Hôtel Du Printemps

Visited this hotel with my daughter for 3 nights early December. |Location is excellent, steps from Picpus station and about a 5 minute walk to the larger nation station. |We caught an uber from Charles de Gaulle for convenience and it was about £30. |First impressions of the hotel are that it is very clean and well kept, relaxing foyer/lounge area . |Reception staff were thoroughly welcoming and so friendly, spoke fantastic English (ashamedly I don’t speak French) very very nice welcome to us.|Our room was 33, on 3rd floor, there is a tiny lift, we never needed to wait more than a minute or so for this.|Our room was only small, but perfect for what we needed, lovely view on to Parisian street too. |Lovely comfortable beds, a built in wardrobe, dressing table, good mirrors and fantastic shower, no issues at all with our room, we were comfortable, warm and slept so well. |Breakfast was typical continental, and served by lovely ladies, it was fresh and plentiful, set us up great for our long days in the city. |We would 100% return to this hotel, absolutely perfect for a short break to Paris. A delightful place to stay.

I wanted to be as close to Paris center as possible without paying exorbitant prices. This hotel fit the bill. The location is very quiet and safe. Every night we'd get out of the metro, it was like we were going home. It's very close to the metro, only 2 minutes walking. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. They always greeted us with smiling faces. Jennifer was a perfect hostess! ||The room was very small. It was smaller than an inside cabin on a cruise ship. The space on each side of the bed was very narrow. The space at the foot of the bed was small. There was a small closet and a small table and chair. The room was too small for a double bed. It might have been ok with a twin bed. I guess it might be a European standard. The bathroom was very small also. A small soap and body wash was provided. We could not figure out if the air conditioning worked. We were not able to make it do a thing. The walls were very thin. You could hear people walking in the hallways or moving in their rooms. We could sometimes hear people in the street also but that was generally rare because it was a quiet area. The floor in our room and hallways squeaked so it transferred the sound. We had to use a sound device to create the sound of the rain quite loud in order to drown out the squeaks of other spaces above and outside our room. ||We Didn’t have breakfast at the hotel as we wanted to purchase what we wanted from the bakeries. They had coffee and hot water in the lobby.||If the staff was not as pleasant as they were, I would have given 3 stars because of the small room and the lack of sound proofing. If the room was larger and felt more like a hotel than an old apartment, I would have given 5 stars.

This was my second stay at Hotel Du Printemps. Last time was 10 years ago. The hotel is nicely located in a very nice neighborhood. There are so many cafes & restaurants & bars within easy walking distance. It is not a very touristy area, it is a real neighborhood. The adjoining areas are also very pleasant. There are very easy & good transport options nearby so an excellent base for exploring Paris generally. The hotel itself is in good shape & for Paris, the rooms are a good size. This means small, but not too small! The hotel is well air-conditioned which is very welcome. Overall, I cannot fault the hotel, staff & service. I will certainly return.

Jennifer and Julien are wonderful, gracious people who helped us with our many requests for assistance. They are both sweet and kind. Your breakfast staff is also very good. You have a great hotel. Thank you for making our time in Paris so easy and pleasant.

The room was small and there was a big step when you entered the room, which I didn’t know, and then twisted my ankle and fell hard on my knee. So that would have been nice to know beforehand. But it was very close to the nation metro stop, which we used many times in our short stay here. Good for a place to stay, not a place you’ll be hanging out at for long periods, in my opinion.

I was disturbed by one of the workers even though i had my dnd sign hanging outside. I am a female solo-traveler, and the worker was male. He just came into my room and i really didn't like it... Thankfully i had my clothes on and i think they knocked several times before to inform, but i had my headphones on so i didn't really hear. It's probably because i was hanging the dnd sign for 3 days straight(i just don't like someone else coming into my room while i'm staying) and they wanted to check if i was alive or not but i think the hotel could've made a phone call or at least give me an apology. He just opened the door and left without any apology or an explanation...||Except for that, everything was ok. the staff in the reception was kind, i asked if i could borrow an electric kettle, he even suggested me the teabags for relaxing. ||The room has 2 doors, great for soundproof, doesn't have a fridge or a coffee machine, but you can watch netflix or youtube with the tv. The water pressure is bit low.||And the baggage keeping is free which i liked very much.

