It's a very cute hotel, and it's in the hip section of Belleville. I had never visited Paris before. And I really liked staying in Belleville. It reminds me of Brooklyn NY.

The room I stayed in was super small. Not big enough for two people, in my opinion. The sink is actually in the room.

No tv, but that didn't bother me. I loved the Bluetooth speaker in the room. It had a good sound.

The bed was super comfy. And the air conditioner worked well.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful little boutique hotel. The hotel itself was stunning, full of charm and character, but what truly made the experience so special was the staff. They were incredible from the moment we checked in and made every evening feel so welcoming and relaxed.

I stayed here with my parents whilst running the Paris Marathon, and the team were genuinely excited and supportive throughout the trip. They even gave me a lovely little gift to write my times and memories in, which was such a thoughtful touch.

I would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for somewhere unique, personal, and full of warmth. It was a truly memorable stay and such a special place to experience Paris from.

I loved my stay at Babel, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming spot in Belleville. It downhill and just around the corner from an artisan Boulangerie that had ancient grains breads and world class pain a chocolat and pastries. If you wandered further up hill on the back streets there were so many little charming shops and coffee shops. I had some of my most whimsical and grounded days in Paris wandering these streets in Belleville. Babel is also steps away from a market on the weekends, rows and rows of fresh produce, protein, and seafood and the metro. What made Babel special was not only the location but the staff. I really enjoyed getting to interact with them, Mohamed, Siba, David, Stefano, Noah, Yumbi, Malka, were wonderful and all helped me in various ways-- whether it was making sure I hard warm cream for my coffee, or Siba helping me get checked in early, calling and Uber for me when I needed help, and holding my room for me while I dealt with a personal emergency-- they were personable and warm, and I very much appreciated them. Noah and Yumbi made delicious drinks and helped me when I lost my purse in the city. I was very, very blessed to stay here, and would give them a 10/10.

I loved everything about this hotel. I'm someone who likes to experience a neighborhood's character and get to know it like a friend. This is the perfect spot to get to know Belleville, with local artists and their ateliers just around the corner, a lively street life, and a variety of restaurants and people. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the restaurant served perhaps the best meal I had in the city, and the patio seating was a fun place to end my evenings. I also liked the little touches such as the locally made Bluetooth speaker in each room and the hotel's curated playlist, \"Spirit of Babel.\" Lastly, the Metro is right nearby, making ventures into the rest of Paris very easy. I hope to stay here again, during my next trip!

We loved our stay at Babel Belleville. Out of the tourist path but still easy to access the rest of the city (2 minutes to the nearest metro!) it is an ideal location for those who want a more authentic neighborhood experience. Our room was clean and beautifully decorated and we appreciated the gorgeous Babel toiletries. Our only complaint is that one morning a fire alarm went off - we rushed out of our room with a group of other panicked guests to the reception who didn’t even look up. We asked what was going on and whether we should be exiting and they said “I think it’s a test”. It was disappointing to not have been told this would be happening (if it was true) and to be treated with such nonchalance when we were still in our PJs and bare feet. Otherwise would definitely recommend.

This may have been our favorite hotel room in a long while, and certainly the best in our two week trip across France. The room was beautifully decorated and every little thing was thought of. Not much storage to be had in the room, but it was so great otherwise that we didn’t have even mind that. It’s a great location (2 minute walk to the metro and within walking distance of hundreds of restaurants and a great view of the Eiffel Tower). Staff was great. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but it smelled delicious.

Babel Belleville is a lovely hotel with an unique style. It is very clean and a minute wallk from Babel tube station so it was easy to get to every place to explore. The staff at the reception was super helpful and friendly, it was a pleasure to talk to them. I don't think Belleville is a great area but we did not feel unsafe. I would have loved having a small TV perhaps.
Definitely would go back as the hotel is a great vallue for money.

I really enjoy led my stay at Babel the room and facilities were clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. As I’ve been to Paris many times I didn’t mind the location but I feel as though if it was my first time I would probably enjoy a more central area. Having said this, the metro and bus is right outside and you can get to tourist areas easily and quickly! The price was also very affordable, so I would stay here again!

Overall a good experience with the hotel.
It was charming and chic.
The restaurant for lunch and dinner is great, seemed very hip and the food was fantastic - I’d skip the breakfast on my next visit.

Make sure you explore the neighborhood - there are some gems.

The staff seemed annoyed by my lack of French language skills and didn’t try to hide it.

The hotel has a lovely interior with interesting design. The rooms are comfortable and inviting.
Bars from neighbouring properties to stay active late and can be noisy. The morning drinks options in the room are limited and although the options are interesting it would be nice to have them replenished and other options.
Breakfast unfortunately was a little disappointing. Options that were included were limited and small. Staff were slow and service a little unclear.
On the whole though staff were pleasant and friendly. Would still recommend the hotel but maybe go somewhere else for breakfast.

I had heard good reviews so was disappointed. The room was very small and while small rooms are normal in Paris, I had to step over my bags to get around. Noise from the bar restaurant reaches even the 4th floor especially at night.

Great hotel, locale slightly lacking

This is a great hotel - it has a great vibe, is nicely decorated, is very clean, and has friendly staff. The rooms are a bit cosy, but that’s standard in Paris.

The only downside to this place is the location - it’s great if you don’t mind hopping on the metro to go anywhere, but it’s not super walkable. The local area is a bit rough and ready with quite a few kebab shops and discount clothing stores. Whilst you can see signs of development if you head more in the Goncourt direction, with some cool food places and bars popping up, it’s not somewhere we enjoyed hanging around for more than 1/2 nights.

There are two really cool places nearby though - the Canal Saint-Martin is really pleasant and has some trendy food and drink places, and the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont park is lovely with a really cool bar & pizza place called Rosa Bonheur. Highly recommend both.

Really cool hotel in one of my fav areas in Paris. Very unique experience/vibe. There was an issue with Hotels.com and the payment during my check-out, but since I was late for my uber to the airport, the receptionist let me leave and solve the issue at a late time. Very understanding and patient. Great customer service. Can't give them any faults <3
