Hôtel des Arts

There are some important security issues that potential guests need to understand about this hotel. #1. We left our bags at the hotel before checking in. Our bags were merely left in the lobby completely unsecured. #2. Guests of the hotel are not allowed to take the room key out of the hotel. You must leave it at the front desk each time you leave. This was inconvenient and unusual. When entering the hotel, you simply say a room number and the room key is given. No identification was required. You walk in, say "room 301" and you get a key. This was completely insecure, and I was so nervous the entire stay that someone could easily enter my room. I encountered four people working the front desk. One was kind, two were fine and one (working at night) was the most rude and nasty person I have ever encountered at a hotel. The price was low, but it was simply not worth it. I want future potential guests to understand what they will encounter.

Hotel was convenient for the metro and was in a quiet location off the main road. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and the shower powerful. The breakfast was a basic continental buffet and it could have been improved by providing tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Enjoyed two nights in Paris after a long flight from Australia. Desk staff were very helpful and spoke good English. A good location and nice and quiet.

The LOCATION of the hotel was GREAT as it was super close to the Metro and lots of resturants!! The hotel was charming and our triple room was very spacious. The staff was super friendly. Only 2 drawbacks was that the room/hall smelled musty and we were either underquoted or overcharged by the arranged taxi ride to the airport by quite a few euros. Would definately stay there again.

A little oasis of peace and quiet whilst in the centre of Paris and easy to reach the important sites. Hotel was really nice and clean. Breakfast area was super cosy but worked. Staff were generally helpful. There was an extra €20 added to our bill with no explanation. As we settled this on checking out and I was in a hurry for our flight I didn't query this. Coupled with language barriers.
