Always check on construction before booking a hotel

This is a true 3-star hotel, unlike many others with that rating . There were two 4-person elevators. The bed was large; the bathroom was spacious and contained a real shower, (but of course, no shower curtain, so the floor got wet.) Like all French rooms there was a paucity of outlets. The toilet leaked water all day and night. The American breakfast is certainly adequate but expensive, and you would do better to go out to a nearby cafe. Wifi is always challenging in France. The concierge was young and inexperienced and couldn't help us much with restaurants. The dining room was not inviting enough to lure us in. The location is unbeatable and courtyard rooms are quiet. The Rue de Rivoli has become chintzy and touristy, but the Jardin is just across the street. All in all, a good value.

Neighbourhood recommendations: 1st Arrondissment, if you are interested in museums and value peace and quiet.

Getting there: Avoid JFK at all costs.

St James & Alban

I have been going to the St James & Alban Hotel for over fifty(!) years. It is old, but the rooms are large with high ceilings, the staff attentive, and the location is ideal. Just in front of the Louvre Museum. The price wasn't bad either.

A Youth Hostel is probably cleaner that this place

The very unhelpful staff watched as we unloaded our 10 bags of luggage from the taxi. Room looked like my college dorm. Ongoing construction mess in the lobby. I could go on with a long list of reasons why you shouldn't stay here, but you should get the point by now.

Amenity highlights: Two of the hotel’s magnificent reception rooms are decorated in classic period style, with crystal chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling window doors that open onto the garden patio during warmer weather. Fully-equipped meeting rooms in smaller sizes are also available. The concierge can help arrange many outdoor activities in Paris and the near suburbs.

Insider tip: To avoid standing outside in long lines for the Louvre Museum, avoid the glass pyramid entrance and enter instead through the underground shopping center, Carrousel du Louvre, at 99 Rue de Rivoli.
