Hôtel du Levant

The location of this hotel is both a plus and a minus. It is close/easy walking distance to Notre Dame and other must see sites, but it is in a very touristy part of Paris. If you are wanting a lively, energetic Paris experience, this is the location for you. If you are craving a quieter, more how the locals live stay, then find a place near the catacombs. The staff was so kind and helpful. They even allowed my sisiter- who was not staying at the hotel- to store her luggage for the day in the lobby.

Plussat: Location and helpful staff- plus the included breakfast was amazing and so convenient. If your French is non existent (like mine), the staff will be a huge help without making you feel bad about your lack of language skills.

Miinukset: Location and small rooms. The rooms are very small- don't bring large suitcases- but I think this is typical in Paris.
