Hôtel de Roubaix

Very interesting interior, if you're into comic art, this is a must visit. I just love spending time here, it's a hidden gem for "BD"-lovers. Staff is extremely welcoming and pleasant, breakfast is just right to start the day. 12 minutes from Gare de l'Est (good money exchange right in front of it), Metro just around the corner, restaurants too, but if you stroll south down the Bd de Sébastopol, you reach the shopping zone, the Seine and all those superb views within half an hour. I'm sure to come back. Bear in mind this is an old hotel, modernised and fantastically redesigned, but still the elevator has the size of making two users into lovers by the time they get out again and some bathrooms remind you of the times you didn't think abbout losing weight...

Location - very convenient and near to many of the tourist attractions. There is a supermarket and self service laundrette about 200 metres away. Room is generally very clean and sufficient for use and I have 2 large suitcase Breakfast was buffet style and the coffee machine was good. Shower water pressure is strong and had the rain shower head which my wife likes. The decoration of the hotel was done by the owner himself and it is social media worthy.

The location was perfect . It was easy to reach all the activities I had booked through the gocity pass .We used the reamur sebastopol metro stop some days( for connection to Versailles and C.D.G. and Montmartre and St Germain does pres ) but because we were only a 10/15 minute straight from Notre Dame , west to the The Grevin Museum and easy to the Canal StMarten we walked . I asked ahead and the hotel very kindly allocated a 1st floor room which was ideal as steps are not my friend these days! There is a lift so it would not have been a problem but the room was perfect in every way , clean comfortable bed , great shower , good storage , t.v. access to a secure flat rear area via patio door if fresh air wanted .The room was air conditioned and a delight to return to after the heat and noise some days . The decor was brilliant , we had Picasso prints on the wall and a huge round mirror and purple walls . The lighting was great- bedside lamps dimmer main and plenty of plug sockets plus digital safe so no worries on storing passport or cards . Madame Pervanche is just across the street and recommended . I booked a table first night and enjoyed the mixed plat and the pint and croque Monsieur was a good deal and the I P.A is good if you don't mind paying a bit extra . Minus 3 euros on card price of some drinks till 9 there . Most bars around there have happy hour till 9 and cocktails can then be as low as 7 or 6 euros .

Everything about the hotel was great. The metro station was very close, within walking distance. We were able to easily access every place on our travel plan. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Although we arrived before check-in time, we were able to leave our luggage in the lobby and start our trip. Breakfast was quite sufficient. Our room was a bit small but sufficient and cute. The price was also more affordable than nearby hotels. It is a hotel that I would definitely recommend to tourists coming to Paris.

I'm giving them a 10 because they asked me to, and they were super friendly people. It's an interesting, creative space. They gave me a courtyard room so there was no outside noise. I could hear everything in my neighbouring rooms, like iPhone alarms going off in the morning, but fortunately people were pretty quiet most of the time I was there. I really very much liked the omelettes which is odd given they are laid out in advance like pancakes, but they really worked for me. There was some excellent bread too. I'm a (flexible) vegan so I didn't try the meat products, and I was glad there was soymilk. The location really worked for me, you could get to a lot of different metros, and it is particularly convenient to the north & east railway stations, which is important since that's when you have luggage. Good wifi.
