R. Kipling Hotel by Happyculture

We had the best stay again! This is the 3rd time we stayed at Kipling and will definitely go again the next time we are Paris. The rooms are clean, well kept and comfortable. The interior is warm and stylish. A special mention to the reception staff who are so friendly and helpful. Thank you for having us!

We had a wonderful stay, Couldn't fault it. The location of the hotel was excellent, really old-fashioned little streets, which made you feel you were in the heart of paris, really easy to get around 2 minutes from the metro and walking distance of reststrants and cafés. The hotel had a very comfy and relaxing feel. The room was really clean, comfy bed loved sitting out on the balcony,the decor really in keeping with the building. The. Staff very plesant and helpful, Nice breakfast with good selection of everything . Hot drinks in the lobby with fresh water and pastries . Would definitely recommend if want a authentic stay in paris in a relaxing atmosphere.

I booked a solo room which was compact but clean and quite suitable for my short stay in Paris. I actually liked the bathroom and amenities, especially the refillable water fountain and coffee machine downstairs. It's also located in a pretty decent area, so I didn't have as many concerns about walking around even at night (obviously one should stay alert regardless). It's an older hotel, but I thought it was well-maintained and had unique furnishings. It's also easy to walk to many places and hop onto bus or rail transit from this location.

Mixed Experience with Location Benefits Room Quality and Space: The room was significantly smaller than advertised in photos, with limited space to move around comfortably. The cramped conditions made the stay less enjoyable than expected. Our room overlooked a construction site in the backyard, resulting in daytime noise that could be disruptive for light sleepers or those planning to rest during the day. Cleanliness and Maintenance: While the room appeared clean upon arrival, housekeeping standards seemed inconsistent during our stay. The bed linens didn't appear to be changed regularly, and by the third day, an unpleasant odor had developed from the bedding area. However, the bathroom was reasonably sized relative to the room and well-maintained, with fresh towels provided regularly throughout our stay. Breakfast: The breakfast offering was adequate but basic, with limited variety that becomes repetitive after a few days. For extended stays, guests might want to explore nearby restaurants for variety. The lobby features a 24-hour coffee machine and water station, which is essential since rooms lack mini-fridges. This means multiple trips downstairs for water and refreshments. Service and Location: The hotel staff were accommodating and friendly, assisting with early check-in requests and providing luggage storage for guests arriving before check-in time. The location is the property's strongest asset, situated just five minutes from the nearest metro station with convenient access to restaurants, bars, and attractions. The famous Moulin Rouge is within a 10-minute walk, making it ideal for tourists. Overall Assessment: While the hotel serves its purpose for short stays, the combination of cramped accommodations and premium pricing reflects the location's value rather than the property's quality. Best suited for travelers prioritizing location over comfort, particularly for stays of two nights or less. The convenience of nearby transportation and attractions may justify the cost for some visitors, but those seeking spacious accommodations or extended stays should consider alternatives.

I stayed in a single room at Hotel R. Kipling for three nights. The room was clean and quiet, and the breakfast was nice. The hotel is in a good location, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. In particular, Hassi helped me several times and provided plenty of useful information about Paris. Her recommendations enhanced my travel experience.

We stayed here for two nights in two rooms during a family trip. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows, and the bathrooms were spacious. Both the bedroom and bathroom had windows, allowing for good ventilation. Breakfast offered a nice selection of bread, pastries, cereal, fruit, yogurt, ham, cheese, sausages, and eggs. The staff were friendly, and the location was excellent, within easy walking distance of Montmartre and metro/bus stations.

