Hôtel Alfred Sommier Reviews

For our trip, we booked two rooms and, as there were three of us, stayed in a connecting room. This was very convenient, as it featured two independent rooms linked together, each with its own bathroom. Complimentary soft drinks from the mini-bar were also provided. The hotel's location is quite good. It's within walking distance of major shopping destinations like Galeries Lafayette and Rue Cambon, and there are trendy noodle restaurants nearby. However, the hotel seems to be a renovated family property, and the room facilities are rather dated. The amenities certainly don't live up to five-star standards. At this price point, I'd suggest looking for better alternatives.

Let's start with the positives: The overall facilities are top-notch for most hotels in Paris, with an elegant French style and excellent soundproofing. The common areas, though not expansive, are charming and tastefully designed. Cleanliness, however, would only rate a 4 out of 5. Some details were overlooked, such as hair left on the sofa, and the welcome champagne glasses from the first day were left uncollected for four days. The bedding was high-quality, bath products were Guerlain (though I personally found them too fragrant), slippers were soft, and the mini-bar was complimentary. Now for the downsides: The Junior Suite we booked differed from the images on the booking platform. There was no three-seater sofa, only an ottoman at the foot of the bed, nor was there a window in the bathroom. The 'suite' aspect merely consisted of a soundproof door separating the bathroom from the main room. Our particular room faced the street, and Parisian mornings are quite noisy with garbage collection. Upon check-in, we had specifically requested a quiet, courtyard-facing room. After some discussion, they offered to move us on our last day, but as packing would be a hassle and we had plans for that day, we decided not to bother with the move. Those initial champagne flutes remained on the desk for three days without being collected – seriously, is that a question of basic hotel service or just a complete lack of attention? The placement of the bathroom magnifying mirror was incredibly tricky; it would topple over onto the tap with just a slight touch, and there was nowhere else to put it. When it fell, it shattered into two pieces. We left a specific note asking for it to be cleared away and also informed the front desk directly. The result? The mirror was removed, but two shards of broken glass were left behind, which was absolutely appalling. Imagine if we had a child with us... is this incompetence again? The hotel hosts a significant number of Chinese and Asian guests, and an elderly Asian gentleman was part of the restaurant service staff. While numerous 4-star hotels in the vicinity average between €200-€300, this establishment, a 5-star property, offers relatively good value, operating more like a high-end boutique hotel. Naturally, illustrious neighbors like The Ritz and Rosewood are far more imposing and luxurious, but their prices are commensurately higher.

Your Alfred at the reception stole 100 euros from my deposit envelope. I demand that my 100 euros be returned to me.

Excellent location

The hotel is old, but it's been renovated, so the facilities are excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, as shown in the photo, making it a great place for sightseeing, dining, and relaxation, including the 1st arrondissement and the Eiffel Tower. The staff at the restaurant were particularly diligent and friendly, and the service was excellent, even when I had special requests.

Very suitable for traveling with children. The surrounding area of the hotel is also very quiet. Overall it is very good.

Great hotel) the interior is excellent) the service and staff are top notch) the room is clean and everything is cleaned on time. Great breakfast)) the pastries are great❤️💋 the only thing I want to do is diversify the breakfast, it is the same every day. Everything else is great👍

The hotel is located in the heart of Paris and is surrounded by attractions. You can walk to the Opera House and Galeries Lafayette, etc. It is very convenient to go anywhere. We arrived early on the day of check-in and the front desk also let us check in in advance. Everything went smoothly. A highly recommended hotel

Note: I booked a room for a boutique suite, but it was different from the one in the photo. It was smaller than the photo, with no fireplace and no big sofa. It was a completely standard room. The hotel front desk arrogantly lied to me that this was a boutique suite because they could not upload all the pictures of the boutique rooms, so it was different from the one on Ctrip... Finally, I would like to thank Ctrip for helping me solve the problem and confirm that it was a mistake on the part of the hotel. Finally, I got the room I wanted. Please be firm when you go out. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening. The front desk told me that there was no room at first. If I wanted, I would upgrade to a signature suite for 240 euros per night. Later, Ctrip showed up and changed its attitude 180 degrees. Seeing that it was so late, the attitude was very firm. Finally, they suddenly told me that there were other rooms. Haha

Nice, cozy hotel with nice service and history. Breakfast is average, which is normal for Paris.

Small hotel located in a classic building. Spacious and well-equipped rooms. The connecting rooms are a good option for families with children. Each room has a double bed and a full bathroom. Very quiet.

The hygiene is average, the daily cleaning is only average, and the hair in the bathroom is not cleaned in time; the attitude of the front desk staff is also average, which is not in line with the price of 5k+ per night; the private tour and meeting with the owner that I was scheduled to meet by email before, I didn't see him until I was about to leave.

Very good hotel, rich breakfast, close to Champs Elysees and Galeries Lafayette

The location is good and the waiter is nice. The facilities are complete but a bit old, but the hygiene is very good. The room is very spacious.
