The hotel is actually clean, smells nice, very friendly and welcoming staff. But the room is extremely tiny, small, you need to move sideways as there is no space to move at all. No vanity kit, hair conditioner, body cream, so take it with you. But i would not recommend the area at all. Very dirty, dangerous, dodgy. You dobt feel safe even to go outside even though its only 10 min drive to the center.

On returning from the conference after a full day, I was unable to access the hotel, I have not been given a key to unlock the main hotel door and it seemed highly unusual to not be able to enter immediately. I rang the doorbell and knocked on the door for 6-7 minutes before someone came to unlock it and allowed me to enter. I asked why I was unable to enter and he was dismissive and shouted at me that he answered straight away, though this was not the case.

The area itself appears very rough, there are homeless people sleeping on mattresses outside and the street is dark without lighting, perhaps this is why the main door is kept locked? For a safety issue? But it is not therefore not safe for me to be left knocking on the door to gain entry at 9pm if the surrounding area is risky. The lack of guaranteed access to the hotel especially given the area is very worrying from a personal safety standpoint.

At around midnight, still unable to sleep due to noise from other guests due to very thin walls I started to smell cigarette smoke, this has pervaded through the room and all my clothes now smell of stale cigarettes and my throat is inflamed ahead of my 25 min keynote tomorrow.

There are other issues such as no bathroom heating, resulting in damp towels, and the hot water is only tepid with weak water pressure, making it difficult to wash.

Online it was advertised as to be something really better than what it is , the images are slightly misleading , there is no balcony in the superior room as shown online and the room is super small and tight . Bathroom is also very small and shower is tiny . Its very old fashioned and a little disappointed for the price I paid .

This was a small, quaint, and very nice hotel. Getting there from Gare Nord was a bit of a walk which is fine, but the neighbourhood is very busy and noisy so be prepared for that. Once inside the hotel it was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Only downside was that rooms do not offer small fridges, but staff will give you ice buckets if requested. Staff was very friendly at all hours and speak english for smooth transactions and conversations. Would absolutely stay again!

Doesn’t feel four star

Small room, with cheap fixtures, and they did not offer an ironing board with the iron. The location is well connected by transport links but not particularly pleasant to walk around. The staff were friendly and attentive. Too expensive for the quality offered - it did not feel like a four star hotel.

The staff at this hotel is very kind and helpful. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The room was also absolutely tiny, if you are traveling with more than a backpack you will have no place to open the suitcase without occupying the whole floor. The balcony door cannot open without hitting the bed. So…tiny is the key here. There is no minibar or room safe.

Now, when you go outside…the area is colorful and dynamic. It was pointed out to us that we were in a bad neighborhood by a cabbie, being from Chicago sometimes you don’t wanna judge right off the bat. But, yes, it’s not entirely a safe-feeling neighborhood.

We usually like to stay in the 18th but didn’t realize that a few blocks would make such a strange difference - noted!

Aside from the immediate surrounding property, within 5 minutes of walking, you reach beautiful historical areas with lots of people, dining, and music. The hotel is in a very nice location. The hotel is nicely done on the inside and the air conditioning is wonderful. I wouldn’t have changed anything about the stay.

Our room was small but well organized and very clean. The personnel were friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately the neighborhood contains some rough spots, especially at the nearest metro entrance. This limited evening activities. One of our party had a neck chain snatched right in front of the hotel entry. While the chain was recovered, the experience marred a fine stay.

I had a wonderful stay at Maison Barbes. It took me a lot of time to find a hotel and after going through all of the reviews, I decided to choose this one. I’m so glad I did!

The staff was so kind and so helpful. Being American, I felt very welcomed. Shout out to Dina. Her hospitality really made all the difference for my stay.

The rooms were very clean. Daily room cleaning service was provided and I had everything I needed. The hotel room was small but it was just me and I was barely in it. It was perfect for this trip. If you’re used to a big city (I lived in NYC), then you will find the area very safe. I walked around at night and never had an issue.

There were also a ton of people around at all times. Never once did I feel unsafe. I will say if you’re not used to a city, this may feel unsafe to you but in my opinion it was not. I loved how close it was the Montmartre. I walked there and had the most beautiful day! I didn’t find the noise to be an issue. In any city, you’re going to hear noise but it didn’t disrupt my sleep. Infact, I’ve never slept so well in a hotel especially when traveling different time zones.

