Apollinaire

I booked a room at Apollinaire because I thought the location was good and also, I really liked the way this hotel looked in the pictures they posted on booking.com - but I didn't check the reviews. Before arriving, I read some reviews and to my surpise, they weren't really good and they made me a little bit nervous about my stay there. The truth is , the hotel doesn't look exactly like in the pictures. The decor of the rooms is the same, but what you don't see in the pictures is that the walls and the furniture are a little bit old and degraded and there is some dust here and there. But in my opinion, this were minor downsides. The location is absolutely great if you plan to visit Paris, it is very close to 2 metrostations ( Vavin and Edgar Quinet) and you have all connections that you need to get around the city. The breakfast is simple yet qualitative and delicious. The staff is really nice and helpful. The room was actually really cosy and warm , the bed was super comfortable and the pillows were soft , bathroom was ok too. Towels were changed whenever it was needed, the bed was made everyday. Overall , the hotel was nice and I would definitely come back . If you book early ,it's a good value for the price.

Pictures on booking should't be edited, they should show the reality of the furniture and of the walls- it was clean but a little degraded / old. Dust should be cleaned up better. Another minor inconvenience might be the fact that in the rooms located next to the elevator you will hear a lot of noise when people are using it.

We stayed here in June 2023. The staff was very helpful! We got there ahead of check-in time, and they let us check-in a little early. They also stored our luggage on the last day. The room was clean and well appointed. The bed had a great mattress and we slept great. Plenty of comfortable pillows. It was a very hot week in Paris, and the air conditioning kept the room comfortable. Loved the location! Very close to a pharmacy, the subway, several patisseries, that were amazing, and a grocery store with fresh-squeezed orange juice. We would definitely stay here again!

There were no USB charging ports.

Located in a one way street between 2 metro stations, safe area even into late night, TONS of resturants anbd shops around, not in a tourists area so you will get to hang out with some locals, a little out of the way to major attractions but it's not far, there are couple small supermarkets and bakeries on the same street. Hotel itself is very small for USA standard but it's normal for Paris, it has what you need for your stay. Breakfast buffet (not included) was surprisingly good. Overall a good stay.

Our room door is next the the elevator, and we can hear the elevator door opens and closes, but it didn't bother us at night because no one really going up and down after midnight. No view from our window (construction). It's a one way street and sometimes it take an Uber drive a bit to find the hotel.

love the location; fun and alive but not raucous at night.

main staff was helpful and generous, but had a bill mix up at the end, probably due to an inadequately trained staff person who checked us out. After that, kept getting messages that we had left a suitcase (no) and had blocked the room (no). Ultimately got worked out by our travel companions who stayed longer, but that part was stressful and avoidable. All that being said, we would go back!

Me and my boyfriend have spent 4 nights in hotel Apollinaire. We are very satisfied with the room. Everything was very clean, we were on the 5th floor with cute balcony and view on Montparnasse tower and parisian roofs :). Clean towels everyday, staff was very kind, location was perfect! 10 minutes walk to Luxembourg gardens, little more to Latin quarter and Notre Dame. Couple metro stations just around the corners. The street is full of cute restaurants, french bakeries, grocery stores, everything you need. Thanks for beautiful stay :)!

The hotel is convenient to 3 different metros and the Gate Montparnasse. It has a laundromat right next door which helps if you are on the road a while. The beds are comfortable with daily housekeeping services and there are small refrigerators The front desk staff is very helpful. We don’t have breakfast as there are 2 bakeries on the same street.

The rooms are small, but all the reasonable priced rooms in Paris are. Be aware that they cannot turn on the air until The middle of June, so the rooms can be too warm.

Really enjoyed the location it was conveniently close to Montparnasse station and Palais Luxemburg, the staff was friendly and helpful to me and the other guest. They offered to store my baggage when we arrived before check-in time, and they spoke English and Spanish. Also really was happy that one of the staff members prepared a hot tea for us on a cold night. A night where we couldn't find anywhere else to get tea or something hot given the time. The Hotel is surrounded by hundreds of businesses in walking distance (less than 1km), restaurants, bars, cafés, crêperie, boulangerie, dry cleaners, theaters, street market with produce, Carrefour, and more. In addition you have metro stations, bus stops, rental bikes, rental scooters, taxis, and one of the main train stations in France for longer journeys. Oh yes and really enjoyed the windows looking towards the street.

This is not a huge problem, but because it's an older building in an already very dense city... you will run into situations where you feel like things are too quaint. Like the elevator, the stairs, and the space between rooms. So when lugging around luggage or large items you will have a hard time. There doesn't seem to be much space for cars, so don't think there are going to be many opportunities to park near there. There is street parking but not much most of it reserved for commercial uses.

Ultra charming hotel from the moment we entered the lobby to the lovely chamber. We had a street view with 2 lovely windows each with their own private balcony. The breeze was perfect and the street noise made us feel we were still a part of "everything" even while we rested. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. We didn't ask for much, but when we did, they helped us immediately and with a smile. Breakfast there was such a treat. Delicious, quality assortment of meats, cheeses, coffee, breads, etc. I looked forward to it everyday.

I was happy we had a minibar in the room, though it was so small even a bottle of Chablis was difficult to put in the fridge. We made it work, though.

Great location in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Paris. The hotel itself is on a quiet street, but there are two metro stops in short walking distance and tons of great cafés and restaurants just around the corner in both directions, along with bakeries and a grocery store just a few shops down so everything you could possibly need is at your doorstep. The hotel staff were kind and accommodating and made us feel welcome at every turn, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

Location was excellent! Right near the train station, next to lots of restaurants/bars/cafes. Staff were very friendly and room was above expectations. It had a cute balcony area, and the bed was spacious. Cleanliness was of a good standard and housekeeping were friendly and on hand. Walk-in shower was excellent, great pressure, temperature and spacious size.

The single elevator with a 3 person capacity was a minor inconvenience, as with a group we had to take multiple trips up to the higher floors. The toilet in the bedroom felt quite small, particularly for bigger people.