Lovely little hotel. The rooms are cozy and bed comfortable. The average room is small, but many are in that area, and for us (couple), it was fine. We scored a corner room and had nice views of the streets. The area is excellent and not overloaded with tourists. Lots of great restaurants and brassieres nearby. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at your hotel for 4 nights at the end of July. As a family with 2 children, you arranged us 2 double beds on the top floor. That was great for us. We just wished we had a balcony:)Other than that, the location was great, the rooms were cleaned daily, we were very satisfied with the breakfast.We'd like to thank to the lady in the kitchen, who really cared about us and our 3-year-old daughter during our stay. The croissants she cooked were delicious. All the staff was kind and hospitable. If I ever come again to Paris, I will definitely choose here . Thank You

"There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open." Darling European Boutique Hotel that met my standards in Paris. It's actually quite popular with young hip Parisians so it peaked my curiosity. R. Kipling Hotel is where I'd stay in the heart of it all. Upon my arrival in Paris, through the streets of old Saint-Georges, is when I enter the world of Rudyard Kipling. I was greeted in French and Spanish. And English when I offered my passport for check-in. The front desk, very French, with a tad of Clark Gable, yes even with the skinny mustache lol. The Victorian era inspired lobby, with leather sofas and trinkets from around the world reminds one of yesteryear. I usually request a higher floor, but I was offered a second floor room, which I accepted knowing the elevator was tiny and worked at Victorian era speed. Plus, I'd be here for over a week, a longer stay, so getting in and out easily was the plan. I enter... Each room is unique. Great for solo travelers or young couples or old couples in love. That's if you don't mind waking to a portrait of Rudyard Kipling every morning lol. Yes, the theme here is all about the adventures of the iconic European Poet. The bed was high and comfy and warmly made. In my room, I had a large print of two Geisha women at tea. Rudyard was in my bathroom :3. The bathroom is very modern and Euro designed, which means only one side of the shower is covered. All good. This stay met standards for European Boutique stays, however expect minimal amenities, in fact, I had a ton of body lotion & liquid soap lol, but no trace of shampoo or conditioner. I was okay with it because I had several travel bottles from my stays in Italy. I guess I could have simply asked, but I would have assumed they would have noticed during cleaning. It was never replenished! Oh well:3 The toilet was clean and sterile but had a low pressure flush to it, if you know, you know haha. The view was meh, or lack of it from my room, hence not a 5* The small generic coffee maker was a nice touch with both regular and decaf instant options. Oui! I ended up getting my French roast in Montmartre, but still it's just a nice option to have in case of withdrawals :D. The lobby also offers you tea & Joe! In the end, I'd recommend R. Kipling Hotel for those wanting to immerse yourself into a more European experience. For me, I love European Boutiques because the vibe is more authentic versus gigantic American hotels and squares. To each, their own. I really enjoyed my stay, yes, even with Rudyard Kipling's voyeurism at my offered nakedness... ;)

I loved this hotel! My daughters and I stayed here on a girl's trip to Paris. The hotel is located about a block and a half from Moulin Rouge. Lots of restaurants and shops were close by. A creperie was on the block which made for a great late night snack! Overall it was an excellent location. We walked to Galleries de Lafayette, Sacre Cour and Rue de Martyrs. The hotel is in an old Parisian building with lots of character. The hotel lobby was small but warm and welcoming. We arrived early in the day so the room wasn't ready. The front desk person asked if we wanted coffee. Instead of directing us to it in the lobby, he made us each a cup and brought it to us! The lobby has seating. It also had a beautiful Christmas tree. There is an honor system bar with wine, liquor and mixers. The rooms were a nice size. We had a junior suite with a sitting area with pull out sofa and a bedroom. A coffee maker was also in room. Robes were also provided. The hotel decor is reflects the author Rudyard Kipling hence the name! It had motifs and objects from India and China. The hotel is part of the European Happy Culture chain but seemed more like a boutique property. I will be looking for this cabin next time I'm in Europe

Fantastic hotel! I stayed here for a week as it is down the block from our office. The staff was absolutely fantastic. They were very friendly and accommodating. Very cute lobby where they serve wine and snacks every afternoon, and a downstairs cafe for breakfast. The room was very small, but I liked that being from NYC. I had a corner room with windows that opened up and let you see down the streets. Very quaint. Next time I need to come to Paris for work I am going to make sure I come back here.
