The Hotel Victoria Chatelet is in a great location for sightseeing in Paris!!! It is near to numerous attractions, the Seine is only two blocks away, a metro station is right there, and many restaurants and shops are nearby. We cannot say enough about the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. They were very welcoming!! The rooms were clean and cleaned daily. The hotel is not fancy or new and the hallways are very narrow. These are just facts not negative points. We were the type of tourists who were up early, gone all day, and returned back late in the evening to fall asleep immediately to begin again the next day. This is the perfect hotel for that type of trip.
