Hôtel La Manufacture

I stayed here in January for work. The hotel is cozy and welcoming, very clean, with extremely kind and always helpful staff. The beds are truly comfortable, and the rooms are well-heated. The continental breakfast offers both sweet and savory options, with delicious bread and croissants. It’s conveniently located, within 25 minutes by metro or bus from all the main attractions. The area around the hotel is full of bistros and restaurants offering cuisine from various cultures. It’s also well-served by all essential services.

This cozy hotel in Paris offers excellent value for money. While the rooms are compact, they are comfortable. The nearby metro station provides convenient access to the rest of the city. For the best rates, consider booking directly through the hotel's official website.

I have spent six nights in this hotel and it is very nice, the rooms are very clean and comfortable and the bed is perfect!!. The personnel are very polite and friendly and the hotel is in a very nice neighborhood and close to a metro and bus hub where you could go everywhere in Paris. It takes 30 minutes walking to Notre Dame.

Stayed here for a couple of nights, room was decent sized and clean. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming too, the hotel itself was very well decorated. Right next to a police station so you do hear police sirens every now.||It's also a few minutes walk from really nice local bakeries, as well as the metro which can bring you straight to the main centre of Paris. Overall, a good choice for anyone.

I can't say enough great things about this place! Firstly it’s very close to the metro line which was a huge plus for me since I was exploring everyday. Then from the moment I walked into the hotel, I was greeted by the warmest staff and such a clean, inviting and sophisticated atmosphere. Since I arrived so early they were able to hold my luggage with ease until I arrived back later that evening. During check-in I was pleasantly made aware that I was upgraded to a higher floor room, which prioritized safety as I had requested during my initial booking process. The room was equipped with fresh water, kettle, tea and coffee, towel warmer, two towel sets and I swear one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in in a hotel! The room was quiet and even had blackout curtains. All and all I had the most wonderful time and I will definitely be back! I hope if you’re reading this review that you also decide to make your stay in Paris at this place!

Beautiful little hotel ! Loved sitting in the cozy lobby with a drink, and enjoyed the breakfast and breakfast room. Room was nice and clean, big windows. Location is steps from the Place d'Italie which has 3 Metro lines right there, one goes directly to the Louvre and Opera, another to Bastille and Marais district. About 5 or 6 brasseries are right in the neighborhood !

Very quaint hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. What I enjoyed most was the central location to great restaurants and many shopping experiences. It was also close to convenient public transportation.

Clean. Friendly. Comfortable beds. We booked a "family room" which was actually two rooms with a little antechamber that connected them. We had two bathrooms for the 4 of us ! (2 adults and 2 kids) The breakfast was included and we enjoyed the variety of eggs, meats, cheeses, breads, cereals, yogurts and coffees. The very hard-working staff were very accommodating (Merci to all of you) It was exceptionally clean and the location was one block from the metro. So easy to get to the big tourist spots. Locally, there were restaurants, fantastic bakeries, and a grocery store within a couple of blocks. If you were willing to walk 5 blocks, even more stores available. The windows opened and the blackout curtains were effective. Really enjoyed our stay there.

We were in Paris to see all the typical touristy things not to stay in a hotel room so we booked small and budget friendly. The bed was comfortable, staff was friendly, and rooms clean. Free wi-fi. Would stay again. The location is near a franprix grocery store so we often picked up some items to picnic during the day. It is also a stones throw away from a bakery- we skipped the expensive hotel breakfast and walked over to the bakery for fresh quiche or pastries. Location is outside of the main attractions but really close to a metro stop. It is not really close to great dinner restaurants so you'll probably want to eat before coming back to the hotel. We asked on day one if we needed to leave our key, we told no and didn't our entire stay. It's a feature, not a bug- if you worry about pick-pockets or misplacing your key, leave it.

Hotel La Manufacture seemed like a great idea at first blush. Attempts to pay for internet access via credit card lead to my credit card company blocking the shady seeming charges and calling me at my old desk in New York to confirm it was me. Why don't hotels just get with the 21st century and offer wifi with the room rate? Breakfast itself was fine, but the environment and staff had an unpleasantly rigid feel. Best part about the hotel? Its proximity to metro (so you can get out of the 13th and to more inspiring climes.) Bottom line: I wouldn't want to return. And if you're thinking of coming here on business and your business requires you to get online, think again!

