although there is construction across the street, that can be noticed at times.

Across the Place, there was construction of a new multi-story building, so noise was a problem between around 8am to 5pm approx.

There was construction going on, so the small square facing the hotel was quite noisy at times.

The bedroom overlooked the opera area which is sadly under construction on the lower level

One thing it was not good is the front of the hotel(^_^;)It was middle of construction

but had wished they warned us about the construction.

The nearest metro station (Richelieu Drouot) was closed for construction,

The issue that compromised our stay was the construction.

My only complaint was that there was some hideous construction going on nearby that woke everyone up at 8 am with earth shattering crashing,

It's a rare thing, so imagine how disappointing it was on our 2 night stay in Paris, one of the few times we might have actually been able to sleep past 6:30am, to be woken up at 8am sharp by loud construction.

There was some construction going on out in front of the hotel during our visit, which made for a less than spectacular building facade and entrance,

but the sidewalk is still cut up, so I suspect there may be follow-on construction at a later date.

Would have been very quiet if not for the noise of road construction -no fault of hotel!

It spoilt breakfast having a pneumatic drill about 2 foot away from you and the noise was deafening.

I loved that they kept the original ceiling wool construction and just painted to match the interior.

There was some construction noise in the morning from an adjacent building and they play music in the hallways almost 24 hours a day it seemed.

but would instead stay somewhere more reasonable, maybe on Rue Cler.

Cons were that two of our rooms were quite small, the lift could be slow to arrive, and there was some kind of strong perfume in the lobby most days.

although rooms are a little small, the facilities and team are amazing.

The room was small and the balcony view was the wall of another building, so we didn’t use it.

I will say the rooms are a bit small by American standards,

As the floor space in the room is compromised by the main stairwell, we did find the shower room particularly small so perhaps ask for another room if space is an issue.

The fitness room is very basic - no hand weights, the room was on the small side and the air con wasn't up to much, so we wouldn't recommend staying there in the height of summer.

Our room was very small and definitely did not have a King size bed as advertised for all rooms.

but I we picked a small room since we were moving around town.

That being said, the room was very small, barely holding a queen side bed.

Rooms are small (typical for Paris hotels in my experience)

Here are some practical realities 
- Rooms are small.

Location is excellent and quiet yet just minutes walk from cool bars and restaurants.

Fifteen minutes walk down to the Louvre and many good restaurants close by.

From the moment we walked into the lobby we felt at home.

It is perfectly located, half an hours walk to the Sacre Coeur to the north and half an hours walk to the tuileries the river and the louvre to the south.

It’s easy to walk to many attractions from this location.

From the moment we walked in, Maison Favart felt like our own pied-à-terre.

location works well for walking in all directions and the metro is on the doorstep.

Beautiful hotel, well located for all the sights in Paris with most within a 25 minute walk.. we were upgraded to the suite on arrival (room 14) which was beautiful.

Louvre is only 15 mins walk away 

We arrived early afternoon and our room was ready.

But it’s in a location that is about a 20 min walk from the Louvre and many things.

Easy to locate and one minute walk to the metro which made travelling in Paris very easy.

30 mins walk from Gare de Nord, in fact this place is located very central to anywhere .

Walk up to Sacre Ceur or down to Notre-Dame.

We walked form the train station to the hotel, and everything we wanted to see was either in walking distance, or close to a public transport stop.

La Maison Favart is located between the 2nd and 9th ar​ron​disse​ment, a mere 15 min walk from the Louvre.

5 minutes walking to Gallerie Lafayette and so many shops and restaurants.

The location was central and we were able to walk to all the sights. Excellent!

Book the spa with the pool, sauna and massage table - great after a long day of walking.

One night the room door got jammed and the keycard didn't work and the hotel staff acted as if we didn't know how to use the card.

They charge deposit and you will have to communicate with differnet group of teams by email to get it back.

He says that it was just a mistake and the card wasn’t meant for us.

Just imagine they charge for water @6-8 euros for bottle to be provided in the room through housekeeping and room service. Pathetic!

ALSO, before I forget, I was charged an excess of $900 on my credit card despite only having and being charged for about $200 in incidentals.

It’s unacceptable that they can’t provide commercial invoice and we paid almost 2000€

It eventually went off
Lifts are operated by your room key which stopped working throughout our visit so we couldn’t use the lift until reception had checked our card 
Not enough lifts for number of guests 
Noise from above/surrounding rooms
Hairdryer was awful, burnt my hair to a crisp 
Took large deposit from us upon arrival, this wasn’t mentioned when we booked.

