Le Relais Saint Honoré

The LOCATION is the number one attraction of this hotel. This was my family's first time to Paris but not our first to Europe. We stayed for three nights during the peak season, fully booked, $$$$. It was hard as we'd normally pay this amount for a five-star hotel and there certainly were some that were cheaper than this hotel but the location is UNBEATABLE unless you want to stay at the Mandarin Oriental down the block for about 4X the price. If this is your first time to Paris, be aware of the crime that can happen, generally, the 1st Arr is the best zone to stay in. Make sure to research which zone you would like to stay in as Paris is separated by zones. The hotel is very charming and well-kept when you walk through the lobby or past it on the street. There is a Carriefour Express across the street which is basically a better version of Seven-Eleven with more selections. If you are a shopper and plan to take advantage of the VAT refunds, this hotel is less than a 10 minute walk to some of the stores nearby such as LV, Goyard, Chanel, etc. Very convenient to drop the bags off into the room after making the purchases. Also, the Louvre is right next door, PRIME LOCATION. Many public transportation options. I did not use the metro at all as there were four of us in the family and the total cost of Uber ended up being cheaper than total cost of riding metro/transferring metros/buses/RERs lol. The thermostat is by far one of the best I have ever worked with compared to my share of hotels, very responsive.

The housekeeping lady is very nice and was always happy to help us in any case. She certainly gave us an amazing first and lasting impression as the rooms were kept well. Management should really invest in replacing the rugs as well as updating the furniture in the room such as the bedframes and night lights. The windows could be opened which gave an amazing view of the street and was still quiet. The paint was chipping off of the doors of the windows but not a big deal. The room does smell if fresh air is not run through the room (as if the windows were closed and the A/C) was not on, just make sure to air it out and the smell isn't noticeable. There were quite a bit of stains in the rugs from the past which is why I think it should be replaced, definitely a great investment to make for the hotel during the off season. I would avoid the breakfast as there are many cafes outside with less than a 10 minute walk. Some of the cafes are definitely pricey but not that much pricier than what you pay and get for the hotel breakfast.

Very convenient to the metro, Tuileries, 10 minute walk to the louvre. Clean,comfortable, good cafes all around.

Very pleasant, helpful staff. Excellent location. Old world comfort.

Had to be aware of Angled ceilings in room Especially shower.

The location cannot be beat. Within walking distance of major sights and very close to multiple metro stops. The staff was wonderful and very helpful!

The elevator is small, but at least there was one.
