It's difficult booking a hotel in Paris, especially for 6 nights- we wanted a comfortable, safe neighborhood away from the tourists, that won't break the bank (my girlfriend and I were coming from Brussel). The hotel and common areas were amazing. Upon arrival, you feel as though you entered into a 1970's movie set while being warmly greeted by the front desk. There were paid upgrades available and the staff went out of their way to show the differences between our booked room and the available upgrade- we chose to upgrade- the single rooms can be a bit tight. Our room was VERY spacious (for a Parisian hotel standard), quiet, clean with a separate changing/office area, LARGE bathroom and its own private deck at the back of the building- we felt like true Parisians. There is a small gym with its own shower, treadmill, row machine and a few dumbbells located basement- nothing too extreme. We opted out of the breakfast buffet as we wanted to experience Parisian breakfasts croissants and coffee around the corner. The breakfast spread seemed standard: coffee, variety of bread, cereal and warm food like sausages, bacon and eggs. Location: on the cusp of Le Marais, you are 10 minute walk from a wide range of restaurants and cafes on Rue Montrogrueil- where we believe all the locals visit. Unfortunately, we felt a bit unsafe taking the train at night time, as the Reamur Sebastopol train was under construction leaving us to use the Strasbourg Saint Denis station. The Staff: super attentive and explained to us the neighborhood, where to go and the perks of staying at an Astotel- you are able to visit any of the 16 location to: use their facilities and freshen up, the bathroom or partake in their daily happy hour. Nothing more I could ask for just continue giving guest the great service that you provide.
