Any Super Concierges at Budget Hotels?


Recommended Posts

While I gather that guests at hotels like the Plaza Athenee, Georges V and the Ritz expect and usually receive top-flite concierge service, if one were to look at the group of Paris hotels that are a bit more modestly priced, say, in the sub-$200 per night category, are there any concierges working at hotels like that who are, in your view, especially resourceful and talented and worth seeking out?

Thanks for your participation.

While not always true that the more you pay, the better the Concierge, this is the general rule.

Many smaller hotels don't have a Concierge. However, they may have helpful staff, just, perhaps, not as knowledgable as a Concierge in a top palace.

You can always educate yourself with a good guide, though. Read the local "Where" magazine, Figaroscope, Pariscope, etc, then when you see something that strikes your interest, all you have to do is find out where it is...
