Eiffel Kennedy Hotel

  • September 30, 2006
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Joy S from Manchester, United Kingdom
The hotel has 3 stars and is family owned. It is in a good location, within walking distance of the Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower. It is quite small with just 30 rooms.

The neighbourhood is very nice, quiet and safe, we were often out late in the evenings and always felt comfortable. There are several nice restaurants nearby, a good bakers just across the road and some lovely shops a few streets away. There are also a couple of supermarkets nearby which we found useful for stocking up on soft drinks and snacks.

Check-in was efficient, we arrived at 11am and our rooms were ready for us. The receptionist was friendly and gave us lots of useful information.

The rooms are very very small—in our experience though that is typical of a lot of Parisian hotels. We had a double bed and a small campbed pushed right next to it for our 3 year old son. We could barely manage to get our 2 suitcases into the room and shut the door.

Rooms are basic but comfortable and spotlessly clean. Our room had air-conditioning, a mini-bar, and a small, oldish television with limited choice of satellite channels—not a problem for us as hey, we didn't go to Paris to watch television.

We had a view of the Eiffel Tower from our room—albeit we did have to lean out of the window a little and look over the rooftops.

The bathroom was a reasonable size with small bath and powerful overhead shower. The wardrobe was actually in the bathroom (built-in) - there wasn't enough space for it in the bedroom area.

Breakfast is served in a small but really charming basement room. Tables were nicely laid and there was a selection of breads, cakes, cereals as well as freshly cooked eggs.

There are a couple of metro stops a short walk from the hotel, but there is also a really nice walkway to the Eiffel Tower. It is called Swan Island - a pedestrianised area on a dyke in the middle of the Seine, and goes from close to the hotel right to the Eiffel Tower. It is lovely, takes about 15 minutes, is peaceful and traffic-free (a rarity in Paris) and has some lovely views.

We booked our stay through a travel website, but my sister booked her room directly on the hotel's own website - she got a better deal. We both paid the same price, but her rate included breakfast - this was extra for us.

We really enjoyed our 4 nights in this hotel. The rooms are extremely small, but its good location, homely feel and welcoming and helpful staff make it, in our opinion, a great place to stay in Paris.
