Nouvel Hôtel

This two-star hotel provides good value for money, with very friendly and helpful bilingual staff, a lovely courtyard (where you could enjoy a good buffet breakfast) and in a location handy to Place de la Nation, Picpus, La Sorbonne Nouvelle, and more. The neighbourhood is lively with lots of restaurants and an outstanding bakery nearby.

Our room was on the small side, but the bed was comfortable and it was cleaned everyday. The hotel is not very accessible (an old building with no elevator that I could see), so anyone with mobility limitations might find it challenging. WiFi didn't work for me the first two days, but eventually I asked the staff and they sorted it out promptly.

An old hotel, recently tastefully renovated and modernised (see photos). Very pleasant room, not too small for Paris standards. Recently refitted bathroom. Everything works well. Windows can be left open, as the hotel is just off Place de la Nation and relatively quiet. As noted by other guests, there is no elevator, only a winding staircase: not a problem for us, maybe for some. Staff all very pleasant, welcoming and helpful. The area is lively, with many shops, bars, restaurants all round. It is served by 3 metro lines, the suburban train RER, and many bus lines all within 2-3 minutes' walk. The tram line is only a little further away. A big market is held on the adjoining Cours de Vincennes on Sundays . 10 minutes away on foot, the Bois de Vincennes, a large wooded park, offers walking, cycling, riding facilities.

The fitted carpet is obviously vacuumed often and thoroughly. Nevertheless it is the least hygienic floor covering . The soft synthetic foam pillows : it would be nice to have the option of feather pillows. Wifi is weak and unstable.

This hotel felt more like a very welcoming guest house. The rooms were welcoming and felt more like a real bedroom than a generic hotel room. Each featured a private bathroom. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The size was exactly what one would expect in a European hotel. The hotel is conveniently located nearby a very well-connected Metro station with quick and easy access to central Paris and the RER for points beyond. Breakfast in the garden was peaceful and delicious. Friendly multi-lingual staff really made us feel welcome.

Stairs could be an issue for those with mobility issues.

Our stay at the Hotel was amazing, the outside of the hotel is easy to spot and the hotel and their garden looks just like the pictures. Our room had a lovely double bed with a small desk, a small open wardrobe to hang coats or clothes, and a lovely little bathroom- perfect for two people. Our windows opened onto the street but that did not cause any issues as it was off the main road and the balconette was very cute too. Sheets were always cleaned and towels changed daily and provided us with a luggage room for our last day. The staff were extremely helpful- no complaints at all. Check-in and out was easy! Will definetly consider the hotel again if we ever return to Paris in the future- thank you!

The hotel is conveniently located near a metro line and just a short taxi ride to Gare du Lyon. The area is also nice. We had a room for 3 that featured a double bed and a small additional bed nearby, but overall there was enough space to move around. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and it’s a good value for money in Paris!

The breakfast selection is a bit small (but it’s not a large hotel, so expected). At some point, some items in the buffet ran out, so we had to specifically ask for them. The staff was nice and brought it out, even though we had to wait for a while

The check-in was easy. Christo was very friendly and accomodating. He carried our bags up two flights of steps for us. The hotel is very old but charming. It has a beautiful garden with tables and chairs for eating breakfast and a lounge area for sitting. The breakfast is self serve and has a large assortment of items to enjoy. The area is very walkable with a great Pub on the corner and a supermarket just around the corner. The pharmacy was a block away and lots of shopping and dining choices.

Because it is a very old building, there is no elevator and the stairs are steep and winding. It was a bit of a challenge for us senior citizens but not terrible.

A great little hotel and one of my favourites in Paris. It’s located next to the Nation subway station and thus very centrally considering its price point. It oozes traditional charm, and I love its warm and inviting atmosphere, you do feel very welcomed by the friendly and accommodating employees. It also has a lovely garden which is the perfect spot for taking breakfast on a sunny day.

The room was small but very cozy and well decorated, with a little balcony and comfortable beds. The location of the hotel was great, with many restaurants and cafes all around. Fernanda, the service coordinator, was very friendly and helpful and the security guard was very nice as well.

Our room was on the 1st floor, right above the restaurant and was quite noisy at night. But with ear plugs we managed to get a good night's sleep.

Christopher at the reception went out of his way to help me with anything I needed!! Directions to the Metro, etc. There was coffee and Orange juice on site which made it very nice in the morning. The hotel was extremely well taken care of, and the location was out of the busiest parts of Paris. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and felt completely at home!!

The staff is friendly and polite. The hotel is well-decorated in general. The room is small but perfect for a couple; everything is clean and organized, and you have a 24-hour supermarket and a cute Irish pub just next door that made my life easy.

The hotel is in a distant area, so you spend about 30 minutes at almost every vital tourist point in the city.