Housekeeping unplugged my travel power-board for charging my devices and removed the plug from the wall which was very annoying.

We finally were relieved that the issue was settled at check-out and we didn't incur any additional room charges.

but when I had asked for some decorations in the room to surprise my wife, they charged me 60 Euros for some flowers, balloons and macaroons.

but I don't expect this at a hotel charging close to $500 per night.

We booked a 2 night stay at the hotel so everything was pre-paid before we arrived, when we came to check in they wanted €906 as a deposit for the room so I had to give them my bank card to take this payment.

And everything wrapped up with us being charged twice for the stay.

They charged the entire amount of the stay (over $1,000) on the credit card right away.

I still don’t know whether that is an Amex issue or a hotel one,

We gave the hotel a second chance and stayed with them on our last night in Paris, they promised to resolve everything that was wrong by way of a credit with ACCOR or discount across the entire accommodation,

Only real negatives where I had to call for towels twice and got charged $5 to rent an ice bucket.

However, nearly 2 months after my stay my Visa card was suddenly charged again for €600.00.

You pay over $600 in one night hotel and there is no  security in the lobby.

but quite expensive and the breakfast was overcrowded with people could not move.

the only negative was the slightly confusing room rate and bill.

Secondly, we asked for a wine opener and they said we either take our bottle down to the bar to open, or we pay guest services for one. Imagine!

(However be careful bc they do have lots of hidden fees, for mediocre food when you receive your check.)

The amount did total the security deposit or the cost of the overall stay.

I did feel it was overpriced for what you get, cereal, fruit, eggs, different teas, water.

At  there rates it absolutely was not the experience I was expecting.

but there is little attention paid to the guest experience.

Only marking down a star for the dinner at the restaurant on the first night, the food was below average and very expensive.

but I think a tad overpriced for the overall quality of our room.

Husband booked this as an anniversary surprise, given the price we were extremely disappointed.

They are a  tourist trap complete rip off.

The rooms are not cheap and are around 600 Euro per night or AUD 1,000 which did not include breakfast.

We strongly complained, and finally they said we'd get rooms as soon as they were available, and they 'graciously' allowed us to eat breakfast - which we had already paid for anyway with our reservation!

The hotel just seems to be a commercial money, making building with no sympathy for tourists, putting their time in money into affording their expensive rooms.

Over priced for what it is
Air con not switched on until summer.

You can eat right on Rue Cler or on one of the other streets in the area.

It is within walking distance of the Rue Cler which is a wonderful area to explore.

but as we were walked in we were told that we have to order a minimum of two drinks.

When we did the hop on hop off bus stop 8 & 9 is here and lastly we could walk to our river cruise.

It was an easy walk to the ET as well as to the hop on / off bus.

We saw other couples at nearby tables just walk out.

The location was an easy walk to the Eiffel Tower and lots of restaurants just around the corner.

This was returned swiftly upon leaving though

There is a restaurant attached, we ordered once, waited half hour for 2 bottled drinks which never arrived, walked out and didn’t return

But it's right there as soon as you walk out you can't miss it!

Another alternative is to walk behind the hotel and go down the side streets.

The Eiffel Tower is a short walk away and there is a hop on hop off bus stop at the Tower which is convenient.

Literally a 3-5 min walk from the base of the Eiffel Tower.

The area is excellent with lots of food options and close enough to other major tourist attractions that you can walk.

We arrived early in the day and they held our bags so we could begin our site seeing right away, and really all you need to do is walk out the door - it is mere footsteps from the Eiffel Tower.

The staff was amazing, the view of the Eiffel every night and being able to walk everywhere was a nice touch.

I immediately went down and walked in to the Pullman which was sold out at the booking site when I was booking my Paris stays.

Whereas, if you were to stay in a different neighborhood you could walk everywhere.

but there were plenty nearby and it was a short 3-minute walk to the Eiffel tower.

It was convenient walking to attractions and if we taxi or Uber then it was a reasonable cost.

There is a shopping centre a little walk away and a grocery store too.

You can’t get any closer to the Eiffel Tower and everything is a convenient walk

The location was perfect for a walking exploration of Paris and very close to Rue Cler.

Loved being so close to the tower, easy access to Metro and dining on Rue Cler, as well as other restaurants.

There are a lot of great restaurants within walking distance, including the charming Rue Cler.

