Das Schiff ist wunderbar gelegen an einem kleinen Kanal, man kann hier die Ruhe genießen, früh morgens zwitschern die Vögel und der Kuckuck ruft.

(I’d recommend contacting owners - you often need a code for locked gates to get quai side - they don’t give you this information so you need to request it) we found the setting beautiful. Loved the decor in the Art Deco room of the Barge. The hosts provide everything needed, even putting milk, butter and orange juice in the fridge on arrival which was a nice touch. Lovely to sit on your balcony overlooking the docks. Bed and bedding not the...

Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel

Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel. Clean, very comfortable and friendly. Staff were outstanding especially in the breakfast restaurant, lady whose parents were from the Cameroons, waitress in bar/ testaurant on Minday afternoon when we arrived and those in left luggage particularly Samir who went 'above and beyond' to be gelpful to us. Fabulous place will definitely stay again."
