Hôtel La Tamise - Esprit de France

Second visit to this charming hotel which stands on a quiet side street a few minutes walk from The Louvre. My stay was faultless which was reflected by the 10/10 I provided for location, cleanliness, staff etc. Am so glad I returned. Highly recommend.

The hotel is in such a great location to see the sites. The staff are lovely and helpful and the rooms well equipped.

Nothing!

Hotel was fine, nice location, we were able to leave luggage before check in and were offered to leave them after check out. Rooms were clean and nice. The staff was very friendly.

I was very disappointed by the hotel’s payment practices. The booking terms stated "no prepayment needed", yet the hotel placed a €317 pre-authorization hold on my card for 3 weeks before my arrival. The hold was only released after check-out, meaning my funds were blocked for 3 weeks IN ADDITION to the payment made on site. To be clear: this was not a temporary hold instead of payment, but an additional hold running alongside the full cost of the stay, which temporarily tied up over €600 of my funds. I strongly advise future guests to be aware that their funds may be frozen well in advance, despite what the booking conditions suggest.

Location was good and staff were very helpful. Rooms were clean.

Rooms were very small, bathroom was nice but again very small. There was no mini fridge in the room which meant we couldn't keep water provided cold, which was much needed during summer. Breakfast was very simple.
