Apartment hotel in the 12th Arrondissemont

This elegant and tasteful apartment hotel makes a fantastic base for exploring Paris. Just steps away from the Reuilly-Diderot Metro station, and a 10-minute walk from the Gare de Lyon railway station, it boasts fantastic transport links in all directions.

With a kitchenette in each room, the hotel is equipped for self-catering, but you’ll also find a delicious continental breakfast available each morning in the communal breakfast room. The hotel has a gorgeous garden with a patio too – perfect for a glass of wine in the sun.

The rooms have everything you’ll need for a self-catered city break, including free wi-fi and a TV. The kitchenette contains a cooker, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, so you can pick up some fresh ingredients from one of Paris’ famous food markets and rustle up a fine French dinner of your own.

"Staff unfriendly, mumbled so couldn't understand them. Apartment very small. Bathroom not very clean. Was close to the Metro"

Very Disappointed, gone downhill!

"Management has gone downhill since our last visit before the pandemic. Front desk is not friendly and they only do the bare minimum. They have not updated the ambassador (2 room) apartment or kept up with maintenance inside the unit very well. Looks exactly the same and has all the same bathroom tub, sink, wall dryer, toilet, appliances, furniture, etc. inside the rooms for almost 15 years now. Beds are lumpy, pillows are uncomfortable, housekeeping barely cleans, especially the floors which will turn the bottoms of your shoes or feet black from all the dirt. I guess housekeeping no longer knows how to mop and thoroughly clean. Sleeper couch is full of stains and the cushions barely stay on. Also, note there is no AC, so since it’s now very hot in the summer months in Paris unfortunately, it will feel like an oven inside the apartment. They only provide small table top fans which barely help. The only positive is it’s close to the metro to see all the attractions and there are some good restaurants within walking distance. This place needs a major renovation and update of the rooms before I would ever stay here again, especially for what they are charging now for this place. Very disappointed!"

Challenging laundry

"2 bedroom apartment is big. However, only 1 WC and 1 bath. So if you have many parties like mine (5 pax), then will have to wait to use the bathroom or toilet. Location is good with easy access to metro 1 and 8 which will serve many attractions. The launderette is a big challenge for me. No proper instructions for the specific machine being used on site. Expect to scan a QR code and see a manual which is totally useless as the model is different for the manual and the actual machines being used. The staff are not interested to help with that problem as they will only repeatedly tell you to scan the QR code for instruction. Management could just create a simple instruction. Wash is 5 euros and dry is 4 euros. Payment via an app which you need to sign up for an account."
