Hotel des Deux Continents

hotel location and staff

Continental breakfast was fresh and square. The receptionist was obliging and spoke good English (not only French).

Chambermaid worked absently. Hotel is situated in an old building, so the toilete room is narrow, the staircase to the second floor (caracole) is narrow and I did not like it (no lift). In other countries I could have better for this price.

The location is excellent - within easy reach of the Louvre, Tuilleries and Notre Dame, and with many bars and restaurants a few minutes' walk away. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, and spoke good English.

The rooms are fairly small, and the shower in the bathroom had no door - so it was impossible to shower without wetting most of the rest of the bathroom in the process.

The Location was great. Walking distance to everything and only 15 Euros to get back to the Nord station.

It was a bit noisey but thats what you get if you are central to everything. They do need a fan or aircon because we couldn't leave the window shut because it got too hot and when we opened it, was a bit noisey. BUT its a great hotel and worth the money and the three of us who stayed there we had a lovely time and would recomend it to anybody!!!

Hotel is very close to Saint Germain Boulevard, and it has very good location

No electronic locks, no safe deposit box in the room, no free shuttle service as advertused on the website and no internet for 25 cents per hour. The internet is available for 1Euro an hour and wireless connection is very poor. If you use hotel computer, it will cost 5 Euro an hour and you can't even use French Keyboard unless you know how to swich from symbols to English letters.

No internet / WiFi

location - St Germain des Pres is great, near many of Paris's destination sites and pleasant to stroll the old streets with their shops and restaurants.

having no elevator for the lower floors is a drawback. room a bit small
