Hotel Regina, Paris

This was our first time in paris for my husbands birthday. The hotel accomodated my request of a room with a view of the tuilliere gardens and the eiffel tower. We were on the 5th floor in a standard double room with balcony and excellent views. We chose to take our continental reakfast in our room which was a good size with bathroom facilities. Ideal location for the louvre (across the road 2 min walk) Within walking distance of many attractions. Clean and good value for money would definately return to this hotel

The hotel has lovely public areas. After that, unless you pay a small fortune you are out of luck. The walls and ceiling were cracked, bed hard as a rock. Carpet was threadbare. Bathroom featured a very tall tub shower you had to step up 6 inches into, a shower curtain that did not extend the full length of the tub, but much hot water, thankfully, was available. Water pipes banged throughout the night, but other than that, room was very quiet. Amenities were nonexistent. A tiny room was open for luncheon, indoors. The lovely patio and dinner restaurant advertised were closed. Staff, while congenial, had no suggestions on food, or anything else. The location is magnificent. If you plan to spend over $500 or so per night and get the top of the line room, might be worth it. Anyone not amazingly rich, find a better hotel. My May 2006 stay will be my last. Lots of hotels in that vicinity, and I can't see how any of them could be worse than Hotel Regina.

The location next to the Louve was grand. Room was amall. The service at the restaraunt (for breakfast) was, lets say, non existant.

We have stayed at the Regina twice. Each time, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel can't be beat! You're right next to the Louvre and the Metro and within walking distance to so many points of interest. The pick up spot for Cityrama is also right next to the hotel, which is wonderful.
