Review of Hotel Duquesne Eiffel 3*

We just returned from a six night stay at Hotel Duquesne Eiffel, and we can't say enough good about the place. The concierges were so helpful about absolutely everything. When I came down with a stomach bug, Patrick directed my wife to the nearest Pharmacie (by the way, the French medical system has it all over the US — — pharmacists can prescribe and dispense antibiotics and other medications you can't get here without getting an M. D. 's prescription), and then sent up a glass of anisette — — his grandmother's remedy. Laeticia and especially Alex (aka "the Great") gave us all kinds of hints about restaurants, best times for museums, travel. Everything. Our room (#55) was small by American standards but lovely (come on — — you're not going to hang out in your room in Paris! ). The queen sized bed was terrific, with the absolutely best hotel pillows we've ever used. The bathroom was also small but lovely, and our window opened out on a small balcony from which we could see Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. Breakfast is delicious and at 13 Euros not all that expensive, considering it's all you can eat. It's two blocks to the Ecole Militaire metro station; there's a bus stop across the street; easy walk to restaurants (including ones on Rue Cler), to Champs de Mars and the Tower, to Les Invalides and the Rodin Museum. They partner with a shuttle service to the airports. This is a terrific, lovely, exquisite place to stay. It will be our headquarters whenever we return to Paris, which we hope will be both often and soon.
