Hotel du Louvre
 

Anyone ever stay at the Hotel du Louvre. Would lover some feedback.

The Hotel du Louvre is Amazing if...you dont mind small rooms, and you ensure you have an exterior room with a balcony. Otherwise I Love the balcony, the views, the location, and the staff.

We stayed there about three years ago. Wonderful little hotel in a great location.

Small, but spotless rooms. Outstanding staff, helpful, great management. They were planning on installing air conditioning after the heat wave in 2004 (?).

The only negative was an occasional loud drunk early in the morning, but you can't really blame the hotel for that...

Hotel du Louvre is my favorite place to stay in Paris. I've stayed there three times and I love it for several reasons. Maybe the most important one is the location. It's within walking distance to Ile de la cite, the Tuileries, Pont des Art - and the Louvre is right across the street. Best of all is the metro station is literally steps from the back door. If it's raining you won't get wet! And the station serves two lines, so you can easily go in any direction from there. The rooms on the upper floors are small but if you ask, they may move you to a lower, larger room. If your budget allows, get the Pissaro Room. It's huge, newly remodeled and faces up the Rue de l'Opera. Great view of the Opera Garnier. In fact the artist Pissaro set up his easel in that room to paint one of his best works. (I think it's called Rue de l'Opera) But even if you just have a view out toward the Louvre (like I did) it's a thrill to look out your window and see the statues on the side of the Louvre.
For practical matters, the baths were recently upgraded and are quite nice. Mine, at least, were nearly as big as the bedroom. Staff speaks English as they cater to Americans - but not so much that it's obnoxious. There is a breakfast buffet that, again, caters to the American taste buds. I usually went to a local cafe instead but the buffet is elegant and deliscious. The concierge is helpful and, of course, speaks fluent English. All in all, I'd recommend it (in case you couldn't let that already!)

A friend stayed there and liked it very much -- except for the street noise. She couldn't open her window and wasn't happy about that. Great location, though.

There are several hotels with "du Louvre" in their names so think there might be some confusion here. The Hotel du Louvre is not all that small, the rooms I've stayed in have all been rather on the large side and this hotel has had air conditioning since my first stay there over 10 years ago.
