Best Western Premier Trocadero la Tour

This was my first time in Paris, and I blindly picked this hotel, which left a particularly good impression. It's located in an upscale neighborhood, to the extent that I'd recommend it to friends. The room, while not huge, was very stylish. We were able to open two 28-inch suitcases flat (and there's even a storage closet). We stayed on the highest floor, the 7th, which had a terrace with a peek-a-boo view of the Eiffel Tower's tip. The front desk service, contrary to some reviews, was excellent. The staff, both men and women, spoke fluent English and were very nice. Their attitude was a huge improvement compared to some Parisian restaurant staff. The hotel's quietness was a big plus. The only downside might be that it's not as convenient as staying in a more touristy area. Getting to the Louvre, Seine, or Le Marais requires a long walk to the metro, so combining metro and taxis was more comfortable. On our first day, it was Labor Day and there was a thunderstorm, so nearly all restaurants and supermarkets were closed, making it impossible to find food. We added breakfast at the front desk for 20 euros per person, which was indeed pricey. If you plan on having breakfast, it's more cost-effective to book it with your room. There was only one bottle of water provided; extra bottles incurred a charge to the room, and there were two of us… While I felt it was a bit inconvenient, I understood. Luckily, there was complimentary lemon water available at the bar. Turning right out of the alley, there's a fantastic bakery called Chez Meunier – I recommend their pies, croissants, and baguettes; I saw locals buying them in bulk. Across the street is a Monoprix supermarket, and there's also a Carrefour nearby. For restaurants, definitely check their opening hours, as many are closed on holidays and Sundays. 🤦‍♂️

The hotel is over a kilometer away from the Eiffel Tower, and the nearest metro station is also a bit of a walk. The room is quite small, but they provide one bottle of water daily. The heated towel rail in the bathroom was very convenient. Breakfast was very simple, but since there aren't many other options nearby, it was more convenient to eat at the hotel. You get a discount if you book breakfast at the front desk the night before.
