Testimonials
Nous sommes tombés sous le charme du Sourire de Passy dès notre première visite et nous ne regrettons absolument pas d’y avoir fêté notre mariage ! Tout était parfait : le lieu, la superbe terrasse, la disponibilité et la discrétion des maitres d’hôtel. Le cocktail dinatoire préparé par le chef a fait l’unanimité. Un endroit plein d’élégance et simple à la fois dans lequel nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous.
Ilhame et Patrice nous ont accueillis de manière très chaleureuse et ont été très réactifs tout au long des préparatifs mais également pendant la soirée. De plus, les chambres sont spacieuses, très confortables et décorées avec goût. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour avoir contribué à cette merveilleuse journée !
Excelente ubicacion, caminando esta lo mas lindo de paris es una zona segura, hay un supermercado y tiendas de viveres cerca . Celebré mi cumpleaños y aunque pedí tulipanes no habian por la temporada. Quedo bonito todo. Gustave fue lo mejor de ahi hablaba español y es un excelente anfitrion por él nos sentimos muy acogidos en ese lugar el nos guió a sitios turisticos con todo detalle. Un lugar muy limpio. Todo es super limpio mi hijo que es alergico no estornudó nunca. Nos dejan quedar las maletas fuera del check-in, eso es super.
Tout d’abord MERCI !
Vous avez su créer le mariage intime que nous nous imaginions.
De ma préparation en temps que future mariée à la danse finale enflammée au petit matin avec nos invités!
L’hôtel est superbe et a fait son effet auprès de nos invités, ainsi que la qualité du service et des mets que nous avons pu déguster (mention spéciale au chef pour sa flexibilité au vu des différents régimes alimentaires!)
Vous êtes des hôtes de grande qualité et nous ne pouvons que recommander vos services!
Merci mille fois pour ces souvenirs précieux !
