not have them clean the room during our short stay so I can't comment on that. We didn't have breakfast either so no comment on that. There are many restaurants within walking distance. The hotel emailed me a list of their recommendations prior to arrival. We did go to one of them which was less than a minute walk from the hotel. Very good food. We felt completely safe in this neighborhood and it...
