Amazing hotel. We have stayed twice and both times we had a wonderful experience with amazing service. I highly recommend this hotel.

We decided to stay here for our honeymoon during our trip to Paris since it was close to the Louvre and other main attractions. Upon booking, we noticed that the hotel charges per person rather than the room, which I found a little odd. I did appreciate the pre-arrival survey email that I received a week before we arrived. I'm glad they were able to accommodate us since we arrived a couple hours before check in. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed before we headed up to our room. One thing I noticed when we walked in was how hot it was inside. I wished they turned on the AC before we went inside so that we felt more comfortable. The room was a bit on the smaller side, but I assume that is common for rooms in Europe. Since we were here for our honeymoon, they were so kind and wrote us a note. They even provided us with some delicious macaroons! We were also given a room with a balcony (which I previously requested prior to booking). Nonetheless we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the views every time we woke up and when we got back at night! read more

We were scheduled to fly from Conakry to Dakar, and Dakar to Paris where we would then go to this hotel. Our flight from Conakry to Dakar was delayed which resulted in us missing the connecting flight to Paris. We are now stuck in Senegal for 24 hours at a random hotel. Hoping to find some solace, we tried to cancel the hotel stay we had planned at the Lumen since it was for 1 day and we would not be able to make it due to unforeseen circumstances. Turns out, we were disregarded entirely. They said they would keep our full amount, whether or not we made the reservation. And that there was no system for reimbursement in events such as these. Terrible customer service. Glad to know the true colors of the place we would have been staying at. Happy to NOT be staying here. Do yourself a favor and do not stay here. They don't have the basic decency to work with customers when problems out of their control arise. read more

Had a great stay here on my last visit to Paris and will definitely be staying here again! The location can't be beat, it's walkable to restaurants and cafes and is right next to the Tuileries gardens. The hotel is clean and sleek and the service is excellent. The rooms are larger than most hotels in Paris and are kept very clean. Check in wasn't supposed to be until later but they had our room ready when we arrived. They have coffee/tea and croissants in the lobby area for guests. The whole check in process was smooth and fast. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was delicious! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large and even had a bathtub. The view from our room was incredible. I highly recommend staying at this hotel! read more

Very welcoming and accommodating staff! Ideal location for restaurants and walking distance from main attractions such as the Louvre and the River. Clearly a safe location and district. read more

Very charming hotel. The Manager Alex was a true gentleman who went out of his way on a daily basis. Very centrally located in the city you could almost walk everywhere. Rooms could use a little TLC. read more

I loved my stay at Hotel Lumen. It was minutes in walking distance from the Louvre and the location was close to pretty much every museum and site that's needed to be seen. I only gave them 4 stars because breakfast was not included in the booking in which I think it should have been. Other than that I had a great stay. read more

We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was fantastic and very chic and exactly like we had imagined. I booked the romance package in advance which was great too. The staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke excellent English too. Like others have said the street noise can be heard but we'd still rather have this front facing room than one at the rear. Would def return if going back to Paris for a romantic trip! read more

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Lumen. The room was beautifully designed large space. A very comfortable bed and a soothing atmosphere. The hotel is small in size but very accessible to the Louvre and just a hop skip over the bridge to St. Germain. There is a small restaurant off to the side of the hotel that serves upscale Italian. The only downside is that the street is very busy and the city sounds can be heard from your room. But overall I loved my stay! read more

The hotel has a fantastic location. Small family driven hotel with all you need, but not everything you might want. Factor in the prize and it makes for a great deal. Would love to come and visit again read more

This is a sweet updated hotel (ask for an upgrade if you purchase a small room and look for deals on hotels.com or other websites. The hotel will try to accommodate). The beds are comfy and the bathroom modern and lovely. Clean, smells lovely (they spray perfumes in the hallways but not too much) free wifi and centrally located in a nice neighborhood close to the Louvre. The rooms are small, but we're in Europe y'all. I'd recommend this hotel, particularly if you don't plan on staying in the room all day, because it's quite comfortable to return to and relax after a long day outside seeing the sights. read more

A swanky little hotel centrally located con Paris. Great for tourists. First the good. Staff was very helpful and all spoke fluent English. Decor was on the trendy side (which I like). Rooms and lobby were all clean and professional looking. The balcony in our room overlooked the street and was very charming. We arrived early from a red-eye flight and they took our bags at about 11am. They prepared our room ready early for us ~130pm which was very nice since we were so jet lagged. Beautiful rain shower with additional handheld water hose. Now the bad. The WiFi was shaky at best. When it worked, the speed was very mediocre: usable for average net browsing but don't expect to stream movies or watch high quality YouTube videos. It also went an entire day or two without working at all during our 1 week stay. The shower only has a small glass wall to prevent water from getting outside the tub. Every time I showered, the floor would be covered in water. I had to get new towels daily because I was using them on the floor. Road noise outside the window. There wasn't construction during my stay so the noise was fairly consistent creating a "white noise" effect and didn't wake me very much. Overall I enjoyed my stay, barring a few annoyances, and would recommend Hotel Lumen to others. read more

