Hotel Brighton was great! The location is within 4 minutes of the Louvre, across of the Teuleries Garden and convenient to shopping, museums, restaurants, etc., which are accessesable by walking. History surrounds you at every turn. We like to walk so strolling to Galleries Lafayette, about 15 minutes, was easy, the Opera, etc., however, we did get turned around a few times. Good to have GPS. :-D
The hotel itself was very comfortable. The bed was a King and comfortable. I slept through the night which is unusual for me.
The ONLY drawback(s) was/were that the bathroom had very sheer curtains. Taking a shower ~ you are in full view as the tub has a glass door. Although we did not have a room with a view the bathroom windows did face other rooms. You could see some rooms had tried to 'hang' something to cover their window. We tried taking a shower with the lights off or with minimum lighting. The bath tub was also very high and it takes a huge step to get into and out of.
Mohammed, the evening manager, was fantastic! In fact all the staff at the hotel were great, friendly and spoke very good English. It made our stay very pleasant and welcoming. We had one day where it rained so the hotel put out umbrellas for its guests to use. Convenient and thoughtful as we did NOT bring an umbrella.
Can't comment on the breakfast as we ate all our meals out but they do supply you two bottles of water and chocolate wafers daily. Toiletries are supplied however bath soap comes in the form of body wash and not a bar. Not a big deal.
WiFi in the room is very, very slow but we used the hotel's 'pocket wifi' and that worked fantastically while we were out and about and in the room.
We were there from October 20-25, five nights so it was nice and cool, no need for AC.The heaters worked fine and at the perfect temperature so we did not have to adjust it.
I WOULD DEFINITELY stay at Hotel Brighton again and would recommend it to anyone who wants to feel welcomed, be close to attractions, and get a goodnight's sleep. If not for the bathroom windows I would have given it five stars.