Can’t recommend this hotel enough!

We slept comfortably, room size is just great for me and my husband, spacious. I did not expect too much but when we got to the hotel, staff were already nice and helpful. Front desk Answered all of oue questions!! They keep our room clean, bathroom was really clean and spacious and comfortable. Wifi was great, bed was so comfy honestly we felt like sleeping in and just staying in the hotel room because it was so comfy in there but of course we were in Paris so we didn't want to waste it!! But overall hotel is great!!!

This hotel is NOT a 4 star hotel. The view from the so-called \"superior\" rooms are horrible. We left the property after 5 minutes and booked another hotel room, in Luxembourg. The 3 star hotel had more amenities than in this one. The picture on Expedia were not accurate and the neighborhood is unsafe.

The room was quite small and the roof was so low that it easily hit the head of people with normal height.
The manager was not so nice given that he/she charged 25 euros on an already-worn out bathroom cup.

If you are looking for a hotel with the convenience of Gare Du Nord train station, and the only thing you’re gonna do is sleep there while you go off and explore..well this is your place. If you’re looking at it as a hotel to lounge about and use and pop in frequently…..This area is not a very nice area to do that. It’s a bit over priced for that. Elevator broke while I was in it and was stuck for over an hour. Was offered no compensation for the extraordinary inconvenience. Staff was friendly. Area just too rough for a paris hotel stay.

Better areas

The room was extremely small but very clean and a comfortable bed and good shower
The area didn’t seem very safe at all, lots of men hanging about and going to the nearby metro was scary, I definitely wouldn’t recommend females to stay here unless happy to spend money on taxis , which we did. It’s not as close to montmarte advertised
The girls on reception were nice but not able to give advice. The card machine only seemed to work sometimes which I thought was quite strange , I’m sure it would have worked for a hotel payment!
I wasn’t told there was a 100 euro deposit. When I questioned this I was told it was in the small print but perhaps make it in the large print or even tell the customer this at check in. It was eventually returned to my account after 3 days of checking out
Nice enough hotel in wrong are .

Perfection. Impressive.

Low-key, high-end, swank. Quiet hotel in a very lively area.
Location couldn’t be more convenient.
Thirty second walk to Metro 2 & 4, from Gar du Nord it’s a 4min drive or 10min walk.
I could not ask for anything more than the above in Paris.
Walk 6min in any direction and can be in +5 distinctly different neighborhoods. 7 min walk to Sacré-Cœur! This is also where you can see the panoramic view of Paris. I went twice.
Room had plenty of space, big and comfortable mattress, hardwood floors, cool lighting options, new TV, and above average climate control. It was very warm in winter, even without having the heat turned on. The windows open for fresh air if you want, and the curtains close to be black-out.
Cool staff, and they employ many.
I’m from Texas and Florida, US. I loved it here.

Entrance area was lovely. Very warm and welcoming and beautifully decorated. The lady on reception was friendly and helpful. Our room was fine, very basic. The bed was comfortable and clean but it was freezing cold. We just couldn’t get it to warm up, which wasn’t nice because my 2 year old had a really bad cold and cough.
We didn’t use any other facilities as arrived late and checked out early.
There was bottled water in the room but no coffee making facilities which was disappointing. Luckily the nice lady in reception gave me a cup of warm milk for my daughter :-)

Great hotel.

Arrived on the first day to less than impressive service at the front desk. Most staff very kind and helpful, but one or two could do with being a little more friendly or enthusiastic. Was met, initially, with blunt and lazy service at the front desk. However, from there the service only picked up. Other staff extremely kind, room cleaned well, was in top condition when we arrived in it, the air con is great. Could do with better advertisement for the Spa and Fitness Room as we were not aware of them before it was too late. Area around the hotel a little hectic, many on the street attempting to sell stuff to you with an urgent intensity which was a little off-putting, but if you ignore them you’ll generally be ok.

Smidigt med tågstationen (M4) tvärsöver men därför även lite tveksamt område kvälls- och nattetid med hemlösa osv.

Bokade två rum, superior (litet men effektivt och väldigt bra) och family (väldigt litet och dålig plats för toalletstolen).

Enklare men god och bra frukost.

Superior-rum rekommenderas! Klart värt den lilla extrakostnaden för extremt välplanerat rum och toalett med två fönster.
