Crowne Plaza Paris Republique, An Ihg Hotel

“Great hotel in a convenient location”

The location is excellent and a great base to explore Paris - outside the hotel is the Republique metro station, which is at the intersection of 5 different Metro lines, making it easy to get around.

The location is excellent and a great base to explore Paris - outside the hotel is the Republique metro station, which is at the intersection of 5 different Metro lines, making it easy to get around. There are plenty of shops in the area, including a small supermarket, a pharmacy and an excellent Boulangerie (Aux Péchés Normands) behind the hotel. The hotel itself is very clean and the room was generously proportioned, with a view out on the street behind the hotel. The staff were particularly friendly, happy to help out with any questions we had, and the hostess even greeted us by name when we arrived down for breakfast. We have no complaints and I would stay here again if (when?) returning to Paris.

“Don't hesitate to stay here - What a great hotel!”

I stayed at the Crown Plaza Republique with a friend for 3 nights in early October. This was our first time in Paris, and finding a decent hotel at a good price was a bit overwhelming. This hotel did not disappoint! The location of the hotel is INCREDIBLE if you want to explore the City. It's located by Republique metro station, which is a major hub for many Metro lines and the entrance to the station is just steps away from the hotel. This meant we could basically get anywhere we wanted in the City so easily. There are countless bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and even a grocery store within just a few blocks of the hotel too. Anything you need is right there. The restaurant on site is very good and the service we received was also wonderful. The hotel itself is surprisingly big and caters to a lot of large groups. It looked like the hotel was recently renovated and everything seemed fresh and modern. Our room was very large for European standards and had two queen beds. The shower area and toilet area were in two entirely separate rooms and all the furniture and carpet in the main room looked new as well. There was an espresso machine, fridge, iron/ironing board, ample closet space, a great desk area and a big beautiful window overlooking the square. Wifi was included and very fast. We really loved our room - we were actually shocked at how nice it was as everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel tends to be a bit busy, so at times the front desk and breakfast area were crowded, but there was never a long wait. Breakfast was included with our stay and it was very good - a great mix of hot and cold foods and wonderful baked goods. Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. The only caution I would give you is to be aware of the fact that Place de la Republique is sometimes the site of protesting in Paris. It didn't happen when we were there, but it is a reality from time to time. Don't let that discourage you from staying at this wonderful hotel though. We would recommend it to anyone - particularly first time travellers who who want a nice hotel, for a good price, in a great location.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights recently. I am an above knee amputee and had informed the hotel of this fact well in advance of our arrival. They said that they had an appropriate room for me. However on entering the room it was obvious that this was not the case. Firstly there was only one hand rail next to the toilet instead of the usual two.The toilet roll was located too far away from the toilet even for an able bodied guest to reach.The mirror was located in the left hand corner of the room which was very poorly lit making shaving almost impossible.Additionally.the soap dispenser was located in an awkward position on the wall making access difficult. Bizarrely.the bed was pushed right up against one of the walls making access impossible for a disabled guest and difficult for a non-disabled. I do not think that these facilities could be described as disabled- friendly and the situation did unfortunately spoil our enjoyment of our stay.
