Hotel Brighton

This Hotel is located in a great location for travelers wanting to be at a central location to all the major tourist attractions. The hotel staff was always willing to help, and most spoke good English. They have a tea time with cake every afternoon which was nice to sit and relax for an hour in between exploring the city. We stayed in a junior suite with Paris vue and the 180 degree shot of Paris is worth it!

We had a surprisingly terrible experience with our room assignment when we arrived at this highly-rated hotel. Carpet was sopping wet in half the room, plus temperature was too hot and could not be regulated so we had to leave window open all night. We were told the carpet had recently been shampooed and would be dry when we returned from dinner (it wasn’t). Shower was very difficult & dangerous to negotiate for older guests. We were unable to relocate on the first day so we spent an uncomfortable night. On day 2 we moved to a much better room. The manager apologized profusely & gave us a more comfortable & spacious room with better temperature controls, dry carpeting and a walk-in shower. . Breakfast at 25€ was mediocre however (unimpressive baked goods, bottled juices rather than fresh). We found much better cafes in the neighborhood such as The Carrousel. At checkout we noticed an overbilling for additional breakfasts we never ate — the clerk fixed our bill. Although we know Paris well, we should have chosen a different neighborhood at Christmas. This iconic neighborhood is a bit too crazy during the holidays — crowds, huge Christmas market & amusement park near Louvre, noise & horrible traffic. But if you have kids & want to be in the heart of Paris tourist attractions, it’s great. Just inspect your room carefully at check-in.

It’s a beautiful old building, rooms and lounge nicely finished. BUT we booked a junior suite which was hot on our arrival, the air conditioning worked poorly (they gave us a massive fan), the fridge wasn’t hooked up, the tv didn’t work and the batteries in the remote were dead. Not a 4* experience.

We had an inner court family room. The rooms were large. The hotel is close to all the main museums, food, and pastry shops. Highly recommend!

I was not at all impressed. The room we had was not for 4 people as specified when booked(junior suite). The pictures online of the rooms were much nicer than the room we received. It had wood beams that were dusty and my allergies were awful there. I asked to check out early but, they would not allow. I asked to move rooms, they would not. They did not replenish items like coffee, tea, cream, wash cloths, I found the reception staff to be unkind and uncaring.

Great location - A junior suite should have included a couch - what we had was just a regular room.

We stayed here for 5 days for our honeymoon and everything was amazing. They gave us free champagne in the room to celebrate and the views were incredible. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and the location of the hotel cannot be beat. We would recommend staying here to all friends and family!
