Hôtel National Des Arts et Métiers

Lovely stylish looking hotel, general black and white theme, huge bed which was comfortable, pillows were not. Hotel is in a great location, great bars and restaurants. So close to le Marais, Kiliwatch. The hotel bar at night on the Friday had great house music, was dark and cosy. It was a vibe. Staff were really nice, especially the bar guys. 10 min taxi to gare du nord.

Landing at this hotel was a mistake when I thought I had booked Dame des Arts on the Left Bank. Although Des Arts and Metiers refused to cancel the week, as I booked nonrefundable through Booking which firstly irritated me since this was my honeymoon, it turned out to be a god send. Extremely quiet, I booked the studio which was extremely huge and spacious with separate sitting area large bathroom and toilet room for Paris considered a small apt. Extremely comfortable in one of the trendiest real Parisian neighborhoods, we would wake up and have the very best included breakfast of our trips which deserves it own great review ( lovely employees extremely considerate) deliciousness and huge array of choice. Amazing coffee found across the street if you needed a "real" coffee.

Love this hotel, it is small but very lively and beautifully decorated. There is a nice bar and a restaurant downstairs so it’s very dynamic. The location is not central but if you are using Eurostar it’s very convenient as only 10 minutes away by tube or 20 minutes walk. Close to Pompidou, Marais and Notre Dame. Rooms are small but comfortable with modern decoration and fairly new and clean. Breakfast is fresh and beautifully displayed, so it doesn’t feel like a buffet. Staff is attentive and friendly.

Everything was great, really good place, great breakfast, top location and very pretty and clean. We liked everything, the TV was big and good, the bed as well.

I am SO happy we stayed here! The experience here felt very authentic. Reception was gracious and ensured our check-in was effortless. My fiance and I particularly enjoyed taking in the cool vibe of the lobby lounge, and the food at the restaurant was fantastic. We are discerning with food and the restaurant totally exceeded our expectations. We appreciated how the hotel seemed to be a destination for actual Parisians and it was fun to be there and people watch. The vibe of the hotel made us feel like we were living in Paris if that makes sense. The bar is a lit scene in the evening! The room itself was great - the beds were fabulously comfortable, we upgraded to the balcony option upon booking and it was very worth it, as we bought cheese and fruit from the local epicerie and had it there with gorgeous views of church the across from the hotel. Air conditioning was dece, and the bathrooms were a vibe. I will certainly be coming back to stay during our next trip to Paris. If a friend asked me, I would highly recommend staying here! 10/10
