Editor’s Note:

Hotel de la Tour Eiffel is no longer a EuroCheapo Editor’s pick. In our most recent research and rate testing, we found average rates were regularly over $215 a night, which is well outside of our Cheapo budgets.

Original Review:

Planted at the quiet end of the rue de l'Exposition, the Hôtel de la Tour Eiffel is a two-star charmer with 24 rooms near the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars and the bustling market-lined Rue Cler.

The sweet Hotel de la Tour Eiffel is a solid pick, with renovated guest rooms, friendly owners, and a location about five minutes from the famous tower. Rates can sometimes dip to make this a good deal for the neighborhood.

The décor in the guestrooms is quite smart, with attractive textile wall coverings in purple and gray, framed antique prints, old-fashioned cabinetry, and windows opening to either the street (with flower boxes) or the back garden (our favorite, as it’s bright but quiet). All rooms are equipped with a telephone, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi.

Bathrooms are small but very clean and bright, with both showers and bathtubs.

Downstairs, the lobby is likewise attractive, with fresh-cut flowers, black leather club chairs, and shelves of thick red books. Note that the hotel does have an elevator.

Aside from the famous nearby tour, er “tower,” two blocks away is the famous Rue Cler, a market street that buzzes with small merchants selling their cheeses, wines, meats, baguettes, and more. There are innumerable options for eating and drinking. Overall, the area is very safe, quiet and calm at night—which means that you’ll probably head elsewhere in the evening to find activities.

Location: Central

3.3km to city center

Main attractions: Many of the surrounding streets offer up storybook views of the Eiffel Tower, still the tallest building in Paris. Another striking monument is the 18-carat-gold dome of the Invalides, that glimmers along the Seine's left bank, just east of the Eiffel Tower. Commissioned by Louis XIV as a hospital for wounded soldiers, the massive, structure was transformed after the revolution by Napoleon into a monument to himself. It currently houses an impressive military museum and Napoleon's famous tomb.

Notable museums include the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Rodin and the Musée du Quai Branly. And the 7th has a well-established American presence, home to the American University, the American Library and the American Church.

Neighborhood atmosphere: The 7th also is home to many imposing palaces turned government buildings and embassies, lending it a stately feeling with an old-world, slightly bourgeois Parisian vibe.

Affordability: Like neighboring St. Germain des Prés, the 7th is an upscale residential neighborhood with expensive shopping and dining including Le Bon Marché department store and food hall on the rue de Sèvres. The rue Saint Dominique is one of the city’s most concentrated dining hubs with reasonably priced classic bistros (Obama famously dined at La Fontaine de Mars at #29) and more upscale establishments like Brasserie Thoumieux. The nearby market street rue Cler has food shopping and unremarkable but reasonably priced cafés.

Stay Here If: You’re traveling with older relatives who will enjoy being in a calm central neighborhood with close proximity to the Eiffel Tower.

Stay Elsewhere If: You are looking for wild nightlife or a trendy atmosphere.
