Hotel De la Tamise - Paris

8.2

Very nice, very quiet, very pleasant environment of a small hotel with character. It has style and makes you feel comfortable. Excellent location in the very centre, close to the Metro station and still not noisy, having the Tuilleries Garden on the other side of the Rivoli Road. Excellent free wireless Internet connection in the rooms - important if you have a laptop with you! Weak points (to be improved): no fridge or air condition, only a ventilator in the room. No window protection against mosquitoes - one bothered me one night.

7.0

All is correct except the noise of the elevator. But if you are tired after a long day of visits, you will forget the noise.

9.3

The staff were excellent and most helpful! I would definitely go there again.

10

An absolutely Parisian hotel, small and comfortable, I would say the best for the fare charged, excellent location, clean rooms, large bathroom, professional personnel, one of the best locations in town; if you love Paris, you will love De la Tamise -if you check in with preconceived ideas that this is Hotel Meurice, you will not like it- but again the price you pay is very very low. I will return soon.

3.1

This hotel does not deserve 3 stars, but 2. No choice for breakfast, a very small lift, noisy building (due to thin walls), minimum facility in the bathroom.

4.5

The lounge in the photo is roped off. The decoration over all is old fashioned and tired. The elevator is tiny and only has enough room for one person with a small bag. The bedrooms are small and basic. The TV is only tuned to a a few French channels with no international news channel etc. It is impossible to take a shower in the morning as the water tank is to small and all I got was freezing cold water. The shower had the wrong head to it and sent water every where. Breakfast is small and over priced.

6.9

Nice hotel. Extremely convenience to everywhere especially to Louvre.

9.7

Great hotel, great location, very nice staff, even for the elderly person that stayed in this hotel. Breakfast is nice. Great hotel for the money and fantastic location. Will recommend to others

8.0

I loved staying here. The hotel is charming and it is excellently located for getting around and enjoying Paris. The staff were very friendly and helpful, going out of their way to help. The room did not have any frills but suited me well. This was my first time in Paris and 5 days is not nearly enough! If I were lucky enough to come to Paris again I would certainly stay here and I would recommend it to my friends.

7.6

La Tamise is very well located, very close to the Rue de Rivoli and the tube station Tuileries. The staff are friendly and discrete. The twin room we had was on the street side but it was very quiet. A small breakfast is included in the price. Overall therefore, not a bad choice for the area! PS There's a typical Parisan lift, which accommodates two.

3.2

No recomendable. Por atención y malas comodidades se parece a un Youth Hostel a precios desproporcionadamente caros. Lo único rescatable es la ubicación, pero al precio del hotel se encuentran mejores hospedajes en el área. No tiene ningun confort de un hotel actual en París de su categoría (tres estrellas). Las habitaciones no tienen ningún confort apropiado a un hotel de Paris tres estrellas actual y el baño mantiene las comodidades y el concepto de hace por lo menos 30 años atrás. La ambientación es muy pobre y de mala calidad a pesar de que procura imitar un estilo imperial, tradicional parisino. El desayuno es pobrísimo, muy baja calidad de bebidas y alimentos. El personal ofrece un servicio no profesional e indiscreto, aunque muy bien intencionado.

3.2

Great location but that is about the only good thing. The sheets were old and poor quality, not to mention the stained pillows, as were the small towels. Breakfast was miserable. The smallest croissant ever and at times a day old roll. The picture of the sitting room is accurate but one cannot use the room so the only common space available is a couple of chairs next to the front desk. Couldn't provide a safety pin or change a bill. I've been many times to Paris and I'm aware of French "frugality" but I had never encountered it to such degree!

3.8

I have chosen a hotel based on photos from website. Well, a room was completely different, much smaller (I can say it was tiny!), not very comfortable. I would not go back there and definitely would not recommend it. Although I have to admit that Louvre was very close, I guess 150 euro per night for such a room is too much. The most I would pay for such a room is 85-90 euro. Honestly, there were almost the same hotels in the same area and twice cheaper!

