If you've ever scrolled through booking sites looking for a room in Paris, you know the struggle. You see "City View," you book it, and then you arrive to find you have to lean out the bathroom window at a 45-degree angle just to see the very tip of the Eiffel Tower's antenna.

Final Booking Tips
Don't Trust "Partial": If a room says "Partial View," assume you will need binoculars. Stick to the room names listed above.
The "High Floor" Request: For the budget options (like Ibis or Le Parisis), always add a note to your booking: "High floor requested for Eiffel Tower view."
Check the Weather: If you're splurging on a terrace, check the forecast. Paris fog is real, and it can swallow the Iron Lady whole!
