Tonnerre Holidays

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.

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!

The courtyard restaurant is airy (it has a retractable glass roof) and welcoming. Our waiter remembered us from dinner and continued his excellent service that following morning. It lent a private quality to our visit. The food, in my opinion, was good bordering on excellent. The lamb preparation our first dinner was very good. The room offered a mix of eclectic touches (little benches for bedside tables and an old fashioned room key) with conventional modern cues (twin sinks, a Nespresso machine, a large armoire and a mini bar). The king size bed in our room was super comfortable and the large tv delivered clear French and limited English programming. A small seating area and window looking out on the street was a refreshing addition to our Jr suite. Downsides? The nightlife in the area is lively and nearby pubs disgorge their noisy patrons at 2 to 3 am on the weekends. There’s limited parking out front so taxis may pick you up a few doors down the street. The restaurant is crowded on the weekends so make reservations or risk service in the bar. Overall, a delightful stay.

Very welcoming close to train station. Only downside was that the shops near shut at 9pm.

Clean, convenient location,comfortable and good breakfast.

Good location for the area around the Arc dr Triomphe
