Cite Universitaire

Beautiful boutique hotel in a fabulous central location. Walk to Louvre, great shopping and restaurants. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to go back.

The hotel was comfortable and conveniently located, perhaps not quite as nice as it appeared on their promotional pics. Room was small but the bed was comfortable. There was a bit of noise from the street, and our visit was on a warm evening. The air con didn't seem to be controllable from the room, so it was a case of street noise and fresh air vs. warm and stuffy room. Breakfast was decent, and staff were mostly friendly and attentive, which helped to create a relaxed atmosphere.

We stayed at Hôtel de Nell for 9 nights. We have been to Paris a lot over the years but it’s our first time staying in this hotel. Staff at reception are always attentive and kind, specially a lady with long dark hair whose name we didn’t ask but who was there to greet us almost every single day and helped us reorganize a restaurant reservation for my husband’s Birthday. The room is modern, clean and airy; they offer a mini fridge, a Nespresso Coffee maker and a kettle both with complimentary coffee pods and tea bags. Upon arrival you will get a welcome Madeleine and a scone and a compliment bottle of water (any extra bottles will be charged). You also get a nice robe and slippers (there is a Spa on the ground level), hairdryer and umbrellas but no iron, although they do offer a laundry service. Towels and sheets were always fresh and clean and the toiletries smelled great ( note they have shampoo but no conditioner). My only comments regarding things that can be improved are: The bathroom sink is nice and modern but it will splash your clothes every time you use it, we concluded that the reason is that the faucet is too big for the sink, I think it’s a design problem. There is a single recessed floor light for the shower area making it impossible to see when using a razor or trying to figure out how the shower works! Breakfast was nice but we found cheaper options literally 5 minutes away. Lots of great restaurants nearby and close to the Metro. Would definitely stay again!
