Pavillon de la Reine & Spa, Place des Vosges in Paris

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Sunday Brunch Experience

We came for the Sunday brunch with my family, expecting a pleasant experience given the hotel’s reputation, but unfortunately it turned out to be quite disappointing. The place felt overrated and, most concerning, there was a strong, unpleasant smell coming from the water glasses, cutlery, and even the table itself — as if things hadn’t been properly cleaned. It made it very difficult to enjoy the meal.

The only positive aspect of our visit was the kindness and professionalism of the waitress and the welcoming member. She immediately noticed our discomfort and did her best to make things right by offering to change our table and showing genuine care. Her attitude deserves recognition.

Sadly, despite her efforts, the overall hygiene and quality of the brunch did not live up to expectations. We hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves the cleanliness and standards, as the staff truly deserve to work in a better environment.
