Lumen Paris Louvre

"The hotel is in a great location - really perfect for sightseeing, restaurants, bars - and the surrounding neighbourhood is lovely. Perfect. But the hotel decor is dated, shabby and uncared for. The light switches in my room were smashed off the wall, the bedside lamp didn’t work, the metal finishes in the room and bathroom were all tarnished and old, the bed head had been removed. The room was dark - all decorated in grey and black - and even the mirror in the room had a smoke finish. It felt grubby because of all of this wear and tear but I will concede that it was not dirty. The towels and bedding were very clean and the a/c was cold. The bathroom was fully glazed to the bedroom - so you can see in to the bathroom fully from the bed. I had a weird chandelier in my room which was even more confusing. The common areas are shabby and the furniture is odd. I’m sure it all looked ok at some point but it needs investment now. The breakfast was terrible. The patisseries were awful - glazed croissants which were dry, sugar filled granola, sugar filled juice and yogurts. The coffee was ok - bean to cup machine but with dried milk. I come to Paris once a week and had to stay here due to last minute changes, but I am not likely to stay again until something has been done about the state of the place."

"Friendly staff. Chic, but starts to notice some wear and tear. Close to “everything”. Several Metro stations close by."

"This was probably the third or fourth time I have stayed at Hotel Lumen. It is in the perfect location -- just meters away from the Tuileries and the Louvre. Around the corner heading toward the old Opera is a Monoprix which is very convenient. Many good cafes and restaurants. A great location. The most important asset of the property, though, is the staff. All are personable, helpful, and just a pleasure to know. Rooms are small but bathrooms are spacious and well appointed. Some of the best hotel towels! Very clean."
