For the price, Le Relais des Halles was excellent! The rooms were clean, not too small, and well appointed. Everything was in working order, and the decor was nice. The building itself is old, as are most of them in Paris, but that didn't really detract from the quality of the hotel itself except for some creaky stairs. We didn't notice any noise issues, either.
The location of the hotel is pretty unbeatable. It's situated right next to Chatelet les Halles, so it has excellent connections to the metro and to CDG airport. There are tons of restaurants and shops in the area, with Le Marais on one side and a quick walk to the Louvre on the other.
We arrived in Paris very early in the morning, and the front desk woman was very nice. She held our luggage and actually checked us in early (around 10am) because the previous guest in our room had checked out. It was kind of them to do that, as we were very jetlagged from the trip. read more
