Austin's Arts Et Metiers Hotel

An excellent 3-star hotel in a perfect location, with a friendly and professional staff, clean, atmospheric, quiet. Surrounded by many fine cafes and restaurants, and also for those who love Asian food, a great selection of the Chinese, Korean and Japanese restaurants. The only thing still to be improved it is the wi-fi since it is sometimes unstable in the room.

Nice hotel 5 minutes walk from Place de la Republique. Definitely overpriced for its quality. Substantially, you pay for the location. Upon checkout, instead of calling a taxi cab, the concierge called a random dude without a license. So much for customer safety

Location superlative. Great selection of eateries on the doorstep, Metro ditto, many main attractions walking distance. Room clean, comfortable, nice lighting, bathroom up to date with good pressure, lots of hot water. Big firm comfy bed. Staff helpful and pleasant.

Dreadful, to be avoided. Overrated and unpleasant atmosphere. Not a three star hotel more like a hostel. Poor breakfasts in a dowdy cellar. Rooms small and uncomfortable. Location OK but not restful.

The first contact is the staff and they were excellent. The hotel is very well located with restaurants close by. The breakfast I must say was better than most top hotels, top marks for this I would very happily stay here again. All said very good value.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in early June 2022. There was something unpleasantly mean-spirited about it, from the sparse and unwelcoming lobby, the cramped (and noisy) bedroom and bathroom to the soulless, windowless basement breakfast room. It claims to be a three star establishment but two stars would be more realistic. It’s expensive for what it is and there is more congenial and cheaper accommodation elsewhere, even in Paris. We had to return home earlier than planned as my wife was feeling unwell; staying in the hotel would not have helped her recovery, in fact quite the opposite. For complicated reasons, this trip was intended to be a treat that we wouldn't be able to manage again for a long time and instead it was miserable. Our advice: avoid this hotel, you can do better!
