Grand Hôtel Dechampaigne

Charming decoration that would appeal to peoiple allegic to aseptic hotel chains.

Great location. 10 minutes walk to Notre Dame and to the Louvre. Very close to the underground and shopping area (not luxury shopping). Room is not too big but it is ok considering this is Paris. The hotel is located on a side street so you avoid all the traffic noise. I would go again to this hotel.

The WC had no window. Breakfast is ok although repetitive if you stay more than 2-3 days.

Location, close to transport and central

Size of the room, the hotel needs to be upgraded/better maintained if they want to keep high fares

Proximity to shopping and transport., both very good. Some very good restaurants in the area.

Usual Parisian shoe box room, although nicely decorated. No heat control in the room, which was a hot house in the early evening. Shower room quite small. No tea/coffee making service. No iron in room with board, although there is a small room near reception you can use to freshen up clothing. Lane outside hotel used as sitting area for local down and outs!

Position and Hotel staff

Great location, perfect for a long week end in Paris. Metro station is around the corner. Quiet street, no major noises. Close to an area full of restaurants and bars across Rue Rivoli towards Sebastopol street very convenient at night, and happy shopping during the day. Personnel was very helpful and warm. Room 405 was what we expected, normal size for an historical building

The only negative detail was the shower, as it would swicth from very hot water into cold water in matter of seconds... but a minor thing.

Great localization; friendly staff; breakfast ok; price

Tiny room; poor mattress; the bathroom (no curtain on bath)

This hotel was fine for our short stay in Paris. The staff was friendly and accomodating - complimentary champaign is served in the lobby each afternoon. The first scheduled night of our stay, however, there was an electical problem, so when we arrived there we found that they had booked us into another hotel, The Louve-Rivoli, one block away, which was actually nicer, since the room was larger and cost less, even including breakfast. The location was certainly excellent for seeing the city.

We did like this hotel, though were a little chagrinned that there was a better, less expensive one so close by.

We have stayed at the hotel once before, three years ago. It was as we remember. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, the building is interesting, quaint although showing its age in places. The location is the biggest plus with the area developing and offering better choice of eating places. However, for site seeing the hotel is superbely located. We liked the way the two rooms (one twin and one double) were linked in a family style as we had our mothers with us (85 and 80), so they had their own facilities but we were on hand should there have been a problem. Overall the hotel did what we wanted it to do and made it easy for our elderly mothers to visit Paris for the first time and enjoy some of the main sites. Thank you.

The double room was located on the interior of the hotel with a view of other rooms. The air flow was very poor and even with the air con on the room was very stuffy. If the windows were left open the machinery of the hotel down below was noisy and the lights and noise from other guests was disturbing. The decor needs a revamp and the bathroom did not have any extraction.

Convienent access to the major tour sites of Paris. Friendly and kind hotel staffs. Ancient-like guest room decoration.

Convenient location for visiting museum, art center, and the oldest church in Paris. Continental breakfast at 11 Euro is a fine price.

The mattress was too soft, so not good for the spin if you had to sleep on it for more than two days.

hotel is Well maintained

No facilities like swimming pool and recreation.
