Kate, seems they're hard to secure a reservation with. Is this correct? Plus it seems if you're a newcomer,it's hard to "get in". Kind of like exclusivity.<BR><BR>By the way how is that continental b'fast they offer?

Breakfast for us is always a pot of coffee for two and croissants.So I am not sure about what else they offer.The coffee is great!<BR>Not exclusive at all.We were newbies there once, I called, and booked the room and that was that.Sent them the check and the room was waiting for us when we got there.<BR>When booking,does anyone just call or do you do it all through email? Perhaps a phone call would be more reassuring?<BR>Kate

First I sent an email to which they responded. Then I called to ask a couple questions but it's too expensive that way. I have been sending emails but they answer when they can and not in detail either.

That b'fast is 9.15 Euro/pp. That's alot for a few croissants and a pot of coffee. I believe they say eggs are a la carte.

Well,since this is probably a busy season for them,and maybe once they have a room booked,they are not so fast to keep talking to you:O)<BR>If you have any questions that I could help you with,I don't mind,and I promise I will get back to you quickly:)<BR>kate

Kate, looks like all the business is going to the Angleterre based on your recommendations! :&gt;)<BR><BR>I just sent off the check and I'll let them know to expect it.<BR><BR>I received back an email from the hotel today as I too asked about the room I'm reserving. They can't give specifics only to say they are all different sizes and differently decorated.<BR><BR>Now like I mentioned before, we reserved a deluxe room so I am hoping it's spacious and not too quirky. Anyway, it's only for two nights. I do wish I could know beforehand what the room looks like.

I usually like to know what the room looks like too,but in the case of a lot of European hotels, each room is different- unlike the hotels in the US where the rooms are all exactly alike.<BR>As long as you have a courtyard room and a big bed, you will be fine:)<BR>I think a deluxe room will be just right!<BR> <BR>I have a heavy responsibility now:) hoping that my recommendations are lived up to by the hotel! But they have never failed us,and we do go to some pretty nice hotels,so I think you should be happy.<BR>Do post a report when you get back,so I can know wonderful your stay in France was!<BR>Have a great time,Kate<BR>Try to have dinner at the Petite St Benoit right around the corner on rue Benoit.Go to Allard for dinner one night.:O)

Thanks Kate. Looks like you're doing double time on the "Rue Jacob Hotels" thread too! We can really use the help as there is no website for Angleterre.
