District Nation

Très tranquille et avec une excellente climatisation pour affronter la canicule de juin 2026.

Terrific place for five nights in Paris. Although not quite central, the Nation metro is just two blocks away.

This hotel was located in a nice area in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. The metro was less than a five-minute walk away. I found the rooms to be very clean and comfortable if a bit small by my own standards. The Wi-Fi worked great, and the AC kept our room very comfortable. I do have two complaints, though. First, after prepaying for the room online, I was required to pay a "city tax" upon checking in. This amounted to thirty-two Euros or something similar. I understand that, no problem. However, when my wife requested her own room key, she was told that she needed to pay the "city tax" right then. She did so and then told me about it when I saw her again a few hours later. I let her know that I had already paid for this. When I spoke to the front desk, they made it seem like refunding the erroneously collected tax was impossible. I stayed at this hotel for three days, and each day I was told it would be handled the next day. I eventually just suggested having a free breakfast at checkout to call it even because they seemed unable to issue a refund. Second, I woke up my first morning dying of thirst. I went down to the lobby and asked to buy some water. They told me they don't sell water. This seemed odd to me. I mean, they do serve breakfast, but they don't have water? I was told to just drink from the sink. I would not even do that at my own house. I had to go out into the street and buy water from a vendor and then return to my room to sleep.
