HÔTEL DU PRINCE EUGÈNE PARIS 11TH ARRONDISSEMENT

COSY 3 STAR PROPERTY IN THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH A GREAT STAFF

The Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris value is incredible.

I stayed for less than $150 fully loaded with tax, etc.

There is a shutter and blackout drapes, but the view was so beautiful, I kept the shades open and fell asleep to clouds passing over moonlight in Paris!

This is THE place to rest and base your visit in Paris.

I can't wait to return to Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris.

It feels like staying with family.

The room is not huge, but it is perfect.

I walked to sites and attractions in the 3rd, 4th, 9th, 8th and 10th arrondissements.

Marche Aligre is a short walk away and my all-time favorite Marché Bastille (aka Marché Richard-Lenoir) is a spirited 30 minute walk away through the authentic Faubourg St. Antoine.

The family operated Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris is a little more than five minute walk to Charonne area that is packed with Michelin starred and local restaurants plus plenty of bars and quaint cafes.

The neighborhood is safe, quiet and filled with locals.

You will feel like a Parisian.

Saime Voltaire Boulangerie, Au petit Panisse, and Boucherie John Gillot were excellent local foodie places very close to the hotel.

The Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris front desk staff spoke excellent English and was very helpful and professional.

The location is perfect.

It’s about a five minute walk from Nation station that takes you everywhere in Paris via Metro and RER trains.

My bed at Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris was large and comfy.

There is a small elevator.

The bathroom was large, modern and the shower had endless warm water.

There were nightstands on each side with plugs for my white noise machine and charging phone.

A small desk with coffee maker was space enough for morning pastries and a final day lunch in my room.

Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris is incredible.

My room was so quiet.

I got a 6th floor room -- the top floor -- despite a discount booking.

It is a typical Haussmann building with garret style apartment with gabled wall and tilt out window.

The views over the Pairs rooftops were dreamlike.

ADAGIO ACCESS PARIS REUILLY -- part 5

GREAT PARIS APARTMENT-HOTEL IN 12th ARRONDISSEMENT

The Adagio Access Paris Reuilly has a small, onsite, self-serve breakfast area on the ground floor (there also an inner courtyard terrace for warm weather.

The courtyard is decorated, for several vertical stories, with neon lights.

They look cool and hip – but they lit up my room at night.

I was in room 101, facing the back – it would benefit either from the neon being turned way down/off at night.

Better still, install blackout curtains.

The room has one small window – equipping with big, no gaps blackout drapes would serve the savvy travelers attracted to the Adagio brand.

The Accor Hotels site for the Adagio Reuilly is:

I got a slightly better deal through Booking.com:

ADAGIO ACCESS PARIS REUILLY -- part 4

GREAT PARIS APARTMENT-HOTEL IN 12th ARRONDISSEMENT

Dear Adagio Access Paris Reuilly: I’m sharing some ideas to make a great room perfect.

Put the room safe anywhere but the bottom floor of the closet.

Coming off a long flight and being mid 50s, the last thing I want to do is get down on hands and knees and kiss the floor to access the safe for stowing my passport. 

Raise it up to waist height.

Put in a toaster.

The cooktop and microwave are very nice, but for morning toasting of all sort of French bread, bagels, even pastries -- I needed a toaster or small toaster oven.

Put a chain on the stopper in the wet room sink. 

I pushed the stopper down to do laundry in the sink -- a very common practice for road warriors -- and could never open it again.

The sink filled up with soap suds, toothpaste waste, etc -- fix this oversight.

Adagio Access Paris Reuilly is a great deal because I got a room at a great time of year in Paris (September) for 200 USD per night -- fully loaded with VAT including.

I don't want to pay extra for a big lobby, tired crappy round the clock restaurant, gift shop, concierge, or 10 stupid decorative pillows on the bed upon arrival.

I'm a savvy traveler, so that extra crud insults me and tacks on 50 USD or more per night – making me pay for things I don't want.

Thank you, Accor/Adagio, for figuring out that there are those of us who will eat local, figure things out for ourselves and be low maintenance on housekeeping and staff -- so savings are passed on to us.

One other super high bonus point – the 3 star amenity (4 of 5 in ratings) property has 6 rooms adapted for people with disabilities.

The apartments at the Adagio Access Paris Reuilly range from a 20 square meter studio to a 35 square meter one bedroom.

I had the studio and was amazed by the efficient use of space.

I loved the wet room – no enclosure around the shower.

I don’t know how the floor dry so quickly, but every hotel on the planet should use the same not slippery, super-fast-to-dry material.

The bed was firm and super comfortable.

The fridge plenty big, as were the kitchen sink, cooktop and microwave.

I'm low maintenance.

I do not like housekeeping barging in daily.

At the Adagio property, housekeeping is an extra charge unless you stay 7 days or longer.

That suits me perfectly.

I like to go to local/artisanal markets to buy some snacks, breakfast items, bottled water, and local food to keep in fridge.

The Reuilly property accommodates that perfectly.

ADAGIO ACCESS PARIS REUILLY

GREAT PARIS APARTMENT-HOTEL IN 12th ARRONDISSEMENT

I’m not normally big on chain hotels, but the Accor Hotels’ Adagio Access Paris Reuilly was perfect for nearly two weeks of business and pleasure in the City of Light.

I give the brand new, non-smoking low-rise hotel high marks for:

• Great price point
• Super close to major subway stations
• Helpful, low-key staff.
• Location in a neighborhood more authentic/less tourist-choked than closer-in arrondissements.
• Very close to the hip and eclectic 11th Arrondissement.

Quiet is very important to me.

I don't know how a budget place could be better built than a high end property, but I never heard construction sounds during my stay.

And the entire city block opposite this property is under heavy construction.

My room was right next to the apart-hotel’s two elevators -- like inches away.

But I never heard the typical people departing the elevator at night talking loud sounds.

Bravo.
