Sourire Boutique Hotel Particulier

The hotel was absolutely wonderful! Its location is perfect — just a short walk, about fifteen minutes, from the Eiffel Tower. The interior is beautifully designed and everything was spotlessly clean, with daily housekeeping. The breakfasts prepared by Andrew were truly exceptional — we still miss them to this day! This hotel is exceptional in every way and we would love to come back again.

The warmest welcome in Paris! This is by far my favourite place to stay in the city and I always come back whenever possible. As the name "Au Sourire" implies, we are always received with a warm smile - the most friendly welcome making us feel so much at home. The delicious breakfast served with love is not to be missed. And the beauty of the decor is just breathtaking. Looking forward already to our next visit!

The hotel has a very beautiful interior, just as we wanted, in a Parisian style. The rooms had large windows, high ceilings, and a lovely design. The rooms are air-conditioned. We enjoyed wonderful, delicious breakfasts with fresh pastries every morning. We will definitely come back to you.

Great stay, the hosts are welcoming, rooms are huge for 3 pax. Great breakfast and really liked the rooftop terrace. Everyone agreed that we would come here again if we visited paris in the future.

What a lovely little gem in a beautiful Paris neighborhood. The hotel has a warm, welcoming feel, and what really sets it apart is that it’s family-run. You can tell right away how much care goes into making guests feel at home. A big thank you to Baptiste and Ilham, who were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. They made everything easy and comfortable, which really made a difference. For anyone planning to visit, I’d recommend having breakfast on the terrace upstairs. It’s a peaceful spot and a great way to start the day. Definitely one of my favorite moments from the trip. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Paris.

I had a beautiful stay in this guesthouse in the 16th. The building is stunning and full of character — a really unique place to stay in Paris. The area was also a highlight: quiet, charming, and well-connected. From the moment I arrived, the hosts were warm and welcoming, even bringing me a glass of my favourite wine. The bed was incredibly comfortable — genuinely the best I’ve ever slept in away from home. Even though I don’t usually eat breakfast early, the host had everything thoughtfully prepared, which I really appreciated. A great experience all around. Highly recommend, I will visit again and next time for longer!

Absolutely appalling – avoid at all costs. This was the worst “hotel” experience I’ve ever had. For €260 a night, I expected a clean, comfortable stay. What I got instead was a filthy room, curtains that looked like they hadn’t been washed in years, and no heating—despite it being 14°C in Paris. When I asked, I was told they had “turned it off for summer.” The building is old, the windows are paper-thin, and the cold and street noise poured in all night. The response from the hosts was even worse. They were rude, aggressive, and made no effort to help. When I asked for a solution, they handed me a disgusting used blanket with visible stains. There weren’t even any coffee capsules in the room—I had to go ask the kitchen. A small detail, but emblematic of the general negligence and cost-cutting. It’s clear the owners are trying to extract as much money as possible from guests while providing the bare minimum in return. This hotel is a scam. It should be investigated, if not shut down. There is no excuse for charging luxury prices for what is essentially a dirty, hostile guesthouse. Avoid at all costs. Edit: The woman replying to this message is not telling the truth. I am a young pretty solo female traveler who just wanted a safe and warm hotel. Instead I was met with aggression and disrespect. The notion that I would stain a blanket I needed because I was cold is preposterous. The building is old and was not climatized - she simply said that she won’t turn on the heating in summer (even when it’s 14 degrees). Everything else she said is untrue - I had to ask the kitchen for coffee, and her going to the police while she mistreated me is a threat and a lie. Mastercard refunded me for this. Just read all the other negative reviews here.

Appalling experience with a dirty, dark and cold room and extremely unhelpful and hostile hosts. As a young woman traveling alone, I kindly asked the hosts if they could turn on the heating, as it was only 14 degrees outside and the building is old with windows that are not cold nor soundproof. The hosts got aggressive and refused to turn on the heating and gave me a dirty, very stained and obviously used blanket instead. There were stains on multiple surfaces in the room, an obvious sewage smell and no coffee capsules were present in the room. This guesthouse charges luxury hotel prices but offers low rate amenities. To avoidd at all costs for solo travelers, couples or families.
