Hôtel Exquis By Elegancia

“Tiny room, but great location and excellent breakfast”

I'll get the main negative out of the way first - the room was tiny. Staying as a group of two with twin beds the room really was tight, and the room would be better suited to solo travellers. If you need lots of space, don't book this hotel! In fairness, the room sizes are clearly advertised on bo… more

I'll get the main negative out of the way first - the room was tiny. Staying as a group of two with twin beds the room really was tight, and the room would be better suited to solo travellers. If you need lots of space, don't book this hotel! In fairness, the room sizes are clearly advertised on booking websites, so I can't really criticise the hotel for this, but just be aware. The other thing is the lift is very small as well, barely big enough for two people and luggage. But at least there is a lift. The hotel has nice and unique designs, quite funky and Parisian throughout. The beds are firm, but as I found them comfortable and slept well. Whilst the breakfast doesn't promise much from the hotel website, we thought the quality of items on offer was exceptional, in particular the eggs which were absolutely delicious. The air conditioning worked very well and cooled the room quickly. There was no view of note from our room, don't expect to see the Eiffel Tower from this hotel (not a surprise as the hotel is on the other side of the city...). The staff were polite and efficient. For Paris, the hotel rate was reasonable especially with the breakfast added on. I think the biggest positive is the location. It's not in a 'touristy' area, but instead the neighbourhood offers a really local and buzzy vibe, especially in the evenings with lots of excellent restaurants and wine bars within 5 minutes' walk (not to mention a Michelin star restaurant opposite the hotel). It's a pleasant 20 minute walk to the Bastille/Marais areas, and the nearest metro is 5 minutes away, or alternatively there's a frequent bus that takes you to Hotel de Ville in the city centre. You won't need to go anywhere else in Paris to eat if you stay in the 11th arrondissement. There aren't really any tourist attractions nearby, but this is a really great place to stay for a more local experience in my view.

“Excellent Value and Location in Paris”

Cute hotel in the 11th Arrondissement of Paris. Room was small - but it was clean and worked perfectly for me as a solo traveler. Excellent location, a short walk to several metros or to the Gare De Lyon. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Paris.

“Fun and functional decor”

This hotel has typical Paris-sized rooms, but what makes these rooms better than most is the fun and cleaver decor. I've never seen as much storage space in this size room. Also a lot of electricity outlets, different kinds of lighting (loved the bathroom/shower lights). The staff is very nice an… more

Also a lot of electricity outlets, different kinds of lighting (loved the bathroom/shower lights). The staff is very nice and helpful, the hotel location in a perfect lively neighborhood. Breakfast also good.

“Ask for room with window that can be opened”

First impression of this hotel is good. Design is cool and unique with a qualitative touch. But some rooms have no window and a shower in the middle of your room (no real bathroom) that is where things get uncomfortable. So make sure to ask room with a window that can be opened! Rooms are also craz… more

Rooms are also crazy small even by paris standards. Staff is nice!
