Sublim Eiffel

5 words: see-through glass shower doors. Shower was mysteriously located on the opposite end of the wall that the bathroom is on. After my travelmate and I finishing busting our guts laughing about this (you can't even hang a towel on the shower walls since they are ceiling-high), we found the rest of the stay to be just fine. The hotel is literally 30 steps to the right of the Sevres-Lecourbe metro station. Room is cozy (no different than almost all rooms in Europe) and truly looks just as in the pictures on the booking site (blue lights and all!). Other than the bathroom tile being freezing cold in the morning, and the odd set-up of the shower (you have to set your foot towel on the bedroom carpet outside the shower since there is no room to open the inner shower door without scrunching up your foot towel) I really can't complain about this room. It contains an electric towel warmer! Wireless internet is included, and although slow at times, was generally reliable. Room also has a large flat-screen TV into which you can plug your ipod/iphone - if you so happen to have movies on it, so much the better. I would definitely go back here.

This is a very cute little Paris hotel right across from a metro. You can either walk to the Eiffel tower in 20 min, or take the metro and be there in like 3 min. Lots of nice resturants, bakeries and specialty cheese shops within walking distance. Great staff!!! The only down side was that while it does have complimentry wifi, while we were there it would not connect in the rooms and even in the main area it was very very slow. Someone was supposed to come and fix it and I know they were talking to the internet company, but nothing happened while we were there even though a tech was scheduled to come by. This was a problem for me since I was supposed to work remotely one of the days there, but the staff did everything they could to help and where on the phone with the internet company constantly.

Well for my wife and I this was an ideal location. It was right across from a train station and walking distance from the Eiffel tower which was the main attraction for us. The room had a view of the tower and was very clean. The staff was very helpful. The only bad thing about this hotel for us was that the rain fall shower should have been repaired. But for the price and location great value.

The staff were great. Very helpful. The metro is right across from the hotel which makes it handy but noisy. Lots of open air cafes and restaurants and safe. The hotel itself seems to be designed for midgets. Fortunately my daughter and I are only 5'2 and light. The shower door was difficult to get in and out of. It was so tight. Do not recommmend this hotel to anyone over 150 lbs or tall. The Eiffel Tower is only 15mins walk. I would not stay there again.

First, this is a Paris hotel so the rooms are tiny as is expected. That said, having a balcony was amazing. The area is a bit noisy but the windows and curtains make this one of the quietest rooms I've ever stayed in anywhere. The location is incredibly convenient to the metro and the Montparnasse region of Paris, where we were only a block or two away from great restaurants and shopping. There is a supermarket and other shops around the corner so we stocked up on snacks to keep in the mini-fridge. The walk to the Eiffel was less than 20 minutes. It appears that local kids hang in the park across the street at night on weekends. Not the "mug you" types, but the "I'm considering grabbing a bottle of wine and joining them on the lawn" types. The staff was always helpful and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the breakfast. Overall, it was a great choice for anyone who hates chain hotels, dingy run-down walkups, and can't afford the overpriced tourist spots. The only complaint I could find is that the shower space is so poorly ventilated that it has some signs of mold, but a little tilex could erase that concern.

The hotel lobby, elevator, & room is similar to a night club feel. It's more geared to trendy chic type travelers. The rooms are small, but that has been said for all hotels that I read reviews on before getting this one. If you want to see Paris and not spend the time in your hotel this is fine. If you want a Trump style hotel, you'll need to spend close to a $1,000 per night elsewhere. Try to get a room on the 5th floor or higher for a great view of the Eiffel tower. You can walk there in about 10-15 minutes or take the metro and you're about 2 or 3 stops from it. *Tip on metro, learn the ends of the line that way you know which way to travel when getting on. Once you have that down, traveling via metro is easy. Buy a 5 day pass if you're there for at least 3 days, to save yourself from having to stand in line to get more metro tickets.

I loved this hotel. It was reasonably priced, well appointed and had a great breakfast included. The location is actually pretty convenient with the Metro right across the street. The breakfast included a basket of croissants and bread, hard boiled eggs, ham, three types of cheeses, yogurt, cereal, fruit, juices, coffee, tea, anyway, it was generous and nice. I was tempted to make sandwiches out of the french bread, ham and cheese and take them for a picnic lunch but my husband gave me a dirty look when I suggested it. The rooms are well designed and modern, small but not super small for Paris standards. It also had a nice size flat screen TV. The only thing I would add is a computer for guests. Not everyone brings their lap top.

What a wonderful hotel! We wanted something extra special for our anniversary, and this was perfect. The room was kept very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the shower. We also enjoyed our balcony. While small, it was great to sit out on in the evenings and look at the Eiffel Tower all lit up. Once our best evenings was when we ordered a pizza and ate it on out on the balcony. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

hotel was great!!! very unique and right next to the train. Made getting around paris so much easier by jumping from train to train, all the attractions are right by a station.

Fun and convenient. Right across the street from a Metro station. Nice breakfast. Best of all, the employees! Everyone we encountered of the Hotel Sublim staff was friendly and accomodating. I liked this hotel!
