Villa Saxe Eiffel

The Villa Saxe Eiffel was a long-time favorite of mine & Unesco, which is nearby. It had excellent, professional service, comfortable rooms, pretty good breakfast, and a library that was open 24 hours. We could stop by for coffee or wine, even fresh fruit. Last week I faced a chaotic check-in (despite 3 people at reception), room problems that went unfixed until late, and a dreary room that was apparently due to renovation. The proprietor of a nearby hotel said that the Saxe had recently been sold and was now staffed by untrained youngsters. For example, when I asked the front desk if I could see the room where I had last stayed--and loved--he said the Saxe doesn't keep track of stays and added that it never had. Which just isn't true. They once greeted returning customers: "Bienvenue. Tellement bon de vous revoir."

Villa Saxe Eiffel is a great hotel and conveniently located (you can literally see the Eiffel Tower down the street from the hotel). They've got a great breakfast spread in the mornings, staff are super friendly and helpful, and the rooms were great. Would recommend this hotel for any business travellers or couples/families.

Excellent, helpful, friendly staff!!! Very nicely appointed, convenient honor bar and coffee area... Quiet, if you're looking for an area with more activity, this isn't it thought it's a 10 min walk to the Metro, 20 to Eiffel Tower...would not stay again with our kids because the WiFi was horrible which made catchup on email/planning and streaming for the kids annoying..to be fair, I assumed it was bad and did not seek staff help for improved WiFi