Incredibly nice young lady checked us in, provided directions to walk to Rue Cler full of amazing local restaurants, bakeries, and shops.

Also, a 5 min walk to Rue Cler Market street with a ton of restaurants and boulangeries which we would recommend stopping by and exploring.

Great location close to the Eiffel Tower, Rue Cler and the Military Museum.

The Area surrounding the Hotel is recommended, especially the Rue Cler.

The location of the hotel is near several bus lines, a metro stop, minutes walk to ET and Rue Cler.

The hotel itself is perfectly located in a quiet neighbourhood 2 mins round the corner from the nearest metro station, making it convenient to explore the rest of Paris, and is a few minutes walk from the famous Rue Cler which has plenty shops, cafes, patisseries and restaurants.

The hotel is centrally located and close to major areas like the Eiffel Tower, the Army Museum/ Napoleon's Tomb,  the Rodin Museum, Park Champ de Mars and Rue Cler.

Champs de Mars, Rue Cler, Metro, Les Ivalides we’re within a couple blocks.

The hotel is located in a great area convenient to sites like the Eiffel Tower, Rue Cler, the Army Museum, Napoleon’s Tomb, and the Rodin Museum.

Located in the wonderful Rue Cler neighborhood and close to the metro.

If you are staying at this hotel, take a walk to Rue Cler (2 min walk), pedestrian street with lots to see, and lots of fresh foods, bread, chocolates etc.

Close to Rue Cler, Relias, Champ De Mars, Le Bourdannais.

Once in your life, stay there and get a frontal Eiffel Tower View, eat on La Rue Cler and savor an amazing breakfast looking out at the Eiffel Tower!

It's  also close to Rue Cler,  a pedestrian street with cafes, restaurants & shops that the locals frequent.

Bus stop, metro and  Rue Cler Market were just a few walks from the Hotel, or even we could walk to Champ de mars to get closer to the Eiffel Tower.

Rue Cler is just a couple of blocks over, which is where we went for breakfast most mornings at Cafe Central.

The rooms are small even by Paris standards.

Hotel was better in the pictures, rooms were tiny, not the cleanest hallways or rooms.

Compared to American hotels, the room was a little small,

While some might think the rooms are small, the size is typical of Paris.

The only complaint I would have is the rooms are way too small

I enjoyed my stay (wasn't prepared for the tiny room)

There are plenty of restaurants close by and the walk to Eiffel Tower is 10 minutes.

It was also a great location - just a short walk to many tourist attractions.

The Eiffel Tower is a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel.

Short walk to the Eiffel Tower, cafés and restaurants.

Centrally located, we walked almost everywhere.

Excellent location with easy walk to metro, food, shops, tower.

Staff was so wonderful and helpful, the location of this hotel was perfect for walking and close to cafes/shops, and the most breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower!

We walked to the Eiffel Tower in less than 10 minutes, The Louve and Notre Dame in 45 minutes.

Could easily walk over to see “twinkle lights” of the Eiffel on the hours of 10 or 11 pm, for five minute “sparkle show” of the lights.

Eiffel Tower a 15–20-minute walk from the Hotel.

The hotel is close to champs elysee and 10 mins walk to Eiffel Tower.

You can see the Eiffel Tower from the hotel rooms and walk to it in a few minutes.

The location is strategic with many nice restaurants and walking shortly to Eiffel Tower.

The hotel is located near a metro and bus station . Also near in the Eiffel Tower (5 minutes walk)

The location of the hotel was also great for walking to anywhere you need to go.

Great central location and could walk to Eiffel Tower easily within 10 min.

You could also walk to a lot of tourist spots from this location.

Hotel La Comtesse

Paid private parking nearby

Carpets, towels, base boards, and linens are all worn, dirty, old and need to be replaced.

The lift was falling appart holes in pannels hidden by cardboard, the hall carpet was full of holes some covered with masking tape (don't think this is part of the partial upgrade at the hotel and this may be the actual carpet).

Old stained carpet, curtains with holes, outdated furniture, cracks in tiles, showers that didn't drain, sliding closets that were hard to open, dingy white towels, fans that didn't work, and just an overall feeling of an aging hotel with no updates.

One of the main problems with our room was the lack of air conditioning, it was hot and humid during our visit which meant we had to sleep wth our window and balcony door open, this wasn't ideal as we got bitten by bugs and two of the nights during our stay we had massive storms, this meant that we either left the door open and dampened the carpet of the room and had no sound barrier from the thunder or we close the door and deal with a humid sweaty room making it difficult to sleep all night.

