Hotel des Arts Montmartre, Paris

Exceptional

A great find in a...

Liked: 1. Location - Perfect. Close to Abbesses and Blanche Metro, and very easy to get to the hotel from Charles de Gaulle Aeroport . Very easy to travel quickly around the city using the Metro. The hotel is a quiet haven on a quiet street, and the surrounding area still has a relaxed, peaceful and safe character with busy bars, cafes and speciality shops - yet the hotel is within close walking distance to busier areas including the Moulin Rouge. Right in the centre of the Monmartre area and easy to stroll around the neighbourhood and the nearby Sacre Couer. It is a great base for a sightsee-ing trip with easy access to all of Paris, but in a slightly laid-back area with its own character and vibe.2. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and made me feel at home straight away. This is a small family type' hotel and it is evident that the owners and their staff take pleasure in their guests enjoying their stay. The decoration is Boutique Hotel style - a little quirky but fun and very in-keeping with the Montmartre area. The owner helped me on the first evening with enquiries about the cinema and one of the night managers gave me good reviews for local restaurants.3. I can recommend the breakfast. There is a great choice of breakfast food and plenty of it. The breakfast area is a comfortable area to spend time and I felt quite at home and comfortable as solo traveller.4. The hotel rooms, bed linen, bathroom areas and the common areas are well-decorated and spotlessly clean. My room was thoroughly cleaned every day.5.The reception area feels very welcoming and the dining area next to it is open during the afternoons for complimentary coffee, drinks and snacks. Although I didn't drink alcohol, I think that there is an 'honesty bar' for guests.
Disliked: If I was to be really fussy - I'd say that the room I had was compact sized - but very well laid out, beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished with everything that I need. The rooms are no smaller than many of the hotels that I've stayed at in European cities - and the room size certainly didn't the quality of my stay here.

Superb
