Merveil - Luxury Suite - Tour Eiffel - Laos

We traveled for a 6-night vacation with my family of six; 2 adult, 2 teens, 2 elementary school. First the shortcomings (not many) There is only one toilet. So that can get tricky. There are two showers. One is a bathtub with a shower handle. The water heater ran out of hot water the first morning. My kids were flexible so they did showers at night the rest of the trip and it wasn’t an issue anymore. The front room had a bit of a warp in the floor. Maybe old water damage. If you’re particular about being able to slide across the hardwood in your socks then maybe that’s a problem, but it didn’t bother us. There isn’t a ton of closet space but we emptied our suitcases and nested them so we could conserve space. If you had six full-size bags you’d notice congestion. That’s it. The rest is good. Oh, I think I heard the metro either under the street nearby or on the tracks, but it never woke me. I could just tell sometimes when it was quiet that there was periodically a low rumble coming from somewhere. I wouldn’t let this stop me from booking this location! The location is great. Lots of cafes and restaurants close by. The metro and bus are just blocks away. The proximity to the park is wonderful and it feels very safe in the neighborhood and the building is secure. If you’ve got small kids there is a playground just a couple blocks away in view of the Eiffel tower. The beds are comfortable with nice pillows and blankets. The kitchen had everything (except a cutting board, or at least I never found one). We never cooked. Just used the fridge for some leftovers and to chill a bottle of wine. The towels were big and we had plenty for us all. The showers had soap and shampoo for us too. I don’t think there was anything we had to supply that wasn’t already thought of by the host. There was even laundry detergent so we didn’t have to pack a lot of extra clothes. Just washed the kids stuff. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the room. Most days we were out from breakfast to bedtime exploring the city. We only came home one night to eat take out and to watch the PSG v Munich soccer match, but the Canal+ broadcast cut out. Probably not anything to do with the property, as all the other stations worked. We were a bit nervous with 4 kids that they might be noisy and cause us to lose the €1000 deposit, but I haven’t heard any complaints from the manager.
