Hôtel De Varenne

A perfect hotel as a home base to explore Paris”
The hotel is on a more quite street just off of Boulevard des Invalides. Lovely and quaint, with a quite courtyard and breakfast room.
The hotel is perfect for using as a restful home base to explore all of Paris. Metro station Varenne is just a few minutes away making traveling by metro really convenient to get too anywhere you want.
There are enough good cafes, restaurants, bakeries and markets within walking distance to make a quick bite easy and away from crowds.
The Rodin museum is a few minutes walking distance and really the most enjoyable of them all, with exhibits displayed in a magnificent and tranquil garden.
The hotel’s staff was friendly and very helpful making any arrangements we needed.
The rooms are the typical Paris smaller rooms with out air conditioning, very nicely decorated and very clean.
We loved our stay there and will absolutely stay there again, with out question.

I loved just about everything here. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and quiet. I really liked the classy/​classic décor, especially the wallpaper and drapes. They provided electrical outlets for American prongs, so you can charge your iPhone/​iPad/​iPod devices easily. They gladly called taxis for us as needed. They had loaner full-​size umbrellas! Lunch and afternoon snacks in the courtyard were a delightful respite from the rigors of sightseeing. We were up on the fourth floor, so we really appreciated the elevator, which accommodated two adults. It’s an easy walk from the Musee d’Orsay and l’Orangerie, and close to the bus line that goes to the Marmottan museum. So this is a dream location for the lover of Impressionism. Also, the hotel is just a block and a half from the Esplanade des Invalides, which is a stop for the hop-​on/​hop-​off L’OpenTour bus system, for general sightseeing and good local transportation. The little grocery store across the street (Le Diagonal) provided our bottled water (much less expensive than at the restaurants!), our Greek yogurt, and the occasional pre-​packaged salad. My sister loved the Pims cookies, and I loved getting Les Petits Ecoliers in an actual French grocery store! The Tabac down the street sells the carnets (booklets of ten bus/​Metro tickets). We loved the salads and crepes at Aux Ducs de Bourgogne (30 rue Bourgogne). My Bank of the West debit card allowed me to use the ATM at the BNP Paribas bank/​ATM on the corner with just a 1% transaction fee on top of the interbank exchange rate; it doesn’t get any better! I loved walking the two blocks to the Café Varenne (corner of Varenne and Rue du Bac) to get an omelette and a hot chocolate. After your meal at the Café Varenne, enjoy the block south on Rue du Bac — Angelina’s pastries are a dream come true for chestnut lovers especially! I shopped at both the linen shops there, as well.

Enjoy your Paris trip!

The hotel that reflects Paris, built sometime in the 18^th century, but upgraded to modern amenities. This quaint charming place really makes feel your in the Paris. There is a attention to detail to with fresh rose in the bathroom to the well manicured patio garden. Sitting having breakfast on the patio, it does not get better than this. The staff is polite and attentive. Our room is small but finely decorated, the bathroom almost as large as the bedroom. I will be back.

Hotel bien tenu, chambres propres et spacieuses, petit déjeuner copieux (salle un peu petite, risqué d’attente le matin…)
Situé à proximité des invalides, point de départ pour découvrir Paris, mais aussi adresse sympathique pour ceux ayant des rdv professionnels dans le coin…

The Hotel was brilliant! We had excellent service all thanks to the people [receptionist, porters, maids etc] .
Everyone was very helpful and polite, who also all spoke english which was very useful to us as our french is not the best.
Our room was very nice and immaculate, [cleaned and tidied after we came back from our days out also].
The Hotel in my opinion is worthy of more than 3 stars.
The location of Hotel de Varenne was spot on too, we did not bother using the metro/​buses etc as all the sights were within walking distance.
We will definitley be staying here again when we next vist Paris.

Petit hôtel décoré dans le style Louis XVI et Empire; situé à proximité des Invalides et du musée Rodin. J’ai passé un excellent séjour, l’accueil étant très correct.
L’entrée avec le jardin est très accueillante, la réception est petite mais il y a quand même un coin salon, toilette et petit ascenseur d’un côté, de l’autre côté on trouve une salle pour le petit déjeuner. Il y a aussi un coin internet
La chambre (twin) au première étage, donnant sur la cour, était assez spacieuse (plus grand que la moyenne des chambres à Paris), et une très grande salle de bain. L’ameublement est très classiquedes meubles style ‘empire’, mais c’est vrai que cela fait partie du patrimoine
La literie est très comfortable, le linge très propre, le tout est très bien entretenu
Le petit déjeuner continental correct et bien servi avec un grand sourire
Les personnes que j’ai vu à la réception (le propriètaire inclus) etaient toutes polies, sans plus!!! Une ambiance paisible et très cordiale, dans un des quartiers les plus sûrs de Paris.

Cet hôtel est proche des invalides et du musée Rodin. J’ai adoré le jardin d’intérieur et les chamnres super sympas qui viennent d’être refaites ! Une chance j’y suis allée au bon moment !
Le style est plutôt classique et c’est justement ce que je reproche: ça fait pas très jeune ! Mais en revanche ça reste élégant et confortable !
Et puis c’est un excellent rapport qualité prix !
