Romantic Hotels in Paris

"Excellent location, offering a glimpse into the heart of Paris. A kettle is provided in the room. Note that toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers) are not provided. The elevator is very small; it feels like it can only fit two people at most 😀."

"Although there are minor details, you can tell the hotel is making a concerted effort to maintain the property. It's located in an area popular with young people, so there's noise from nearby pubs until the early morning. However, I booked knowing that this is typical for a lively, youthful area. If you're sensitive to noise, earplugs work wonders for a good night's sleep! The constant foot traffic actually makes it feel safer. Public transport is abundant, and it's easy to get around on foot. There are plenty of parks and sights to see. Dining, drinking, and shopping are all conveniently close by. The panini shop diagonally across the street is fantastic; the experienced gentleman who makes them creates paninis with perfect crispness and flavor. I've been to France about 20 times over the last 26 years, and I always make sure to have a panini, but these are truly exceptional. The kebabs and fries made by the younger gentleman were also delicious. I stayed in a room with a balcony on the 5th floor, which required climbing a few steps from the elevator to the room. Other reviews mentioned this, and I was prepared. I understood that given the building's structure, this was the only way to install the elevator. I imagine it would be challenging for older guests with large, fully packed suitcases (20kg+) during check-in and check-out. For everyday stays, it's not an issue at all. People say the elevator is small, but there are even smaller ones in other Paris hotels. The reception staff are very kind, even if you don't speak French. Sometimes, when there's a language barrier, you can really see people's true character. As someone who works in hotel management, specifically as an assistant manager in a 130-room city hotel, I'm always impressed by front desk staff who can offer such welcoming hospitality and respond to guests' needs with such dedication. The front desk team at Hotel Bastille Secret truly provided exceptional hospitality."

"Very pleasant and helpful stuff, day and night. Nice location really close to the Blanche metro station and in Montmartre. Room is clean and stylish, quiet (ours was facing inner yard, not the street), just a bit smaller than usual. Free tea is available on the floor, not in the room, but it’s not a problem."

"Had a wonderful stay at the First Hotel. The service throughout the hotel was warm and professional. Special thanks to Omar from the front desk, when I checked in being told I was the last guest who arrived ( was around midnight) he said he gave me the best room with amazing view, which is very nice touch of him and his hospitality skills, especially to me after a long journey and feeling knackered. Rooms and bed are spacious and super clean with a views of Eiffel Tower. They clean the room daily and there's a TV, AC, WiFi, coffee corner, free bottle of water, a nice clean bathroom with shower and amenities too. Overall, First Hotel is a fantastic small modern boutique hotel, made me feel like home, good location close to train station, cafés, restaurants & shops. I highly recommended this hotel and will 100% stay here again.!!"
