If it's service that spells the difference between a superb stay and a 5-star dump, then we award 10 out of 10 to the Hotel Keppler, one of Paris's little-known but best design hotels.

We visited to find out about wheelchair accessibility for a disabled man who's visiting soon, a topic that usually makes French hoteliers either squirm in embarrassment or frown slightly in un-PC disapproval. US and UK laws and attitudes on accessibility of buildings aren't quite the same on the continent.

But the staff at the Hotel Keppler were falling over themselves to be helpful, pleasant and flexible about certain special arrangements that would be necessary.

They showed us around, let us measure bits and pieces, explained everything we wanted to know with a friendliness that was pretty amazing - it's an experience we haven't had in any other Parisian hotel so far.

So thumbs up ten times over to the staff. And thumbs up to the hotel also, a 39-room boutique/design hotel just parallel to the Champs-Élysées in the Paris's Golden Triangle (aka Expensive Hotel District).

It's beautifully designed with a black, white and colour-splash décor, classic yet modern and thoroughly beautiful. The small breakfast room upstairs is cutely cosy and there's a fitness area and massage parlour.

The standard rooms are small, though, so if you like a bit of space to breathe, splash out on an executive room or a suite.

But the Hotel Keppler has more of an intimate feel than any hotel we've been in for a while. They call themselves a hôtel de famille, and for once, despite our hatred for pretentious self-proclaimed and invented hotel titles, we'd definitely agree.

    Agreed 100%.

    I have experience working with the staff of this hotel. Their sales staff is exceptionally accommodating, especially for a small hotel in Paris.

    You are right... The rooms are a bit on the small side, perhaps... but that is to be expected of most hotels in Paris anyway. They are decorated smartly, and it feels very fresh.

    The smaller suite on the top floor has a really fantastic terrace that I love. p.
