HÔTEL WALLACE ^{* * *}

This hotel, located in a fairly central area, offers reasonable prices, with a stay costing £400 for three nights in the first half of February. The rooms and overall establishment maintain cleanliness and tidiness, featuring comfortable beds in quiet rooms, ensuring a restful stay. However, it's important to note that our room (201) experienced an issue with food odors coming through the air vents, necessitating the windows to be kept open. Without this inconvenience, the hotel could easily have earned a five-star rating from us, given its price and location. I should finally mention that this hotel is featured on specialised booking service Mr. and Mrs. Smith - which is what made me consider Le Wallace in the first place.

The hotel's staff generally speak very little English, which might pose a challenge for non-French speaking guests. Despite this, the bar staff are notably friendly, contributing to the bar's calm and quiet atmosphere, although it lacks liveliness. The gym, while clean, is minimally equipped with just two treadmills, one rowing machine, two sets of stackable dumbbells (up to approximately 12 kg), one low resistance band, and a few yoga mats. The breakfast stands out for its good assortment of sweet and savory pastries, alongside fruits, homemade granola, plain yogurt, and cheeses.

The hotel is strategically situated close to the Eiffel Tower and serves as an excellent base for exploring. Just behind the hotel, guests can find the 'bateau mouches' for a scenic river cruise, and it's also conveniently near the Avenue Emile Zola metro stop, the Hotel des Invalides, and perfect for walks or runs along the Seine. However, the nearby Vla Croix Nivert area, with its projects and 'semi-social' housing complexes, warrants caution, especially at night, though it's small and easily avoidable.

The surrounding area can feel quite 'dead' and potentially unsafe at night, making the hotel a practical choice primarily as a base for daytime excursions to more vibrant and glamorous locales.

Tips:
Sharma Ji: Located just 400m away, this newly-opened Indian restaurant is incredible, with friendly staff and accolades from the Michelin app.

O Coffee: About 650m away, this local favorite is excellent for breakfast and brunch, famous for its French toast and eggs benedict, though it gets very busy on weekends.

프랑스에서 5일을 묵었는데요! 작은방을 예약한게 후회될정도로 가성비 짱이였어요????????????????
에펠탑도 가깝고 지하철 역들이랑도 가까워서 좋아요!!
길건너 빵집이 진짜 유명한 빵집이더라구요! 조식이 없을땨는 거기서 빵을 사먹었습니다!!
직원분들도 모두 친절하고 필터샤워기를 가지규 갓는데 여기서는 색깔이 안변할정도로 수도관이 깨끗한거 같더라구요!!
조식도 너무 맛있었고 즐거운 여행이 될수 있는 숙소였습니다.

Great design with a smart room layout, all at a good price for Paris. The area is tranquil yet conveniently close to key attractions. The hotel boasts a distinct character in its overall design and features a nice bar/lounge area along with a cool rooftop. Although the gym is minimal, it's well-equipped. Additionally, the hotel offers a private workspace. The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful, and room insulation is excellent, likely due to triple-glazed windows, ensuring a quiet environment.

Une ambiance agréable, un service de qualité, j’ai passé une superbe soirée au bar de l’hôtel. Petite mention à Elsa qui a été aux petits soins pour nous. Je recommande et vous invite à faire un tour pour boire des supers cocktails !

Accueil très chaleureux et très juste. Je me suis senti attendu. Chambre très propre.
