Hotel de l’Empereur

Although I found the hotel very quaint with a quiet neighborhood and convenient location to the metro, it was much smaller and had more «rules» than I expected (see below). The front desk was polite enough, though seemed to just take care of the bare minimum for us in terms of logistical issues like check-​in or helping with dinner reservations. Being my husband’s and my first time in Paris, I was hoping for more warmth and friendliness in our interactions.
I thought the room was a decent size and the bathroom well-​appointed. The shower was extremely hot, though, and hard to adjust to a comfortable temperature sometimes. I did not like that the windows didn’t have screens to keep out the bugs, especially since we enjoyed the fresh air; we did get some mosquitoes in our room a couple nights and got bitten so be forewarned. Air conditioning is not strong, but decent.
One thing I found very annoying was on a SUNDAY at 8:22 in the MORNING as I was lying awake quietly in bed (my husband still sleeping), a person who I can only assume was the maid walked into our room without knocking or even announcing she was coming in! My instinct caused me to sit up suddenly in the bed and at that point she just slammed the door quickly without apologizing. There is no «Do Not Disturb» sign for the doors. Speaking of doors, the walls are quite thin and you can hear conversations and doors closing (even gently) in the halls. Thankfully we did not hear any other distracting noises.
Other quirks of this hotel are having to leave your room key at the door before you leave, the very tiny elevator (not even enough to fit 2 people and their suitcases in one trip), no food or eating allowed in the rooms, no ice, no fridge to keep water cold (though you can pay 2 euros for a small Evian in the vending machine), and if you want to iron something, you have to go downstairs to the lobby/​cafeteria area and do it there with everyone watching you while they eat breakfast. Very awkward.
I’m sure these are standard policies for smaller Parisian hotels, but looking back, I probably would have been more comfortable staying at a larger, more modern, upscale chain hotel that doesn’t subject its patrons to what I feel are inconvenient policies and absurdly early maid service. People are on vacation and may want to sleep in a little some days. I felt paranoid the entire time she would open the door when I was still dressing.
If you are looking for the charming-​mom-​and-​pop hotel experience, this place may be for you. No offense to this hotel at all, but being used to places like Hyatt or Park Plaza, we thought we would try something different (i.e., small). And though we weren’t unhappy with our stay, our conclusion is we probably should have chosen something bigger and more commercial in the heart of the city. That’s just us.
Judge for yourself and decide.

Es fällt mir etwas schwer dieses Hotel zu bewerten, aber ich werde es versuchen.
Am Wochenende war der Geburtstag von meinem Freund und wir wollten in einem etwas schöneren Hotel bleiben in der Nähe von etwas mehr touristischen Attraktionen. Der Grund dafür war, dass wir am nächsten Tag die Louvre besichtigen wollten und natürlich etwas mehr «in-​der-​Action» sein wollten.
Preislich war es eigentlich schon recht teuer, als wir es über
buchten. Angekommen, sah es ‘schnuckelig’ aus, aber meiner Vorstellung nach schien es auf der Website auch etwas größer. Aber naja, Paris eben… die Hotels und Zimmer sind klein, schon dran gewöhnt. Der Aufzug mal wieder eine Katastrophe. Ich kann wirklich nicht verstehen wieso diese kleinen Aufzüge überhaupt existieren, wo nur 1 Person reinpasst…
Eingecheckt, Zimmerkarte bekommen bin ich hoch aufs Zimmer. Auf dem ersten Anblick wirklich schön und edel, jedoch wieder ziemlich klein. Die Lage jedoch ist wirklich perfekt, genau hinter dem Musée de L’Armee und ein paar Minuten entfernt vom Eiffel Turm.
Zum Abendessen raus, einen Spaziergang gemacht und wieder zurückgekehrt ins Hotel zum schlafen… doch leider konnten wir nicht richtig schlafen. Die Wände sind wie Papier und haben gar keine Isolation, sodass man alles, wirklich alles hört und mitbekommt. Sogar Geräusche die wir am liebsten nicht mitbekommen hätten…
Für das Geld was wir gezahlt haben war es wirklich sehr enttäuschend. Da kenne ich bessere Hotels!

