Hôtel R. Kipling by Happyculture

Loved the location! This hotel was very charming and close to several metro lines, coffee shops, and MANY food and shopping options. We were not aware that the hotel was under construction, but we had fairly minimal impact due to the construction. The staff were helpful in finding solutions (no hot water for a period of time) and communication (carpet laying occurring for a few hours). Overall an excellent experience!

This was my second time staying at this hotel. For the most part it was a good stay. However, there was construction that had made the Hotel a little messy and quite loud in the mornings. The staff was friendly as well! When we were to check out no one was in the lobby and we could not get out of the hotel- doors were locked so crazy way. we knocked on doors and out uber driver rang the outer door bell and still nothing-was quite annoying. We opened a side door and were able to get out but it still was not ok with me (although it was very early). The hotel is in a great area, around great restaurants, and attractions. Overall, minus the lack of staff at the desk upon checkout, construction, morning noise- also the AC did not work and breakfast was not the best. Higher recommend going down the street to the coffee and book shop for breakfast. Mostly a good and very safe place to stay.

The breakfast was excellent,the Staff was wonderful,Shops was near by that was very convenient, the room needed improvement

The 9th Arrondissement is a perfect location. You really feel like you’re experiencing Parisian life as a local, while still having easy access to the city centre towards and across the Seine. ie. there’s a bus stop right outside the hotel, and Blanche Metro Station is just up the road. It’s a great neighbourhood, with plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance. The hotel itself has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with lovely touches inspired by Kipling’s travels, and it is exceptionally clean. We stayed in a Superior Room, which had top views. As it was summer, more people were out in the evenings, so you can expect some street sound — but for me, that’s part of the charm and the experience of city life! The staff are absolutely wonderful and conversational, and deliver a truly high level of hospitality. A 4-star gem. Book if available. Would definitely stay here again.
