Hotel de la Trémoille is a quaint little hotel about a block off Avenue George V. It has the sort of understated elegance that I appreciate in Paris. No pretentiousness or obsequience that serves no purpose other than to justify exhorbitant rates. My room was described as «quiet.» It was very quiet. This meant it did not face the street and had no view whatever. It barely even had windows. If you want a room with a view and they tell you that they assigned you a «quiet» room, ask them for a noisier one. Bear in mind that this is not a tall building and is not located on a broad thoroughfare. So even the noisier rooms will not be all that noisy and will not have much of a view. I usually sleep with my eyes closed anyway, so the view is not a big feature for me. If I want a view, I will go for a walk. On that score, Hotel de la Trémoille is well situated off Avenue George V roughly halfway between Champs-Élysées and the Seine. The rooms are small, but this is pretty standard in Paris. At the Hotel de la Trémoille, at least everything works as it should. Having everything work as it should is definitely not standard for Paris hotels. I recommend this hotel. I regard it as a gem.

I would give this place 3.5 stars. If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times. It’s all about location, location, location! Since we had plans to meet family, we chose this hotel because it is a perfect location for touristy stuff. Close to the metro, close to the Champs Elysee and if you’re on the higher floors(we were not) you get a smashing view of the Eiffel Tower. No matter, as we got a lovely view of it every day and night as we walked to the closest metro, Alma-Marceau, which is 3 blocks away. We were shown to our room, which was a bit small and dark, facing another building. As we walked down the hallway, I could smell stale cigarette smoke. Warning for people with allergies, cigarette sensitivities or those who just can’t stand the smell. We asked for another room and got a much airier one. And the hallway on this floor did not smell of cigarettes at all. The room was small but cozy. The bed, very comfortable. The bathtub/shower had what looked like a Molton Brown Bar — there were 6 different bottles of bath and shower gel to choose from. Definitely a nice perk. The wi-fi here… although free, was shoddy at best, so very frustrating if you are planning on doing some work. The staff here are extremely nice and helpful.

Such a stunning hotel. The staff are there for your every night, and there’s even a little hatch to have breakfast in bed without being disturbed. The rooms are beautiful and the choice of Molton and Brown shower gel is quite amazing. Has a really great location too.
