Simon's Boutique Hotel

Such a surprisingly great experience. Staff was so pleasant

The best part of the hotel was that air conditioning that worked marvelously in the heat wave of heat waves. That alone was enough to turn a blind eye to all the other aspects anyone would typically query. The room was clean. Staff at check in, amazing! Supermarket, bus and metro all nearby, restaurants but the restaurants are all of similar ilk despite how numerous they are. There is a design issue with the hotel which impacts their rating/reviews e.g. black carpet typically shows every spec of lint which can make a place look like it's not been cleaned well they should have stuck with tiles for a communal areas, brown carpet never ages well, the chosen fixtures are not meant for hotel use as they won't last repeated use without needing constant repairs and you get one flat pillow in a single room. One or two things didn't work, nothing air conditioned room couldn't fix mentally. Rooms are typical Parisian size, close to Gate du Nord and l'est. The outside needs TLC, and the neighborhood is questionable and this from a South Londoner (this area is NOT the same as South London). There are groups of males at night on the road but no harm was done, I assumed it's a religous/cultural thing.

Good Hotel, good service & location. Very friendly staff. Great breakfast with several options. The King size room was great especially on the E level floor. Merci Nora & team. The hotel is in a diverse community of Paris 18 surrounded by great restaurants & local spots . Great Vietnamese, Indian, African restaurants & Aux Bonne Grill Paris. Several boulangeries with in walking distance & fresh produce as well as bar around he hotel. Nord Nord was not that bad. Will recommend Aux Bonne Grill for fresh grill meal. Also the hotel is with in walking distance to buses, Gare de Nord & green line. Will definitely book it again. See you next time!

We were very pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Excellent, polite, friendly staff. Room was lovely clean, great aircon,spacious and very quiet. Breakfast was nice for what we needed. Check out was 11am -we were able to leave our luggage in secure room so didn’t have to lug them around on our final day. Would def stay here again if staying in Paris.
