L Empire Paris - Paris

Best asset of this hotel is its location, close to Louvre and Notre Dame and located in a shopping and leisure area, with acceptable prices for dining and shopping. Service staff is helpful, room sizes and quality clearly above (french) 4-Star standards, rooms are very silent - unless your room is on the -1 level. Closely to the evelator machine room […] and hotel magazines used by staff we couldn't find too much sleep in the first night as we were frequently awakened by evelator and working staff. Next day we were moved into a room in first floor which was slightly smaller but nor really quiet. Drinks, breakfast and minibar are overpriced, simply leave to hotel and you have a plenty of choices. Summarizing the Hotel offers above standard rooms, friendly staff and an ideal location for sight seeing and shopping. Next metro is 1 minute, RER station (airport train) is 5 min walking distance.

mit ausnahme des etwas kleinen frühstückraums, der auch dazuführte, dass wir mal 10 min warten mussten, den zu niedrigen sesseln zum tisch, war das hotel absolut ok, ja bestens.

Einschränkung beim Zimmerkomfort: Fehlende Ventilationsanlage beim WC/Badezimmer.

The hotel was in the a great location, very close to the Louvre and yet since it is on a side street it was very quiet - perfect! The staff was extremely helpful in finding restaurants to eat and how to use the RER or metro to get to tourist attractions. Their breadkfast offerred a perfect selection of food to start the day

Great staff - very personable and helpful. room tiny and first night bad smell of smoke - told them and not a problem next night. Absolutely ideal location near louvre, nore Dame etc etc decor and attitude more yound and funky than luxurious nut would stay again.

Within easy walking distance of the Llouvre and Notre Dame. Also an easy distance away from the Eiffel tower, Arc de Triumph, Grand Palais, Petit Palais and numerous other museums. I should specify that it's an easy distance if you enjoy walking. I made a day of walking to the Eiffel Tower from my hotel, stopping at every monument and museum along the […] way and it was very enjoyable. Also many delicious restaurants, cafes and bistros in the immediate area. In addition, the staff was fantastic. More than willing to help me with anything I needed, restaurant recommendations and reservations, event tickets, great night clubs, even booking massages. Rates run a little high, but what else would you expect from a hotel of this caliber? I have nothing bad to say about this hotel, at all. Mehr

We stayed in Paris for two nights at the L'Empire Paris after having spent three nights at Disneyland Paris (at the Disneyland Hotel there). This was a family trip doing both "The Mouse" stuff and some sightseeing. Most of the reviews were positive for this hotel prior to my booking it, but they didn't do it justice. We were in room 303 - "Rembrandt" […] - I think. It overlooked rue de L'Arbre Sec. Location - The hotel is a 10 minute walk to Notre Dame, a 5 minute walk to The Louvre Museum, 20 minute walk to the Seine River boats/tours. There are huge department stores 2 minutes away. There are wonderful, cute little boulangerie/patisseries ALL around the hotel (3 minutes in any direction), and there are several little restaurants / wine bars on rue de L'Arbre Sec. You want to get on the Metro, you say? 3 minutes one way towards the Louvre for one station or 4 minutes the other way for Les Halles (a major RER + Metro/subway station). The hotel is tucked back 30 yards or so on rue de L'Arbre Sec, so it's not easy to spot from Rue de Rivouli (sp?). Once you find it, though, you're hooked. Rooms - We had a "family room" with a jacuzzi spa. It had a king bed (very comfortable) and a pull-out double for our two children in another room. Each room had it's own TV. Very modern, and very, very spacious by French/European standards. The bathroom was also very large and spacious by European standards. Then entire "apartment" was decorated in a very modern style which we all liked. Huge, spacious closets as well. Staff - The staff all spoke very passable English. My French is far worse than their English. They all were extremely accommodating - from asking for an extra luggage rack / holder in the bedroom, to asking to take some coffee and tea back to the room after our breakfast the staff was warm and welcoming. Better than the treatment we received at Disney, if you can believe that. Breakfast - Breakfast was included with our room package. I would suggest that if you book a Mehr

small boutique hotel, ok, problem, they sell you an upgrade because your room is not ready!!! Lookout! we made a mistake, otherwise it would have been ok, but, we got....caught! Beware friends!! PC

