Hôtel Alfred Sommier

A Hidden Gem in the...

Liked: The Alfred Hotel is truly a jewel nestled in the heart of Paris. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a timeless dream—elegant, welcoming, and rich with character. Its location is unbeatable: just steps away from Galeries Lafayette, surrounded by charming restaurants, and within easy walking distance of the Louvre and other iconic landmarks.The rooms are stunning—each one beautifully designed with a sense of 19th-century nobility, yet infused with modern charm and comfort. It truly felt like we were living a page out of history, but without sacrificing any of today’s conveniences.One of the highlights of our stay was meeting the owner himself. He personally welcomed us and shared the touching history of the hotel, which has been in his family for generations. That personal connection made the experience even more special.My mom and I took this trip together, and I couldn’t have asked for a more magical setting. Breakfast was included and absolutely delicious, served in an indoor terrace that looked like it belonged on a postcard—peaceful, picturesque, and the perfect way to start the day.Every detail at The Alfred Hotel is thoughtful and charming. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. I can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait to return.

Would go back without question....

Liked: Excellent location. All of the property was beautiful. Room was excellent. The staff was exceptional, particularly the staff that greeted us at checking on the weekend. Was a great start to the stay.
Disliked: Street noise most of the night.

It could be top!

Liked: Perfect location, beautiful building, breakfast also good.
Disliked: Staff is not not-friendly but are lacking the hospitality touch. This is not due to them but more to training of the management. Is really required to be a good hotel. Many examples; during check in; paspoort details please well this is 8th time that I am here… o I see. In the morning say hold mornjng to your quests instead gf replying and so on.

Superb location, loads of charm,...

Liked: The hotel is super well placed in Paris, it provides a lot of privacy and is very charming. Breakfast is very nice both because of the interiors but also because the selection is pretty nice with excellent scrambled eggs, local yoghurts (it might not catch your eye, but it is definitely sth to try). The rooms are as you would expect them, with high ceilings and good, comfortable beds. The digital artwork in the rooms is a bit of an acquired taste, but they are alright. Not everything was ideal in the room, though. There was a problem with cold water pressure in our room (it was very low, so it was impossible to get good pressure without the water being insanely hot), and the coffee machine didn't work. Neither of these were addressed by the hotel staff in the 5 days we spent in the hotel (and we did point them out). The staff was very professional otherwise and the hotel is well maintained, clean and neat (except from a pillow case which was once randomly left next to a lamp in our room). We especially appreciated the daily minibar replenishment and the room tour we got at the arrival. We do think we would stay here again, I can't express how nice the location of this hotel is, however I would hope some of the quirks were sorted by then.

Historic charm in the heart...

Liked: It's one of few family owned 5-star hotels in the heart of Paris. The house was full of stories! I had the honor to meet the owner Richard when I checked in, and he extended a warm welcome by personally taking me on for a little tour and sharing some family stories. I would suggest the hotel to offer some program for a day trip to Vaux-le-Vicomte as it is owned by the same family! Lovely stay, smiling staff, and a true feeling of the history of Paris yet so close to everything.
