Hôtel Riesner

If we could give the highest rating for this place 100+ stars. It was the best place we have ever stayed. The ambiance of this place is warm and cosy, with a very welcoming atmosphere it felt like staying with family. The staff were so amazing, they booked 3 different places for dinner for us and each place the food was really good. They also were so helpful in suggesting places to visit and at what times were not so busy. All the staff made us feel so welcome. This place has a real warm feel about it with a retro 30-40's feel and we are definitely come back and stay here. Tarek was so charming and helpful during our stay, we watched him dealing with patron after patron during busy times and he was very professional with each and every person. He never looked stressed and just handled it so well. He would always make us feel like we were the only people there and nothing was too difficult for him. He arranged a lovely night dinner tour for us and it was all organised by the time we got back from our day trip and got changed ready for dinner. He also helped where needed even in the kitchen. Salem Was terrific, he arranged 2 dinners for us and when he couldn't do something he arranged for it to be sorted by another staff member and made sure our reservations were ready. We were always made to feel like family. Even the owner Corinne was so sweet, she too made us feel so welcome. She gave us great recommendations on places to go, and the directions to get to the country town of Rouen was spot on. The food was great, sooo delicious, and Noella was lovely too, she made us freshly squeezed juice every morning and always supplied fresh croissants and bread. There was always a great selection of meats and cheeses all presented fresh and appealing. The eggs and smokey sausages were our favorite. We really didn't want to go home. We enjoyed chatting with everyone that works here.

It was a lovely, cozy, and clean place. The breakfast area was beautifully decorated, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful—I was genuinely surprised by their kindness. Location is quite good, close to restaurants, big supermarket and the river.

The Hotel was located conviently next to Gare de Lyon which allowed us travel easily throughout Paris. The Room was spacious and the bathroom was of a very high standard. Had a very large walk in shower. The twin beds were very comfortable and water was placed in the room every day. There was no noise and the staff in the most cases friendly.

The location is fine if you are happy to use the metro and perhaps are not a 1st time visitor to Paris. We travelled outside the city to Disney and the outlets so it was perfect for us to be next to Gare de Lyon. Metro is so easy to use and it is a nice walk to the centre - however, it is a little far out if you are maybe a 1st timer and want to be closer to some of the main attractions. We were upgraded to a superior room, it was perfect, bed and pillows are amazing and staff were so nice. We didn’t eat breakfast.

The room was small but had all the features I needed for an overnight stay including a nice shower to awaken me. It was conveniently located a short distance from Gare de Lyon, where I arrived, and not far from the Bastille which led to a pleasant walk toward the Maria district of Paris after checking in. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of options and the check out time of 11.30 suited me very well for my onward travels
