Hôtel de L'Horloge

Paris is rather like London inasmuch as hotels tend to be extremely expensive, so it's difficult to find somewhere decent to stay even at £100 or so per night .L'Horloge is tucked away in a quiet side street not too far from Republique, but away from the main tourist areas. We went to see an exhibition at Ateliers des Lumieres which is nearby. Plenty of Metro stations close by as well. The main downside of the hotel is that the rooms are small. The double bed is right against the wall so one person has a bit of clambering to do. Unusually, the rooms are equipped with a fridge, microwave, double hob and crockery and cutlery as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. Worth noting though that they only provide one coffee pod, one tea bag, one lemon tea bag and no milk! Fortunately supermarkets aren't far away! The shower works well, but is small. The bed is comfortable, so if you can put up with the limited space, then it's a decent place to stay if you just need a good sleep and a shower in the morning. They offer a basic breakfast tray for 12Euros, but I would recommend going to one of the many restaurants/bistros nearby where the same thing is onle 8Euros! Alternatively there are plenty of artisan boulangeries within a 5 minute walk. There is much to see in this part of the city and the main tourist areas are only a 15 minute walk, so, overall, yes I would recommend the hotel in this price bracket, but with a few reservations.

Excellent a little tiny hotel in Paris! Very clan and well equipped. Two subway stations near by, bakery right on the corner, staff was friendly and accommodating.

The hotel was great but my room was next to reception and it was too noisy specially with a main door being opened and closed day and night. If you stay just make sure you are away from reception.

From the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, to the perfectly comfortable room with a great show, this hotel was perfect for a near week stay. Located down a quite passage off a main Boulevard, so many things are walkable. Cafes and restaurants over on Oberkampf. Several metro stations in either direction. Oh, and a delightful set of fromagerie, patisierrie, and cafes are less than five minutes walk. Key points are definitely the helpful staff, comfy bed, oh and the amazing shower head (cannot say this enough). We will definitely stay here again.

Pretty decent stay. Tidy n effecient room. Cozy bed. Good for one - would be tight for two. I wanted to stay in a local's area and the hood delivered. Cheap eats n a few craft beers spots nearby. Some parts may be too gritty for orhers. Also, I couldn't sleep in after late nights out as housekeeping and the workers were busy in earshot of my room. And wi-fi was funny - could only have it one device.
