Hotel Hameau de Passy

This hotel was in good location… Except the metro closest was out of service during our stay. The courtyard was very cute but the rooms were less than… It was extra small with no ambiance whatsoever (think 4 walls and a bed). It was very noisy — would could every word our neighbors uttered. The paint was chipping off the walls. The staff was courteous but not overly welcoming. It was inexpensive so that was nice and walking distance to the Eiffel Tower.

Not sure what Unilocal protocol is — this charming, affordable hotel is listed twice on this site, so I am cross-​posting my review. Here it is again (it’s also under «Le Hameau de Passy).

Our favorite hotel in Paris. It’s a 2 star hotel — I am giving it five stars on Unilocal because it has everything I am looking for in a hotel.
It’s clean — very. And when we were here a few months ago (December 2010) it appeared that all the bathrooms were being refurbished. Bonus!
The location is utterly charming — on a tiny courtyard set back from rue de Passy, that you enter between two cute little storefronts. This means that it’s quiet, too. No rooms face the actual street. And it is a five minute walk from Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower!
The staff is unfailingly polite and helpful.
The rates are very affordable, and your credit card is charged *after* your stay (except, I believe, for a 30% deposit on longer stays — you can check their website:
).
Finally, the neighborhood is fab-​u-​LOUS.
The inimitable Rick Steves, of «Travels in Europe» fame, has given his «real village Paris» stamp of approval to Rue Cler. I give mine, for what it is worth, to the Passy neighborhood. Tucked between two convenient Metro stops (la Muette and Passy) the hotel is on a street lined with delightful — local, neighborhood — shops. There’s a school, to which we love watching parents drag their adorable kiddies each weekday morning. There’s a movie theatre. There’s a Monoprix! And in the big shopping plaza right across the street from the hotel, there’s an even bigger, newer Monoprix grocery store, with hot and cold prepared foods in addition to a boulangerie, amazing cheese section, excellent wine and beer selection, and all kinds of amazing sausages, produce, etc.
And of course there are cafes and tabacs, plenty of places to grab a bite or some take-​away, and even a McDo! Finally, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch the local outdoor street market, which seems far homier (and less expensive) than trendier, more touristy Rue Cler.
Back to the hotel for one moment. I should note that the rooms are small by American standards. They are perfectly large enough for their occupants — but Americans used to echoing vastness in a hotel room should adjust their expectations accordingly. This is a European hotel, not a Ramada Inn outside of Tucson, AZ. To see good, clear pix of the rooms that are up-​to-​date as of December 2010, check out the pix on the website.
Happy travels!
