Henriette Rive Gauche

This little hotel is exactly how I would decorate my house if I had the time to track down vintage pieces and the money for expensive light fittings! It’s beautifully decorated.
Affordable by Parisian standards, the rooms were 110 Euro a night, and a free decent breakfast was included because we booked on their website.
It’s not extremely central, and I was advised by Parisian friends not to stay in this area as it can be a bit dodgy. However we enjoyed the 30 min walk to Central Paris each day (working off those croissants!) and we didn’t have any trouble in the area.
We got asked at check out to please write a review online of the business «but only if we’re giving 5 stars» which kind of took a little bit of the joy away from the stay when you’re being hassled into writing a positive review. However I was going to give them 5 stars anyway, but I did contemplating taking a star off due to them telling us that we should only do so if it was a 5 star review.
