Paris France

The staff were fabulous. Kind, helpful and engaging. We highly recommend this unique hotel.

As other travelers have noted...if you come from the Republique train station, you may be questioning your decision as you are walking to the hotel. There is a lot of "culture" at that station, depending on the time of day. Just ignore it and keep going. The hotel is lovely and has the sweetest people at the front desk. They helped order our taxi for our trip back to CDG on our return trip home (make sure to order it the day before you need to leave). If you walk toward the Marais district, you'll find lovely restaurants all along the way, but you won't pay Marais district prices for this hotel. The room is very clean and has all the typical amenities of a European hotel (specifically, no washcloths and a shower with no door that gets water everywhere...that's just how the showers are in Europe). Overall, we were so pleased at this location for the price we needed to be at (we needed a room for 3 people). Close to Arts de Métiers, and Republique train stations where you'll need to use the Metro. The breakfast is worth it only if you need to eat early (which we did on our Versailles day...the rest of the days, I would recommend eating elsewhere). It was a true continental breakfast with toast, croissants, and machine coffee. Fine when you're in a pinch, but there are other great breakfast places if you can wait until 7am when they open (specifically, Le Sancerre and Café de la Mairie on Rue de Archives & Rue de Bretagne).

It is a quaint older hotel. Everything was clan and comfortable. Staff was very nice.
