Прекрасный отель Lovely hotel

We rested at the hotel from July 17 to July 24.2009. We stayed in it on our own.
From the very beginning, this hotel was attracted by the fact that there was not a single bad review about it on the Internet. The negative thing boiled down to one thing: the fact that it has a very small elevator (we even found it cool, we had never seen such an elevator, but the two of us were very comfortable).
We found the hotel right away. The map downloaded with the location of the hotel turned out to be very successful (tip: download maps from the Internet, paper maps do not contain small streets, and this is the main reason for wandering when everything is nearby! ).

The way to the hotel upon arrival in Paris by RossyBus from Charles de Gaulle airport. The main thing is to find the Boulevard Des Italiens from the Grand Opera in the streets running in all directions and then straight along it there will be Boulevard Montmartre, then Boulevard Poissonniere, then turn left onto Rue du Faubourg Poissonniere and there the second turn to the left into the small Sainte Cecile street and immediately right to Rue de Conservatoire, where the hotel is located.
As soon as they entered, they realized that this is what they were looking for. Maybe it was the fact that we carefully studied all the photos on the Internet, so there was a feeling that we were in a familiar place.
I was also attracted by the fact that the reviews said that a Russian girl worked at the reception. In fact, there are two girls working there who speak Russian, and another Pole who knows Russian. In general, at first, they thought that this was a hotel for Russian-speakers, because both the instructions in Russian were on the door of the breakfast room and on the elevator, on television the RTR-Planet channel, at breakfast, too, there was completely Russian speech nearby (this is already then we realized that only ours get up for breakfast at the opening of the restaurant, and foreigners pull themselves up in an hour).
Breakfast is decent: two types of cold cuts, two types of hard cheese, assorted fruits, cereals, croissants, butter and jams in small packs, rolls. Tea bags, brewed coffee (very good).
Cleaned every day, linen changed after 3 days. Everything is clear. Soap, gels and glasses were provided every day.
Plumbing, air conditioning worked properly.
Our windows overlooked the street (as we ordered). By the way, the rooms in the hotel overlooking the street are all large, but in the courtyard, on the contrary, they are small. We booked the hotel 2 months in advance. In our wishes, which the travel agency forwarded to Paris, we painted everything to the smallest detail, including the number of floors, the view from the windows to the street, a double bed, etc. What is nice, they took into account almost all our wishes.
As I think, with advance booking, all applications are taken into account, but with last-minute booking, the rooms get, as they say, “what is left”.

To the metro 10 minutes on foot. Nearest stations: Bonne Nouvelle (lines 8 and 9) or Cadet (line 7). We used the seventh line when we went to the center, since it is very convenient to come to the Louvre (5 stops), and on the way back we tried to take the eighth or ninth line in order to go along Boulevard Montmartre and go to the supermarket to buy food and water or return on foot.
Nutrition. You can eat for a long time at breakfast. As for lunch, with a complete lack of knowledge of French, despite the abundance of cafes, they avoided eating there. We dined a couple of times when we had tours in self-service restaurants with a group, and even in the Louvre restaurant (there is also self-service and everything is signed), as well as in the cafe of the Montparnasse skyscraper (they speak English there). At random, we turned up the restaurant "Chez Aleksandre" with a Russian-speaking waiter. There we tried the famous onion soup and frog legs. This restaurant is located at La Fayette, 16 on the way from the hotel to the Grand Opera. By the way, the path to the hotel from the Grand Opera lies precisely along La Fayette, but without knowing this street, it is more difficult to navigate, so for the first time I recommend following the path indicated at the beginning of the review.
Dinner was bought in supermarkets. The nearest supermarkets along the way are Monoprix (Boulevard Montmartre) and G20 (Rue Bleue on the way to Cadet metro). Salads, cheeses, baguettes and a bottle of wine cost 12-15 euros for two.
The week went by like a fairy tale. Have a nice holiday!
