Hôtel Elixir

The room is really tiny and there is no room for anything, it doesn’t even have a closet or drawers. We had to take out clothes from the suitcase every day. Air didn’t work. Street is noisy. I would go somewhere else next time

The hotel was much older than the pictures, AC didn't work, plumbing was an issue, shower was leaking, and duct tape was holding the walls together. Staff were pleasant. There are some homeless camped outside the hotel.

Amazing location near the Louvre on a private street. Clean room with a bunk bed for the kiddos. Nearby parking in a garage available. Easy access to bus and trains and walk to the Seine is across the street.

Overall this is a great hotel for the price. Hotels in Paris are very expensive, so if you’re looking for a decent and affordable option, I would recommend this hotel. It’s nothing fancy and very small, but it’s in a great location, just steps away from the Louvre and the seine. Some cons: The bathroom had stuff all over the walls and the soap they provide inside of the shower was empty. The door to the bathroom and the glass window in the shower is pretty much see through and there’s no lock, so whoever is sitting in the room while you’re showering can see you through the glass. Also, they turned off the ac in the main lobby, which then turned off the ac to the whole building. The wifi is also very bad. All in all it’s a great hotel, just don’t expect luxury.

I was in Paris for the Olympics and Hotel Elixer was the perfect place to stay. Walking distance to many touristic sights (including the Louvre) and 2 minutes walk to the Chatelet metro station. The staff was extremely helpful, allowed me to check in early and provide insightful tips for my visit. The room was spacious and surprisingly, even the bathroom was spacious. Airconditioning and WiFi were working well. I highly recommend this hotel for travelers who are looking for good value for money.

During the week we stayed there, we saw at least 7 different people manning the one-man front desk. One was friendly and helpful. The others hardly spoke a word. The room was spacious and clean enough. The shower was strange, with only a handheld sprayer and no shower curtain. The elevator was tiny and SLOW. That said, you cannot beat the location. An easy walk from the Seine, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and multiple metro stations to get you anywhere else you want to go. I would absolutely stay here again.

Nice property close to the Louvre Friendly English speaking staff very helpful with all our needs Small rooms but all rooms in Paris are Laurent was kind and helpful on navigating around the area and finding a wonderful restaurant Angelina and providing tasty croissants at check out for our trip to our next destination Very nice gentleman handling the night desk helped with coffee Nice bottle of wine greeted us upon check in Would definitely recommend and go back for our next stay!

It was a great location for visiting tourist sites. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay there again. Only thing missing was a microwave to heat up food in the room.

Very good location for exploring much of historic Paris on foot. Very close to the Louvre, Notre Dame, and multiple transportation stations. The staff, was the absolute best part of our stay. They asked about our plans and our needs and made very helpful suggestions. The room itself was perfect for a family of four. It was spacious, had bunk beds, a skylight, and a small patio. The AC was the best in Europe, which was helpful during the heat wave. Breakfast was worth the price. This would be my first choice if I return to Paris.

The location of this hotel is excellent. Right beside a major metro station that connects several lines. The room was comfortable not too small. The elevator is small but I am glad there is one for the type of the building. The staff is very friendly and check in was simple. I would definately come back.

The location of this hotel is awesome! Quite convenient...no problems there. The issues I have concern noise (drilling early in the am) with no prior warning. (2) Two of my sisters slept on the bunk bed in the room and have bites ALL over their skin. I have pictures that I intend to share with the hotel. I believe there were bed bugs and I'm not pleased with this at all. (3) The AC did not work well.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location is hard to top. However, cleanliness of the room left a bit to be desired. The spare pillow had make up on it, the bathroom wall had visible grime and streaks of dirt, the glasses for water had dust in them, and the iron had water in the tank from a previous guest that spilled in the cupboard.

The good thing about this property is its location. The room for 4 is big but very old and in need of a refurbishment. The worst part for me was the bathroom. There was a persistent disgusting smell and the window could not be opened. We found hair in the sink and the flush would get stuck most of the time.

