Hotel rooms

I will be in Paris for 9 days the end of October. I will need a room for 3 adults. Anyone ever stay at Letita..Concorde St. Lazare..Le Meriden Monparnasse??



We are looking for a 4 star hotel, within walking to the sites( or near the Metro). Thanks for any info.

Be very aware about going on star ratings alone, as your expectations of what a 4 star hotel may not actually match your expectations. I%26#39;ve found that 4 star hotels in Europe do not necessarily equate to the standards that we have set here. It%26#39;s been very confusing actually! You may come across three (or lower) star hotels, which are actually better in quality and service than a higher star rating hotel.

I agree about the star ratings. Stars represent only features - not quality or service.





And, a good place to start is with the TripAdvisor hotel reviews...





Not only have many stayed at the places you%26#39;ve mentioned and reported, you can also pick up tips regarding location, transportation, what%26#39;s nearby, etc.

Thanks. I know the star rating is NOT the same as in the states. Anyone know how the Du Louvre hotel is?

The Du Louvre has been recommended around here many times, and the reviews give an impression that its rather quite good. So, it might definitely be one to consider! :)

We stayed at the Du Louvre but a number of years ago. The rooms were well decorated in traditional French style, gold silk drapes etc, and we looked out on the square where kids did skateboard tricks. It was our first visit to Paris and we enjoyed the central placement right across from the Louvre.



Make sure you walk around the back through the Palais Royal to the arcade and garden. It is a lovely little oasis.
