Paris is an expensive hotel city, its nearly impossible to find a good deal anywhere in the central areas. Grande Hotel Lévêque is not an exception but it does have some things going for it, though the word "Grande" should be removed...its a regular small European hotel. We s PROS: -Near perfect location! Rue Cler is an amazing local street with boutique shops, restaurants, and artisan food sellers of cheese, wine, meats, and more. Metro stop about a 5 minute walk away. -Very small, but clean and modern room. -Satisfying breakfast. CONS: -Very small room! -Double bed is pushed up in the corner...always awkward with 2 people. -Plastic cups instead of glass, and they don't replace them! -The smallest elevator on Earth. $700 for 4 nights is a lot of money, but its the Paris norm and actually cheaper than many other hotels. Still, I'll probably research further if there's a better place to stay on my next Paris visit. read more

This is a small boutique European Hotel. For seasoned European travelers the hotel, staff, amenities, etc. will come as no surprise. The rooms are what you would expect - Queen size bed, table, closet and an ensuite bath. We used this hotel room as a home base and were gone 90% of the time. The room was safe, secure, and a welcome respite from the day's activities. The staff is excellent and are all accomplished English speakers. The complimentary breakfast was a delight and everything you would expect from a continental petit dejeuner. On the rue Cler in the 7th Arrondissement is replete with shops and restaurants - we adopted one and went there for most of our dinner meals. The competition is keen on the rue Cler so all of the food is first rate. If you have gone to Paris to see the city and not the hotel room, then this is your place. read more

Staff was very unaccommodating and sometimes hard to even find someone working the front desk. Information I did receive from them was often wrong. The location is somewhat close to the Eiffel tower, but other than that there is not much to visit in the area. I highly recommend finding a different place to stay in Paris that is more accommodating and more centralized. read more

This small boutique hotel is in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower and is well-positioned for walking many of the historical sites in Paris. We chose this hotel for that reason, but would choose another option the next time around. The elevator here is tiny, and that's ok, but just be prepared. One person and one bag can fit at one time OR you can place two bags in the elevator, press the button and meet your luggage at whatever floor you pick. Service was ok. The daytime front desk gal was the most helpful and friendly, with the evening/nighttime guys needing some coaching on being a bit friendlier. Though, at one point, we had run out of toilet paper (during the day) and the front desk gal questioned why we needed another roll. Really? That was uncomfortable. We also spent a day without our garbage emptied, but that wasn't a big deal. It just added to some lack of attentiveness by the cleaning person. Our room was tiny, bland and uninviting. In fact, it was so tiny that we couldn't unpack. After one night, my husband asked if we could move to a different room, and when the front desk gal showed him our other option, we jumped on it! Even though it was the same room category, it was larger, appeared to have been renovated, had some color, and offered room to move around and space to unpack and store our belongings. Hotel Leveque offers a $10 breakfast but since the location of this hotel is on Rue Cler, surrounded by cafes, it just didn't make sense to eat here. We regularly enjoyed breakfast next door or a few doors down and spent just as much or less. They also offer free Wi-Fi which worked well for us. Overall, there just wasn't anything interesting about this hotel to make us come back. Why two rooms in the same room category were different sizes really baffles me. The little things like leaving a full garbage can and questioning our need for another roll of toilet paper, well, those little things matter. The location of this hotel is PERFECT which is why we'll take a look at the other hotels also on Rue Cler next time we visit Paris. read more

Ok. This isn't the Hilton but it has everything going for it. Location, location, location!! Friendly staff, clean if small room. You are only a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, and Rue Cler is a Parisian dreamland. The downside is the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything your neighbor says. But who cares?? Look where you are! I highly recommend this place. read more

Grand Hôtel Lévêque - Hotels Near Me - Paris, 75

Stayed here for three nights during my honeymoon in one of their updated rooms with a balcony overlooking Rue Cler. Pros: The staff are friendly, location is excellent, price is decent. Cons: You can hear every word and bodily noise of people in nearby rooms and hallways. The bathrooms are exceedingly small (even for Paris), and the bed was not comfortable, with scratchy sheets. You have to leave your key at the front desk every time you leave the hotel, which seems a bit unecessary to me. I stayed at other hotels throughout Paris and other cities in France, and this was not common practice. read more