My husband and I are staying here for the first half of our honeymoon and we are having an amazing time. I realize people feel the rooms are small, but the view and amenities are worth it. We arrived to a personal greeting from management and lovely bottle of wine. Our room and bathroom are cozy- we love to explore the city so everything in our room is exactly what we needed. We stayed in a standard double and the beds were soft as well as the sheets. Our package included the complimentary breakfast which consisted of cold meats, Brie, French bread and croissants, scrambled and hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit and delicious fresh squeezed juices with pulp. It's in the perfect location to walk to the Louvre, Nelson Mandela park, cafes.....it's just been an amazing stay so far and looking forward to the rest of our week here. Stay tuned for more pics! read more

Though the rooms are pretty tiny, the location, service, breakfast buffet, and overall quality of the hotel is excellent! I definitely suggest this hotel for your next Paris getaway!!! read more

A very small boutique hotel. Being a 4 star hotel, you can't compare this to other places like Las Vegas and such, because these hotels are in such old buildings, that is just the standard. However, moving forward, Its just a five minute walk to the Louvre and just a few blocks away from the park. The location is the key here. I'll provide some Pro's and Con's Pro's 1) The service was great. its what you expect from a 4 star hotel 2) The Buffet breakfast was fantastic. Its from 7 -11:30. They have all the meats and fruits you typically have at french cafe, along your typical croissants and Nutella and jams 3) The Location. This is key. immediately downstairs is a bagel sandwich shop, cafe's, a pharamcy, and the beginning of the shopping -- just to the right of the door. The Park and Lourve is only a few blocks away and you're definitely in the middle of the touristy area. There is also a small grocery store about a 2 minute walk away to the right of the hotel (Near The Kooples) 4) The beds are comfortable and they clean your immediately when you're gone. 5) They have ample closet space and a safe for your belongs, along with a mini-fridge (and mini-bar in it) 4) They have a device called "Handy something". This is basically a phone that the hotel gives you. You can do free text messaging, free calling, and free data. Its a little slow, but if you want to go around paris and use Google Maps (and have limited international data).. you can use this all day for your data needs. Con's 1) Because this is Paris, the rooms will be very small. Dont plan to spend a lot of time in the standard rooms. My Master bedroom was bigger. But... If you just plan to leave your stuff there and go explore and not picky about having a room relax in, then this is the hotel. If I could guess, the room is about 150- 200 sq feet large. But this is Paris, not Las Vegas. 2) the bathrooms are going to be small. There isn't a shower curtain, but a small glass wall... so water will get on the floor. oh well. 3) Its going to be small, but if you're ok with that want to pay $235 dollars a night, for 7 days... to be honest - I was never in the room much. Would I stay here again? I would recommend it, as long as you dont care about the room size. To be honest, the breakfast everyday was just amazing. I wouldn't stay here if you and your significant other need a big room. Other than that... its about location location location -- then take this place. Trust me. read more

This is probably one of the best, kept secrets in Paris! Lovely, little hotel, close to everything, friendly and helpful staff, and to top it off, a wonderful restaurant. I highly recommend this hotel. read more

We were only in Paris for one night and stayed at the Hotel Lumen. It was a fantastic location as it is central to all of the tourist attractions that we wanted to visit. As this was part of our honeymoon, I requested the romantic package to surprise my new wife. Although the room was slightly delayed in being ready due to this, the reception and concierge were very discreet and accommodating. As mentioned in other reviews, the room is not that spacious and the shower does not have a curtain/wall so be aware that if you leave clothes laying around, they will get wet! All in all, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend due to its location, smart presentation and good customer service. read more

In spite of one terrible review we found this hotel to be as advertised. Yes, the rooms are small, but this is Paris-get over it. The wait staff was excellent, giving directions to excellent eateries. The breakfasts (which we paid extra for) were varied & very good. Rooms were clean & the hotel was located near transportation & many restaurants. Was going to give a 3 star but the gentleman at the reception desk was worth the extra star!!! read more

