Review of Maison Souquet, Hotel & Spa 5*

We stayed in Paris for 3 days and two nights and stayed here the whole time because we want to be in the hip Monmartre neighborhood. I have been debating whether to give the place 3 or 4 stars for reasons which I will explain below. First, the positives: 1. The entry, lounge, and common areas of this hotel are fantastically beautiful. It really does feel as though you are stepping back in time. 2. The staff was impeccably courteous and professional, as you would expect from a 5 star hotel. 3. The room itself is beautifully decorated. 3. There is a private hammam which you can book for and hour at a time and this was really a nice touch. Now, the negatives: 1. The room was pretty tiny. We stayed in a junior suite and it was probably the tiniest suite we have every stayed in. I understand that this is Paris but I live in New York and I thought it was small for the price point. 2. The room was not particularly sound proof. I am a very light sleeper and the street outside is fairly loud, and there's a strip club right across the street. I used a white noise app which was somewhat effective. I understand that fully sound proofing a building such as this is almost impossible, but it should once again be reflected at the price point. 3. I went down to eat and they wanted about 20 dollars for two eggs. I wound up spending like 35 dollars for two eggs some bread and some coffee. Anyone that thinks that this is a fair price for a hotel (as I saw in other reviews) is drinking some serious cool aid. As you can see from my negatives, to me it's all a price point issue. When I am paying around 800 dollars a night I expect I perfect day and night experience, I shouldn't have to be using a white noise app and I shouldn't be gawking at the outrageous egg prices. I decided on 4 stars because it is a true boutique experience and the staff was very nice, but honestly I am being generous. I would say at around $4-500 it would be a truly worth while experience.