I came to Paris on a whim (literally booked my flight 8 hours before departure time) without booking a hotel. When I got there this was one of the only hotels that still had availability. Within walking distance from the Eiffel Tower. On a GREAT street in Paris! Rue Cler is adorable. Room was small but had everything i needed (safe, hair dryer, AC, TV, phone, etc). Perfect for those who are just using their room as a place to store their stuff and sleep. i've seen reviews on some sites where people have been complaining that wifi was not free, even though it was advertised as free on their website. i saw people paying for wifi at the desk. however, i was able to get a signal in my room without having to pay...so, take that as you will. Every time you leave the hotel you have to drop off your key at the front desk, which is kinda weird but whatever. The staff was very friendly and polite to me, all spoke wonderful english and helped make my stay in Paris a pleasant one. read more

This hotel felt a bit overpriced for the quality of the room, but the location on Rue Cler made up for any disappointment we had. We stayed for three nights, arriving Thursday and leaving Sunday, for 170 euro per night for a double room. The rooms were extremely tiny, and only left enough space for us to move around the double bed. The decor of the room was a simple modern, with a small desk, bed and little bathroom the size of a cruise ship. All the fixtures were new, and everything reminded me of an IKEA style. There was a closet with room for about 6 hangers, and a few little cubbies. The elevator of the hotel was the smallest I have ever seen, and could only fit one person with a suitcase. The best qualities of this hotel were the service and the location. The staff were extremely helpful, and assisted me in making restaurant reservations when I emailed them before my arrival. They also assisted us with directions numerous times, and their English skills were perfect. The hotel is located in the heart of Rue Cler, which is lined with shops, markets and cafes. We enjoyed Cafe du Marche, Tribeca, Petit Cler, and Cafe Central in our days staying there. It was a wonderful home base, and an easy walk to all the sights in Paris. Not sure whether I would stay here again, but there were definitely some advantages that are worth considering returning. read more

Location, location, location. We stayed 5 nites at this hotel and still rave about the location. It's a foodies paradise, a block away from the metro and next to so much good food (yes, i repeated myself). There are old and new rooms and we opted for an older room to save money. It was cozy and you could hear every noise in the other rooms, but it was ok with us since we were gone most of the day and nite anyways. Hotel staff was helpful and friendly. They have a cute wating area that they let us use to have our own picnic complete with cheese, fresh strawberries and baguette that we purchased from street shops (YUM)! The wireless does cost, but you can access the wifi for free at Petit Cler (next door) with purchase (may be a 24 hour limit). Finally, this is right next to the best chocolate place ever...i'll write a separate review for all the great restaurants. Yes, this is a Rick Steve's recommendation so you will see quite a few Americans. Safe Travels! read more

Summary based on one multi-night stay: --good tourist location on a street generally closed to traffic --caution: early morning deliveries can be noisy --friendly service patient with those with limited French --relatively inexpensive --is/was a Rick Steves' recommended hotel, so expect a lot of Americans read more

This place is exactly what I wanted for the price. Hotels in Paris are expensive, especially in good areas. While it's a no-frills hotel, it has all the basic things I needed for a great trip! Pros: - kind, english-speaking staff. From check-in to luggage storage to ordering transit to the airport, they made everything easy. - fast (free) wi-fi - particularly impressive compared to wi-fi in other (more luxury) hotels I used in Europe. - room was very clean (hard to accomplish in tiny, old, euro-hotels) - AC in room - and it works very well! - EXCELLENT location!!!! It's an easy walk to major tourist sites in Paris. Quick walk to metro. And Rue Cler (the street it's on) is absolutely adorable and has a very authentic Parisian feel. Lots of markets, restaurants, and shops of all sorts (cheese, meats, and wines). It is clearly frequented by locals but all the shop keepers speak perfunctory english and clearly, regularly deal with clueless tourists. Cons: - It's really no-frills. But if you know that going in, you won't be disappointed. - My single room was tiny (seriously a third of the size of my freshman dorm room), but I expected that based on the other reviews. I recommend skipping their breakfast because there are great places to get it on the street (and eat outside). read more

Our stay at Grand Hotel Leveque was a winner! I read previous reviews so just expected a decent, clean, PERFECT location hotel, and that's what we got! Rooms are small, clean, but comfortable enough, didn't spend much time in the room anyway. Staff was very friendly, helpful in getting tickets for attractions, and explaining the Metro service. Eiffel Tower was within walking distance as well as many excellent cafes. The Metro was just around the corner which provided great service to all attractions. The hotel offers a very unique characteristic, being that it sits on Rue Cler, a darling Parisian street for pedestrians only! It offers cafes, fruit and flower stands, a cheese shop, gelato and a fabulous bakery! We totally enjoyed our time at Grand Hotel Leveque and would stay there again! read more

