Hôtel de France Invalides

Good location and staff service. Decor and condition of room and facilities disappointing and certainly not as promising as the hotel photos suggest. Needs a major uplift. Would not recommend.

The Hotel de France Invalides is located so conveniently near the eiffel tower and the stops for the tour busses, it is really in an ideal location to get around and see Paris! And less than 10 mins from the Ecole Militaire metro station very easy to find too! Marie (manageress/owner) was very welcoming. We arrived 90m before check in time, but they did everything to prepare the room earlier for us. It was ready in less than 30 mins! I had requested that our double room would have a street view if at all possible, but Marie did one better and upgraded us to a double room with a balcony! The room was lovely and very well represented by the photos shown on the website. The view was gorgeous, offering a perfect view of the les Invalides complex close by, with it's classic architecture and gold gilded dome! The bed was very comfortable, and there were an assortment of seats and a sofa to relax on in the room, but we spent most of our time admiring the view from the balcony with a glass of wine. There was a buffett breakfast available, which we did sample on the day of depature. Unfortunately we had gotten up late, so it was a fleeting visit, but there was a nice spread of fresh bakery good, teas coffees, juices, and a egg making station. We left full and ready for the trip home. We had a lovely time and cannot commend Marie and the staff helped make our first Paris trip memorable. We would be happy to stay here again when we are next in Paris. Kind regards, Steve&Lindsey

Solid hotel, great location near lots of local activity and museums.

Hosts/concierge Mary Ellen and Richard were very welcoming and informative. Had a Great breakfast. Nice neighborhood- close to Rodin museum. 20 minute stroll to Eiffel Tower

I gave the hotel 5 stars based on value. It is very reasonably priced for the quality you recieve. On the negative the hotel rooms are much smaller I am accustomed to in America and there was no air conditioning which is standard in the states. On the plus side the room tempature was very conferrable in mid-late June. The windows opened and there was always a nice breeze and street was not overly busy or loud at night. Also there was no insects when the windows were open. Ultimately the windows being open provided good sleeping weather and the beds were very confertable and we all slept well. Also the room was very clean and the cleaning staff did an exelant job cleaning each day. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful but never intrusive. Finally the location was excellent. There was numerous restaurants near by. We would just walk the neighborhood and find a different restraint each night. They were all excellent and we did not need a reservation. I only ate breakfast at the hotel one time but it was very good as well. I am glad we spent a reasonable amount for our lodging and had more funds to enjoy Paris.
