Hôtel Exquis

A nice and cozy hotel with small rooms but a very comfortable bed. We really liked the hotel’s design—we were specifically looking for something bright and unique, and this was the perfect choice! A special mention for the room lighting—it’s excellent. A few cons: we would have liked disposable slippers since the tile floor is cold. In winter, the rooms can be cold as there is no heater, only an air conditioner that can be set to a maximum of 23°C. Definitely recommend!

Lovely hotel in a very lively and awesome neighborhood. Room was well furnished, spacious enough for 2 people and for a weekend getaway and we loved the Rituals products in the bathroom! The lights in the bathroom were super cozy as well. Would definitely recommend and will come back again

I spent four nights at the hotel and totally enjoyed it. I could do without the shabby chic in the lobby but the rooms (although quite small by U.S. standards) were cute, spotless and perfect for one person. For two, it might be a bit tight as the only place to sit is the bed, which by the way was very comfortable. My room overlooked the street and I loved it but you do hear urban life going on outside if you open your windows. For a quieter choice ask for a room not facing the street. My only suggestion is that management needs to install better lighting for reading in bed. The staff was helpful about directions, finding the Metro and suggesting local places to eat. The location is great. Two Metro stops are nearby, eating options abound, lots of great Parisian neighborhoods are in walking distance and the area is populated by Parisians, not tourists. I will definitely return.

We loved it here! Super friendly staff. The room was a good size and very clean. The location was safe and close to the train station! We would stay again!

Hôtel Exquis was unfortunately one of my least favorite places I’ve ever stayed. While I understand that hotel rooms in Paris can be small, this one felt claustrophobic—there was hardly any space to move around, and you could hear everything from the neighboring rooms. The stairs, elevator, and hallways were incredibly cramped, making it awkward to navigate, especially if another guest was nearby. Even waiting for the elevator felt uncomfortable because of how tight the space was. On the positive side, the bathroom had a cool lighting feature in the tiles, which created a unique effect. The water pressure and heat were excellent, which was a relief. I also enjoyed the breakfast, as it was one of the better aspects of the stay. That said, I was honestly just happy to leave. If you’re okay with extremely tight spaces and a lack of soundproofing, it might work for you, but personally, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 3 nights and we loved it! The rooms are very small but cleverly designed in the layout and very quirky. The bed was a great size, super comfortable and the pillows like clouds. The 2 female staff members on reception who we mostly saw were always very very helpful and super friendly. Lovely area with great bars,shops restaurants and patisseries, sight seeing wise it’s far out (1.5 hours roughly to the effort tower) but a lovely walk still with lots to see! I would recommend this hotel 100%

My room was small but functional and I loved all the creative lighting (stars in the bathroom, lights at the end of pipes) and fun decor. The central air conditioning was amazing for hot days and the blackout curtains allowed me to sleep in when desired. The hotel itself is clean and located in a safe area surrounded by tons of dining options. The staff is pleasant and helpful and they will let you store your luggage as needed. This hotel is perfect for solo travelers like myself. I definitely recommend and would stay here again!

I'll get the main negative out of the way first - the room was tiny. Staying as a group of two with twin beds the room really was tight, and the room would be better suited to solo travellers. If you need lots of space, don't book this hotel! In fairness, the room sizes are clearly advertised on booking websites, so I can't really criticise the hotel for this, but just be aware. The other thing is the lift is very small as well, barely big enough for two people and luggage. But at least there is a lift.||The hotel has nice and unique designs, quite funky and Parisian throughout. The beds are firm, but as I found them comfortable and slept well. Whilst the breakfast doesn't promise much from the hotel website, we thought the quality of items on offer was exceptional, in particular the eggs which were absolutely delicious. The air conditioning worked very well and cooled the room quickly. There was no view of note from our room, don't expect to see the Eiffel Tower from this hotel (not a surprise as the hotel is on the other side of the city...). The staff were polite and efficient. For Paris, the hotel rate was reasonable especially with the breakfast added on.||I think the biggest positive is the location. It's not in a 'touristy' area, but instead the neighbourhood offers a really local and buzzy vibe, especially in the evenings with lots of excellent restaurants and wine bars within 5 minutes' walk (not to mention a Michelin star restaurant opposite the hotel). It's a pleasant 20 minute walk to the Bastille/Marais areas, and the nearest metro is 5 minutes away, or alternatively there's a frequent bus that takes you to Hotel de Ville in the city centre. You won't need to go anywhere else in Paris to eat if you stay in the 11th arrondissement. There aren't really any tourist attractions nearby, but this is a really great place to stay for a more local experience in my view.

