Hôtel Henri IV Rive Gauche

Great breakfast. Great location. Fabulous staff

Sabrina, represented the property well, very accommodating helping these two lost americans find their way around. We give her TEN STARS!

Great location for walking distance to Notre Dame, the Siene, and the Louvre. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Large beautiful room! Great location.

The best thing about this hotel is its convenient location, in the Latin Quarter just a couple blocks from Notre Dame and even less distance from the RER (train) station bringing you from CDG airport. There are numerous restaurants within a couple blocks, and a small market just outside the door (fresh berries!). Despite that central location, it is incredibly quiet -- we heard no traffic, just the occasional siren from the local police, who seem extra fond of their sirens. While the room and bathroom were both pretty spacious by European standards, the carpet was stained and the amenities were not commensurate with a 3-star hotel: we were issued 2 tiny slivers of soap (see photo) and a shower-mounted bottle of "shampoo". When we asked for additional soap (to wash our hands in the sink), the woman receptionist objected that we could use that shower shampoo as body soap. How expensive can that tiny bar of soap be?!? On the other hand, the towel warmers were a nice touch, and there were 2 closets on either side of the bed. The night receptionist was FAR more helpful, giving us tips on how to get to the airport, particularly a well-hidden elevator to the RER station (we had big bags and there's no escalator!). We chose to get breakfast at one of the nearby restaurants rather than the hotel's breakfast. Surprisingly, there's a paucity of nearby bakeries that are open before 10 am! In Paris?!? Sacre bleu!!