The carpet in one of the rooms was damaged and the kitchen flooring was damaged as well.

The carpet in the lobby needs a good cleaning, the upholstery in the lounge needs doing as well.

The halls could  use a bit more light and  the carpets were a bit worn.

The carpet was a bit dingy and the bathroom needed some cosmetic repair,

The decor is generally a bit tired and entrance hallway carpet had a nasty stain.

There have been exterior and carpet improvements in the hallways since our last stay.

Two twin beds shoved together, had to ask for toilet paper because it was never replenished, fridge smelled, stained carpets, a view of a rooftop and constant dripping outside our window as well as a hazard in the bathroom with a broken towel drying rack with live wires sticking out.

but bad neighborhood

too far from the metro station , at least 20 minutes walking

dirty, needs renovation tomorrow, carpets destroyed everywhere, walls dirty and with marks, room couch filthy, even in the bathroom the rubbish bin didnt have cap

the cleaning lady put in the dishwasher a mug that I bought from Disneyland and that wasnt machine washable, and when I told the reception they told me they would find a solution.

Despite being refurbished there were some stains on the hall carpet and the curtains in the bedroom and living room.

The only thing that took away from an otherwise great makeover was the carpet.

Stains on the carpet, holes in the walls, black dust along the baseboards and the most disgusting, filthy sofa.

On a less positive note the beds were a bit too hard and that carpet in the corridors, my god, just change it please it is not doing you guys any favour.

I agree with another reviewer that the property could use a bit of painting and the carpet in the hallways replaced.

The bad - only 1 shower worked, 1 of the 3 bedroom heaters worked, mold in bathrooms, dirty carpet with some areas constantly damp, refrigerator door didn't close plus a slew of messy 'repairs', sporadic wifi that you have to pay for, lumpy beds.

Advice - avoid room 2036 if you don't smoke.

however if you are non smokers then you need a table right at the back inside.

The only disappointing aspects were the lack of ventilation in the water closet and a persistent sulphuric smell coming from the shower drain.

even though the flat was immaculate, there seems to be a smell from the drains that is a bit off putting.

The place is not air conditioned, and the bathroom in the master bedroom had some bad sewer gas occasionally.

Unfortunately, the room still had a faint smell of cigarette smoke and possibly sewer lines.

Paris is a short metro ride away and Vincennes is a small suburb that maintains a small town feel.The only small catch was here was a bad smell in the shower and the closet with the hot water tank that dissipated in the shower after we ran the hot water for a  while and used Febreeze in the closet.

The ashtray outside was full of cigarette stubs, not been emptied, and our veiw over the balconies below was one of weeds in the boxes.

The carpeted flooring was torn in many places with disgusting spills all over it.

Being short-sighted also helped not noticing the mold in the corners of the bathroom. But I also made a special effort not to look too closely.)

Filthy dirty streets graffiti and the area around the Sacre Coeur looks like a refugee camp and so many pickpockets.

I liked being away from the City because the noise and pollution (especially the cigarette smoke and car exhaust) can be unbearable there.

The Metro is only a 10-15 minutes walk away or you can get a bus so it is very handy.

Extremely easy to get into Paris area and the town of Vincennes is very charming and an easy 10 minute walk from the property.

The apartments are fully equipped so you can eat in if you want to and a small well stocked supermarket is only a short walk along the street.

There were 3 different patisseries within a 5 minute walk and 2 grocery stores.

We had the option from walking to two metro stations (about a 20min walk) or take a one-way bus if comvenient.

The metro to Paris is a 20 minute to walk.

but an easy walk Although there was construction going on, it stopped by the time we returned from our daily excursions into Paris.

Metro ligne 1 is about a 20min walk through the park’s shaded path.

Approx 15 minute walk to nearest station.

In fact, Royal Regency is just 15 mins away, by walking, from Chateau Vincennes stop of Paris metro 1.

And the Vincennes castle is ~10 minute walk away and is a MUST SEE in our opinion (makes you feel like you’re in a medieval video game).

We even managed to walk the whole length of the Coulée Verte René-Dumont from near the innermost edge of Bois De Vincennes right into the Bastille area.

It is ideally situated for the underground train into Paris either by bus or about a 20 minute walk.

Had a wonderful stay with close procimity to Paris with the Metro within a few minutes walk to enjoy all that Paris has to offer.
