Lovely, quiet hotel with really kind and helpful staff. Great for a tourist only using the hotel to sleep and shower before going out for the day - very well connected travel wise and close to the Seine. Had a late flight when leaving and the staff were able to keep my suitcase until the evening so I didn’t have to worry about any of those ones for hire in the city.

Nice for a solo traveler
Great for a solo traveler. Everything is very practical and tidy. Location is central and right next to République and Temple metro stops. One thing is you have to leave the key at the reception every time you step out, but it's a good way to get to know the friendly staff.

Great value for low frills
If you're stuck in Paris for any reason and looking for a comfortable, charming spot to lay low, this is definitely a decent choice. Located a stone's throw from Place de la Republique, the hotel is close to multiple metro lines and is located in an area with plenty to do. While the hotel itself may be a little outdated in its furnishings, the building still has its charm, and the staff is extremely pleasant. I always came back to a clean room, and there was plenty of space for my things. All in all, a good stay.

Cute place.
Perfect for a one-night stay. My brother and I got a twin room, and the twin beds are teeny, but again, it was a one night stay. It's old-fashioned but very clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Great location near the Place de la République, the Marais, Canal St. Martin, etc.

Not as expected
The best asset of this hotel is it's people! Hotel is very run down . Electric outlets are ripped out of walls; tiles coming off the bathtub; sink was broken; carpet is horribly old and we got TV working only once when one of hotel employees turned it on for us and it stayed all day on (next day we could't turn it on again). Also, we had trouble sleeping with all the noise from outside.Owners need to fix hotel up!!!! Your employees are great at trying to help customers, but condition of the hotel is "sorry". Will not stay there again.

Reception was good, room safe was locked and they didn't get it open while we were there, so had to check our things at the front desk. Nice bathroom.

was fine
No ceiling fan-it was on a stand. Could not figure out the TV. ( but I did not ask for help) Very busy area-but my room was quiet. 2 minute walk to the Metro Wifi was a bit spotty-but overall good Staff were pleasant, and I could see they were making an effort with the other guests

A Central Gem for a Good Price
The hotel is very close to the Place de la Republique metro station, which is a hub for many metro lines so it's very easy to get around the city. There are plenty of places around to eat and drink. The room was small but perfectly good enough for a long weekend stay with wardrobe, desk and bedside tables. The shower cubicle in the bathroom is a bit tight to get in and out of but the shower itself is very good. Everywhere is spotless. There is always someone on Reception if you need anything. There is a lift.

Great value. Would definitely recommend!
The building is old but that didn’t matter. The rooms were neat, clean, spacious, and well ventilated. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was good. Location of the hotel was perfect. Less than a minute walk to the subway station.

Paris in october is always lovely
Hotel Meslay République is consistent with what one expects of a 3 star hotel in Paris. Its location is extremely convenient with with many buses & 5 metro lines at nearby Republique. Convenient shopping, (not great) restaurants & cafes, good covered markets & nearby museums etc. Hotel rooms are small & basic—not comfortable for long stays—but clean & functional. Service is very good & the staff are friendly. I would recommend the hotel for those who will be busy in the centre of Paris for a short stay.

Hotel Meslay Republique - Paris
The location was great and the people at the reception desk were very helpful and friendly. The room itself was a little bit tired. The TV and fridge did not work. It was also very hot during our stay so we had to sleep with the window open and the fan on which reduced privacy and introduced a lot of traffic noise as there was no air conditioning.

Great value for money in good location.
I stayed here for a Thursday night while seeing Paris solo on way to meet friends the next day. It is a simple standard hotel. For the money spent I was pleased. The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The rooms may be a bit dated, but they were clean and the bed was comfy. Staff were helpful. And the location was walking distance from so much and the metro. I'd hapily stay here again, was great value for money. Nice and quiet too.

Cheap and cheerful
It was better than expected, given the reviews I'd read. The staff were helpful, friendly and interesting- ended up getting a lecture on the development of European languages from the front desk guy, he was printing me out directions and maps every time I asked him a question about anything. The rooms were fine. We had a twin and a double room, it was as expected. Nothing special. Couldn't figure out how to get the TV to work, but I bet if I asked the front desk guy, he'd have helped... probably would have printed out instructions for me! Didn't have breakfast there, as there's a bunch of places right outside the door- everything from a proper french bakery across the street (which serves take out coffee) to a McDonald's and Burger King right around the corner.

very disapointing hotel, especially for its price.
very disapointing hotel, especially for its price tag! it might look like an authentic Parisian hotel from the outside but the inside dates as far back as the middle ages! although the staff is very nice and helpful, everything else is borderline a disaster! the room are very old!! furniture, bathroom, shower, tables, etc. The hot water takes a minimum of 30 min to work (and it barely does). TV is a 10 inch screen!

Close to restaurants, shopping, very busy love to the area, and it was very safe. There was also a McDonald's close, which we ate breakfast every morning for six euros, versus 40. The hotel staff were very helpful and fluent in English which meant a lot.

Friends Reunion in Paris
This hotel was very convenient to transportation to get around the city. It was the convenience that made me happy with our stay. However, the beds were extremely uncomfortable, the elevator didn't work when we were there and had to climb 6 flights of stairs with luggage and daily, and you could hear everything outside the window. Not a quiet neighborhood. The staff was extremely friendly though. Would stay here again.

Excellent hotel in a good location
The hotel is located near a Metro Station that has multiple lines, so it very handy for getting around Paris. It was a hotel that I didn't arrive with high expectations, but was very impressed with what we had. For what it was and what we paid it was exception value for money. We made a boo boo with the booking and instead of kicking us out they did everything to accommodate us in our same room for the extra day.

The hotel is in a lively but friendly part of town, there's loads of cafe's, restaurants & bars around the area also plenty of shops too. The local metro has great connections too. The hotel itself is pleasant the room was a little outdated and plain but we were out all day & just slept in the room which didn't really bother us as the bed was comfy enough so we got a great nights sleep. The staff on reception were always around to help and provide information. Would definitely stay there again.

Choose somewhere else if you plan to stay long
It was just OK. It is in need of updating: new beds, curtains, carpet...etc. It's decor is from the 70's and the bed was hideously uncomfortable. We ordered a room with two beds and only got one. It is Paris, but this hotel was not comfortable at all~