I am writing this review with mixed feelings. The hotel is well located about 15 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower in a nice part of Paris. The rooms are nicely decorated. Our room was luxurious with a big bathroom with rain shower. Staff were friendly. So far so good.
Normally I would give this hotel 4 stars for the price.
However my girlfriend and I both slept miserably due to noise issues. The sound insulation in the rooms is horrible probably due to the age of the building.
All night we could hear people walking up the staircase, opening and closing doors or partaking in other nightly activities. It was so bad that we couldn’t sleep until the early hours of the morning. It is not normal to hear everything that’s happening in the other rooms and stairwell.
As a result I am giving this hotel three stars. We spent a lot of money for a sleepless night.

Lovely place – the staff was friendly, and the rooms were perfect – obviously recently redone with beautiful bathrooms and cozy, nicely decorated rooms. We booked this last minute – the day of check-​in – because our original accommodations were less than acceptable, and were very pleasantly surprised by the stark contrast of this place! Though a bit of a walk to the nearest Metro stop, we didn’t mind, as we did a lot of walking. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I’m not sure why it’s rated a bed & breakfast on here, but it is a proper hotel. It is quaint but very charming, with an extremely friendly staff and an incredible location, walking distance from most main attractions and within a block or two of some of the best dining in Paris!
The rooms, as I mentioned, are small but very clean and well-​designed. They have central air and ours had a great view of the Invalides from the fifth floor. The rooms also have flat panel tvs with cable (not that you need it in this city!) and spacious, modern bathrooms.
There were some quirks we didn’t love, such as having to give our room key to the front desk when we left and not being allowed to opt out of maid service, but these didn’t detract from our stay nor do they prevent me from giving a 5 star review because I really don’t think you can get a better hotel for the money in Paris and it really helped make our vacation extra special.

Hotel très bien situe très bon accueil très propre entièrement refait a neuf, wifi, coffre-​fort, sèche-​cheveux, possibilité d’avoir une vue sûre le dôme des invalide pour un 2 étoiles rient a dire

My colleagues has booked our group at a ritzier hotel, well, near the Ritz. It was expensive. My wife and I relocated here after we’d finished the work portion of the trip. For ½ the price, we got a bigger room, (with a view), better breakfast, better service and free wifi. Its a great location, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I have no plans to stay on the other side of the river again.

Initially, I had been disappointed that I could not get a reservation at Hotel Muguet but was encouraged to make a reservation at the sister hotel, l’Empereur. I was traveling with a long-​time friend and had attended a cooking school in the south of France. We arrived from Provence in the early afternoon to discover a friendly desk clerk who gave us our key to a most wonderful room. I had paid a little extra for a room with a view and what a view it was! We were on the 5^th level with a straight-​on view of the dome. The room was spotlessly clean, the bed comfortable, with a separate wc from the modern and remodeled bathroom. The décor is chic and the bathroom is well-​lit and contemporary. Even the bathroom had a grand view. To have a real shower in France is a treat and this was a rainshower type. The elevator is teeny-​tiny but can comfortably handle two/​three people or one with luggage. The lobby is simple. We did not take part in having the hotel breakfast but ventured over to nearby Rue Cler for breakfast. The metro is nearby at La Tour Malbourg. The walk to the Eiffel Tower is an easy one. This hotel is well-​situated and is in a safe area.

Cet hôtel avec une déco style empire, a la plupart de ses chambres donnant sur le dôme des Invalides ! Et pourtant ce n’est qu’un hotel 2 étoiles !
Les amoureux apprécieront particulièrement ce petit luxe !
Il y a également séche-​cheveux, minibar et modem: pour les occupations de chacun !

Assez sympa
Pour un deux étoiles les chambres sont sympas dans son style empire bien sur. mais choississez les chambres rénovées si vous avez le choix car celles ci sont typiques dans leurs styles empires. tres chouette! Il faut aimer c’est sur!!! Comptez de 70 à 80 euros la nuit et 5,60 le petit dej…