The staff were wonderful. And the room was spacious and in a great location for walking. I was disappointed in the dirty throw pillows on the bed and chair. It gave a feeling of not being cleaned well even though it was quite clean.

I was very impressed upon arrival with service, cleanliness and room amenities. There were four people in our family and I was happy to have a pretty cool convertible couch to bunk bed option available. However, after my first night I woke up to bed bugs! My amazing trip to Paris was ruined after being bitten all over my body. That same morning I brought a bed bug down to reception and she did not seem very surprised. She said she would do her best to get us into a new room. Upon arrival after exploring for the day we were provided with a new room. We had to pack all our things and we were placed in a smaller room and a pull out couch for the kids. Sleepless nights for me from itching and constantly checking for bed bugs for the rest of our stay. New room had a lot of mold in the bathroom and we could not adjust the heat, so we were sweating every night. Our room door handle constantly fell off on the outer side every time we pulled to close! Very disappointed with this property. Wouldn’t recommend. Looks were very deceiving. Hoping I don’t bring any bedbugs home! Also- worth mentioning that we were placed right below our old room and it was definitely made available to others upon our switch. So horrible! Now to return home to wash/throw away personal items and embarrassed on Easter weekend covered in bites. I need a full refund for this horrible experience for my family.

Loose tiles in the shower on the floor, overall cleanliness was poor.

Great location. It had everything we needed. The room wasn't as clean as I liked. There was a used qtip on the floor of the bathroom. But the service was amazing.

El hotel tiene una ubicación excelente . En sus alrededores hay varios lugares de comer muy recomendados . La habitación muy limpia y comoda. El desayuno muy bueno con pago en el hotel. Me volvería a quedar.

Run down. Things falling apart in rooms. Horrible smell in room!!

We had a lovely view with a small balcony. Our rooms were cleaned daily, and we were greeted every time we entered and exited the hotel!

Nice little hotel. Standard size for Paris so cozy for a couple with a lot of luggage. All was good but the bed was hard by US standards.

Overall this is a great hotel for the price. Hotels in Paris are very expensive, so if you’re looking for a decent and affordable option, I would recommend this hotel. It’s nothing fancy and very small, but it’s in a great location, just steps away from the Louvre and the seine.

Super nice staff. Great location. Room was neat but small. No proper shower. V pricey.

The major issue was no shower curtains in this hotel. It was just the tub. No protection. So getting a shower is a nightmare. When asked from the manager he said it’s the design. However, if you want to have a shower, do not book this hotel. Bathrooms were in bad condition due to this issue. Water all over the floor if you even attempt to take a bath or shower. Friendly staff, great location for major attractions and food choices.

Clean, tidy, stylish and quiet. I would stay here again. Great location and the room was perfect for a short stay.

No view, room was dark; did not eat breakfast

It was exactly what we needed! Our family room had bunk beds for our girls who refuse to share a bed which made this the best place we stayed in Europe! Already booked our next stay!

It was super great! The staff was awesome. The shower was a little weird because it was handheld and couldn't clip it above you. Other than that the place was amazing! Definitely would recommend

Great location, but the room was so small for a family of 4. Cute and quiet, next door to amazing restaurants and café’s. The tiny deck had a great view.

The staff members were extremely helpful with what places to see and where to visit. The breakfast buffet offered a nice variety. Sadly, there wasn’t always scrambled eggs for us to eat. Only 2 mornings on 4 and we liked to fully nourish ourselves before leaving for the day so we could make it to an early supper. Overall though, great experience. We will recommend the hotel and would go back if going to Paris again.

A nice hotel - but sadly let down by the front desk. Miserable, curt and rude. It’s a shame because it’s actually a nice hotel in a good location.

Très bien situé, à deux pas du métro châtelet. Personnel souriant, accueillant. Chambre confortable. Merci à Laurent pour les recommandations touristiques.

