HÔTEL OBSERVATOIRE LUXEMBOURG ^{* * *}

The hotel has a great location; it’s across the street from Luxembourg Garden, and it’s on the RER B line from the airport. Also, there are grocery stores near by. Staff are very friendly. Only issue is each room should have a mini fridge. This is a must have for a lot of travelers.

This might be a more detailed review, as the hotel could be a perfect fit for some but not necessarily for everyone. Let’s start with the location – it’s really good! You have a variety of restaurants, the beautiful Luxembourg Park, and plenty of subway and bus stations all around. For those like me who prefer their coffee from Starbucks, there’s one nearby, and there’s even a restaurant inside the hotel, which is quite convenient.

The staff at Hotel Observatoire are genuinely helpful and welcoming. While the hotel doesn’t offer the extensive amenities you might find in an American hotel, the team here goes out of their way to ensure all your needs are met. They are very responsive – any time I had a question or needed to make changes, my emails were answered within 1 to 2 hours by an actual person, not a bot.

Now, a quick note about the elevator – it is tiny, but it’s definitely helpful when it’s working.

On the topic of the rooms, they are very small. I stayed with my mom, and it was fine since we have a close relationship, but I can’t picture staying there with a friend I’m not super close with, especially since the beds are quite close together. If you’re traveling alone, it could be great, but if you’re sharing the space, it’s something to consider.

During our stay, the elevator broke down, and we were on the 5th floor. For some reason – I’m not sure if it’s specific to the hotel or just how things are in France – the elevator couldn’t be fixed over the weekend. This was quite inconvenient, particularly for my mom, who is 70, and going up and down several flights of stairs wasn’t easy for her. The receptionists were kind enough to help with our bags when we left, but it did feel like more could have been done – perhaps repairing the elevator over the weekend or arranging staff to help with luggage.

Would I stay here again? Yes, I enjoyed the location and the staff’s hospitality. However, my mom wouldn’t, given the challenges we faced. So, it’s really up to you to decide if Hotel Observatoire is the right fit for your stay.

Ballade agréable

O quarto é pequeno, mas confortável e muito limpo. Os funcionários são prestativos e cordiais.

We had a good experience. This hotel will definitely cover your basic needs, plus location is pretty good. There are also a lot of food options. The service was also quite good, no complains.
