We recently stayed at this hotel just for one night as we were transiting through Paris. We had booked it after having read about it in a book called "Cool Hotels of Europe". We stayed in the Zen suite which is located at the very top of the building and is the room featured in the opening page of this... More

Hotel Lumen is a small boutique hotel in a fabulous location, just minutes away from the Louvre! If your on a budget this place is great. It's small and has a funky ambiance. Our room was small and I believe some renovations were going down while we were there. Our head board was removed from the room. Bathroom is tiny... More

Just got back from Paris today. Had amazing time made even more special by this lovely Hotel. It's a true Boutique style hotel with all the luxury you would expect. It's opulent reception prepares you for the boudoir styling of the rooms, although a little small ( that's a standard feature of the boutique style) there is a great use... More

Background: 1) The Star Rating system in France is an interesting attempt to make hotel delineations as objective as possible. The ratings are based on a checklist of criteria.

We had stayed at Hotel Lumen for the last 6 days of our honeymoon back in Sept 2011. The hotel was located in the 1st Arrondissement which was very close to the Louvre. The closest Metro station would be the Pyramides but you can easily walk to the next station within minutes! LOVE the location! The hotel is a boutique... More

It was in the perfect location, close to the Tuilerries Gardens and the Louvre, walking distance to most of the places I like to visit while in Paris, including those on the Left Bank. The receptionists were friendly enough and the general staff... More

We enjoyed the location of this boutique hotel and whilst we were expecting a small room, this one was really small, quite dark and had already started to be stripped out for refurbishment (head board removed etc) I read the hotel talks about its up coming refurbishment work, but the rates charged do not reflect this - you are paying...

Wifi and tv did not work in my small room and reception insisted it was because of my US Ipad and the fact that I did not turn the TV on the right away... I don't care how cute and boutiquy these Parisian hotels are, for 200 euros and a minuscule room, I would like the essantials to function and... More
