Hotel Raphael - Luxury Stay in Paris

What guests think

At Hotel Raphael, guests consistently praise friendly, professional service and characterful, often spacious rooms—some with memorable Eiffel Tower views—while noting age-related wear, intermittent maintenance or climate-control issues, and occasional closures affecting the rooftop or bar.

The location is widely regarded as walkable to major sights, shopping and the metro. Cleanliness impressions vary, with some spotless stays but others citing stained carpets or bathroom odors. Dining feedback is mixed, ranging from excellent restaurant and room service to limited or average breakfasts and temporary restaurant, rooftop or early bar closures. Expect classic Parisian style and attentive service, with some trade‑offs in modernity and availability.

The Hotel and service was excellent. My only disappointment was the internet which was very slow. I do trading so I found it necessary to buy a French Sim in order to be able to get proper access to the internet. This should be addressed since it spoils the whole 5 star experience

Overall the property is very old. The carpet in the room has all kinds of stains it’s quite gross. The room also smells weird. We were there in January and even we turned the heater to max was still very cold in the room. Gym is so tiny. Impossible to workout.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquil ambiance of this hotel. It exudes charm and sophistication with its antique furniture and 1920s theme. The Wi-Fi connection is excellent, and the staff are incredibly accommodating. However, it’s important to note that there are no pool or spa facilities, and the TV offers only a limited selection of channels, primarily news channels.

This used to be a good hotel, but condition deteriorated and service has gotten to be very bad. This is August and A/C don’t work, internet keeps cutting out, in-room dining can’t get orders straight, hotel has restaurant, but guests not allowed to order from it for in-room dining. Carpet in rooms has to be 30 years old, bathrooms are deplorable. Horribly managed now.

I have stayed at this property many times before for the roof top terrace and the location. After bookng this hotel at a big premium during the olympics, I found out the roof top was bought out during my entire stay. The hotel is in serious need of a remodel. The plumbing, fixtures, furniture and carpets are not in good shape. Normally, I book the president suite which is not in as bad of a condition. Had I know the roof top was not available, I would have booked another hotel. And for my next trip, I will book a different hotel. Hopefully, the hotel will remodel in the near future because I do love the staff, the size of the hotel, and location.

Hôtel bien situé mais désuet dans ses équipements. Les réfrigérateurs datent et sont remplis de givre, le réglage de l'air conditionné n'est pas précis, les canapés et fauteuil sont douteux (cheveux, miettes,...), pas de machine à café dans des chambres dites Premium mais des sticks et une bouilloire, de mémoire de 5 étoiles , je n'ai jamais vu cela. La chambre n'étai pas prête à mon arrivée à 15 heures, il a fallu attendre 40 minutes, sur le balcon des feuilles, des mégots de cigarette... Je ne retournerai pas surtout à un tel tarif. Cet hôtel a besoin d'un sérieux rafraichissement. Le personnel est par contre serviable et charmant.

Pontos negativos: ausência de informação sobre itens disponíveis no café da manhã que não estão expostos, o carpete do quarto um pouco sujo e o banheiro que necessita de uma reforma. No mais, excelente! Tive uma ótima hospedagem.

Sometimes boutique hotels aren't as great in terms of beds and bathroom space. Hotel Raphael has comfortable beds and large bathrooms. There is also tons of closet space. The food in the restaurant and room service was fantastic. The neighborhood is also clean, safe, and an easy walk to great shopping and restaurants - all while avoiding the crowds of more touristy neighborhoods. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Paris.

It was old historical beautiful hotel. I felt I am staying royalty property. Just one thing. There is no soundproof. I was even able to hear someone got up for bathroom use in the middle of night. I am not sensitive at all, but it was that much loud 😢 And floor is carpet which is very very old. If you are sensitive or allergic to carpet, maybe ask to hotel for different room? Otherwise beautiful! Oh! Breakfast was phenomenal as well. I miss it already.

Overall it’s a wonderful hotel and location and the staff is superb! I think the rooms mainly the living and bedroom areas need major renovations to freshen up the space. The carpets, sofa, drapes were all quite worn and better use of the space would make it so much more special especially at the cost.

If you are looking for a hotel in one of the most prestigious areas of Paris, you can stop your search if you are reading this review. Hôtel Raphael is an incredibly beautiful and historic hotel with an amazing and attentive staff. If your stay in Paris needs to be special, this is the place. We stayed in room 608 and it was incredible. The size of the suite is that is a nice apartment in Paris and the views of the Eiffel Tower from your own private terrace ( and bed) are near beyond words! This is the place that you have been looking for.

And every member of staff we met was so helpful and professional.
