Splendid Hôtel Tour Eiffel - Paris, France

This is a 3 star hotel located within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower. The hotel has a breakfast buffet on site, and public parking located within 100 meters.  There was also a café located across the street. 
When we planned our second trip to Paris, my only requirement was that this time I wanted a view of the Eiffel Tower from my hotel room. My second requirement was NOT breaking the bank to get the view I wanted. Many hotels boast a view of the Tower and many require a pretty penny to make it happen. Thus began my search for the perfect combination of view, location, service and reasonable pricing. My search ended when I found Splendid Hôtel Tour Eiffel. When I found the hotel online, I remembered a friend of mine had stayed at a hotel with a view so I contacted her. Turns out it was the same hotel and she highly recommended it.  Each of the 48 rooms in the hotel offer views of the tower but as you can see in the picture, the rooms on the side of the hotel are at an angle so this may mean you have to go completely out on your balcony or do a little leaning to see if from your window. Several of the rooms however boast straight on views of the tower. These are the ones you see facing you in the picture to the left. 
When I booked our room I reserved a Superior Room.  This room was right in the middle on pricing, not the most expensive, not the least expensive. The picture of the Superior Room online showed a great view of the tower. Of course I wanted to make sure this was the room I was getting so I sent an email asking about it.  I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the hotel staff responded. I sent the email before I went to bed and had a response from Emmanuel, the Co-Director of the hotel, the next morning. They were so polite and assured me I had booked the room properly. Our room was the one with the balcony on the 3rd floor. We had a breathtaking view of the Tower - morning, noon and twinkling at night.  Here's a view from our room.

Breathtaking! Much better than my college visit to Paris...not all hostels are created equal. I really need to plan a vacation in Europe soon!
