Le Walt

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. My husband and I went to Paris in early September for four days. This had been his first time but my third, and Le Walt was by far the best stay.
First impression: Like most European hotels, the lobby area is very small, but organized well. The check in desk, ready with Eiffel Tower gummies, is just to the right, with the computer «lounge» (some furniture and a laptop) is to the left. Just a few steps forward and you’ll be in the breakfast area and bar. Everything is very modern and fashionable. The man at the desk, Robert I think, was very friendly and spoke English. He was able to give us a room with a view and balcony without an extra charge since it was our anniversary trip, and let us have an early check in, even though it was a few hours before 3 pm.
Location: I can’t think of a more convenient place to stay. The Ecole Militaire stop, Ligne 8 (which connects to most of the other lines you’ll need), is literally just outside the hotel door. Nearby are a host of restaurants ranging from fine dining to fast & casual. Across the street were two groceries stores, and two doors down was a delicious bakery. There don’t seem to be many hotels in this area, which I always think is good, since you get a more authentic feeling of being in France. Also, just three blocks southwest and you’ll find yourself at the Ecole Militaire and the Eiffel Tower. If you don’t mind walking, this place is in easy reach of Musee d’Orsay, as well as the boat cruises that launch from the Eiffel Tower. Pont de l’Alma was also just a few blocks away, which is great if you need to use the RER (we used RER C to get to Versailles, and it was so much easier than booking a coach). And half a block over, there is a place to rent/​return bikes if you wish. For drivers, there is paid parking just outside the hotel, but I imagine it would be pretty expensive if used for an extended period of time.
Room: We were placed on the 5^th floor, which gave us a gorgeous view. Smaller than your average American hotel room, but definitely enough room for two people. Robert told us that the 6^th floor rooms offered a full view of the Eiffel Tower, but were smaller. Our bathroom was spacious and also opened to the balcony. The hairdryer was a bit weird; a tube with an opening on the side, which made it kind of difficult to hold when you used it for a while since it got a bit hot. I ended up using a hand towel to hold it. The glass wall for the shower didn’t quite extend for enough to shield the floor from the splashing, but house cleaning took care of that every day. There was a towel warmer in the bathroom as well, but we never used it. I’m glad that the fridge wasn’t one of those computerized ones, where moving something meant an automatic charge, since it allowed us to store our own drinks & food without worrying about that. We enjoyed the huge painting over bed, even though it was kind of funny to see a creepy little girl stare at you every morning. There was a medium sized flat screen TV which had a few channels in English, Italian, etc.
Service: Everybody was tremendously nice and helpful. Maps are available by request at the desk. When we mentioned it was our anniversary in the reservation process, they gave us complimentary champagne and made sure to congratulate us on arrival. I saw a range of guests, from young American couples like us, to older Europeans with families. I appreciated that, no matter what the appearance (sometimes my husband dresses like his inner skater punk kid), the staff treated everybody equally well.
Misc: We didn’t partake in the breakfasts, as it was too easy to get breakfast elsewhere and nearby for less than their offered 17 €. There is an offer of an abbreviated meal to-​go for 7. Breakfast is the only meal they offer on site, though I think I read that they also offer room service throughout the day. Each day, they update the weather forecast via a card posted in their elevator. The doors were open even late, so we didn’t have to worry about being locked out when we returned past midnight.
I hope to stay there again if I return to Paris!