8.0

THEY STAFF SHOULD BE MORE HOSPITABLE, SMILE MORE. WHEN ASKING QUESTIONS, YOU FEEL AS IF YOU ARE BOTHERING THEM. SHOULD MAKE GUESTS MORE WELCOME. BUT IT IS OKAY, THE LOCATION, CLEANLINESS, INTEGRITY, SAFETY AND PRICE ARE THE THINGS I VALUE MOST.

8.0

Excelente lugar,la habitación estaba limpia y ordenada,el personal es muy agradable. El hotel, es pequeño pero acogedor. La ubicación es inmejorable, cerca del museo del louvre, el jardin de las tuleries, a pasos del sena y los campos eliseos...tan céntrico que te vas caminando a todas partes.

7.2

An old building is an old building... However, rooms were very clean, the bathroom was clean, spacious and hot water was always available. The building is quite old and thus the sound isolation is not very good. We were upgraded to a larger room upon arrival at no extra cost. The elevator must be one of the smallest elevators in the world, but it worked perfectly. This is one of the reasons why this hotel is NOT suitable for disabled people. Staff was friendly and location, well... location is PERFECT: just across the street from the Tuileries Garden! Breakfast is barely enough. The hotel is well served by public transportation and you are within short walking distance of many major landmarks in Paris. Staying here in the summer may be complicated because it has no air conditioning and the surroundings may be a bit noisy with open windows (after all, it is the downtown Paris).

8.7

After I booked my room I read previous reviews and was somewhat upset by bad reviews; on the contrary I was surprised by the pleasant and cozy atmosphere (old Paris style). Of course rooms are not big (but big enough with a large single bed), nor are public spaces, but you can't expect it in the middle of Paris. The location is great, close to the subway and to all main sights. Breakfast is French style, but we are in France; and the price is quite reasonable. I would go back if I had to stay in Paris.

10

Services and price of accommodation in La Tamie are OK.

8.1

It was pretty good as its location. Morning shower was a bit of worry...not enough hot water. However, staffs are good, the room was clean and had good enough space. Very near to Metro. For Budget traveller, it is a fantastic hotel but could be disappointed if you fancy more of luxurious Paris.

9.2

Charming Hotel,perfectly located , great welcoming and spacious rooms!!!

7.0

The staff were helpful and friendly, despite a little bit of a language barrier(our fault, though). It was nice to have a friendly, familar base to return to everyday - particularly in such a big, busy city. The location was truly fantastic - which made the rate almost worth while alone. We stayed at Hotel de la Tamise around NYE. We found the rooms to be comfortable, but cosy. Given you are in the middle of Paris and space is at a premium, the rooms are totally okay. They were clean and the beds were comfortable. There is no internet available at the hotel and internet halls can be a little elusive in the 1st Err. However, like I said the location is fantastic, the staff are friendly and the room is sufficient (re: comfort, noise, warmth etc). The minature lift is also an experience! Definitely worth checking this one out. 4/5.

6.7

The most important thing is the hotel's position...in the middle of the city center...so I have moved always by feet!!!

5.9

The single rooms are beside the elevator (too noise). The breakfast is simple, coffee, milk, butter, jam, bread and juice.

7.3

Large room but old. Quiet. No breakfast before 7:30! No hairdryer in the room, need to ask at the desk.

8.3

The hotel is ideally located and being in the 1st arrondissement its a tourist's delight. All the main tourist locations are at walking distance i.e. Louvre, place vendome, Jardin des tuileries, Les Halles, Comedie Francaise etc..the station and shopping areas too are close by. Within it has the decor of bygone era with modern facilities.

2.4

very bad service.

2.2

As any other place in Paris, it is well served by subway. It is very near the Louvre Museum but surroundings are not so exciting. Terrible noise in the room due to the old-fashion lift. Not very warm welcome by the owner of the hotel, not available to be of help in giving information. Impossible to have breakfast if you are one minute late after 10 o'clock.

