Hotel Stendhal Place Vendôme Paris-MGallery bintang 4

Small but delightful boutique hotel. I had room 62 on the top floor with a small but good bath shower combination. Liked the showergel and shampoo from Lanvin. Bedroom well designed and looking great. Comfy king bed. Good tea coffee in room. Enough space for clothing and silent. Breakfast is in pretty cellar where a delicious breakfast is served. Friendly efficient staff everywhere. Very romantic even though it was a solo business trip. Good location. Downsides? No gym but I knew that in advance.

I have just returned from my second stay at the Hotel Stendhal and had a lovely time. The staff is very professional and go out of their way to help. I travelled with my daughter and emailed the hotel in advance to request twin beds and to enquire about leaving luggage with them on arrival and departure. Olivia replied within minutes to say that they had already allocated us a twin room and that yes, we could leave luggage with them. We arrived before midday and by chance, our room was already prepared, which was great. The building was the former home of the author, Stendhal and there is a plaque near the entrance with brief details. The colour scheme throughout is a nod to his most famous work 'le Rouge et le Noir' and I noticed an open book in Reception containing further information but I didn't scrutinise it. I'm sure the staff would be happy to provide more historical details if requested. Housekeeping is of a very high standard and there are little touches which set it apart from other hotels in this range, such as the hair bobble (with the shower cap), the hair comb, the make up removal/cotton buds kit, shoe cleaning bits in addition to the safe, the bath robes and the slippers. There is also a magnifying mirror in the bathroom, which is very useful for doing your make-up. The Clarins toiletries are lovey too and I like the rain shower. The hotel provides a selection of coffee (instant and pods, normal and de-caff) as well as standard tea, earl grey, herbal and green. One morning I left a note asking for some extra coffee and the housekeeping staff kindly obliged. There are also two bottles of complimentary water in the fridge (still and sparkling) which are replenished daily. In terms of location, it's situated within walking distance of several metro stations - Pyramides, Tuileries, Concorde and Madeleine. If you're coming from CDG then take the Roissy Bus and you can walk to the hotel from the Opera House. The Stendhal is so centrally located that it's possible to return during the day to freshen up or drop off shopping and then head out again. I highly recommend the Stendhal but it is quite small, so rooms are booked up very fast and you need to reserve in plenty of time. The TV had been upgraded since our last visit; there were several news channels in different languages but we couldn't find an English one. We wanted to practise our French so it didn't matter to us. We watched a lot of BFM Paris so that we knew what was happening in the capital. I don't know the names of all the staff but the lady when we checked in was very nice, so too was the gentleman I saw frequently on reception as I was coming and going. Thank you, Olivia for your kindness when we returned to collect our luggage on the last day.

Very clean, modern bath & shower and all respects. Very comfortable bed & amenities. Great service by the staff. Wonderful location for touring, eating & exploring. Will return whenever we can. Now filling in with words to meet 200 minimum.

Once again I have enjoyed a stay at this very comfortable and well-located hotel. Above all the staff are delightful and are so helpful and courteous. In this instance I must mention Abdul, who was so very helpful in finding me a taxi when it was virtually impossible to find one due to an environmental Sunday where all cars except taxis and buses are banned from the city. I am disabled and needed a taxi to catch my Eurostar from the Gare du Nord. Abdul was incredible in his support, thank you! He is a credit to this excellent hotel.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Small hotel, only 3-4 rooms per floor. Rooms were ok, not very big. Bedcomfort was very good. Bathroom with bath and rain shower over the bath. Single sink. Separate toilet at entrance of the room. Only one closet… so not much closet space. Decoration of the rooms is warm and cosy. Minus : Elevator is central located to the 4 rooms, so you can hear the elevator going up and down the whole time. Wifi (in our room) was lacking speed for comfortable streaming. Breakfast in small cellar, cosy, nice fresh choices. Only remark, why use lesser quality bake off croissants and chocolate breads ? Surely for such small hotel you can offer decent fresh quality. Location of hotel, walking distance from tuileries, opera, printemps, louvre. And 500 m from some main subway lines. overall , besides some small remarks, we had a very pleasant stay.
