Gardette Park Hotel

Absolutely superb location and the rooms were incredibly clean. The view I had over the park was magnificent. Although the rooms were small, every thing you needed was there. They were also really lovely and kind to my dog Luca. Especially loved the woman at reception who welcomed me, she was very friendly and accommodated my terrible French. This will be my place to stay every time I visit Paris!!

While the room is not huge, it is definitely the biggest that I’ve had in my trips to Paris. There were two of us in the room and we’ve only travelled with weekend bags so we had enough space for everything. I would guess that with larger luggage or in winter months when you need to have bulkier clothes the space might be a bit more crammed, but again, it was miles better than any other room I’ve experienced in the city for the comparable price. The location is nice with several metro stations within a walking distance. Right by the hotel there is a small park and combined with a free coffee machine in the lobby it made for a pleasant spot to spend some time after the breakfast. There is also a coffehouse and a couple of cafes and bars near the hotel. The rooms face two sides of the building and some of the rooms get the view of the park while other look directly into the neighbouring building across the street. I’ve got the latter option but nonetheless the view is quite pleasing. The breakfast itself was nice but rather limited in options: mostly an assortment of cold cuts and cheese, breads and pancakes, cereals with a couple of hot options. Despite the limited assortment, the quality of food was nice and it’s easy to make a breakfast that would suit to different preferences. The bathroom in my room had a window as big as the main room and overall was quite spacious, although the way the shower, toilet and sink were located was a bit awkward, the toilet was crammed between the wall and the shower cabin making it a pretty tight fit. This might be especially uncomfortable for some people with mobility issues. I did not personally travel with a pet, but the hotel is pet friendly since I’ve seen people staying with their (small-ish) dog, which is a plus for some people.

Overall was ok.

Fantastic location: neighborhood park across the street, close to metro station. Truly wonderful, professional and dedicated staff. Neat little room on the 5th floor has a nice little terrace to catch the springtime sun. Property as a whole and the room are in very good shape indeed - it’s clear that they stay on top of their maintenance.

The staff was exceptionally friendly, the room comfortable and clean. Really enjoyed staying there. In the morning I woke up to the smell of freshly made croissants.
