Hôtel Charles in Paris

Great experience, the workers are so kind and we felt incredibly comfortable. You may do a lot of walking/taking the metro to major attractions but the neighborhood is cute and more affordable. Will come back next visit if prices stay similar. Lobby is very comfortable with nice seats. It was very cold but if it’s nice out there is a great garden with seating. I will say one thing is the sink in our room had water pressure of a NYC hose and a sink the size of a salad bowl so it was hard not to splash water everywhere… but in reality.. who really cares?

A solid 3 star hotel in a lovely area. Good value for money

The hotel is ideally located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, within walking distance of two metro stations – Place d'Italie and Corvisart. It's also well-distanced from major thoroughfares, so it's quiet. From Corvisart, Metro line 6 takes you directly to the Eiffel Tower. Several metro lines connect Place d'Italie, offering easy access to any part of Paris.

Furthermore, the hotel is practically in the center of the Butte-aux-Cailles neighborhood, a popular spot for street art enthusiasts. Take a stroll through the streets of the neighborhood during your free time – you'll find plenty to discover. Parc Montsouris is also within walking distance, where you can stroll along the green paths or sit by the pond.

The hotel has a 24-hour reception, which is convenient if you arrive early in the morning or late in the evening. Check-in is from 2:00 PM, and check-out is until 11:00 AM.
Friendly reception staff.
My room had a double bed, a wardrobe, a table, a chair, and a stool. The bathroom had a window—the glass was frosted, so you were reasonably private if needed, but washing up by an open window in Paris on a nice day was a treat. The bathroom had a shower, soap, and mini shower gel.
The room also had a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, and paper cups. A small refrigerator was a big plus. I didn't include breakfast because I knew the shops in the area, so I kept everything I needed in the refrigerator. I could always make myself tea or coffee.
There was a safe, if that was a concern.
There was a mirror above the sink in the bathroom and a full-length mirror on the closet door.
The room was cleaned well.
From my window on the 6th floor, I could see the Montparnasse Tower. If it hadn't been there, I would have had a great view of the Eiffel Tower. But because of Montparnasse, all I could see was the spotlight on the Eiffel Tower. But this didn't spoil my impression of the hotel at all.
The hotel has an elevator, but if you prefer, you can also take the spiral staircase up and down.
Overall, the hotel was a positive experience. I would happily stay here again.

Not a huge room, but excellent by Paris standards, with a standard-sized double bed; minimalist but efficient bathroom. Impeccable cleanliness. Convenient location to two metro lines (6 towards the Eiffel Tower and 7 towards Notre Dame) just a few minutes away on foot. Varied, excellent and plentiful breakfast. Staff always available. Quiet neighborhood, with numerous clubs. I highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for our stay in Paris. The neighborhood is nice and pleasant, there are no food problems, there are several pubs and little places that allow you to have breakfast, lunch, dinner and after dinner without problems. It should be noted that if you are late remember that in the neighborhood the restaurants close early so after 11pm we were unable to eat!. The hotel is easily accessible and well connected by metro, we moved easily by metro to Place d'Italie and Conversaut. If you feel like walking you can get to the Arc de Triomphe in 1h 40 minutes, by metro you can get anywhere in less than 15 minutes. So great location and price. Nice facility, clean and friendly staff. It was not clear why leaving the digital key at reception every day it disappeared and had to be reprogrammed but these are details. Upon our arrival the room door did not open and within a few minutes we were given a new room. Fast and efficient. The room is equipped with what you need, there is a kettle and herbal teas, but nothing is provided in the fridge so buy the water in any market. Too bad about the air vent which pointed right at the bed, the first night we had some intermittent air during the night but nothing serious (just put the hot option and set the temperature low to prevent the system from throwing air continuously). The bed is large and comfortable as are the various pillows offered for various positions. The sockets are European here and if you come from Italy you don't need adapters and there are several sockets available to charge various devices. In our room, it's a shame that there was no lamp next to the bed with an exposed power terminal, a bit dangerous for those with children. Small bathroom (toilet) without window, while sink and shower overlooking the room, probably typical of Paris, the shower is large and comfortable. To be appreciated that the towels were changed every day (very positive). For breakfast we chose to eat around and only one day in the hotel, breakfast 12 euros each. rich. (Croissants, croissants with chocolate, plum cake, baguette, salami, ham, butter, fruit juice, eggs.... There is no bar for cappuccino coffee but the automatic machine that does everything) For the price paid, it is also worth it for a few days we obviously recommend trying the various pastry shops in the area. We recommend this hotel for your stay, even walking beyond the Place d'Italie there are streets with many bars. Eating and drinking will not be a problem.
