I've been trying to access Hotel Bonaparte's website all day. My e-mails are returned. I touched base with the hotel just the day before about my reservation. Now, nothing. Anyone have a clue as to what's going on?

why not give them a call and ask . . .

I guess I will call and absorb the charge if the website remains inaccessible, but I just thought someone might know already why I can't get through. The Bonaparte is popular with Fodorites.

Redoing the HB website? Changed URL?

No emergency, just an inconvenience for now.

I was able to access their site, so maybe the problem is now fixed.

Yep, the site is back and in working order.

For future reference: "<i>I guess I will call and absorb the charge</i>" . . . It shouldn't cost more than a few cents, a dollar tops. I call France and the UK semi regularly, don't use skype, and still pay almost nothing. If you don't have a good long distance calling plan, you can use one of the 10-10 numbers.

If you don't call Europe regularly, you aren't going to have one of those plans, though, and the cost isn't a few cents with those 10-10 numbers, although I've used them and they are reasonable if you aren't on the phone long. I think 1010987 is around 10 cents a minute plus about 50 cents per call on top of that.

Did you find anything out about the Hotel Bonaparte website? It seemed okay about a month ago, but now it's been down at least a week. I sent them an e-mail, but will call if I don't get a response.

Scratch that...just noticed the date on your message, and we have made a reservation and taken our trip to Paris since your post. It's down again, so hopefully, it will be back up soon.
