TIMHOTEL LE LOUVRE, Paris

The hotel sits on a calm street in the lively 1st arrondissement, with the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries, and Palais Royal all within a short walk. The adjacent metro station provides direct access to major attractions like Notre-Dame Cathedral, Opéra Garnier, and the Champs-Élysées. RER A-B-D at Châtelet - Les Halles (10-minute walk) connects to Disneyland Paris and both airports. Dozens of restaurants, cafés and bakeries line the surrounding streets, making it easy to find any meal type. For those arriving by car, parking is available at a nearby public garage for around 40 EUR per night.

Room sizes vary considerably: Standard rooms like the Comfort Single (9-10 m2) and Twin (12 m2) are compact, with some bathrooms described as very small. The 14 m2 Superior Double adds a Nespresso machine, minibar, bathrobes and slippers. The 16 m2 Triple and 22 m2 Family Room offer more space, the latter featuring bunk beds for children (ages 3-16) behind modular partitions. Some rooms have small windows facing internal light wells and can feel dark; street-facing rooms are brighter. Noise from the metro might be audible in some rooms, especially those on the lower floor. The lift is small and may not accommodate more than one person at a time.

Breakfast is a continental buffet featuring breads, pastries, cold meats, cheese, cereal, fruit, and hot drinks, available weekdays from 06:30-10:30 and weekends until 11:00. The patio courtyard provides a pleasant outdoor setting on fine days. The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar, but the surrounding area offers a wide variety of dining options within a 2-3 minute walk, from French bistros to Asian cuisine.