7.4

First- excellent location and neighbourhood. The room was very small but quiet. Everything is in the spirit of the 19th century but I like it! The staff doesn't speak English well but rather friendly. The breakfasr is more than too modest: just a glass of juice, coffee, two rolls. Coud be much better! In general - good memories

7.5

It’s good that breakfast is included (many places charge), but petit déj is really 'petit'. The best thing is that the staff is friendly and helpful for anything. The style is old, which is ok, but there’s only a bath + shower attachment, no shower hook. Our twin room was quite big and looking out, we could see the Tuileries. All was clean and comfortable; but need to sort the tiny coffin lift!

7.4

Es un hotel pequeño, con encanto, sin zonas comunes. Nuestra habitación doble era muy espaciosa, pero tenía algunos problemas: la lámpara de la mesilla no tenía enchufe (si, en esa pared no había ni un sólo enchufe), y la televisión perdía muy a menudo la señal. Todos los enchufes de la habitación estaban amontonados en una sola toma. Pero está tan bien situado y el precio de los otros hoteles de la zona es tan elevado que volvería a alojarme allí.

6.4

The position of this hotel was excellent, just a shame that my room was so noisy due to the lift going up & down all night that I didn't get much sleep.

8.1

Very old but convenient hotel. Even antient. But it is situated opposite the Louvre in the historical center of Paris and for my visit it was the most important! And price was quite reasonable for stay! Thank you, Paris and Venere and De La Tamise!

9.4

Great location, large room plenty of space, small hotel, quiet consideting location, efficient staff. Recommended and will be using again.

6.4

The good things were the absolutely fantastic location, the cleanliness of the hotel and probably the breakfast. The bad things were the tiny room we got on the last (5th) floor of the hotel, especially considering that the elevator goes to the 4th floor only, and the 5th floor room has slanted ceilings which makes it even smaller, the fact that we got charged an extra 60 Euro for a four night stay for two due to some city tax we did not hear of before. Good thing we decided to pay a day early to make sure we had enough money. Other than that, though not cheap for a three-star hotel, the location really made up for it. An advice - request rooms on the 2nd-4th floors.

9.4

small and quiet , nice and clean , decorated in a very french style hotel..its very well located ,at the heart of central paris ..the staff was great , very polite and helpful, providing useful information about sightseeings and the way to get there .. but!! the hotel's greatest privilege is the surrounding area..no need to use the metro ( by the way , tuilerie metro station in less than 100 metres..) u just walk a bit and louvre , tuilerie , orsay , palais royal , concord , champs elysees etc are just in front of u ...its an ideal place to stay if u are a traveler who wants to discover paris greatest sightseeings rather than having a luxurious stay in one of the main and expensive hotels..and for those concerned about the price..ok u dont pay for the outstanding facility but for its great location , the quality of the staff and the style of this place.. :)

7.4

Hotel tipicamente parigino(anche negli arredi "d'antan")in pieno centro a pochi passi da Rue de Rivolì, i giardini delle Tuileries, Place Vendôme ed il Louvre.Fermata del metrò(Tuileries)della linea 1-Chateau de Vincennes/Défense a 50mt. Buona la pulizia delle stanze. Molto buono il rapporto qualità prezzo sopratutto in relazione ad altre strutture della stessa categoria che conoscevo sempre nel 1° arrondissement.Eccezionale l'ubicazione per avere tutte le maggiori mete turistice a portata di mano...e tutta Parigi a portata di metrò.

8.4

Caratteristico, centralissimo, rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono, a due passi dal Louvre e dal metro. Unica pecca: tenda della doccia con muffa e qualche scrostamento ma cose superabili se non avete troppe pretese.

7.2

I was pleasantly surprised since I expected much worse. The hotel is centrally located close to the museums. The area was very busy in the morning but quite dead at night. The staff was very friendly. The room was rather large considering the fact that the hotels in Paris are notorious for having small rooms. The elevator was small but we did not have large luggage so it was fine for us. The included breakfast was pretty basic. Overall not bad.

