One feature we did not expect was so many great restaurants walking distance from the hotel! We didn’t need to eat in the tourist traps near the major attractions. We could simply walk from the hotel to find a wide variety of cuisine. The hotel is a block and a half from the #7 Metro Station. About a ten minute walk from the #9 Metro and a ten minute walk the other direction from Gare de Nord. The city highlights are about a twenty minute train ride from here. The room was quiet and the AC worked well when it was left on for a few hours.

This hotel should improve on its WiFi and internet quality.

Lovely hotel in a great location. There was an issue with noise in the room from ? The air on which meant sleep was disrupted but loud noise every 5 minutes but there were no staff around to tell u til check out.

had a lovely stay.air con was a blessing

Clean room Great location Plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance Laundry place to wash and dry clothes around the corner

On arrival the Air Con in the room was not working, reported to Reception who knew about the problem but suggested opening a window. We asked for a fan for the room which they promised, but 8 hours later still had not supplied. The room was very poorly maintained with some electrical sockets not working at all and the bathroom sink drain plug stuck down in the closed position. Breakfast was a bunfight, with very little food put out to feed the full room of guests. Only one coffee machine working - gave up waiting in the queue at the end. Hotel Reception staff, too busy talking to their fellow workers to pay us any attention, we felt very uncomfortable standing there waiting for them them to finish their chatting. Would not stay again and would not recommend.

Great location, very clean, very happy with our stay.

It was during cold weather, did not use.

Excellent little hotel with a great location in Paris - friendly staff, and room cleaning to a high standard! I only wish the AC could go a little bit colder but that's a minor complaint compared to the rest of my experience. I'd stay here again if I were to visit Paris in the future.

Friendly and helpful staff. Martine look after me for the week. She greeted daily with a smile and kept my room spot less. Small room but perfect for solo traveling. Great location close to the Metro.

I recently stayed at the Rue de Lafayette Hotel in Paris for a quick overnight stop. Overall, it was a convenient and practical choice for a short stay, though it came with a few drawbacks. The location was excellent, easy to reach and close to public transport, which made getting around the city very simple. The welcome at reception was warm and efficient, and the staff made check-in smooth, which I appreciated after a long day of travel. The room itself was quite basic, with minimal furnishings and limited space, but it was clean and tidy, which is always a plus. Unfortunately, it did get rather hot during the night, but there is aircon. Another small issue was the soundproofing, you could hear pretty much everything from the bathroom, which wasn’t ideal for privacy. The lighting also caused some frustration, as the switches didn’t always seem to work properly. Despite these inconveniences, the hotel served its purpose well for a one-night stopover. It’s not a place I’d choose for a longer holiday or if I wanted a lot of comfort or amenities, but for a simple stay close to the city’s main attractions and transport links, it did the job.

Nice bed. Clean room. Quiet, facing to an internal courtyard. Convenient location.

Hotel LaFayette was exactly what we were looking for during our trip to Paris! My partner and I wanted a convenient place to stay located in a “lived in” (not touristy) part of the city while still being near dining, the metro, and things to do. Hotel LaFayette fit the bill exactly! The check-in experience went very smoothly even though we were later than anticipated due to a flight delay. Front desk staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Their team speaks both French and English, so for travelers who aren’t fluent in French, there are no concerns with getting checked in. The room we stayed in was quite small compared to an American hotel room, but we were constantly out in the city doing things so it fit our needs exactly - a place to come back to for a shower and bed. While the beds were a little firmer than my preferred taste, the location and price made our stay worth it! There is breakfast available at the hotel for a fee, but we did not end up trying it. Everything looked great and we saw many other hotel guests enjoying breakfast before heading out for the day. There is a cute Patisserie and Boulangerie just down the street near the closest Metro station as well as several restaurants for lunch and dinner. The location is highly walkable and we enjoyed ourselves very much!

The room was clean but very, very small - not at all what the photos suggested.

Solid 3 star. Walkable to Gare du Nord, subway and high traffic areas. No air conditioning. The in-room portable fan wasn’t the best solution. The staff were great. Friendly and able to talk in English (without judging our poor French skills)

AWFUL STAY!! We stayed for 5 nights during summer where the air conditioning was broken the entire time. We also misplaced our room key on the first night and reception were unable to provide a replacement which meant for the remainder of the trip we had to go downstairs to get them to lock/unlock our room. And just to top things off after a fun day exploring Paris we came back to find that my medication which I had put in the fridge had been moved and put into the freezer, making it now unusable. Reception were completely unhelpful sending me around in circles just to find someone to talk to. I was eventually told I would be compensated for the damage of my medication which is very expensive and have now been unable to get a response from the hotel for weeks!! Really really unacceptable.

We didn't have working AC for the entire duration of our stay.

Great location a block from Rue La Fayette. Plenty of restaurants everywhere. Bed was simple but firm (good). No bedside tables. Main problem was 3 days with no AC. They gave us a fan so we managed, but I bet others just changed to a hotel where AC was working. The weather was unusually hot. Coffee was an automated every thing machine. Not good. The old drip coffee cafe au lait I have had at other French hotels is really preferable. So we did not take advantage of breakfasts except for mini croissants and juice. Staff were very competent and kind.

Tired and was noisy due to road work and linen van being loaded at 1 am. No air con despite reporting it was broken there was no response

The hotel is under construction during my stay
