Breakfast was disappointing and very expensive given what you receive. Staff was friendly and helpful

Special place in Paris

I am travelling a lot to Paris for business reason and the hotels I use to book in this area of the city where fully booked so I finally choose the Lavoisier based on their nice website and Trip Advisor's positive reviews. The lobby directly gives you a nice feeling as it is very cosy and looks like it was renovated recently. The atmosphere of this small hotel is quite unique in Paris, with a small frontdesk where you sit in a comfortable chair while the very kind Fabienne takes care of your check-in. My room was nice and clean, even if very small; I was lucky to be alone cos it would have been challenging to stay with two persons in such a small area. Bathroom was OK too, though I never understood how to have a shower in a bath without flooding the rest of the bathroom, as there's no curtain! Major disappointment was the breakfast, incredibly basic (just a small piece of baguette, industrial jam), to take in the basement of the house which is quite dark due to absence of windows.

Glad to return "home"

This is my "nth" stay and return to Le Lavoisier. I consider it my home in Paris. The staff remains attentive and caring to my needs. On this past trip (3 stays in over 3 weeks), I used the Lavoisier as my landing in Europe before moving to Bordeaux (wine-country trip); returned for a week in Paris; and my wife spent her last two days in France after she visited family and I had returned home. On the last stay, I heard only great things for my wife on her two days there. This demonstrates that once more my trust in their staff is not misplaced. The Lavoisier is a smaller Paris-style hotel, with good rooms whatever size you chose. Do not expect resort-style or North American space and amenities.
