My boyfriend and I decided to stay here on my first trip to Paris, his third time. We weren't sure…read morewhere to stay since we would not be renting a car. I decided to look into places that said near metro in the description or reviews. This hotel was a minute or two walk away from the Marcel Sembat metro stop, which is a 15 minute metro ride to the Eiffel Tower. We got to the hotel at 11 am and were both exhausted and even though it was not time for check in the gentleman at the front desk said he had a twin room available we could go right into, we were eternally grateful for that so we could sleep! The room was small, but we weren't expecting a big room since we were in Europe. The two twin beds made for a real big bed after all, very comfortable beds I think too. The shower was quite nice. The tv was not working though and we didn't get it working until the last night of the trip. This was a little frustrating, but we wouldn't have been able to understand much of the tv anyway. We were disappointed though, because once we got the tv working we found that the some of the tv shows were a little wacky and we missed out on some good entertainment! The only bad thing was that we were off of the terrace and we were not able to use it due to rain. Another down fall was that late at night there would often be people out there smoking and it would make our room smell like smoke, even with the window closed. The breakfast was an extra 1 euro every time you ate there, which I didn't think was quite worth the price for what was there. By the time we got out on the town though, it was usually lunch time anyway. The staff was really good about speaking English with us as well, which was nice. We really enjoyed our stay and I would be more than willing to stay at this hotel again. Stayed September 2014

It had pretty good reviews on Trip advisor as well. When you get to the entrance of the lobby, you notice the "Walk of fame" type stars in the concrete...made me feel like a star...lol. The decor is 50s Hollywood chic with huge portraits of Marilyn Monroe covering the walls and some really cool retro furniture. When we stepped out of the elevator on the floor to our room, it was quite shocking to see all the walls painted black with sort of a chequer pattern on the floor and colored lights. I swear, the first thing I thought was "WHOA...I feel like I'm in the backroom of a bar in the the Castro or maybe an adult arcade." (not that I've ever been in any of those, though.) ;) The rooms are quite small but this is pretty standard for hotel rooms in general in Europe. The walls in the room...you guessed it, black, but there was an interesting pattern on the walls which looked like black leather. There was also another big portrait of Marilyn overlooking the bed. The bathrooms had little LED lights in each corner of the grout in the tiling, very cool. The staff here was also great. They were very helpful with any questions we had. They even let us borrow an electric cord adapter since we forgot to pack ours. The location is good, too. Right next to a shopping mall and only 2 blocks from where the river boat was docked. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd gladly stay here.

Great stay in Paris!…read more From the moment we walked in the door, this hotel was the perfect place for us! The reception desk workers were very accommodating and ensured we were enjoying our visit! This hotel is "Hollywood" themed, so the decor adds a nice touch to Paris. Each room has Marilyn Monroe on the walls and makes it for a fun stay. The bathroom has colored LED lights to also spice up your night. The hotel has a spa, breakfast lounge and even a honest bar where you can pour your drink and choose the price to pay. Lastly, the location is great! They are right next to a shopping mall, and convenient access to metro 10 and C. If you are even up for a walk, you can get to the Eiffel Tower in 1.2 miles (20 minutes).

This was truly the highlight of our trip and offered such a unique, intimate way to see the city. I felt like I fell in love with Paris the moment we hopped on our adorable pistachio and cherry red Vespa's to go explore. We opted for the half day Paris tour with Thierry. We arrived in Paris on April 28th for my 30th birthday and had some rainy weather predicted for our tour date. Marion was incredibly accommodating when we asked at the 11th hour to switch our tour date from April 30th to May 1st instead, hoping for better weather! We're so glad we switched - the weather cleared up and we just had a few scattered clouds whiled we cruised around Paris with Thierry. We had already been in Paris for a few days taking in the usual sights, so Thierry happily obliged to take us to some other neighborhoods and sites we still wanted to see. We got to see the university, the Latin Quarter, The Père Lachaise cemetery, Montmartre and the Sacred Heart, Hemingway's house, the Marais neighborhood with its boutiques, the Louvre and so much more! Our favorite aspect of Left Bank Scooters was the ability we had to keep the scooters for the rest of the day/overnight. This allowed us to take in the sights on our own and really get to see all of Paris at our own pace. It was absolutely magical! My fiancé and I, and our two friends literally drove all over the city. They provide comfortable helmets and gloves, which were much appreciated on the chilly day we had. If you're on the fence on whether to do this activity or not - DO IT. It's 110% worth every penny. You will get to experience Paris in such a unique way that no hop-on-hop-off bus tour could ever do. As a side note, I was nervous about driving in a foreign country, but my fiancé and his friend drove while us ladies rode on the back. It wasn't nearly as nerve racking as I thought it would be, you get the hang of it pretty quickly! Thank you Marion and Thierry, we can't wait to come back one day!

But since the price for a private tour was very reasonable, we opted for the tour as well and we are definitely recommending this to everyone. Daniel was our guide and he was awesome! We knocked out all the main attractions and even some hidden gems in just 3 hours! Daniel not only tells us the history but also add stories to each of the attractions so we can remember them better! We were much more acquainted and feel more comfortable with Paris after touring with Daniel. We absolutely are in love with Paris!

The room was cool (which felt amazing on such a hot day) much to our relief, as so many places in Europe are not air conditioned.
