Chouette Hotel (Paris, France)

Finding a quality budget hotel in Paris is like finding the holy grail, and most guests seem to think that Chouette Hotel achieves this. Decent-sized rooms and extras like free Wi-Fi help to make a stay at this hotel money well-spent.

Though you’ll be staying outside the centre of Paris, the nearby metro station means that the main attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees are within easy reach. Plus, guests enjoy the convenience of the local amenities.

Staff at the front desk speak fluent English as well as French, and guests say that they are very helpful in providing information about the city, in addition to ensuring that your stay is as comfortable as possible.

Some guests have reported that noise from the street, particularly on market days, can cause disturbance. This is on the front side of the hotel, so perhaps try to secure a room at the back if you need total peace and quiet.

While some guests praise the quality and value of the breakfast, others think that it isn’t worth the money. If you opt-in, it’s worth getting there early, as guests warn that if you get there late, there may only be slim pickings.

The hotel doesn’t provide tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms, so if you really can’t cope without an early morning cuppa, consider packing a travel kettle.
