We are going to Paris in May. Read all positive reviews about Latour-Maubourg, except one. This one said that the hotel is over the metro and rooms are noisy and shake each time the trains go through. Any truth to this??

ttt for mirosmith . . .

Travelnut-Could you explain your reply. I would appreciate it. Thanks

ttt = "to the top"
since your post had dropped a ways without anyone answering it...
just a way to bring it to the 'forefront' again...

I have stayed at this hotel in a street front room. Whoever said the rooms shake must be incredibly sensitive or stayed in another hotel. Except for seeing the entry to the Metro, I wouldn't have known it was even close.The windows are double glazed and when closed there is no street noise. I wasn't on the ground floor to sleep, but at breakfast I still would never have noticed the metro nor did I notice on a quiet afternoon alone in the ground floor salon. The only room on the ground floor is the suite. Friends who have stayed in the suite never mentioned Metro Noise.

I did read a post once about the Metro being noticeable underneath the hotel, but it was referring to Hotel Monge in the 5th. and it was only the 1 person or post - otherwise, have never read anyone saying this was a problem wih any Paris hotels... Now street noise, the garbage men, and markets setting up at 6:00 am - that's what you have to find out about! (of course, McBetsy has already smoothed over any fears of this regarding Latour-Maubourg).
