Aiglon

"A couple of married seniors from NY on our dream vacation. London and Paris. I leave many reviews and can sometimes be pretty critical. Hotel Aiglon is just as advertised: an old building with refurbished rooms. If you are planning to spend a lot of time in your room, stay somewhere else. If you are planning on exploring the city and using your hotel mainly as a place to sleep, this is a great choice. A two minute walk from the Metro, which means it’s a 20 minute ride to everywhere. Very small but clean and comfortable rooms. A tiny, slow elevator that does its job. Located in an area with hundreds of different types of restaurants, including very nice French ones, and a few delicious French bakeries as well. The young woman who checked us in could have been nicer to us but I won’t dwell on that. I guess everyone has a bad day. (The ONLY information we needed from her, she did not offer: how to get the lights in the room to turn on). The coffee maker in the room wasn’t working so we notified the front desk. My wife told the gentleman she had unplugged it and tried it in another outlet, to no avail. When we returned to the hotel he informed my wife that it was working; he said the problem was: it was unplugged. Even though my wife had TOLD him she had…doesn’t matter. Men are often condescending towards women. That’s the way of the world…(incidentally, they left it unplugged. Didn’t even check if it was working!). Upwards of a $100 to Uber to the airport; be brave. Take the Metro and the railroad. Two trains. It’s actually faster, and only about $11. Anyway, don’t concern yourself with any of the one star reviews: the Hotel Aiglon is clean, safe, in a vibrant neighborhood, and centrally located. And highly recommended"

"Lovely little hotel in Paris. Clean and comfortable and in a great location. Our room had everything we needed and we're able to borrow and iron and ironing board upon request. The reception staff were really friendly and welcoming. Would recommend staying here for a short city break."

"Located in an older building with a modest, unassuming lobby, looked to me more as a 3-star hotel in spite of the 4 stars at the entrance. Maybe it got a 4 star because it has an elevator and it is located near a metro station. The décor and facilities look outdated but the rooms are bigger in relation to the usual small European room size standards and this is a plus. The same goes for the bathroom in my room, whose window gives into the Montparnasse cemetery. Although facing a busy street, its anti-noise windows do block any traffic. The toilet is separate from the bathroom, which does not happen in North America. Our room was a superior room, so this review is based in such a room, which was spacious and where in the bathroom we had two sinks, something positive when you have two males in the room. The breakfast was o.k. including fruits, yogurts, eggs, cheese, jam and juices. Good location with a ton of restaurants and cafés nearby. The metro station near it can take you anywhere in Paris without problems in a few minutes."
