LE PAVILLON DE LA REINE & SPA, PLACE DES VOSGES, Paris – A Smart Stay in the City

The hotel had some drawbacks with its room overlooking other buildings and a noisy street nearby but was an improvement from a previous stay near a loud day care center. The service was very supportive and helpful with various requests, while the location was perfect for exploring historic Marais and enjoying a lovely walk down to the Seine. Despite being far from some attractions, the hotel was ideally situated on Place des Vosges. The dining experience was mixed, with delicious but expensive food offerings and a less than cozy breakfast area due to drafts from the entrance. The facilities were adequate overall.

The hotel boasts outstanding rooms with windows offering picturesque views of the city rooftops and the charming courtyard below, adorned with period antique furniture. However, some rooms were smaller than anticipated. The service was amazing, with staff going above and beyond to assist with local recommendations and travel plans. The location shines at the heart of Paris, right on the prestigious Place des Vosges, providing both tranquility and easy access to the vibrant neighborhood. The dining options were a bit pricey for the offered buffet, and the gym facilities were not up to par. On the bright side, the hotel features a gym, room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, valet parking, a welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance.

The hotel had tastefully decorated rooms with impeccable cleanliness and presentation, though the size was a bit small for my liking and the lighting was poor. The service was amazing, reminiscent of old-fashioned hospitality, especially from the concierge and front desk. The location was outstanding, being right on Place des Voges and boasting a beautiful courtyard garden. The dining experience was good, with helpful staff, but at times waiting for the buffet to be replenished could be a slight inconvenience.

The hotel offers comfortable and spacious rooms, with a quieter setting at the back. The service is exceptional, with incredibly nice and helpful staff. The location is excellent, especially by the beautiful courtyard garden. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a good variety of options. However, the buffet charges did not match the expectations for a five-star hotel.

The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons. The rooms are a bit small with poor lighting and an 'old house' smell, but they do feature street and garden views and a quiet master room. However, noise from neighboring rooms and loud door banging in the corridor disrupted the peace. The service is exceptional, with attentive and helpful staff addressing issues promptly. The location is superb, just outside the picturesque Place des Vosges surrounded by galleries and bistros. Breakfast was satisfactory but could be more diverse. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some room for improvement.