Sometimes you can't go by the star rating of a hotel. It's IMPERATIVE to read as many reviews as possible about the hotel before booking seven nights. Do my husband and I wish we would have done so. We found Hotel Lumen on various hotel search engines, but Otel.com was offering the best rate/package. We got seven nights including breakfast buffet for two and wifi for $1,718 ($245 a night). We were pretty thrilled since it was a great rate for a hotel rated four stars; the best we could find compared to other four star hotels. The pictures on the internet were spectacular. We couldn't wait for the day to arrive for our European getaway. Fast forward five months and we arrive at the Lumen around 11am. We knew our room wouldn't be ready, so they placed our bags in their luggage closet. We returned around 3pm and are taken to our room; number 302. Our luggage was already inside. When we walk in, we couldn't believe this was the room they gave us. Let me start by saying that the room must have been no bigger than 150 square feet. It was pretty pathetic. It was so small, we had to figure out for a while how to arrange our luggage to be most efficient. The lighting in the room was the poorest I've ever had in any hotel room (and we've traveled even to the poorest of countries). The walkway lighting was so terrible, I couldn't even use it to apply makeup. The quality of that light was so bad, every flaw of my body appeared and reflected in that mirror. JI wanted to shoot myself. It was depressing, for a pregnant woman like me, to see that. Plus, the mirror was shattered and had clear tape holding it together. You mean to tell me that a four star hotel doesnt have the funds to replace that mirror? What if someone gets hurt opening the closet door where the mirror is at? The bathroom was super tiny as well. The bathtub was so tiny, I had to take a shower sideways in order to fit properly. Mind you, I'm 5'1 weighing 130 lbs. That tub isn't meant for tall and perhaps full shaped people. There was no space in the bathroom to lay down all my toiletries. I had to keep them in my toiletry bags. They did provide a tiny round table in the bathroom, but it was for the toiletries they provided. That is all that could fit there. Towels were provided for two, but after day one, they stopped providing us hand towels. Why? I have no idea. After each shower, the room got so hot and humid, we had to open the windows in order to feel cool and comfortable, but since it was freezing outside, we couldn't leave the window open too long. The carpeting in the room was pretty disgusting. Where the carpeting meets the tile of the bathroom, the carpet was always damp. I'm guessing from humidity. It was so gross, we had to wear our sandals all the time and we never walked barefoot. Are you looking for a quiet place to sleep? Then don't get any room near the street. WOW, construction started at 6AM with construction men yelling at each other. If a car was in a truck's way, be prepared to hear his horn full blast for 10 seconds straight until the car in front of him moves. This hotel has no travel converter, so if it's of utmost importance to do your own hair, buy European hair tools. Their hair dryer in the bathroom was very weak and our travel adapter and converter blew the moment we plugged it in. I was not happy. I had to go spend 60 Euros on a mediocre blow-dry because of it. Buffet breakfast was OK. Hot chocolate was very bland and they served the same thing every single day. An assortment of pastries are offered along with cereal, scrambled eggs, and overcooked ham. Internet service was great. Very fast, but a code had to be entered each and every time I opened and closed my laptop. Overall, this place was very disappointing. I would never recommend this place to anyone unless you are looking to get ripped off and stay in the room that looks like a crack house in The Projects. Terrible....... read more

Pictures and design are irrelevant if most things are shoddy and the hotel restaurant cranks up the music when the employees are cleaning up at midnight and you have an early appointment the next day. I have stayed here twice both times on business trips I have experienced a place that tries to be trendy but with most things falling apart. For example the TVs have recently been refurbished and so now, at the admission of staff, they don't quite work properly. On my 2nd stay the bed collapsed as a sat on it (no hanky panky needed). The shower pointed on to the floor so I could only take a 3 min shower before flooding ensued. The staff said they fixed it but they had done nothing. But by far the worst thing was the noise on my second stay from the hotel restaurant, Oscar. For some reason they decided to crank up the "Ibiza rave" trashy music as I was trying to go to bed around midnight to get up for an early meeting. They said they would turn it off but ignored my request and turned it down an inconsiderable smidge. The night before there had been similar noise that came from across the street that the staff were quick to call the police for. But if they make the noise themselves it is somehow okay. The wifi mostly works but needs to be reconnected every 20mins. It is to be avoided for business travellers and only to be used by deaf and drunken revellers. If you must stay, avoid the breakfast brunch which is twice the local price and nothing special anywhere and especially not in Paris. read more

We enjoyed our 3 night stay. It was a great location. The room was small as expected. But very nice. Our only complaint was that the a/c doesn't work well. Every request or issue was taken care of immediately. This is very close to all HoHo bus stops and a very short walk to the Louvre. A supermarket on the same block. Many restaurants and cafe's around the corner. read more

My Wife and I loved are stay in Paris at this hotel. The staff was awesome and they helped us with everything we needed. The room was clean and the free bottle of wine is always nice. Maybe it's because we live in a major city that the noise from the street was no issue to us. But you are in the middle of a busy street so I would be worried if there wasn't any traffic. About the room size it's in the heart of Paris so spend more time outside since the location is fantastic. My wife and I plan to go back later this year and stay at this place. We have also told are friends about it. read more
