Hotel Mayfair

We had a great experience porque overall. We were traveling with our two young children and the room was very comfortable, clean and the staff was great... everything was walking distance and the location was the best. Loved the hotel and defetnelly going back again.

We moved to Hotel Mayfair to escape an abysmal accommodation reviewed elsewhere. We were courteously and graciously received, conducted to our room by a most helpful bellman and made comfortable. Our room was spacious but not gaudy, clean and comfortable. We were undisturbed but helped in very way. The staff knew us within minutes of our arrival and greeted us as we came and went. When I needed to complete and item of business they solved my problem for me effortlessly. I was impressed and will return when I next am in Paris (which I hope is very soon). The city is beautiful but I was reading the visit after seeing the first hotel we tried. These folks vindicated their city. The location is magnificent for numerous sites including the Louvre, Place de la Concorde and everything within reach from there. I recommend this hotel without reservation.

From an American travelers point of view, European hotels do three things that are unfamiliar to us. First, they never provide a washcloth except upon request. We did not request one here so I don't know if one would have been forthcoming. Second, their heating systems are too efficient, making rooms too warm at night for our habit. I have never been able to solve this issue and accept it as part of the cost of traveling in Europe. Third, the bed cover always is a duvet or comforter, in American usage. Combined with the too warm room, the duvet is too much cover. We usually request a top sheet be provided. For some reason we did not do that in this case but I am sure one would have been provided had we requested it. All these things reflect European custom and cannot be taken as deficiencies, just as statements of expectation. Also, do not expect a shower curtain; expect a tub with a hand held shower to use in rinsing or in showering if that is your preference.
