Hôtel Gabriel Paris

We stayed in 2 rooms that are next door as a family on level 6 (top). It's a tiny clean and white washed hotel. Every thing feels a bit squashed and tucked away... the TV at a strange angle on the counter, little table space.. but it is all clean and all good. The internet in 604 was in and out and there were a few little things missing to make it better.. the aircon is fixed at 20° so if that's too cold you have to sweat it out and turn it off. The steam iron didn't work, earbuds and conditioner missing.. only just the little things. Only the ladies at the reception were great.. the man at night was rude. The breakfast is simple and fine but the crossaints delicious. The location is good.. about 5 min walk from 2 metros Oberkampf and Republique. Great neighbourhood with bars and boulangeries. I would rate this a 3 star hotel, it was good but i wouldn't return it recommend it for the price we paid mid July.

Excellent stay!!!! Staff extremely helpful and kind. Maya at reception was awesome. As were the others. Very important to note there is someone at reception 24/7. The hotel was small but very Parisian and quaint. There is a small smell of sewage going up the stairs, however when I asked reception they stated it has been an ongoing problem they are trying to fix for a long time. So it’s not a fault of theirs and really I only caught a whiff of it once. The rooms were very clean as was the bathroom. Amazing water pressure in shower. It states beds are a double which was actually a queen size in our Canadaian or US standards which was a pleasant surprise. Something nobody mentions in reviews but is very important is the MATTRESS which was very comfortable. Very important to note it doesn’t matter which district you stay in, you’ll have to use transportation no matter what. The first day we called a taxi which cost 38 euro to Eiffel Tower however we were told to call Uber instead and oh my what a difference at 17 euro for the same ride. It was quite easy to use the Uber app and pick ups were quick and easy. I would recommend breakfast included in your stay. It was quite lovely, they had a little bit of everything and it was the same everyday. The best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had. Different options of coffees, latte, espresso, cappuccino etc. Overall, this is a family owned business that takes care of their guests. I will definitely be recommending this hotel.