8.2

A nice little hotel in a great spot with a fantastic value. A stones throw from the Louvre and close to the metro, my next trip in Paris will be enjoyed from here as well.

0.4

The room was very small, dark and dirty. My husband actually couldn't get through the door! The consierge didn't speak either English or French, which is pretty curious when working in France. The sorroundings were ok but the street where the hotel is located is very dangerous at night. I wouldn't suggest it to anybody.

7.0

A very French (old) styled hotel very well located. The price/quality may not worth it, but it´s a nice hotel.

7.4

avoid rooms on 5th floor. The elevator motor room is next to your room! Otherwise, hotel is in an ideal location.

9.4

Great hotel, superb location. There's a small elevator (great for handling luggage!) and a good continental breakfast is included. Staff was super friendly. Rooms are very spacious and clean, bathrooms are old but in decent shape. Only two cons: 1- No internet access (they advertised a slow internet connection, but had none), and 2- There is no A/C and it gets pretty noisy at night if you open the windows. I would definitely stay there again!

8.9

Very convenient, reasonably quiet and the staff was quite helpful.

8.3

Great location and service!

3.1

very clean and nice rooms. However!!! the owner is just plain rude and unwelcoming. as if whe is doing the public a favour for allowing them to stay in her hotel.to top all rudeness she managed to overcharge us for breakfast - for an extra milk we requested (coffee was complementary, and we requested black coffee and milk on the side). As a matter of principal I would never return to that place, and I could only hope that her behaviour and attitude will change as a result of more people reading this comment.

9.0

Familiar Hotel. Perfect for Families and very near to Louvre, Tuileries and Place de la Concorde

7.5

It is a quite hotel. The situation is excellent.

8.6

Nice hotel, small, simple, great location. I did have a room right beside the elderly, old-fashioned gate and level elevator though, and the hotel closes its doors after midnight, meaning people buzzed to get in before then ascending in the elderly, old-fashioned gate and level elevator. Noisy. BUT - it's a nice, clean hotel with friendly staff in a very very good location and the price is superb. All Parisian hotels have small rooms so that didn't bother me, but it is a factor if you like your space. You are within a stone's throw of the Louvre and the metro stop is very nearby. I didn't eat in the hotel so I can't judge the breakfast, but really, with the metro where it is, you have no excuse for staying there for breakfast, you can be up and out to your destination in minutes, where you can then eat as you please. If you're not used to the style of small Parisian hotels, you might be shocked, but this is not my first trip and this is a nice little spot. Maybe not so great for families or couples seeking luxurious romance. For 90 euro a night in that location though, and it's clean, I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.

8.4

A treasured gem in a time warp - but the 5th floor is the attic.

4.9

superior room regarding the price 150 euros, the towels are very old as the accessories of the bathroom !

7.9

Hotel staff is very kindly. Location is great. Sometime little bit noisy, but I don't care about it. I have no idea about Spaciousness of rooms, cuz I am small person. It's not bad for me about Spaciousness of rooms. I will stay this hotel if I go to Paris again.

7.9

The economical, clean hotel is in the perfect location for Paris sight seeing. It could be improved if the bedrooms were made non-smoking.

10

It was a great hotel, conveniently located. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

8.1

Very nice people attending guests.

8.6

breakfast very poor. although the hotel is located only a few hundred meters from the eiffel tower, tv did not work properly.

6.6

Just what you can expect from the price. Very nice location, close to Louvre Museum, Palais Royal... Clean rooms, staff very kind. But my room was very noisy (near Rivoli Street with heavy traffic). And the breakfast was not a "rich continental breakfast" as mentioned in the ad.

7.0

There was no shower and no hair dryer. The latter was delivered upon request. Overall, nice hotel, very quiet, very good location close to The Louvre.

8.6

The room was clean and comfortable and definitely suitable for my weekend stay.

7.2

Very nice hotel, excellent location. Clear room, nice bed, clean bathroom. Breakfest is very weak, though.
