France Albion

Memorable stay, 4 star qualities for a 2 star hotel. From the moment you walk in to this quaint hotel, you’re greeted by friendly staff in a small but cute lobby. Rooms are tastefully decorated. Great location south of sacré cœur and on the flat parts of the 9ème arrondissement, near Rue des Martyrs one of Paris’s trendy streets with an abundance of bakeries, patisseries, fancy cheese shops, butchers, ice cream shops, hair dressers, fruit stores, pharmacies, and lots of brasseries and bistros all along the two sides of the street. A two minute walk to a subway stop. We’ll definitely be back.

The people working at this hotel are very friendly and provide good service. The hotel is very well located in the city and it was ideal for me for the purpose of my visit to Paris. The room I stayed in was a little dated but it was clean and comfortable

The stay was excellent. All the staff were very kind and helpful. The room was also very clean. The hotel is located near two different metro stations and this was very useful. Excellent breakfast and excellent coffee at breakfast. Keep up the good work guys ❤️

Room perfectly clean, with all basics in place and in good working order. I found it impossible to grasp the working of the remote control, however, although one of the employees gave me a tip. A shame, as the TV had lots of international channels and worked well. The room was not noisy although the street is busy. I missed having tea- making facilities in the room.

Booked the rooms through Agoda, I was alone and the room was very comfortable and nice for one. Everything was clean, the staff were amazing. I had breakfast at the hotel as well and it was great with a lot of variety form 7am to 11am which was nice. The view from the balcony was great as well. One thing to be aware of the walls are a little thin so any time any others door on the floor would open I’d think somebody got into my room. But that’s the only mildly negative thing.

Amazing experience. Great location, spacious and very clean rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff, better than many other places where you can only get much less for much more money. I look forward to returning when I return to Paris.

I chose the hotel based on customer feedback and they were correct. The room was small but good. Only the noise from the street and the corridor made some disturbance during the night, next time I will ask for a room to the opposite side. However, the reception staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good but the staff on Friday was sort of ignoring all contacts. Same with the cleaning staff so it was a strong contrast to the great persons at the reception. There seemed to be some communication problems as I asked my room to be cleaned between 1 pm and 4.30 pm on Saturday but nothing had happened. So I had to do it again and it was done after I came back. That is all and thank you for the visit.

Stayed for 6 nights. Hotel was central for everything. Rooms were clean and a good size. Staff were accommodating and always happy to help. A fantastic option to visit Paris whether a short stay or longer. Couldn't have asked for more.

As a solo female traveler, I felt 100% safe here. The front door was locked and they opened it from the inside, keeping track of who was trying to come in. The neighborhood was fine and there were metro stations in both directions and a bus stop nearby for easy access to the rest of the city. There is a grocery store across the street which was nice to grab some snacks. The staff was AMAZING. Very helpful and friendly. Their English was top-notch and I got lots of great rec's during my stay for places to eat. The only downside was the size of my room. Don't get a single room. Even if you are traveling alone. Any time I wanted in my suitcase, I had to put it on my bed. There was no room to walk around the room and have the suitcase on the floor. I could store it in the small closet, but not open it. There was a tiny corner desk, but you couldn't put much more than a laptop on it. I would absolutely stay here again, but would pay extra for a double room. They can arrange for someone to pick you up/drop you off at the hotel. It's pricey, but average for the city. Very easy and nice to not have to fight public transportation with my suitcase.

It pains me not to give this place 5 stars, because the staff is so delightful. All of the front desk staff spoke English pretty well, which was very helpful when I needed directions or for them to act as a concierge temporarily. They also offered wake-up calls as soon as I got there. I felt pretty well protected as a single female traveling alone because the staff has to let you in after the sun goes down--they take notice who is going in and out! The rooms are very clean and perfect for a business stay. They also have better wifi than some other Paris hotels I have stayed at. However, this hotel is not what I would recommend for anyone who spends a lot of time here, or if you are traveling with companions who share a room with you. The shower curtains are very flimsy (not sure why they don't have a double liner shower curtain), and although having a moveable shower head is amazing, if you spray it the wrong way, you'll have a flood in the bathroom (which happened to me). Not a big deal when you are alone and can move from room to room if you left something on the floor that got wet, but I imagine it would be rough if you had to share space. There is little room to put a large suitcase. I suppose this would be fine if you have a soft duffle/backpack and can utilize the closet, but I ended up having my suitcases blocking my walking path. For breakfast, they charge 10 Euros for a pretty decent spread, but I never actually tried it since they have such a great location. Across the street is the market with fresh OJ, a cheese/fish shop around the corner, etc. I'd rather get out and explore. I also really liked the location since I could walk to the Moulin Rouge/Sacre-Couvre locations I was interested in exploring. It's about a 20 min walk, which is just far enough away to feel safe from the not so nice part of town. Overall, if you are traveling here for business, it's perfect! If you are just passing through and backpacking, it's perfect! If you are staying here for a week and plan on having lots of baggage, splurge a little more and get one of their bigger rooms so you don't get claustrophobic. Room Tip: Get a double bed room even if you are alone so you can have space to walk around and still have room...

