What a wonderful find... Our stay could not have been better!
From the moment I booked the hotel, the communication was simply excellent. How can we help to make your stay more enjoyable? Do you need suggestions for restaurants, directions, things to do, etc.?
I arrived early to drop off my luggage and returned a few hours later to check in. Sylvain offered us something to drink, entertained us, answered questions, and made us feel really welcomed. We finally made it up to the 6th floor (Room 61 - Le Paradis) in the typically tiny elevator. Our luggage had already been taken up.
Once we entered the room, we couldn't believe our eyes. Yes, the room is small (it's a 3-star hotel at a very attractive price) but very tastefully furnished. Every corner is used. It's not a 'standard' room but has character. And the bathroom! We took pictures since we got some ideas for our guest bathroom at our house.
I travel a lot, and sometimes things go wrong. Not a big problem. It always matter how the hotel recovers. The first morning, the maid must have been in a hurry to make up our room and overlooked a few things. When it was brought to the hotels attention, not only was everything fixed immediately but we received a handwritten note from the manager and a very generous surprise upon our return in the evening.
We had a wonderful time and will be back for sure! I would highly recommend Hotel Helussi when in Paris. Forgot to mention that the location is great as well, about 10 minutes from Gare Du Nord, a few steps from the metro as well as about 5 minutes from bus line that takes you straight to the Eiffel Tower. read more
