I'm not used to staying at boutique/local hotels, and I had a lot of concern about doing so, particularly for such a long trip (11 days). Thankfully, my stay at Hotel Henri IV was fantastic for many reasons that I'd like to highlight:
1. The location is incredible. The hotel is in the midst of dozens of restaurants, bakeries, bars, and souvenir shops. There are multiple metros within a 5 minute walk: #10 (goes to Roland Garros, for example), RER B (goes to Charles de Gaulle airport), and RER A (goes to Eiffel Tower).
2. The room is equipped with well-functioning air conditioning (not common in France).
3. Housekeeping was very friendly, cleaning the room daily.
4. There is an elevator to get you and your luggage up to your room.
5. The front desk members are incredibly friendly, offering to look up restaurants or location recommendations. They also look after your key while you're out of the room (the keys are traditional heavy keys).
6. There is a working refrigerator in the room, easy to store water or other drinks purchased from next door convenience stores.
7. The bed is very comfortable, with ample power outlets on either side.
Thank you, Hotel Henri IV, for helping my Paris 2024 Olympics experience be so enjoyable!
