Hotel Taylor

I likes all of the little details of the property like coffee, robes, cucumber water, luggage storage, the elevator & friendly staff. However, if you are someone who enjoys naps or sleeping in late in the morning then this place is not for you because the back rooms (ours) back up to a school’s playground for young kids and it was very annoying to hear the kids screaming as they played throughout the day. I woke up to screaming kids at 9:30am so just be aware if this doesn’t work for you.

This hotel is a hidden gem on a very small street just off the busier bigger streets of the 3rd Arr in Paris. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it. The rooms was super cute - we got the Privilege and found it just big enough for two of us so long as one of us unpacked and used the closet. We knew small rooms were to be expected in Paris, so this wasn't a surprise. They provided free water, tea, cola, espresso and juice in the mini bar. It's super close to some major metro stations, making getting around the city very easy. We also walked to Le Marias and some other nice areas - so it's in a great location. There's a small elevator that helps with getting luggage up. On the weekend and during holiday it was very quiet. Only things we weren't fond of: there's absolutely no way to keep the water from the shower from totally soaking the bathroom floor and the steam fills the entire room when you shower, since there's no ventillation, but it doesn't affect the quality of stay. Our room was quiet apart from when the school outside the window had recess and kids were playing very loud and woke us up (weekdays only, I assume). And of course this isn't the hotel's fault but the small side of the street you exit to get to Republique station smells like a toilet - but just hold your breathe for about 30 seconds and you'll be fine. It's Paris, after all. Definitely would stay again and would recommend it.
