Stay period 11 OCT - 18 OCT. One block from Louvre. Across the bridge from d'Orsy Museum. Tuilleries Gardens across the street (Rue de Rivoli). Restaurants all around. Hotel still undergoing renovation. First room offered was large but in need of much renovation. Second room offered was in executive suite area...only 3 rooms in area. Bathroom was updated. Rest of room was clean but not updated. Executive Suite Lounge served coffee & tea and sweets/dried fruit starting at 12:00 noon til mid-night. Nice pool and spa area. Bar was nice & clean. Overall service and location are pluses. Once fully renovated, this will be a true 4-star...but not now. Le Carrousel Bistro between hotel and Louvre is excellent for food and drink. Very English speaking friendly. Found all Parisians encountered to be very friendly. U.S. dollar fairs poorly against the Euro. New McD's across street from Louvre. There is a Starbucks IN the Louvre

What a great hotel, staff and location! Saint James and Albany is centrally located with many fine restaurants in the area. Our room was clean and comfortable. We couldn't have been treated better by the front desk staff. We would definitely stay at the Saint James and Albany again.

Our first night we cozied into our beds from a long day of traveling. I just happened to explore the fabric headboard... that's when I discovered the additional occupants - BED BUGS! These little critters had been around for a while. They were quite large and there was a fair amount of fecal matter within the fabric. I panicked and headed for the lobby. They had a very casual response "We'll send someone up to fix the problem." We had to argue to get a new room! After that experience I didn't sleep well. In addition, we didn't find the staff very accommodating and the rooms were filthy. I do admit, the location was nice. So, it's up to you... You may spend more money fumigating your house to get rid of the friends that came home in your luggage than you did on the hotel. It wasn't a pleasant experience.

If you want a large corporate type hotel in the center of tourist central this is for you. Services are expensive. Room was large. Hotel was very noisy with business conventions and construction. Business events late at night. Use a taxi to and from CDG, expensive but hotel is way to far from Roissy bus (especially if rainy).

Good Hotel in Paris

I stayed at this hotel while I was on business in Paris. It is a great location along a street busy with cafes and shops. They said they had air conditioning, but it was not activated in late April when I was here. So I had to open the window to cool the room down. That was fine and worked well, but since it was on a busy street it made it hard to sleep. (And I was on the top floor). The rooms are nice, nothing too fancy. I expected a little nicer than it was and the bed was comfortable. The staff is friendly, but every time we walk into the lobby, the hotel desk is always busy and slightly chaotic -- like the staff didnt know who to help next. That was a little frustrating. The bar/resturant is nice and had good food. Would stay here again