This hotel was ok. The best part about it was the location. It's on a cute street full of markets and cafes, and it's blocked off from traffic. The room itself was pretty small, but it was doable. The quality was eh - the bedside tables kept falling off, so that was annoying. Then in the morning there was a banging for an hour, sounded like knocking but I'm not sure what it was. Overall, if you want to be near the Eiffel (10-15 min walk) and have cafes etc on your block, this is a decent option. read more

The location is the selling point here, so if that's all you care about book away. But otherwise it's extremely bare bones and not the best experience. First, expect no thrills whats so ever, two towels even with three guests, no appliances or ice machines, you leave the key at the desk. But granted all that is fine and what you would expect but! And here is my biggest problem. THE NOISE. You can hear everything from the street and it is compounded by the fact the hotel does not take into account guest patterns for their apparent renovations as I woke up to the sound of power saws and hammers the final three nights of my stay. As they consistently started before 9 AM with no regards to the noise. Also the cleaning staff can be quirky, left clothes lain on the floor and returned to the room to find them just lazily thrown towards the cabinet and the tissues were not replaced. read more

Hotel is in a very nice neighborhood near the Eiffel Tower. The check-in check out process was very easy and the room rate was good. The rooms were cleaned every day, and most of the front desk staff very nice and helpful. It would have been 4 stars, but my friend and I had a strange experience at the front desk the night before we checked out. One of our rooms keys was lost by the hotel and the attendant at the desk started questioning my friend about the room tax and asking for payment in cash as well as when he was checking out. It was uncomfortable and strange and we were very tried. The rooms also just had a comforter, no sheets or blankets and the walls very thin. Not sure if this is a Europe thing. If you want stay in an Authentic Paris neighborhood with minimal tourists and don't require fancy amenities, I would recommend. read more

This is a great little hotel ... but only if you're in Paris to hit the streets and simply need a place to crash at the end of the day. If you're expecting lavish accommodations - spa, concierge, luxury bath, etc - then look elsewhere. That said, on my multiple stays here, I've found the staff to be friendly and helpful, and my rooms to be adequately comfortable and very clean. What's most ideal about the hotel is the location. First of all, Rue Cler is a very charming street (a bit like a slightly touristy version of Lamb's Conduit here in London). The pedestrian only street hosts a fantastic cheese shop, a honey shop, a patisserie, a couple of bistros and a wonderful - and newly opened - little brasserie (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/181177-le-petit-cler-Paris) (owned by the gourmet heroes behind La Fontaine de Mars (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/83958-La-Fontaine-de-Mars-Paris) - one of my all time favourite restaurants in Europe and only a very short walk from Grand Hotel Leveque). There's a Metro station at the end of Rue Cler as well as a few others in close proximity. Of course, with the Eiffel Tower, Hotel des Invalides (with Napoleon's Tomb), Quai Branley all within walking distance, you may have no need to take pubic transportation at all! A variety of room sizes and rates are offered here. A double room will set you back about EUR100/night. For the convenience and the location, I doubt you'll find a better deal (but if you do, let me know!). read more

I have stayed at this hotel five times. I like that it's a pedestrian walkway and that anything you need is right on the street especially for someone traveling alone the rooms are small but who cares you sleep there and I think that they're very reasonable for the location I love this hotel I will stay there every time !!! read more

The hotel is in a good location, very close to the Eiffel Tower. Friendly staff. My only issue was the noise. Our room (triple room) was located above a bar and it was so loud at night, we had a tour planned that next day and had to be up early but it was impossible to sleep with all the noise from the bar. Also the elevators are so tiny you can't really fit more than one person. read more

Very quaint a cute hotel near the eiffel tower. Although i had a view of a wall; the room was clean and small but good. The front desk was good help. Conveniently located near restaurants and a good stay for 2 days since it is only near the eiffel tower and nothing much else. read more

Exactly what we expected! Great location, clean room, comfy bed, and kind staff! We will certainly be back! And yes, the rooms are small. But we didn't come to Paris to hang out in a hotel ;) read more

Good location on a cute street, terrible room terrible shower doesn't even have a normal shower head. And it's tiny!!! The elevator is so small my luggage barely fit in it I had to push it in. read more

stayed in this hotel, after I was given a switch and bait at another hotel. this hotel is great for americans. its fully AC-ed, ultra modern, has good breakfast and wifi. we stayed in the suite which was amazing. especially for honeymooners. also great walking proximity to everything (especially) if you ate as much as we did. there also a place called l'angolo divine that is a must for dinner. i believe it was near camp fiori... read more

Beware of bed bugs! Rooms need to be updated, very run down.
