Location. Hospitality. Amenities. Comparison to like-cost hotels. Superb experience!
We started our visit in Paris across town near Luxembourg Gardens at a "4-Star Hotel". This was false! More like 2-Star. Thursday train strike occurred, we needed a new hotel. We paid a little extra for Napoleon and definitely got what we paid for. We literally Uber'd from the first hotel to Napoleon, walked through the door, and were greeted with smiles, bus individuals asking to assist with bags, staff asking if we need in anything in that moment (except check in), etc. It was just a much more inviting and pleasant experience.
Check In:
Very easy. Lady behind the counter was pleased to let us know our room was ready ahead of schedule and checked us in early. We requested a deluxe king room. Nothing too special... or so we thought, in comparison to where we were prior (that post is on my profile). We were helped up to our room, walked in, and pleasantly surprised with our room. Clean. A king bed as promised. A soaking tub. TV with many options. Many other amenities we weren't expecting to have. Oh... and ROOM TO MOVE AROUND!
The Stay:
Every entrance and exit of the hotel, all staff greeted us in or out. We were stopped multiple times to see if we were doing okay or if we needed anything. Upon the first hour of check in, we called room service to order a bottle of champagne and some snacks. The room service individual didn't fuss at all on the phone or when bringing everything to our room. They were so kind and welcoming. The bed was super comfy. The doors to outside opened wide up for cool evening breezes. The tub was always filled with hot water for soaking. The shower head was a waterfall. Everything as amazing.
Location:
When you walk out of the hotel, you immediately will see The Arc de Triomphe. It's right there and centrally located for any Uber rides, plenty of metro rail lines under you, and other transportation options to get to anywhere in the city you need to go.
In comparison to another hotel we paid almost the same amount for, this surpassed with flying colors. To the staff and all hospitality employees, thank you.
To wrap it up, one night my husband and I went out and were out much much later than normal but enjoying ourselves. We got in around 4am. The staff had 0% judgement and you could feel it. We were asked if we knew how to get back to our room, if we wanted anything more to enjoy our night, if we needed a seat, etc. They were perfect in wrapping up our last night in Paris.
Thank you for a 5-sta experience. When we return, we will look into staying here again, if not to definitely pass the positivity along to others.
