The Hotel Muguet is lovely. It was recently redone and they have a new website www.hotelparismuguet.com There are recent posts on tripadvior that you might want to read. It is close to many bus lines, restaurants, and the metro. The common area is nice and a computer in the lobby so you can check your emails. I'm not sure if it is free.

Exactly what else would you like to know about the hotel? (Hotel Henri)

If Hotel Muguet is available for your dates, it is very nice and well located. We happen to really enjoy staying in the 7th.

We stayed in one of their triples (just the two of us). There will either be two twins or a queen in the room. There are two closets (generous for Paris). The room is not what I would call spacious, but not cramped either. The third bed is a trundle opposite the second closet in the corridor between the bedroom and the bathroom that is exactly wide enough for the trundle bed. Though three people can surely sleep and dress, I would find it terribly cramped and "crowded".

Is Hotel de la Bourdonnais not available? I ask because it is STEPS from Ecole Militaire metro station (which has an escalator at the exit) and half a dozen or more bus routes at Place de l'Ecole Militaire. Also within steps are plenty of restaurants, a grocery store, a wonderful take-away shop, a pharmacy, several ATM's, and several terrific cafes.

Both Henry IV and Muguet are quite a bit farther from anything. With an injured ankle, I would try to find a hotel as close as possible to everything, especially metro/bus stops.

Not true. Hotel Henri Rive Gauche is one block from the San Michele (sp?) stop and there's a taxi stand there also. You are one block from the Seine as well.

Henri IV and Henri IV Rive Gauche are two different hotels.

sandi_travelnut -
I have been asking a couple of questions via email and didn't get response and so I called the hotel today... (Henri IV Rive Gauche) to ask my questions.
The one question I can't seem to get answered - and you spoke to it in your reply to me - is the triple room that we will have the one that is on the web page... the picture looks very nice.
Do you know if they have several types of triples?

We booked two triple rooms for this summer. The hotel states they have one triple room per floor....four triple rooms total in the hotel. 3 are in the back on the courtyard and one on the front. Remember reading somewhere the front triple may be smaller than the back ones.

Thank you... I guess I'm just not reading all the hotel information.
I really appreciate your helping me out!
What would I do without Fodor Folk :-)

The one on the website was th one we had. It was an interior room and looked into a non descript interior courtyard. I am talking about Hotel Henri Rive Gauche on rue St. Jacques.
