Review of Hôtel Vic Eiffel 3*

We had a lovely stay at the Vic Eiffel and would return in a heartbeat. The staff were all wonderful, especially the evening and night staff. Everyone was friendly and went out of their way to be helpful, to give directions and to provide tips. While I'm not fluent in French, I was able to speak French about 80-90% of the time and the staff were helpful if I had questions even when I stumbled over my French. Morning breakfast was great. Fresh bread, cheese, jams, coffee and tea. The cooked eggs bacon and beans were sometimes a bit dry in the morning but nothing too terrible. Rooms were roomy enough. My father loved the coffee machine in the room and raved about it each morning. Showers were large and HOT which I appreciated as our hotel in London had a terrible shower. The showers here had lots of water flow, and both a mounted shower head and a movable one. Rooms were always clean. Elevator is very tiny (can't fit more than 2 people in it) but we managed. We booked a room with a view but were placed in a room that looked over more the shed area than the open garden eating are (but it wasn't worth complaining about. View was still acceptable). Rooms were very quiet and they had black out blinds which were a major plus for tired travellers. The only critique I have is that the lighting in the bathrooms was very poor. Trying to do my makeup in the morning was a challenge as I did not have enough light to see properly. I would highly suggest putting in a higher wattage light bulb or switching to the long term bulbs that are much brighter. Aside from that it was great. Thank you for a wonderful stay. The breakfast morning staff were so sweet. One lady went out of her way to get me my favourite tea (earl grey) and when we left in the morning on the Eurostar she had packed Pain au chocolate in a little paper bag for me as she knew they were my favourite. It was the little things like this that endeared us to your hotel and we will definitely return the next time we are in Paris! Merci beaucoup!
