Worth a short stay, for historic connections.
This is a small luxury hotel in rue des Beaux-Arts where Oscar Wilde stayed (and died). It is charming and historic but as a result the rooms are very small and do not have the easy comforts of a more modern hotel. For example, there is very limited cupboard space. Also the bathrooms are old fashioned, with a rather awkward hand held "shower over bathtub" arrangement. The bath was also very high with a wide lip which made it awkward to climb into and required great care not to slip. That said it was fun to stay for a couple of days and the staff were friendly and helpful. Generous breakfast and nice public rooms.

Only stayed for one night, but from the short time I was there the hotel lived up to the glowing reviews I had read. The room I was in was very spacious, chic and very comfortable. A private hour booked in the steam-room/hammam and a couple of first-rate cocktails topped things off nicely.

Not great
Nice Friendly staff. Here on a 3 day stay with my daughter. Room service not great, we ordered chicken with mustard sauce, it came in a small bowl, Microwaved food by the waiter, but still cold, and a store bought chocolate dessert., 52 Euros. We ordered a separate German bed, it wasn’t there. Eggs Benedict for breakfast was terrible, a slice of bread , ham, badly poached egg and a small bowl of congealed/split sauce, certainly not Eggs Benedict. It’s very obvious this hotel doesn’t have a chef and relies on waiters reheating food. Shower flooded bathroom. No TV in rooms, when asked I was told this is the new style of room. Pool dirty and needs cleaning, smells quite bad. Lots of dirt on the pool walls and ladder. Still, charming hotel, but does rely on the Connection with Oscar Wilde for bookings. The staff are what makes this hotel and they work hard. The food is a big let down.

Dear Mr. Redman, We would like to thank you for your feedback and for your kind words regarding the staff. We do take in great consideration the feedbacks from our guests. Our goal is to try to have the best way of service and the staff is doing his best to achieve that. Regarding the food, you are totally right, unfortunately, we no longer have any restaurant at L'Hotel, so no Chef but we have a lovely cook. We are very sorry that you did not like the eggs. We will retrain him to have them properly done. Concerning the room service, we are sorry that you did not like the meal and espacially that it was not warm as it should have. For the TV, we are actually trying to see how much they are required as they seem so strange with the decor in our rooms and we are looking to have a no screen hotel for health purposes. Please be assured that we duly noted that you would have enjoyed a TV and we will see in the near future, if we should have them back. For the state of the hotel, please be assured that our owners have some refurbishment planned in the near future to improve everything. They do love L'Hotel and want to instill this feeling to our guests. We do assure you that our aim is to make our guests happy and to make them leave L'Hotel with a fond memory of the place and of Paris. As a nice gesture, we would be delighted to offer you a 20% discount from the room rate. Please let us know if you would accept. We are looking forward to your response. Warmest regards from L'Hotel Olivier HeinkeleDeputy General Manager

Tired and needs updating
Great location; I can imagine this was once a great stay, however, rooms are a little tired and the bathroom is in need of updating (eg, mixer tap on bath to have a shower, but couldn’t direct the water, so it dribbled from shower head and tap)…not the biggest issue in the world but certainly not a 5* experience. Evening Bar and cocktails great. Breakfast forgettable and service very slow, waited 10mins for a member of staff to order a coffee.

Wonderful location in the arts district. 4 minute walk to the Sein river. Lots of close restaurants and shops. The property is beautiful, rooms aren’t huge but are spacious enough. Bathrooms are big and well appointed. Staff was super helpful and accommodating. Included breakfast for a higher rate was well worth it. Be aware that there is an extra city tax not included in the Expedia rate. We visited for our wedding anniversary and would absolutely stay here again- great experience!

Unfortunately this property has seen better days. It’s just flat out old with zero modernization at all. Musty smell echoes throughout the hotel and the amenities are just really poor. We stayed in their biggest room L’apartment and for $1100 a night it’s just not worth the price with other options available. Advertised a king bed, it’s a queen. Shower is so small you can barely fit in it and filled with grout, the second vanity sink is literally the worst sink I’ve ever seen in a hotel, carpet peeling up from the floor. Just a really disappointing place that’s seen much better days.

The hotel building is of exceptional beauty and charm. It oozed charm from every corner. Cleanliness and service were perfect. The aircon unfortunately was not working properly to the point of as if it was nonexistent we had to open the window and the staff helped with bringing a fan which helped a bit in this year’s the heat of August in Paris. The room was a bit on the small size and the bar fridge was so small and was inside a cabinet that made the entire place hot. The highlight that we were waiting for was the Turkish Hammam which was not working but we were not told that it was not working when we booked to use it , a cold Turkish Hammam ??!!!

The hotel needs a major renovation. The rooms are small, dark, and heavily draped. The common rooms downstairs were the same…heavy drapes, small alcoves, leopard carpeting. Our small bedroom didn’t have enough space to open two suitcases without tripping over them. The decor was dark red paint, red wallpaper and a heavy, oversized gold mirror with huge 3D cherubs extending out over the head of the bed. Creepy.

L'Hotel: A Vacation Within a Vacation
L'Hotel is like a vacation within a vacation; the rooms designed by Jacque Garcia took me into another place and time, with a Parisian attitude. I stayed in the Marco Polo suite and felt like I could really understand how he would see the exoticness of Asia (the mix of East and West). It was a very special experience!!
