Has anyone stayed at Hotel Muguet recently and can advise whether all the rooms have showers? Or do some only have baths?
Also read in the reviews that there is a policy of handing in key when you go out. Can anyone elaborate?
T.I.A.

I%26#39;m pretty certain they have both...the bathtubs have showers in them, and I think a few rooms just have showers. You could always send them a message and ask, they speak English if you don%26#39;t speak French.
Most hotels in Paris ask for your key while you are out, it%26#39;s pretty common practice. And often they are absolutely enormous so you wouldn%26#39;t want to carry them around with you anyway. When you get back to the hotel, you give your room number and they give you the key. There%26#39;s nothing sketchy about it....

We were there in May and again in June. Have not stayed in all their rooms, but over the years we have always had a shower or combination tub and shower. And yes, they would like for you to leave your key at the desk when you leave the hotel. It is an excellent place to stay.
Best,
Tom

We%26#39;ve stayed in rooms with tub and shower and rooms with shower only. The shower only is just fine, except if you need to shave your legs, which is virtually impossible to do in the shower (no place to perch your foot, or get away from the water if you try just leaning over. Although, Madame upgrades everything constantly, so things may have changed since our last stay.
As for leaving the keys, they do insist that you leave your key when you go out and pick it up on your return. Many people object to this, but we appreciate it. For one thing, you don%26#39;t have to worry about misplacing it or compromising the magnetic strip. When your key is at the front desk, they know you are out and your room can be cleaned without disturbing you, and they know to take messages if you receive phone calls (and they are excellent about taking and delivering messages).
Note that Hotel Muguet is completely smoke-free should you appreciate that.
They are also sticklers about not bringing food into the hotel to enjoy either in the garden or your room. Apparently Rick Steves encouraged so many people to %26quot;picnic%26quot; in their rooms or elsewhere in the hotel, many of whom were less than considerate with regard to cleaning up after themselves, that numerous hotels in the neighborhood now have %26quot;no food%26quot; from outside policies (so as not to have problems with critters).

Hi. I stayed in the Hotel Muguet last November over Thanksgiving week. I had a great experience. We stayed in a room that only had a shower. It was functional. The bathrooms are not huge, but they were very nicely done and the water pressure was great (very important to me). At first I was not sure about leaving my key at the front desk, but when we got there it was really ok. No issues and I didn%26#39;t have to keep up with it. It is a lovely hotel and the staff were very nice and extremely helpful with any questions. You will enjoy your stay. This hotel is also very close to the Rue Cler. We walked there every morning for breakfast before we started out for the day. Enjoy!

I will never understand why people worry about leaving their keys at the front desk.. come on folks,, they already HAVE a key to your room, whether or not you give them one,, its not like there is only one right??
All hotels ,, any hotel at all, can get into your room , when ever they want.They of course only go in it to clean.. or do repairs.
We own rental property,, and yes, we have keys to all of them.. we do not ever enter without proper notice,, but we do have a legal right to enter if there may be property damage occuring(ie burst water pipe etc) on an emergency basis without notice.
If where you are staying seems too unsafe to %26quot; leave the key%26quot; then you shouldn%26#39;t stay there.

I%26#39;ll just respond to the no food in the room rule. We stayed there at the end of April and at that time they were happy to have us to use the garden room with food and wine brought from outside, which we did.
There was a large group that used it every evening for cheese, bread and wine.
I%26#39;d be interested to know if that has changed since then.
The Muguet is a lovely hotel. You%26#39;ll enjoy it.

My mention of %26quot;handing in keys%26quot; was not a criticism but a query. I have not come across this before and was curious as to how it works. Does it mean you are unable to stay out late?

Oz, what you see on Mugeut%26#39;s web is pretty much what you get, and you%26#39;ll enjoy it. We had a %26#39;superior%26#39; room which was really one of their triples but for only two of us. The loo had a beautiful setup with combination tub/shower (and very tastefully done). In May they folks were using the breakfast room for midday/evening meals of takeaway with wine, etc. We did a tour of England, Holland, France and Italy and the only hotel of 7 that we didn%26#39;t have to turn in our key was in London. The %26#39;key%26#39; at the Muguet is actually a plastic card which is also used when you enter your room to turn on the lights; I thought a good idea.

You can return to Hotel Muguet as late as you like. There%26#39;s a button right by the entrance to signal whoever is on duty at the front desk. They may be napping on the couch (as is permitted), but don%26#39;t feel badly about getting them up...
During our three stays, the overnight person spoke very little English, but was able to open the beverage machine when it took our money but did not dispense any water.

In both May and June this year we brought back food and wine to eat in the garden room. No problem. The Muguet is a great place to stay.