This is a perfect example of a boutique hotel in Paris. Located in the 7^th Arrondissement by the Eiffel Tower and the Hotel Des Invalides, this property boasts a prime spot in an area of some prime real estate. We absolutely loved the fact that right across the street was a market complete with anything your heart desired, bread, cheese, produce, chocolate, wine, etc., etc.
Though small, the décor was well thought out and they made wonderful use of the space they had creating a lovely breakfast eating area and a charming courtyard. Tres chic. Check-​in was a breeze especially since we arrived in the morning jet lagged and ready for a nap. We immediately got our room key and off we went to our room. Though the room was small, it had ample space to store our luggage plus the bathroom was quite spacious with excellent storage which is often hard to find in European cities. We loved the fact that all the beds in the hotel had headboards that actually were huge canvas replicas of famous art that could be found in the Louvre. In addition the two french doors when opened made our space feel larger and it was wonderful to let in the sights, sounds, and smells of Paris.
We decided on a classic room rather than the deluxe, the differences between the two was size and location (many deluxe rooms faced the courtyard). Although the room was noisy when the windows were opened, the glass was so well insulated that when closed, it was super quiet and peaceful. Next time, we will try a deluxe, as we always appreciate some extra space.
Breakfast was a Parisian dream, so nicely presented. Fruits, juices, yogurts, croissants, french bread, pastries, nuts, granola, salmon, prosciutto, ham, eggs, etc., etc. And of course freshly brewed to order espresso coffee. What’s not to like?
Service could not be more warm or friendly. Everyone aimed to please and genuinely treated you with kindness and respect. We loved it here. Merci, Le Walt, Merci.

Loved everything about this place: location, staff, quality of rooms, views, cleanliness, quiet. Highly recommend!

Great location, very romantic and walking distance to many nice restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at this incredible boutique hotel. I would defiantly recommend this place to someone visiting Paris.

We stayed in Paris for 2 nights/​3 days before a tour of the country. Le Walt was an outstanding base and we could see the top if the eiffel tower from our room! Bonus :) The hotel is clean, conveniently located, has cafes and the metro just outside. The neighborhood is quiet and just lovely. The staff are outstanding. All speak english and were patient with our questions. Dinner recommendations never disappointed. We were accommodated when we arrived at 7am local time. They stowed our bags and confirmed our itinerary looked fabulous for a great day in Paris. They even called the airline to help get our lost bags recovered, which actually showed up the next day!
The couple we traveled with ate breakfast in Le Walt cozy eating area each morning and said it was outstanding. My husband and I would go around the corner to the café across from the military campus and sip cappuccinos and hot chocolates while people watching.
Thank you so much to the staff and management at Le Walt, we had such a delightful and memorable time in Paris… Merci beaucoup! Xxoo

Most charming Little boutique hotel I have ever stayed in Europe. My Room #602 had the most amazing view of Eiffel tower. Even the bathroom had a large window with Eiffel tower view, you can take a bath while sipping on champagne watching the Eiffel tower light glowing, such a unique experience. Rooms are not big but that is very typical staying Anywhere in Paris however it is very clean and comfortable. Staff was so amazing and nice and spoke great English and helped us with any question or food suggestions.
Our room included with breakfast (not all packages includes breakfast)…we enjoyed freshly baked baguettes and croissants with eggs and smoked salmon plus lots of cheese variety. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and LE WALT will be my only place to stay when I come back to Paris.

Hands down, best hotel my husband and I stayed at during our 2 weeks trip in Europe! We booked an executive room through
for 2 nights, and while we didn’t get an Eiffel Tower view like I’d hoped for, it was still a great stay. The staff is super friendly and helpful (yes, they speak English) – Pierre helped us change a dinner reservation we’d made, and upon check-​out Le Walt had the only staff that asked us how we enjoyed our stay with them/​in Paris. Small things like that make a big impression on me. Location wise, it’s very convenient. It’s a short walk to the Eiffel Tower, short metro ride to many other places (e.g. there’s a Change «office» right outside the Opera station, which is just around 3 – 5 stops away on the #8), a Carrefour across the street with the cheapest Evian price we’d seen, and a good place to get dinner at next door. One thing I did notice, though, was being right by the metro station I think we heard some of the rumblings from it. Not a big deal, however, as it stops running at 12:30 and it’s too quiet to wake you up in the morning (I’m a light sleeper too). Last piece of advice, if you don’t get breakfast at the hotel I would not recommend going to Boulanger a couple stores down. Not very good bread, and not very warm service either, though I’ll admit their Opera cake was tasty.

