Grand Hotel Leveque

We'll only stay here when we're in Patis

The Grand Hotel Leveque is perfectly located on the Rue Cler, with shops, cafes and services right outside. Despite the activity, Rue Cler is like an oasis of calm in all the crazy traffic of Paris. The hotel is very comfortable, although the bathrooms are tiny. The front desk was extremely helpful, chilling our champagne for us, arranging a shuttle to the airport, offering maps and directions. Metro stations are just a short walk. I have stayed here before, and I will stay here again.

I went during the flooding season, so a lot of things were closed, but I still enjoyed my visit, the hotel was perfect, they have a breakfast if you are interested but there are so many places to eat within walking distance I only used it once. You will save a lot of money by getting your own transportation instead of the hotel arranging it. The taxi charged an extra $10.00 fee when called by the hotel instead of me hailing it off the street.

We spent three nights at the Grand Hotel Leveque. We couldn't be happier with our experience. The location of the hotel is on Rue Cler, a street with markets, restaurants and bakeries. Only a ten minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. Everyone at the front desk was nice and extremely helpful. The only complaint I have is that we were not allowed to eat in our room (perhaps this is a policy in many Parisian hotels). This meant I had to get the whole family dressed up for breakfast instead of just bringing croissants into the room.

This hotel came recommended from a friend who always stays there when in Paris. It is within walking distance from the Eiffel Tower and no more than a 5 minute walk to the Metro. The neighborhood is safe and has lots of food/drink options. It is on a street known for its markets (a bit pricey)and it has a lot of liveliness. My room was facing Rue Cler and it does get loud in the mornings when all the shops are opening and people are heading to work/school. It wasn't too bothersome for me, but you may want to bring ear plugs. My room included breakfast. It was quite convenient and had the normal European breakfast fare. Also, there are a lot of places nearby to grab breakfast/pastries. The hotel has a very small elevator. The best way to get there from the airport is to take the RoissyBus (11 euro)at CDG. It drops you off at Opera metro station (which is on the same line as the hotel) and you take it 4 stops to La Tour Maubourg. If you have really large suitcases, it may be a bit stressful. The room was small, but adequate. I was traveling solo and it wasn't a problem, but two people in that room would have been a bit tight. I had a nice big window with a tiny little porch (not big enough to stand on). The free Wifi worked well. Overall, the hotel was a great choice for me--it was a good value for what I got. I could walk to many parts of the city, and using the Metro couldn't have been easier. I highly recommend.
