The Hotel Baume is such a gem! The neutral grey tones on the facade of the hotel give way to a colourful and comfortable art deco decorated reception and lobby. When we arrived we were welcomed warmly by Gabriel and his team. We were brought to our large Junior suite on the 6th floor which looked exactly as it did on their website, with a great, large bed, and night tables on both sides (with plenty of outlets around the room). In the sitting area, there was a comfortable sofa and lots of room to place our suitcases and a closet with plenty of hangers. In addition to room for suitcases and cupboard space + a safe and coffee machine, there was a narrow table under the television in the bedroom and a coffee table as well as desk in the sitting area, with 3 big windows that brought tons of light into the room. The bathroom which has been renovated, has a fantastic shower (both rain shower and detachable wall head), big plush towels and a vanity kit in addition to in house bath and skin products. The view from our room onto the Odéon theatre was beautiful and the street was incredibly quiet despite being very central and near many great cafés, restaurants (don't miss la Mediteranée basically across the street), book shops and numerous other interesting boutiques. The subway and the Jardin de Luxembourg are about a 3 minute walk away and the RER is about 5 minutes away, but we walked almost everywhere as you are about 10 minutes from Notre Dame, Ste Chapelle, the Conciergerie and about 15-20 minutes from the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and the Orangerie. The 6th arrondissement is such a fabulous area and the Blvd St Germain is just minutes away from Hotel Baume. |Most importantly the staff at this hotel is AMAZING! Everyone (Gabriel, Patricia, Slavisa, Hatim and others) went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. They provided extra pillows, extra hangers, called taxis, gave us dining and coffee suggestions, and replenished our water (2 water bottles in glass bottles) and towels at turn-down service. The room was made promptly and the whole hotel was impeccably clean. When we arrived at the hotel, a beautiful vase of flowers awaited us and midway through our week stay, the hotel sent us a bottle of red wine. Real class! We know that we will return to Paris soon and will definitely stay at the Hotel Baume when we do!