This property is in the perfect location (especially if you are visiting Paris for the first time). I think you get a TON of value for your money given the proximity to tourist attractions, metro stops, and great dining options. The folks that work here are helpful and kind. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay again on my next trip to Paris.

Unfriendly staff

Excellent location and even better service.

The room was ok although not very soundproof. The location is great. I left early morning (just before 5am) and was startled by an employee sleeping in the lobby's sofa when I came downstairs to leave. Unfortunately, this tainted my entire experience at this hotel as I believe it is completely unacceptable behavior from an employee (they had a pillow and blanket and all the lights were shut off as if this was a routine accommodation for them)

Nice and clean hotel, very convenient area, very commercial with shops, restaurants and metro stations all around. AWFUL staff!!!! The lady that received us in the morning was so rude with such attitude, she made us feel unwelcome and stupid, zero helpful she was just horrendous... unlike the gentleman from the other shift, he was very nice and attentive, just because of her i would NOT stay in this hotel never again!!!

During the week we stayed there, we saw at least 7 different people manning the one-man front desk. One was friendly and helpful. The others hardly spoke a word.

Amazing hotel, great location for exploring Paris

Great value hotel close to the river and multiple dining and bar options. Excellent location!

Clean room. Very friendly staff. Good location. Only negative was the noise from outside at night.

Amazing location near the Louvre on a private street. Clean room with a bunk bed for the kiddos. Nearby parking in a garage available. Easy access to bus and trains and walk to the Seine is across the street.

Hotel is comfortable for a Paris 3-star and in a great location. Sadly the street stinks of urine all the time and the homeless seem to like to sleep close to here. Staff are not super customer friendly, except for one gentleman (the manager?) who was very pleasant.

Quiet area, nice hotel, very good location for tourism, metro station really close... Worth it.

Custo benefício excelente. Localização perfeita

El hotel tiene una ubicación excelente . En sus alrededores hay varios lugares de comer muy recomendados . La habitación muy limpia y comoda. El desayuno muy bueno con pago en el hotel. Me volvería a quedar.

地下鉄やRERの中心駅の近くでどこに行くにも便利。セーヌ川河畔を散歩やジョギングしやすく、歩いて美術館巡りもしやすい。

great hotel, great location, easy place to transport

Breakfast was amazing and affordable, rooms were clean and orderly. Will stay again!

The location is excellent and close to tube station. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but okay. They are freezing cold though and the heating did not have any affect on the room temperature unfortunately. The breakfast is not worth the money.

We were 'upgraded' on arrival to a room with a balcony, but the steps to the balcony reduced the available space in the room. We asked for a downgrade and ended up with a bigger room on the first floor without balcony. But beware the AC units. They only seem to pump out hot air. Opening the window results in being woken by street noise at some unearthly hour. The staff on reception were super friendly and helpful. However, the staff on breakfast duty were not particularly efficient at topping up drink items and one of them was also pretty sharp and unfriendly. She definitely did not enjoy her job. A bigger variety of fruit at breakfast would be nice. Oranges appeared to be rationed to one a day, to whichever guest took it first. But we would certainly stay there again.

La habitacion estuvo bien, el desayuno muy poca variedad, lo mismo cada dia, el elevador rs muy pequeño

Good size room, great location, breakfast good

Excelente hotel, excelente ubicación, personal muy amable y excelente desayuno.

Just stayed here recently and wanted to be at a hotel that was in the vicinity of the Louvre, had good restaurant options, and was able to handle a family of four comfortably. We ended up with an adjoining room type situation that worked well for us. The restaurants in the vicinity were great, and it was very close to shopping areas as well. The train station is a three-minute walk and is also very convenient. The term "buffet-breakfast" should not be taken seriously as there were just breads, jams and a couple of fruit options. We ended up going to a local restaurant (Café Benjamin) for breakfast. The space itself was very clean and the front desk staff was helpful and hospitable.

Staff was very nice. I felt like we were an inconvenience to the breakfast staff
