Le Bois de la Folie

Great little hotel located close to Bastille, I stayed with my two kids and we had a lovely two storey room

We stayed for a long weekend as we attended two concerts at L’Olympia — easy walking distance from the hotel. We booked the deluxe room with a balcony and it did not disappoint. We went out to get breakfast in the morning and bring it back to eat there. The room was an adequate size (especially for Paris). Big wardrobe with a fridge inside (we were happy to have this). The bed was comfortable. We had a coffee machine and cups. And we appreciated the two bottles of water that were replenished daily. The bathroom was light and clean. Definitely newly renovated. I appreciated the attention to detail by the cleaning staff. I had taken a few tissues, and after housekeeping had been there, I noticed that they had folded the ends of the first tissue into a triangle. What attention to detail! We needed eating utensils for the food we brought back and the staff were kind to lend us utensils from their restaurant. We were happy to have an elevator as our room was on the 5th floor. We took the stairs once, and then laughed and said we’d take the elevator next time. The elevator has room for about 2 people and a little luggage. Lovely hotel. Very helpful, warm, and kind staff. Great location — by Galeries Lafayette (don’t miss their gourmet food court), easy walk to Montmantre/Sacré-Cœur, not too far to walk to the Seine and all the sightseeing along there. We only took the metro when we went to/from the airport. All in all a wonderful visit and we hope to be back soon!

I loved staying at this hotel. The breakfast every morning was fresh and delicious with a nice variety of choices I loved the French strawberry jam with the croissant. The room was spacious, clean, nice, and quiet. All of the staff were very friendly and kind. Everything you need is nearby. Bakeries, art galleries, supermarket, and the Metro are a short distance. I would recommend this hotel.
