Walled Off Hotel Paris

This place has the bones to be exceptional, but it falls badly short of its potential. The location is excellent, easy to find from Gare du Nord and with plenty of bars, shops and cafes nearby. It's in a bustling and fun part of town. Each wonderful member of staff I encountered were polite, friendly, patient and kind - they are a credit to the hotel. They have a lift too, which is very useful. My booking was for a shared toilet on the same floor, and that was not a problem - it was cleaned regularly, and always available when I needed it. Where the hotel fails is in its rooms. For the price charged, and the 'Banksy' leaning theme, I expected more. The first 4th-floor room I was assigned was dirty, worn, threadbare, stained, and there was mould all over the shower room. I tested the door lock and it actually didn't work so they had to move me to another room. This room was slightly cleaner but the tiny shower room was awkward and cramped to use. The shower head itself was on a loose inflexible fixing which meant the water was directed to the wall unless you physically took the head off and held it over yourself. All the while, your body is touching some part of the tiles, the controls, and the shower curtain because the shower cubicle felt designed for small children! The water temperature varied wildly with bursts of scorching hot and freezing cold. My shower curtain rail was held up with a bit of string. The room was very cold despite me trying to fiddle with the radiator using the instructions given, and I had to sleep under piles of my clothing. There were no coffee/tea making facilities, and only one small space to hang anything. No full length mirror, and the tv remote was sticky. The bed however, was clean and comfortable with a good mattress. My window opened out to the street below but was well soundproofed so I didn't notice much noise. But the walls between rooms are paper thin and I could hear EVERYTHING. It's such a shame that the place isn't maintained well, and hasn't been lifted up just a few notches in terms of quality and comfort because they have a great core staff team and a great location. It could be so much more!

Would recommend this hotel. Good value for the money. Location is great being close to night life and transportation. The shared shower and bathroom was clean, as was the room itself. For a solo female traveller the area felt safe enough to walk around in.

Stayed at this quirky hotel loved it staff where very friendly despite my rubbish attempt at speaking French LOL. Bansky inspired hotel with amusing artwork. Good breakfast menu sets you up for the day Would return 👍🏾

The hotel has some rooms that are linked to the artist Banksy. Visitors of the next door museum therefore also walk in the hotel itself which is not safe and disturbing during the day. The Banksy concept is a nice touch but for the rest the rooms are simple and small. The double beds were a bit tiny (as was the room in total). Sufficient possibilities to store your clothes but little space beyond that. We also lacked aircon but that weekend it was over 35 degrees so extreme. But staff left open the window and the curtains so the room heated up a lot during the day. Staff was very nice and attentive. The location was in a relatively quiet street with a pedestrian street with several bars and restaurant around the corner. Located close to several subway and bus stops so good for travelling around in Paris. Also relatively close-by are Gare du Nord and Gare d'Est, with Saint Lazare just over 20 minutes walking. Still, we felt that given the size of the room and the amenities offered in it, it was a bit overprized for just a week in June.

Hotel très bien placé pour une ballade à Paris. Un peu cheap pour les petits plus mais un accueil jeune et sympathique. Bon pour le calme, rue du faubourg Montmartre oublié. Fêtes jusqu'à 3 heures du mat. L’hôtel n'y ai pour rien sauf qu'il devrais tout de même vérifié les fermetures double vitrage qui pour notre chambre fermait mal. Et mes sans doute une érreur ponctuelle des personnes rentrant dans notre chambres à 5 heures du matin. Pour 121 euros au centre de Paris très honorable. Pourrait faire mieux à peu de frais.

Super petit hôtel expo au cœur de Paris. Décoré selon l’art de Banksy, il est relié à l’exposition « The World of Banksy » et est lui-même visitable. Les chambres sont propres, décorées elles-aussi selon l’artiste. Tout est parfait hormis l’insonorisation qui est très faible. Prévoir bouchons d’oreilles car, même si la rue est calme, on entend les gens dans les parties communes et les chambres voisines. Les tarifs sont très corrects.
