Hôtel des Ecrivains

Amazing location

It was a great stay at the hotel. The staff were very friendly, nice and helpful. The rooms are nice, tidy and clean. For the double room that I stayed in, it wasn't very big but certainly a good size. It had everything needed like TV, kettle and hair dryer, a fan (it doesn't have air con) and a safe. It didn't have a fridge but I didn't need one. I had their breakfast when staying there. It was a great selection from cheese to ham to fruit salad, yogurts, pastry, cereal, juices, tea, coffee, boil your egg to your preferred softness/hardness. It was great breakfast. The location is very central and very convenient. There were lots of restaurants around and close to the metro station. And you get to see the "Teddy Bear" street. I would be happy to go back to the same place again!

First of all, we highly recommend it, you can choose it without any worries. Thank you very much to all Hôtel des Ecrivains staff. We stayed with my wife and it was a hotel that made our trip beautiful. All of the team are very nice people. We felt that they wanted to make us comfortable and we were very happy. Yes, the rooms are small but they fulfil everything you expect from a hotel. It is a hotel in a very good location, clean, safe, attentive and well managed, with very good staff.

The room was nestled in one of Paris’s older buildings. Had big window; fine in October. But no air-conditioning. Thus, sleeping here during these summer heat waves was surely uncomfortable (had some fans). They put in an elevator that could accommodate one person with a suitcase. I found that most of the Paris big 7-storey buildings were built in the middle of 19th century and had no elevators. City is not very senior-friendly (I’m 67). We bought 2-day metro passes, but used metro only in the mornings, with all the stairs down and up and again down and up. Metro station is 3-5 minutes walk from the hotel. We used UBER when we were tired, which was also a part of seeing the sights and the nightlife. In room’s bathroom there was a deep, clean and slippery bath tub. Nothing to grab, if you happen to slip. We found, that most of European hotels in older buildings were not senior-friendly. We skipped the 15-Euro breakfast and ate outside. The staff was friendly and English-speaking. Overall, due to cool October nights, we had peaceful and comfortable sleep at this hotel.