Stayed here for 6 nights. Incredibly comfortable throughout the stay. Overall standard of cleanliness and amenities are very high. ||Ideal hotel to choose when visiting Paris!

The hotel is well situated for getting about the city with Nation metro station as well as Picpus nearby. The area feels safe so long as you are diligent (as you should be in any major city).||||The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. We had an issue with the bathroom which was promptly solved. All in all would recommend. Fantastic stay.

Prices are right, especially considering that breakfast is included. Breakfast is a casual, serve-yourself affair downstairs with great quality croissants, eggs that you can boil yourself, cheeses, hams, fruit, yogurts, etc. Very nice! Rooms, while small, are very comfortable and clean. TV should be a bit better for relaxing at night. Bathrooms are TINY, but very nice and modern. They should stop allowing smoking in the courtyard, as all it does is waft into everyone's rooms. It would be great for them to provide more detailed info printed in various languages for their customers to show exactly how to get to the two-three closest Metro stations, as only one is VERY close. Nice neighborhood, multiple mini-markets nearby.

I have just returned from staying at this hotel for the past 8 days. I probably would have rated this 4 starts if it hadn't been under renovation. The good: - Friendly staff (with the exception of the Asian woman who cleans the breakfast bar area and seemed very upset that I kept wanting hot water from her) but the front desk people were amazing. - Clean rooms. Super clean. The housekeeping was exceptional. - Very affordable - Free Internet - Lots of good restaurants nearby - Located at the Nation metro stop which is a hub and connects to a bunch of metros (probably half of them) - They have rooms that accommodate 3 people (3 separate twin beds) so it's good for travelling with a group. It would be a really really good place to stay with 2 friends, the rate would be great split 3 ways. - EXCELLENT water pressure in the shower. Seriously. It was amazing. The bad: - It's at the Nation metro stop which is pretty far from downtown. It's a 35m walk from Bastille or Marais districts and a 10-15m metro ride. You have to leave this neighbourhood to get to anything cool. I think it's a fair trade for the price and cleanliness though. - When I was staying here they were renovating. It was very annoying. 2 mornings out of 8 I was woken up before 0800 by hammering and sawing and one morning there was no hot water. - No safe available. I had to carry my passport the entire week 100% of the time because there was nowhere to leave it. Major fail. Money belts are SO uncomfortable when it's 30 degrees out. - Hairdryer sucks. - 8 EUR for continental breakfast. Just go to the bakery around the corner for 1.20 EUR. - While the internet was free, it was also slow and unreliable. It seemed to work better with my iphone than with my laptop. Overall, I would probably not stay here again because of the distance to downtown. However, the hotel is very clean and the price was right.

I stayed here 3 nights on Sep 20-23 on Hoonymoon. I'll give this hotel 4 stars because overall it was a good experience. Clean rooms, friendly staff, near a metro. That being said, my review is aimed at Americans or non-french speakers. This hotel is located in a not too touristic part of Paris. Many of the people in the street/shops/restaurants near by did not really speak much English. Not really a problem and i'm sure you can get by with a smile and a few words. I didn't like that you had to hand in and pick up your room key each time you entered or left the hotel. They use actual keys and not keycards... Skip the paid breakfast plenty of cheap sandwich shops nearby. I used the picpus metro which connected to the main line that took us to all the touristic spots. There wasn't much taxis in the area so transportation could be an issue.

I stayed with a friend at this hotel during first week of September 2015. I can't say enough positive things about the hotel, including the breakfast served every morning. The staff is friendly, especially Yousef and Saed at the front desk. They were AMAZING !!!! The rooms are super clean; very affordable; FREE internet made it possible for me to travel without carrying along my lap top; assorted and reasonable restaurants nearby. While it is not downtown, I'm a writer and prefer to be "off the beaten path." Pick a room with separate twin beds, like we did. ENJOY!!!!

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights on our first visit to Paris last summer. Staff was really friendly and helped us a lot in finding great things to do. The room was a little small but well decorated and with A/C. Everything looked modern as the place has been renovated recently. It's not in the heart of the city but a short metro ride to anywhere exciting, including Disneyland. It was also easy to go to the airport when we left. Overall we had an amazing stay in Paris and this little charming hotel helped a lot. Would definitely go back on my next visit.
