Hotel Louvre Forum-bookings only 1 mth is advance? Seems...

Hi there,

My husband and I are going to Paris in Sept for the very first time and have decided on the Hotel Louvre Forum (after spending 2 days researching tripadvisor!)

I tired to book but they said they only take bookings 1 month before arival and they will see what they can do. I think this is strange, but could be just me...

Has anyone tried to book 1 month out with hotel full? I%26#39;m scard that will happen then I will have trouble trying to book somewhere else - nightmare!

Also, if you could pls recommend another place similar that would be great! I%26#39;m looking for cheap and cheerful (has to be clean) close to all the tourist sights.. we are only there for 3 days so want to be centralised.

Thanks!! From sunny Sydney

That%26#39;s funny! I tried booking at Hotel Louvre Forum 4 months in advance and was also told that I couldn%26#39;t book that far in advance. I didn%26#39;t like that at all because I wanted to have my hotel secured well in advance. So I did more research and booked at Le Relais du Louvre, which is literally right across the street from the louvre. It got great reviews on this site and I had no troubles at all booking 4 months in advance. They are a little more expensive that Hotel Louvre Forum but atleast I have the peace of mind that a room is waiting for me.

Have fun!

Hi!

That%26#39;s really strange that they said you that....

In the same area, I can strongly advice you on Timhotel Louvre, a 2 star hotel. It is nice and very clean, no matter about that! Rooms size is good and staff is also nice!

They regularly do discount on rooms rates, so maybe they will have some for September...

you can see it on http://www.h-louvre.com

Have a nice trip!

You can always book a standby hotel and then try your luck at your first choice a month in advance, canceling the first reservation if it all works out.
