Arvor - Paris, France 

We chose the Arvor after reading Tripadvisor reports and were very happy with it. It was newly decorated and refurbished. We had a spacious room with comfortable wide beds , very modern bathroom with full length bath, plenty of wardrobe space and a room safe. It is safe to drink the water from the tap. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke good English . Breakfast consisted of self service muesli or cornflakes, sometimes yogurt and cake, plus we were served with freshly squeezed orange juice, tea or very good coffee and a basket of fresh bread and croissants with butter and jam. There is free internet access and an enormous library (mostly in French). Just around the corner at 24 rue Clauzel is the No Stress Café where we had delicious vegetarian stir-fry (called wok on the menu) and excellent service.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in Oct.2007. Very good location (Metro station very close - Saint George), close to Sacre Coeur and small shops around the corner. The room - newly refurbished, very minimalist style, no curtain nets, no wardrobe (!!), TV (French TV only and CNN). Comfortable big bed (dbl room). Generally nice. Bathroom - very nice, warm, no shower curtain, but a bath (see photo). The hotel in general - very clean and tidy. The staff helpful, english speaking. We would recommend this hotel for short stay but not for honeymoon. Tea price at hotel bar - 3 Euro. Breakfast - 9 Euro, small portions, two types of jam, tiny bread, orange juice, tea or coffee. You can get cheaper (6 Euro) breakfast in nearby restaurans.
