La Maison du Visiteur

I booked this hotel for proximity to the Arthur Ashe Sport Centre. It was perfect to walk there. The room was clean, tidy and I had everything I needed….except quiet. My room was located next to the reception so I heard all the comings and going’s which actually wasnt too bad. But it was also next to the store room and as the staff used it at all hours, the door banged shut. Add to this, a strange electrical noise in my room: it sounded like a door buzzer and came from near the air con. It sounded off several times an hour at all times. I raised it with the staff who said it was an issue with all the rooms and was something to do with electrical overload. Anyway, I had little quiet enjoyment and interrupted sleep. Not great.

We were only staying in Paris for a night and if that is your plan then this hotel will be fine. Overall, the beds were comfortable (albeit slightly too soft for our liking) and we slept well. The triple room we were given was more like a double which they had squeezed a third bed into, so I would book two rooms if there is three of you. Apart from that, no other issues - central-ish location for Montmartre (about a 10/15 minute walk to main Montmartre), and very close to the Metro and Gare du Nord station so a good spot to visit other part of the city / region if you want to stay here for longer.