Really enjoyable! Having come to Paris quite a few times, never staying at the top end hotels, but staying at 2-4 star places, I would say that this is probably the best, most comfortable 2 star hotel I can imagine and would come back. We were here for business meetings and all day meetings, so this puts into perspective my review. Not as a tourist or on a pleasure visit. 1. Area - In the 9th district and a decently long walk to the Louvre / Opera area, this place is completely surround within 2-3 blocks of plenty of restaurants, brassaries and pubs. This makes it an ideal place to hang out and have good food and relax. Not a touristy area, really, but all the places we tried near and around the area was just right. I give it a 4 star for convenience. 2. Metro - The St. George metro is about 1 street away and this makes it very, very convenient to traipsing around. 5 Star 3. Hotel Room - They only had double rooms available and thank god I took it. Nice double bed, firm, space to walk around it great air conditioner, small desk, great lighting and decent bathroom size. All modernized, renovated and while not plush, I would say it is one of the cleaner, modern and convenient rooms I can recall in Paris at this level of hotel. While the bathroom will not have every bottle of lotion, soap and extra fuzzy towels, it is just right. Great lighting. Only issue I would have is the fact that there is very, very limited electrical outlet. So, if you have several things to charge, good luck. good news, there is a quincaillerie (hardware) store one street down from the hotel and it is easy to buy an multiple outlet cord here. Very comfortable. 5 Star 4. Meeting Room - I picked this hotel because they had a meeting room that was quite reasonable for about 300 euro per day. We had enough room for a 9 person u shape setting, with projector, screen, easle and we had enough room to walk around, to expand out and we never felt tight at all. We could have easily had fitted 6 more people, but then it would have felt a bit squeezed. Great air conditioning in the room, highly effective. While not really conducive to having in room eating and beverage service, we did have the hotel coordinate for us a coffee break and have water at the table during the meetings. The service and coordination of this for a low key business meetings amongst colleagues is great and perfect. 5 Star. 5. Breakfast - The hotel has a small cellar on the "-1" floor basement that seats about maybe a maximum of 18 people at various 2 / 4 table settings. While quite small, it is quaint. While it easily fills up and can be hard to find a spot, it is very convenient. They serve cereals, breads, nice confitures, yogurt, scrambled eggs, hot potatoes and ham. They have your normal cheese and cold cuts, coffee, tea and breakfast drinks. Overall, very enjoyable and while not exactly mind blowing, simple and easy. The room came with the meal so that was worth it. 4 Star. 6. Wifi - Free wifi! We had 9 people in meetings all day on computers at a high level on the internet and we had hardly any issues. Even in my room, at the top floor, it worked. Sometimes slow, but worked! Overall, remember this is not a 5 star hotel. It is a 2 star hotel and probably best in its class I would stay here for holiday, longer stays, business stays, any stay. More intimate than the large hotels, and more casual. I like this place alot!!!

We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and was fluent in English. As with most Paris hotel rooms, this was small but just big enough. We did discover that the hotel front desk is not open 24 hours, so if you plan on going out to the clubs and coming back late, be sure to let the front desk know. The neighborhood is vibrant with a fantastic pastry shop just around the corner. There is a metro train station (St. Georges) less than a block away. If you're looking for a nice room that's a good value in Paris, this is the spot to be.

Loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Had a single room which was small but quite comfortable and nice size bathroom. Liked that the door to hotel is locked and must have an employee to open. Good safety feature. Close to two metro lines which was so convenient for getting to the sites.
