Best Western Premier Le Swann

We booked this hotel at the last minute after being let down by another hotel. Lovely small boutique hotel, out of the tourist madness, but close to the Metro and we also walked a few times to tourist locations as well. The rooms are very very small and so if they want to keep that boutique feel they will need to keep up with maintenance, and the toilet area you need to decided which way to side step in. (Really that small) The room had a Nespresso machine, but it was very nosey for an early cup, and the Mugs do not fit in the machine. The shower was not as powerful as I would expect of a hotel, but maybe this may be due to potential flooding as the bathroom was small. We did need to move rooms due to an issue, but the hotel staff were very helpful. less

Stayed here for 4 nights before moving on to another hotel in Paris. I didn't have high expectations before I arrived (being a Best Western and all). I was simply delighted when we arrived at the hotel after getting off the chunnel from London. The pictures on their website do not do justice to the place. Greys and black were the predominate colours and they worked well. There is a small lobby to the left as you enter the hotel. To the right is the bar, and then the breakfast room. BREAKFAST The breakfast was quite good. For 9 Euros, you get various types of juices, pastries (including croissants) and different types of breads. There was also a variety of jams/jellies. There was fresh fruit and hot beverages (hot chocolate/tea/coffee/expresso) There was a very lovely selection of cheeses and the hot stuff included: scrambled eggs, ham, sausages. THE FRONT DESK The people were very professional, but they couldn't speak very much English. I found my French was as good as their English, so there you are. Upon check in, we wee informed that we had the largest room in the hotel. Now this made me feel pretty good seeing that I know most Paris hotel rooms are very small. THE BAR There is a lovely lady that works the bar, and her English is excellent. Great service, but rather pricy.. Good selection of spirits/wine/beer and a cozy place to drink in. THE ELEVATORS SMALL...I mean REALLY small. Will fit 2 people only, or 1 person with 1 piece of luggage. Elevator was lined in what looked like grey rubber (kinda funky). THE HALLWAYS SMALL, so much so that you can't walk 2 abreast. FITNESS FACILITY There isn't one OUR SUITE Strangest room I've ever stayed in (I"m attaching the pictures, you judge for yourselves) Opened the door and there was our bed and patio doors to our private terrace. Then there was a very long hall way that contained a desk, mini bar and closet. There was also a single bed in the room. At the end if this hallway was the bathroom. The hallway was so narrow that only 1 of us could walk down it at a time. So if you wanted to go to the WC, the other person had to stay where the bed was. Our terrace was very nice but the doorway to it was 2 feet off the ground. Both my husband and I fell when attempting to re-enter our room. Kind of a death trap of sorts. Could see the Eiffel Tower from the terrace and enjoyed the evening sparkles from it! Bed was a king and very comfortable. We got a good nights sleep and the hotel is very quiet. THE AREA Not much around. There is a fruit & veg place across the street and about 3 restaurants across the street. This is a very quiet area and no shopping around. You must walk several blocks to find any foot traffic or banks. There is a great little grocery store selling wine/beer/food/milk etc.) just a block up on same street as the hotel. The only thing that made me feel kind of uneasy was the fact that the front door to the hotel had to be activated by the people at the front desk. This concerned me because I wondered what kind of people they were trying to keep out? CONCLUSION It was as very unusual place and having said that I would stay here again, but probably won't because it was just too far away from the things/places we wanted to see. less

My wife, grand daughter and I stayed at Best Western Premier Le Swann for five nights during a heat wave in July. Each day the temperature was over 34 C, around 95 F. When we came back to our room, the air conditioning was working perfectly, in the lobby, the lounge and especially in our room. It was delightful and allowed us to cool down our over heated bodies. We had a suite but it was non to large however it served our needs very well. A full hot buffet breakfast was available for an additional 15 euro each. it proved to be full value for the price. We tried a restaurant and paid 14 euro for much less quantity and quality and we also tried the continental buffet at the next door Ibis hotel, but Le Swann's buffet was the best. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I found it a bit odd that the bar was not open on the weekend, but there were certainly many options in the neighborhood where one could get a drink. We used Uber a lot to get around Paris but we took notice of the close by train station and metro stop. The hotel is in the eighth district which makes it close to many attractions. I highly recommend this hotel. less

We got put in here after being moved out our original booking due to our rooms being flooded. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room is small but unique is he way I would put it. You don't need much real estate if your sleeping over. Wouldn't want to use it if you were there for a period of time to relax and there was two of you. It's a great find thought and will be back next time we need a hotel in the area. less

Modern rooms that look like they have been recently upgraded. A surprise from the external facade. However quite tight on space. Should be comfortable for 2 anytime... Note the elevator is quite small and pretty slow so you have to be patient. less
