HOTEL DE SEINE, Paris

The hotel is on a quiet street in the bustling 6th arrondissement, surrounded by art galleries, cafés, bistros and boutiques. Luxembourg Gardens (550 m), Pont Neuf (500 m) and the Louvre (650 m) are all within easy walking distance. The immediate area is pedestrian-friendly with numerous restaurants, a Carrefour mini-market nearby, and the Metro providing direct access across the city. For those arriving by car, public parking is available at a nearby garage, as the hotel itself has no parking facilities.

Accommodation ranges from Classic rooms, which are compact and best suited for solo travellers or short stays, to Superior and Deluxe rooms offering more space. Executive rooms have king-size beds and some overlook the street; a request can be noted at booking. All rooms include a private bathroom with Clarins toiletries, hairdryer, bathrobes, a courtesy tray with electric kettle, safe, and flat-screen TV. No rooms have a balcony or minibar. Rooms are serviced by a lift. Some rooms may be subject to noise from the lounge or breakfast area if located on the ground floor; top-floor rooms can be very small, and rooms at the back may be darker. Air conditioning operates during summer only; in cooler months heating is provided, and the system can be noisy.

Breakfast includes bread, pastries, cheese, cold cuts, yogurt, fruit, coffee and juice, and is available from early morning. The breakfast room is small and adjacent to the reception, so it can get crowded. Coffee is served at the table. For lunch and dinner, the hotel has no restaurant, but the surrounding streets offer dozens of dining options - from traditional French bistros to ramen bars - all within a few minutes' walk. Wine and champagne are available on site for an additional charge, and in-room breakfast can be arranged.

WiFi is free and reliable throughout the property. The 24-hour reception offers private check-in/out, express check-in/out, and safety deposit boxes. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures. A private airport shuttle can be booked: €80 from Orly and €90 from CDG for two people. Daily housekeeping is included; laundry and dry cleaning are available for an extra charge. The shared lounge/TV area provides a comfortable spot to relax. No parking is available on site.
