I loved my stay at Babel, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming spot in Belleville. It downhill and just around the corner from an artisan Boulangerie that had ancient grains breads and world class pain a chocolat and pastries. If you wandered further up hill on the back streets there were so many little charming shops and coffee shops. I had some of my most whimsical and grounded days in Paris wandering these streets in Belleville. Babel is also steps away from a market on the weekends, rows and rows of fresh produce, protein, and seafood and the metro. What made Babel special was not only the location but the staff. I really enjoyed getting to interact with them, Mohamed, Siba, David, Stefano, Noah, Yumbi, Malka, were wonderful and all helped me in various ways-- whether it was making sure I hard warm cream for my coffee, or Siba helping me get checked in early, calling and Uber for me when I needed help, and holding my room for me while I dealt with a personal emergency-- they were personable and warm, and I very much appreciated them. Noah and Yumbi made delicious drinks and helped me when I lost my purse in the city. I was very, very blessed to stay here, and would give them a 10/10.

I loved everything about this hotel. I'm someone who likes to experience a neighborhood's character and get to know it like a friend. This is the perfect spot to get to know Belleville, with local artists and their ateliers just around the corner, a lively street life, and a variety of restaurants and people. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the restaurant served perhaps the best meal I had in the city, and the patio seating was a fun place to end my evenings. I also liked the little touches such as the locally made Bluetooth speaker in each room and the hotel's curated playlist, "Spirit of Babel." Lastly, the Metro is right nearby, making ventures into the rest of Paris very easy. I hope to stay here again, during my next trip!

Cosy hotel with helpful staff and nice breakfast.

We loved our stay at Babel Belleville. Out of the tourist path but still easy to access the rest of the city (2 minutes to the nearest metro!) it is an ideal location for those who want a more authentic neighborhood experience. Our room was clean and beautifully decorated and we appreciated the gorgeous Babel toiletries. Our only complaint is that one morning a fire alarm went off - we rushed out of our room with a group of other panicked guests to the reception who didn’t even look up. We asked what was going on and whether we should be exiting and they said “I think it’s a test”. It was disappointing to not have been told this would be happening (if it was true) and to be treated with such nonchalance when we were still in our PJs and bare feet. Otherwise would definitely recommend.

Nicely styled boutique hotel. Excellent bakery around the corner. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance (Mostly asian). Only surprise was that there was no tv in the room. But didnt miss it because there was enough to do.

This may have been our favorite hotel room in a long while, and certainly the best in our two week trip across France. The room was beautifully decorated and every little thing was thought of. Not much storage to be had in the room, but it was so great otherwise that we didn’t have even mind that. It’s a great location (2 minute walk to the metro and within walking distance of hundreds of restaurants and a great view of the Eiffel Tower). Staff was great. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but it smelled delicious.

such a great space!

Unique Hotel. Great Breakfast and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Rooms clean and well maintained. It was a joy to stay here. When I am back in Paris, I will definitely stay here again

Super cute and cozy (not a small room!) in Belleville. Love the area as well and it was sooo close to the Métro.

The opening of Ernst and Souad made it very special…delicious dress vegetarian food…creative! The woman who received us at the desk was extraordinarily welcoming and lovely.

Good

Beautiful stay in Belleville, will be back!

Lovely well serviced hotel, very pleasant staff who were on hand at all times.

Babel Belleville is a lovely hotel with an unique style. It is very clean and a minute wallk from Babel tube station so it was easy to get to every place to explore. The staff at the reception was super helpful and friendly, it was a pleasure to talk to them. I don't think Belleville is a great area but we did not feel unsafe. I would have loved having a small TV perhaps. Definitely would go back as the hotel is a great vallue for money.

It was great!

Babel was so clean and great ambience. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The area itself was nice to walk around especially to get to the Parc de Belleville and nearby shopping. Loved the experience and would book again.

Very friendly. Lively area. Great proximity to good bars and restaurants. Also good walking to parks or the canal or centre of town.

Good location in Belleville, nice hotel.