What a great experience! We stayed in the Eiffel Room and it was everything we wanted in a Paris hotel room. Aside from the view, the room was large with a roomy bathroom! The staff were all very nice and friendly; they even mapped out how to get around the City on the Metro. I recommend adding the hotel breakfast to the room...it had everything you need to start a great day of wandering around the city. The hotel is also very close to a Metro stop which made traveling around very easy.

Better than the Bed and Breakfast we stayed at in Belgium but certainly not like the Hilton in London. The staff was not helpful unless you insisted. The craziest thing...which we did not find out until our 3rd day was that we had to leave our room key at the front desk every time we left the hotel. This was not consistent with each desk person. The location is great if you do not have a rental car. Otherwise it will drive you crazy. Our "small" corner room with small balcony was nice, but we couldn't see anything. I would not recommend anyone that needs a little space to stay here.

The location is great, close to everything. Staff is great, rooms are well equipped and clean. The only downside: It is a little too noisy in the morning. 8:30-9:00AM on a Saturday woke up with drill and hammer noises. I'm sure it doesn't happen all the time though. I recommend it for the location.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel La Manufacture for 3 nights at the end of June. I chose the hotel because it was outside of the major touristy areas, but close to a metro station. It's also more reasonably priced than many hotels in Paris, costing around 100 euro a night. The hotel is really easy to get to from the airport, just catch the RER B train to Denfert-Rochereau and then transfer to Metro line 6 to Place d'Italie station, which is a very short walk from the hotel. Warning: this is a huge pain in the butt with a large suitcase because you have to carry the suitcase up and down many sets of stairs, but is infinitely cheaper than a cab or airport shuttle. I want to update from Wise C's review and say that you can buy metro tickets at this station from either a machine or from the customer service window. The hotel itself is very nice and situated on a quiet street. It's within walking distance to many bakeries and restaurants. The hotel does offer breakfast, but it's really expensive, so you're much better off going essentially anywhere else. If you walk north of the hotel, you'll reach a windy street that has a ton of neat restaurants, grocery stores, and bars that are reasonably priced. It's also really easy to catch the Metro anywhere in the city. For example, it took around 20-25 minutes to get to the Eiffel Tower from the hotel. The lobby is clean and bright, and the staff are friendly. We booked a club room with air conditioning. While the room was quite small (it was dominated by the queen size bed) it was clean. The room was also equipped with free wifi, you just have to agree to the terms and conditions every 24 hours. On our final night, the maid forgot to give us a second towel, but this was easily fixed by going down to the front desk. The only negative about this hotel is that you have to drop your room key off at the front desk before you venture out for the day. This wouldn't be so bad, but they don't do any sort of ID check when you ask for your key back at the end of the day. You could theoretically say any room number and get that key. There is a safe in the room for your valuables, and we didn't have any problem when we stayed there, but it's quite the security risk. I really hope they improve this system. Overall, I really liked Hotel La Manufacture, and I would happily stay here again.

Very comfortable stay. Bed and pillows very high quality. Excellent air-conditioning. Close to metro and bus stops for easy access to the sights. Extremely friendly and efficient staff. No problems connecting to Internet. We had a standard room, which was just a little small. But very good value. Would stay again.

My wife and I recently spent 5 nights at the La Manufacture hotel during our excursion through Paris. Overall the hotel is a hidden gem and quite a bargain with only a few minor flaws. Here is a quick rundown of our experience: Pros - The location of this hotel is nearly perfect. Away from the craziness of city center, yet perfectly located within walking distance of MANY great cafes, restaurants, the Latin quarter as well as the metro station. During a mid day break we could find a new café to enjoy a glass of wine or a new place to dine every evening. This greatly reduces costs associated with taxi rides and dealing with the metro. In regards to the metro - its worth mentioning that one can not purchase new metro station tickets at the closest station - place d'italie. You must walk towards the opposite direction down the street to Los gobelins to do so. Cons: The hotel has a policy that you must hand over your room key when leaving the hotel for the day. This is not a big deal. HOWEVER upon return when requesting your room key, the hotel staff NEVER asks for any form of ID. Anyone could walk up to the front desk and state a random room number and gain access to any room. A simple measure of requesting ID upon returning the key could make the security of this hotel MUCH better. Lastly, another area of improvement could be the breakfast. The cost of breakfast is 15 Euro which is a bit pricy considering what they offer - pastries, cereal and cured meats. I suggest walking across the street to the café with the identical name of the hotel - La Manufacture and ordering the complete breakfast for $12 Euro. Its less expensive and much much better. Overall this is a great place to stay. With two small improvements this hotel outshines the competition for the price range.
