Hotel Muguet

Planning our first trip to Paris in August and having read forums will book at the Hotel Muguet. Have been told no rooms available with views of Eiffel Tower left. Is there another %26quot;good%26quot; room to ask if available or alternatively a %26quot;bad%26quot; one to avoid or are they all okay? Also is there a lift (elevator) at the hotel. Thanks for any assistance available.

I don%26#39;t know about %26quot;good%26quot; and %26quot;bad%26quot; rooms. My single room looked out into a courtyard surrounded by lots of other apt. buildings. It was really nice.





There is an elevator, but it is small - fits 1 person and a suitcase quite uncomfortably. As a side note, one day when I was there, the elevator was broken, but they got it fixed immediately. It%26#39;s a great hotel.

The %26#39;..trophy..%26#39; room to score at the HOTEL MUGUET is supposed to be #51, with spectacular views of th Eiffel Tower...but from all reports, rooms are assigned on a %26#39;..run-of-the-house..%26#39; basis. But it never hurts to ask.

We just returned from Paris and stayed at the Hotel Muguet for 5 nights. We enjoyed it very much. The rooms are small (not for Paris) and immaculate (large fresh soft towels every day). Our room was on the third floor and overlooked rue Chevert. I loved being able to open the windows and look out onto the street. It was very quiet and centrally located to all sites. They had internet access in the lobby (2euro per 1/2 hour) and a great iron (I called it an iron on steroids) that was available for use in the basement. We didn%26#39;t partake in breakfast as we always got an early start on the day and found many places for coffee and pastry close by. We tried a number of nearby cafes for dinner and found a couple worth mentioning. Cafe Constant (located not far from the hotel and near the Eiffel Tower) was great and was less than 100 euro for a complete meal for two including wine. There was another place that was pretty lively at night and one could tell that it was popular with the local young professional crowd starting at around 9pm. The menu was limited but the food was good and inexpensive. I don%26#39;t remember the name but it is very close to the hotel and right outside the ecole militaire metro stop. It has %26quot;7 emme%26quot; in the name on the red awning and is located directly across the street from the gourmet cheese and chocolate shop and the grocery market) We ate outside as it was always very crowded inside and the music was pretty loud. This is not a good place if you are looking for a quiet dinner. Hope this information helps and that you enjoy Paris as much as we did.

Is it best to ask for non-smoking room if they have one available - or is this not a problem