The Good: :: neat boutique hotel :: very friendly service :: location is great--close to cafes, restaurants, etc :: very clean :: very quiet :: comfy bed, neat shower stall with starlight lights in the shower walls The Bad: :: verrrryyy small rooms...do not expect to have space for a lot of bags/things! very tight for just 1 person, much less 2! just enough clearance for walking around the bed. The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? Certainly would. For a clean, modern, functional place to crash, this place for the price in Paris can't be beat! This place is IN.

The rooms may not be big but this is one of my favorite boutique chic hotels in Paris. If you fancy mixed patterns that match and twinkle lights nicely built into the shower walls then this is the place for you. AC in every room and a staff that's equal attractive as charming. Everyone is extremely nice. Breakfast is not complementary but it's served in a cute little basement cafe. The hotel is located in the 11th which I prefer as its hip and fun with great coffee shops, bars and restaurants! Give It a try!

By North American standards the rooms/hallways/elevator may be quite small but this was one of my favorite boutique hotels in Paris I stayed in! Staff was incredibly nice and helpful upon check in. The 11th is a great area to stay in and walk around and shop, the interior decor of this hotel matches the chic and hip vibe of the 11th perfectly! We received a great deal on Expedia for a standard double room, and while it did not include breakfast, it was a great value with A/C in every room, free WiFi, free late checkout, and secure entryway into the hotel. The bathrooms were equipped with the most adorable twinkle lights within the tiles on the wall and the best part was the RAINFALL SHOWERHEAD!

Wonderful hotel in the 11th! The location is just ok, that was my only gripe with Hotel Exquis. The design is amazing. The rooms are small, but it is Paris so you shouldn't expect much else. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The design is beautiful - they have this lighting in the bathroom that makes it look like stars. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was good. It was very quiet, very clean, and incredibly comfortable.

Nice little boutique hotel in the 11th. Booked this hotel for 5 nights on a sale and with some 'reward points' I had and the reviews on other sites seemed good. It's a boutique hotel, so the rooms are very small (by North American standards) and it has a 'surrealist' theme. The short and sweet: THE GOOD: - good location - next door to a bakery (great for breakfast and snacks), down the street from a small convenience store and laundromat and plenty of eating and shopping in the area (hotel provided a pretty helpful guide of 'unusual' sights/restaurants around Paris. Short 10 - 15 min walk to a few metro stops. The 11th isn't a touristy area - so there are plenty of local spots that are reasonably priced by Paris standards - staff is helpful and friendly -- was more than happy to help us open some wine bottles that I had bought but forgot we didn't have an opener - hotel appears to be newly renovated - well maintained and was a lot nicer than I expected for the price I paid - free WiFi - the hotel provides you with a smartphone to use with 4G internet - we didn't use this as we had our own SIM cards with data and preferred to use our own phones. Unfortunately, the hotel phones don't allow tethering/mobile hotspot (hence getting our own SIMs). Also, note that the hotel phones are 'locked' down (presumably for security) - looks like you can look up directions, access social media, etc. -- wish the implementation was a bit better, but nice perk nonetheless - the shower is fantastic -- combination of a overhead rainfall showerhead and a shower wand THE NOT-SO-GOOD - the hotel room is small - we had a queen-sized bed and the room had all the basics and was comfortable most of the time - but for 2 adults with one full-sized luggage and one carry-on, it was sometimes a struggle to find space to dig through your luggage - there is one slow-moving elevator which only fits 2 grown adults - we stayed on the top-floor (5th) and a couple of times, as we were going down to the lobby, other guests had to wait until the elevator came back up or they had to take the nearby stairs - breakfast was not included in our package and goes for €14/pp/day (competitive with other restaurants in the area). Not that I expected it for the price we paid, but the spread looked good from what I saw. However, we simply grabbed breakfast from the next-door bakery. My complaints are very minor as this was a nice, no-frills hotel with a nice aesthetic in a great neighborhood.
