Relais du Silence Hôtel des Tuileries

The hotel is in an excellent location less than 5 mins walk to the Louvre and Opera.

Room was small, but typical of Paris.The room safe broke with our items locked in it, took 2 days to fix. The hotel did offer to lend us anything we needed.

Loved the location - around the corner from lots of nice cafes and restaurants and within walking distance to most tourist attractions.

(1) Staff attitude. First night we arrived and were told that we could only have three beds (not four - "Superior Triple plus free extra bed" - as booked) per room as this was the "hotel standard". Took the best part of an hour to get an extra bed - and then we had to make it ourselves (at 11pm!). No apology next morning. (2) Next evening we were woken by (same) receptionist shouting on the phone. Check-out receptionist was very sweet, though. (3) 15€ per child for breakfast is a bit steep!

The central location was the best point.

The room was very small but not unusual in this older type of Hotel in Paris. The rate seemed very high at €200 per night but maybe the fact that Fashion Week and the Motor Show were both on had something to do with this. I have normally paid less than €150 for similar hotels.
