I stayed at Hôtel La Lanterne & Spa in Paris for six nights (February 16–21). Overall, I found it fairly expensive for what was provided.
Room & Comfort
The room layout was awkwardly designed, making it difficult to move around. The bed took up so much space that we couldn’t fully open the cupboards or mini fridge. While the fixtures and fittings throughout the hotel had a modern feel, the quality of the bed itself was good but not exceptional.
The shower was disappointing. For the first few nights, it wouldn’t stay in a fixed position. Despite reporting the issue twice, it took days to get resolved. Even after the fix, the water pressure was quite weak.
Housekeeping did a great job with regular cleaning, and lovely presentation of the room.
Breakfast
Breakfast was a bit disappointing, considering the price. While there was a good selection of options, the hot food was often cold, and did not taste especially fresh.
The hot drink service at breakfast was a nice touch, and the staff were friendly and professional.
Spa & Gym
The spa and swimming pool were great, but the pool was much smaller than expected. It had three water jets, but one wasn’t functioning properly. If another guest was using the pool at the same time, it became quite cramped. The steam room was good, but required constant activation, shutting off every five minutes, which was a bit frustrating. It was disappointing that there was no sauna, as there seemed to be space for one.
The gym could have been better equipped, as it only had a few dumbbells and a basic exercise bike. A workout bench and even a simple cage setup would have made a big difference, especially given the available space.
Service & Atmosphere
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and generally very responsive to our questions and requests.
Overall
For the price, the experience didn’t meet our expectations. While the hotel had a modern aesthetic and some good features (like the spa), the disappointing breakfast, cramped room layout, weak shower, and lackluster gym made it feel overpriced. I would unlikely stay here again at the current rates.