My partner and I stays in room 413 for a 4 day break in February 2012. Our room rate included breakfast. This hotel is in a great location if you are wanting to see the sights of Paris. You can walk to many places and the nearest Metro line is about 100m away. We walked to the Eiffel Tower and it took about 50 minutes along the riverside. All I will […] say if you are gong to Paris at this time of year...dress up warm! The staff in the hotel were great and very helpful. Breakfast was served with a smile and a laugh and the evening bar staff went the extra mile to ensure we're enjoying our drinks with ample free snacks and the occasional extra shot for the cocktails. Unfortunalely the room was not quite up to the standard expected from a 4 star hotel. At first glance, it looked exactly like the photos on the website with tasteful decor, sloped roof with sky lights and spacious bathroom. The bed was very large and comfy. However, after unpacking and exploring the room in more detail, it was obvious that the finish was not to a good standard with grout missing in floor tiles, holes in wall filled badly around the desk area and the sink above the mini bar leaked and flooded the nearby flooring. The other issue in the room was the heating. Probably due to the time of year, we really stuggled to get the room to the right temperature and the thermostat was pretty useless. During the day it was too cold and despite putting the temperature up to 32c, we had to get a noisy plug in heater to provide extra heat. At night it got a little too warm but there were vents on the windows to assist with this. I'm not sure if this was linked but the shower went constantly from hot to cold in the mornings so it's possible the hotel was having a general issue with heating. The staff were very helpful and did their best to resolve the heat issue in the room. We had a good stay in this hotel. I should point out that I stay in many hotels each year on business so am maybe more critical of t Mehr

The hotel was chosen because of the location to the nearby attractions that we wanted to see. It was very easy to find even though its down a side street but that made it better. The area is very good with easy access to everything you wanted for a weekend trip to Paris. The hotel was very good with it looking as if its been newly refurbed, and if modern […] minimalist is your thing then this is done very well. Staff were very helpful and polite. The only negative is that as the floors were all wooden or tiled they were noisey with people walking around. But that didnt really bother us much. Mehr

The location of the hotel was perfect, walking distacne to almost all the must see sites. Staff very friendly and always willing to go an extra step to help you. The room was very confortable, renovated and super clean.

The street is quite. right in the middle of PAris. Near the subway. easy acces.

Great location, so close to the Metro and a great neighborhood, many restaurants, cafes and shops. They provided excellent customer service and accommodated our last minute request to have our two rooms next to each other which we had not previously asked for. Our rooms were on the bottom floor (sub-floor) and only had a view of a tiny outdoor area, […] but we were happy to be next to each other. Rooms were very nice and spotless. Loved the bathroom, also. Great boutique look and feel throughout hotel. Staff went out of their way to assist my friend who unfortunately had lost luggage. A lot of phone calls with the airline...! I will be returning next summer to Paris and can't wait to stay here again! A+++ Mehr

The location is excellent walking distance Louvre 2mins, Place de la Concorde 15mins, Notre Dam 10 mins, Paradis Latin 15mins. Great choice of shops and restaurants near by with RER link 2mins away & Metro across the road. Hotel food & accomodation very good-only one fault was the very smelly corridors leading to the rooms -same all floors, otherwise […] very clean- big rooms and very helpful staff who speak excellent English. We would definately stay here again. Mehr

Very nice boutique hotel - unusually spacious room (for Europe).

Awesome location and amazing staff. Stayed in a superior room which was definitely roomy by euro standards. Great service---bed always turned, room cleaned daily, etc. Staff was helpful for finding directions, recommendations, etc. Greetings every time they saw you and really put customer service first it appeared. Best part is the location is mad […] close to all the sights---and a bus is only a block away at Pont Neuf to get to the Left Bank (Eiffel Tower, etc). The Cafe north and 1/2 block away is an undiscovered, non-tour book treat---don't miss it. Easily the best one we ate at all week and packed every night with locals. Mehr

This hotel is in a fantastic location - central to everything and very convenient. The staff are extremely helpful (and most of them speak very good english) and eager to assist in any way possible. Our room was generous, modern and very clean. Also the rates are quite reasonable and we had the breakfast included which more than suited our needs before […] heading out for a day of sightseeing. Highly recommend. Mehr

L Empire Paris was a fabulous boutique hotel around the corner from the Louvre. My room was huge, it was a great change from all the hotels I had stayed in the last 4 weeks! The staff were very friendly & extremely helpful. I would love to return to Paris soon and I would definitely be staying here again!

The hotel has a great location only around 2 minutes walk to the metro station. The rooms are ok and clean. The hotel is small but in Paris sight seeing is more important. Great local shops down the road to buy drinks etc.

The staff were very nice and location was very good. However the facilities themselves are not so great. Our room had water seeping under the floor and when you stepped the water came up through the floor boards. They did change us to another room and had plumbers/ repairmen come in immediately to start repairs. There is really no lobby and the style...sort […] of a dark version of Ikea meets Mondrian makes me wonder what you can not see. Mehr

We enjoyed our stay at the Empire. We had an excellent, quiet room, which was very spacious with good linens. This hotel is in an excellent location for touring important sights in the city. Service was very good. Staff made a big effort to answer questions and set up tours for us if we asked.