I booked my room on hotwire, I wanted a place that was in the middle of all the great things Paris has to offer, so I requested somewhere near to the Eiffel Tower. Of course with Hotwire you don’t know who you are getting until you have paid/​booked the room. The Hotel I was provided was the Le Walt. I checked out their web site which seemed fine but the reviews were mixed. When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted by the staff, we checked in and got to our room. This is a botique hotel with only 25 rooms and is within a 15 minute walk of the Eiffel Tower. We got to our room and opened the french doors and we had a direct view of the Eiffel Tower! It was fabulous! The bed was comfortable and even though we were on the 3^rd floor above a very busy street, the windows kept 90% of the noise out. The Hotwire deal did not include breakfast but that did not matter as there is within ½ block in each direction some fabulous bakeries and a nice supermarket right across the street! A great find for our first time visiting Paris!

This place is amazing. It is small, quaint and very French. The staff is very helpful, all are fluent in English. It is in a lovely neighborhood with residences and businesses around. Great food and nightlife abound. There is a Metro stop just outside so it is very convenient. It is in a residential area so it is fairly quiet.

Very attractive and clean little 4-​star boutique hotel extremely well-​located next to the Ecole Militaire Metro stop in the 7^th arrondissement. Check-​in was a breeze, and the young woman at the desk could not have been nicer (plus it is just a desk, not a reception area, which is a nice change).
The room was a decent size for the lowest rate they offered on a Saturday night stay in September. The bed was very comfortable and the headboard was a very oversize portrait. The wood floors were very chic, too. Consdering that the street and nearby intersection are quite busy, the noise level in my second-​floor, street-​view room was quite tolerable and I slept soundly.
The bathroom was all white with a glass counter and stainless steel sink. I liked that the glass shower half-​screen was wide enough so that the room did not flood as is the case when showering in most other Parisian hotels. The toiletries were L’Occitane (no conditioner or washcloths to be found, though).
The evening desk guy took a while to warm up to, but he was very pleasant and helpful when all was said and done.
The TV only offered English channels that didn’t work, and the price for a smaller room was a bit steep ($ 366 all in, but this is Paris), but overall I enjoyed my stay at Le Walt and would return.

Ce très bel hotel n’est qu’à 2 minutes à pieds du Champ de Mars et de sa Tour Eiffel ou des Invalides. La charmante rue Clerc est juste en face. (très sympa pour prendre un café en terrasse) et le métro Ecole Militaire est juste devant l’hotel. Beaucoup de bars sympas et de très bons restaurants dans le quartier. L’hotel propose un décor moderne et design. Tout a été refait il y a cinq ans environ. Le personnel est très serviable. Les chambres né sont pas extrêmement spacieuses mais leur taille suffit amplement et la salle de bains est très bien.
C’est parfait pour un long WE touristique à Paris.

Sourire et délices
Dans un joli décor contemporain, tout neuf, la petite salle à manger de cet hôtel né manqué pas de charme. Le jeune Chef Eric Boriès sait faire plaisir aux clients et sa Cuisine aux saveurs du Sud arrive à séduire les plus sceptiques, car ce n’est pas chose facile que d’attirer les clients dans un restaurant d’hôtel autre qu’un Palace. La présence souriante de Paméla incite à la fidélité. Mais lorsqu’elle est absente …

Un hôtel de charme aux pieds de la Tour Eiffel
Je cherchais un hôtel pour ma famille américaine en séjour à Paris, qui voulait être à deux pas de la Tour Eiffel. Le Walt a ouvert récemment, et Pamela la directrice et la propriétaire a accueilli ma famille comme si c’était la sienne. C’est un vrai hôtel de charme: convivialité, service personnalisé, chaleureuse ambiance… Le tout dans un cadre contemporain, assez design mais qui reste chaleureux… À recommander le restaurant également.
