Hôtel de l'Avre (Paris, France)

While of course they knew they would be centrally located when they booked, guests nonetheless expressed their pleasure at being so much in the heart of the city. Some could try to beat the queues at the tower, while others liked that some of Paris' very best restaurants were well within walking distance of their hotel.

The little courtyard garden was probably guests favourite feature of De l'Avre. They loved having such a peaceful little oasis to retreat to right in the heart of one of the world's great cities.

Going by guest comments, they simply couldn't get over how quiet the surrounding neighbourhood was, despite being so close to Eiffel Tower. While there were some issues with internal noise, guests described the hotel as on a quite side street in an otherwise fairly busy area.

While they conceded it was essentially the norm in Paris, many guests still didn't much like the cramped conditions of their room. The rooms are described as very small, and best used for as little time as possible.

It seems that the hotel does not have any air conditioning, and guests most certainly noticed this in summer. They described their rooms as too hot and stuffy to be considered comfortable.

Guests found that the hotel's breakfast was somehow both meagre in what it offered, and jumbo in its cost. Since it wasn't usually included in their room-rate it was a simple matter to simply take their breakfast elsewhere.
