Hotel Standard Design

The bed was so comfortable that we slept like babies, and our room felt bright thanks to its three big windows. It was roomy and clean, with a large double shower and thick curtains when we wanted to block the light. I adore this little boutique-style hotel, especially its spot near all the bistros, bars, and places to eat. Breakfast cost €12, and I think it should have been included in the room price. Still, we had a perfect stay and would absolutely come back.

We only needed somewhere to shower, leave our bags, and sleep on our last night in Paris, and this simple hotel did the job. The bed was comfortable, and the man at reception was especially kind and helpful, which made a real difference. The neighborhood is a bit away from the tourist area, though it’s busy and there are plenty of things nearby. I’d recommend it if you’re planning to spend most of the day out sightseeing and just need a place to sleep.

The staff were really nice, and for the price, the location made this a good option in Paris. You’re only a few minutes from Bastille and metro stations, with lots of restaurants, bars, and cafés close by. Our room was small, as many Paris hotel rooms are, but it was comfortable. Noise was the main downside: we could hear people in the hallway and in their rooms through the walls, and it could get pretty noisy at night. The renovation work was loud too, especially when it started at 8 AM.

We found the neighborhood good, though the nearby party bars brought noise on Friday and Saturday nights, and you could hear it. Bastille square is close, and the Louvre is about a 30 - 40 min walk away. This is a solid 3 star hotel for resting after busy days out, without extras. Our room was clean and a reasonable size, and it was cleaned every day even though we hadn’t asked for service. The bed was ok, but the shower was small. There was shower gel, soap, and body lotion, but no shampoo or conditioner. We kept forgetting to buy shampoo, so I used the shower gel and it worked fine. The elevator was tiny, just big enough for one person with a bag. Breakfast was humble and more like a snack, with no hot food, but that was ok for us. The lobby was very small, for waiting to check in or out or maybe for a taxi, and there was no bar or other service. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the cold. At night the temperature dropped to 51F, and I had to warm up in a hot shower before bed. Maybe that’s normal in small Paris hotels.
