Could not have asked for a better location near the Louvre! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Would absolutely stay here again.
Great friendly staff. Perfect location. The breakfast is good, but would prefer coffee/juice/water machines so that you could get drinks at your convenience.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the lovely and quaint L'Empire Hotel. Close location to the Louvre, the Seine River, Notre Dame, shops and restaurants made it so convenient. Staff was very friendly and so helpful when we needed assistance. Room 311 has a slanted ceiling which wasn't ideal for my 6'2" husband so they switched us to Room 312 which was a much better fit. Sonia the manager couldn't have been kinder nor more accommodating.
Had a really great stay at L’Empire Paris. The hotel was amazing and the staff were brilliant from start to finish. A special mention to Niko, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and always made us feel welcome.
Really couldn’t fault the place. We had a great time and would 100% stay here again if we come back to Paris. Definitely recommend it!
I was impressed by the location! Close to everything. Staff were very kind. The room We stayed was the highlight of our staying. Even though the space was limited the breakfast had everything a 5 stars hotel had it! I recommend and hopefully will return someday
Clean room. Had issues because of booking on Expedia had trouble adding breakfast but eventually hotel took care of it. Great staff!

It’s an old, charming hotel in a great location. Just a few blocks from the Louvre and the Seine riverbank. Our room was small with no drawers or shelves to put clothes away. There was a wardrobe for hanging clothes. They may have larger rooms at a higher cost. The room amenities were very nice, and bed was super comfortable. Nice bathroom too. The staff were exceptional. Very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast (included with our room) was delicious and very French!

First the staff was exceptional. Rooms were large. Room did smell like smoke which was a let down.
The location is perfect to get anywhere. Lots of good dining options nearby. The thing that stood out the most was the staff. They always went above and beyond. They were friendly, helpful, funny...the best I have ever experienced.
**A Warm, Authentic Heart in the Center of Paris**
L’Empire Paris proved to be the ideal start for our trip, offering a location that balanced iconic city highlights with a genuinely authentic neighborhood feel.
Some of our favorite memories were simply enjoying drinks right on the street outside, where we ended up chatting with locals who have lived on those exact blocks for over thirty years. Between their incredible stories and the exceptionally warm, attentive hotel staff, we received the most welcoming introduction to the true heart of Paris.
The warmth, hospitality, and overall experience completely blew past every expectation we had. We couldn't have asked for a more special stay.
Wonderful hotel right near the louvre. Cleanest, high end rooms. Spacious and more importantly with amazing AC for the summer.
Staff is outstanding and they show the best of France.
The room was spacious and clean,the staff was great and the hotel is in a great location for sightseeing and many restaurants.

The staff was wonderful, helpful and solicitous, and the hotel is well located. Unfortunately, we had two problems. The hot tub was not hot for the first two days of the visit - they finally fixed it on the third day. The regular hot water did not work our last two evenings - meaning we had cold showers. Since we booked through Expedia, the hotel felt like they could not give us any refund or credit, as "Expedia had the money..." Not how it actually works, but that was their story.
This is the second stay for me at this property. The location could not be better and the quality for the price is amazing!! Finding a room with a king size bed and a tub/shower is amazing. Sonya at the front desk was there for both of my stays, she is darling and so helpful!! I would put 10 stars on this boutique hotel if I could.
