Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel

Close to the River Seine & Eiffel Tower

Kids under 18 eat breakfast for free which allows for a good breakfast to start the day. It averaged out to 10 Euros a day for my family of 4 including 2 kids, that’s really inexpensive for Paris! Close to the River Seine, a 10 minute walk to the closest Metro and 15 minutes from the Eiffel Tower. Mostly excellent staff with a couple of rude/ couldnt care less ones, especially in the gym/pool area

Carpet was quite worn, especially in the walkways. In room fridge and Air Conditioner were not cold enough however it was unusually warm in Paris during our visit (90 F/32C) Restaurant and bar choices were extremely limited The hotel requires men and boys to wear Speedo style swimwear to use the pool. This really irked me as it would have required the purchase of 3 pairs of Speedos despite us having swim shorts. Of course Novotel sells these Speedos for 15 Euros each, which would have meant spending 45 Euros on 3 pairs to use the pool!! I specifically chose a hotel with a pool and have never heard of such a rule in travels to numerous countries. The pool guy who was giving senior citizen aqua aerobics lessons was really rude to my wife when she dipped her toe in the water to test it’s temperature on the other side of the pool away ftom his class. He walked over put a chain and exercise bike in her way to block her and acted like she’d dive bombed the seniors!?!? Quite a rude overreaction!?!?

-very good location, being only a few steps away from Eiffel Tower, very clean and comfortable rooms
