A Gem in a Lovely Arrondissement. We stayed 29/1-2/2 - three couples. This hotel is in a fantastic location, nestled between the Eiffel Tower and Invalides, and it's a five min walk to La Tour-Maubourg on Line 8 of the Metro. There is a Carrefour and pharmacy just around the corner and an abundance of bars, bistros and delis all close by. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are even umbrellas in reception for guests to borrow. Breakfast was pleasant (usual continental, plus some cooked items - eggs/sausages). The tables are a little cramped, and like any location, it can get a bit crowded at peak times, but everybody managed just fine. We had comfort double rooms, which are average size for Paris; we were ok with two cabin sized bags, but if you have lots of luggage, you may struggle a little. The room got quite warm (101), so we did have the window open at times. When the low cloud cleared, we could also see the Eiffel Tower from the window. There was a bit of noise from the staircase next to the room, but nothing loud enough to disturb us. The only reason I haven't given a 5 rating is some poor communication before our stay. The hotel charged a pre-authorisation fee - one night for each of the three rooms booked. Whilst I understand that hotels often make this type of transaction, no notice was given, so it was a total surprise and not a great first impression. When queried, I was told it was in case we cancelled, but we'd paid a rate to be able to cancel up to noon the day before arrival. When I highlighted this, I didn't receive a response, apology or explanation. The hotel has since responded but frustratingly has just re-emphasised that pre-authorisation is part of their T&Cs and it isn't an actual charge. This is not the point I tried to make. It's that the charge was made without any notice being provided, e.g., 'at some point within the next 2-3 days/14 days before arrival a charge will be made', etc. And regardless of it not being a charge, the amount still sits on the credit card you book with, which the hotel doesn't release until departure, despite us all paying on arrival. The hotel needs to do better on this aspect. Overall, it's a great hotel, great location, lovely staff and a perfect base to explore Paris. I'd definitely recommend it and consider staying here again.. .

Paris. The location was great, beds were too soft, towels a bit scratchy, inexpensive toiletries stocked in the bathroom. Overall a nice place for a weekend to visit the Eiffel Tower. . .

As good as it gets!. Booked the same morning and received a room with a dreamy view of Eiffel Tower. The staff was great and the views breathtaking! Ditch the expensive hotels and go for Jardins! . .

Perfect choice. Charming hotel in great location! The hotel and its surroundings are truly Parisian. Helpful staff, spotlessly clean and quiet room, wonderful view to Eiffel Tower from Premier room. Tasteful breakfast with large selection. Could not have asked for more, perfect choice!. .

Stay in Paris. The location of the hotel is wonderful, it is on a quiet street with walking distance to Metro, Seine, or other places of interest. Rooms are basic and clean.. .

January stay. This hotel was clean, comfortable, and had incredibly friendly staff. The location is unbeatable, with plenty of walkable restaurants, shopping nearby, and the Eiffel Tower just minutes away.. .

Family trip. Great hotel in a fabulous location. Rooms were perfectly fine, the bathroom was a little small but fine. Staff were really friendly, breakfast set us up for the morning. In a really nice area too. Would definitely return. We had interconnecting rooms so perfect for us as a family.. .

Our Christmas Stay Was Magnifique!. We booked the premium room with the view of the Eiffel Tower, and WOW! It was worth it! They have a wine cooler with bottles of wine you can purchase, and it came in handy when we came back from our cheese tasting with cheeses to eat and needed a wine to pair it with. The staff at the front desk were extremely accommodating to our requests as well. They allowed us to sit in the lounge area to eat our cheese and drink our wine. If you are looking for a quality and affordable hotel in an area of Paris close to the subway and plenty of shops and restaurants, and it's not a far walk to the tower, I recommend Hotel Jardins d'Eiffel.. .

Great view, clean, quiet, conveniently located. We had 2 rooms over Christmas week. Room #507 and #508. Both great views, #508 was slightly better and #507 is right next to the elevator. Clean, quiet, staff was very nice, rooms are small but we expected that. There are no screens on the windows so be warned if you have small kids. They held our luggage until our rooms were ready. Had breakfast 1 day at the hotel and it was good. The croissants were better from a bakery around the corner, and bacon was under cooked but yogurt, fruit, scrambled eggs, pastries, juice, hot drinks, all you care to eat. The cafe around the corner wasn't much better and it was the same price. Bakeries, small grocery store and cafes nearby. Taxi and Metro are only a 5 minute walk. We were close enough to the Louvre and Eiffel tower. They provide robes and slippers and hairdryer. Some basic toiletries too. #508 had a deep bathtub, could be hard to get out of if you have trouble climbing. #507 was a shower. Taxi from airport to hotel $65 (make sure to go to the taxi exit, we were told by a guy in a suit to go to another location but it wasn't the taxi exit). If the hotel calls a taxi for you to the airport it was $72. We did it for convenience. We were very pleased with our stay and would recommend it.. .

Pleasant Stay. I booked Hotel Jardins d’Eiffel for a couple of nights away for a surprise trip for my children to Paris. A very well kept hotel, clean and friendly. We had an interconnecting rooms which worked really well. A couple of thing’s that were wrong with one room - TV wasn’t working when we arrived but this was quickly dealt with and the shower wouldn’t stay up (didn’t mention this to the hotel). In the other room, the tv controller wasn’t working and the bath was very slow to drain. These are minor thing’s that didn’t stop us enjoying the hotel. The hotel was very well located to the major attractions, the metro just down the road to venture further. Breakfast had a great selection of pastries, cereals, yoghurts and fruit. A small section of scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon were also available. Overall, we were really pleased with this hotel and provided a great base for us to explore Paris but also rest well too.. .