Great hotel and good location (about a 5-10 minute walk from the main entrance of the Louvre) and the staff were very lovely. The rooms were one of the biggest I’ve stayed in central Paris and this is a massive selling point for a hotel in Paris. On the downside it looked a bit tired around some of the edges once you started to look closer; chipped […] bath, shelf practically falling off, lime scale around the edge of the bath, the pain fading on the desk, but we're talking minor things that made no impact to my stay. The feel of the hotel is very early 2000’s; lots of monochrome, arty style pictures etc. Doesn’t feel very Parisian considering it is such a beautiful building, but it means its well equipped with everything you need, including docking stations in the TV, power showers etc. You couldn't fault the staff at all; we could check in early, the bar man made us specially designed cocktails, the maid checked to make sure we had everything we needed, the breakfast waitress was very attentive etc. The surrounding area is a bit mixed. The immediate streets are lovely, and you can find some great places. We did walk to the Marais most nights, which is about a 15-20 minute walk. Overall great hotel, staff and location but could do with a little TLC. Very worth a stay, and I have paid more but got less in Paris before. Mehr

I have stayed here on three consecutive visits to Paris. For location, great value (outside of the European summer), beautiful modern rooms and very comfortable beds, it is my preferred choice. Quiet location in the middle of everything.

Great and helpful staff. Rooms clean but tired art deco style. Location is great by Louvre and Pont Neuf. Lots of local resturants close.

The staff was all five star by USA standards. The hotel itself does not deserve more than three stars by American standards, as there are no gym facilities, and the air conditioning is not very strong. Overall, for a small boutique hotel id was more than fine with an excellent location.

We stayed at the superior room for our honey moon. And it was a very unpleasant surprise when we realised that there was no city view from our room. All we could see from the windows were small yard and white walls and windows of another house, so that people could watch what was happening in our room. We were very upset and preferred to keep the draperies […] closed. This is absolutely unacceptable situation for superior room and 4 stars hotel. The staff lost our luggage and delayed check-in for 1,5 hours. Location of the hotel is good - close to Louvre. There are a lot of nice restaurants nearby the hotel. The hotel is generally normal. Nevertheless, we assess that the quality of premises and service are bad for such high price. Not recommended. Mehr

I usually stay at 5 star hotels, but the Paris Airshow was occurring so everything was sold out or $1500. Since we needed 3 rooms, this wasn't going to work. What I usually rave about with 5 star hotels is the service, L'Empire blew them out of the water. The small boutique atmosphere coupled with young, vivacious staff proved dynamo. We loved them. […] While the location (perfect if you are wanting a Louvre centric trip) and rooms quality could be better. Mehr

Great hotel. The staff go out of their way to please you.

If anything, the amenities were a bit TOO modern. We had trouble figuring out how to make the shower work, and the lack of a shower curtain or door meant the whole bathroom got a spraydown everytime we took a shower. Sorta funny. Nice hotel, staff was SUPER friendly and helpful. Would stay again for sure.

I have stayed in Paris before and knew where I wanted to be. L Empire is situated in the very heart of the Louve neighborhood, near Notre Dame, great cafes and eateries. The service is outstanding, the staff is very helpful, and rooms are modern and very comfortable. I will stay there again.

ITS ALL GOOD EXCEPT MINI BAR IS CRAZY PRICE STAFF FIRST CLASS.

If you want to be close to the Louvre in a spacious modern room, this is an ideal pick. A bit pricey but worth it.

Fantastic staff, a great location, spacious and well appointed rooms, free no-code wifi and strangely scented hallways make this an ideal place to base your next Paris visit. Just watch out for the showers which were impossible to use without soaking the whole bathroom.

The staff here is young, polite, spoke English, was very helpful and accommodating. I arrived early and was immediately shown to my room. For a Paris hotel, this was a stand out. The room and bathroom were very large, modern and clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It's within a half block of the Metro station (Louvre-Rivoli) and and very […] conveniently located to everything you'll want to see. Stay here. Mehr

A true boutique, small lobby and restaurant. My room was very nice size and faced a pleasant courtyard. Staff was very courteous and accommodating. Location is great -- next door to the Louvre and steps away from the Marais. Overall a good choice if you're on my kind of budget (around $200 US).

The staff at the hotel were extremely pleasant and helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. L'Empire is walkable to many of the most notable sites in Paris, the Louvre, Notre Dame etc.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. We arrived at 8:00 am after an over night flight from the States and were able to check in right away (the room happened to be available, otherwise we would have to wait until the afternoon check in time) . We booked a "superior room" which was very clean and spacious. The hotel location is fabulous. […] Free WiFi available (I believe the Hotel.com website says there is a surcharge). I agree with some of the other reviewers who said don't bother with the breakfast. There are so many great places to eat around the hotel, why limit yourself to one overpriced hotel meal every morning? The only negative was that our room was below the lobby level which made it very quiet for street noise, but we were near the maid/janitor rooms and they were noisy at all hours of the day and evening. But we weren't in the room that much, so it wasn't a real big deal. They had periodic water outages (I don't know if it was due to construction going on at the building next door) but they always gave us enough warning so we could plan our day accordingly. I would highly recommend this hotel. Mehr

This is a modern styled hotel and very well appointed. The amenities were numerous and all of great quality and the room was wonderfully comfortable. The location was unbeatable; midway between Les Halles and The Louvre. The bar was a real gem too, a nice place for a drink after a long day of sightseeing with a really friendly bar tender. I highly recommend […] staying here. Mehr
