This hotel is located in a quiet yet central part of Paris. The road on which it is located is very quiet, yet there is a good choice of restaurants within a short walking distance. The room was huge by Parisian standards and had the things which you would expect in a four star hotels as a standard: The kettle, the minibar, tea and coffee provided, full size shower and bath combo. The toiletries were by Fragonard and a more generous size than normally. The breakfast was also very good and replenished regularly. The quality of friendliness and helpfulness at the reception varied. The lady who checked me in and gave a recommendation for a place where to have dinner was extremely helpful, but then the guy who replaced her for the evening shift was downright rude.
There are many old-fashioned hotels in Paris. Hotels which have not been overly renovated or elevated from 3-Star to 4-5 Star hotels. And Relais Monceau is among the best. It has old charm with very nice amenities, narrow halls and smallish rooms with very comfy beds, enough light to read in bed, a delightful, weathered breakfast room and intimate, small bar and lounge. Guests seem to return often: one Swiss couple has been staying here for 25 years. Very helpful staff. The 8ieme is lovely and Rue du Rocher is chock full of every kind of shop. Near Metro Villiers. I will definitely stay here on next visit. And highly recommend for comfy, old-world, good-old-ordinary stay! Hard to find today. Refreshing!
The wife and I stayed here for a few nights mid September and found it a charming place. The decor is a little dark with dark colours and wood paneling but I think that's what makes it look a little more upmarket than some of the hotels we have stayed in in Paris which have been more 'conference centreish' than a hotel. The bathroom was good and had a bath somewhat bigger than a usual hotel bath. And the bed was very large and comfortable. It was as usual, two singles put together but a concerted effort had been made to make them into a comfortable double. At no time did my wife or I start to disappear down the gap in the middle! We opted to have the breakfast included which is in a cosy breakfast room containing continental and cooked breakfast food. The hotel itself is in a quiet part of Paris so a lot of the shops and businesses around it were closed over the weekend. This makes trying to find a proper French restaurant pretty hard to do in the local area though unless you want a bar or pizza place which abound. The staff were all very friendly. The nearest Metro stop is yards away up the road or walking into the centre of Paris will take at least half an hour. Likewise the same for Monmartre or the Gard du Nord. The local park, Park Monceau which is an amazing place is a 10 minute walk away.…
Old hotel like most in Paris. Quiet, well located 8 mn walk to gare saint Lazare. Bathroom small but OK. Bed OK. Breakfast OK. Several fine restaurants in the street. TV is a joke A3 screen! All in All correct for one night.
I have just returned from a 3 night stay with my 7 year old granddaughter at this Hotel. This Hotel is situated in a great area of Paris. All the staff are friendly and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Room was a good size, well maintained and clean. Highly recommended.
