13th Arrondissement, Paris Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Quiet , Romantic Hotel with lovely garden. Well worth it!

Stayed on the top floor terrace was very nice Room was very nice I would definitely recommend this hotel only thing is room a little on the small side but other than that everything was great

Hadn't stayed at this 3 star before but was glad I did, more like a 4 star in many ways. The day manager was exceptional. Local knowledge and helpfulness was much more than expected. My room was upgraded when I told them a friend would join me for one night. Housekeeping and breakfast were especially good. It includes a lift and a downstairs sitting area. Loved the handy location and local streets filled with colourful local vendors.

We just got back from a week's stay in Paris at la Demeure and I cannot say enough nice things about it. The hotel is in the 13th arr. and there are numerous grocery stores, patisseries and restaurants in the area. The metro line is only about a 10 minute walk away and from there, you can get to every area of Paris. Very convenient! The hotel is very nicely kept, and the front staff was very helpful and accommodating. The check in time is 2 p.m., so we left our luggage and went out for a bit until it was time to check in. Much like a lot of the rooms in Europe, it was somewhat small, but you're really not going to be there all that much, are you? I loved the fact that the hotel provides you with two pillows to sleep with and there was a very comfortable comforter on the bed, not one of those petri dishes that most hotels provide you with. The bathroom was great, not very big, but the shower was wonderful with great water pressure. Every time we came into the hotel, we were greeted by very friendly front desk staff.

I would want to stay here next time I am in Paris. So clean.

Great location, very close to tube station with connection to main atractions and direct from Gare du Nord train station. Breakfast food very good quality, staff very friendly and helpful, specially Derya and the lovely lady who help during breakfast.

This hotel is well located and reasonably priced (for Paris). It is a short cab ride or long walk from Monparnasse train station, and some of the major sights (the Pantheon, Notre Dame etc.) are within walking distance. There is a handy RER station (goes to Gard du Nord and CDG airport) nearby. As others have reported the rooms are tiny, and ours on an upper (5th) floor was very warm with no A/C or fans. The street below was noisy with the window open. We passed on the hotel's 7 euro continental breakfast and took our petit dejeuner at a local brasserie (Lilou) a few steps away (10 euros for an omelette, bread and croissants, juice, and delicious coffee). There are a few, but not a lot, of restaurants in the immediate area for other meals. We enjoyed dinner at the Langedoc, a short block away.

Clean and cosy Friendly staff Close to station Close to restruants

We recently stayed at this hotel near metro station Place d'Italie February 12-14, 2014 and it was a great experience. Staying at this hotel added to our positive first visit to Paris. The room and hotel had a homey feeling, which we looked forward to coming back to after a long tried day exploring the city. I chose this hotel after researching many hotels in Paris. My search criteria included complimentary breakfast, wifi, non-smoking, close to a metro station and a certain budget. • Close to metro station-Steps away from the metro station Place d'Italie, which services lines 5, 6, 7 directly, linking you to Eifel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and The Louvre etc. • Nice & Clean rooms-We stayed in a room with 3 single beds. Contrary to what I had read about Paris hotel, this was a spacious room. We were able to easily accommodate 4 large suitcases and 3 small suitcases in the room. The front desk helped us to store the remaining luggage in the store room. • Complimentary Breakfast-Excellent breakfast including cereal, croissants, baguette, bread, cheese, meat slices, varieties of jams, fresh fruit, juice, hot chocolate, milk and many choices in coffee and tea. My teenage daughter and niece especially loved the breakfast. • Friendly bilingual staff– We arrived in the morning and staff happily assisted in storing our luggage while we went out exploring the city and came back to a nice cozy room. The front desk personnel also happily helped to arrange a larger taxi

After I booked this hotel I read bad reviews and got so nervous I tried to find somewhere else, but I found it excellent value. I'm not sure what some people expect for such good rates in Paris! Room was clean and comfortable, including bed, and bathroom which was quite big. Reception staff really friendly and made me feel safe and welcome. Bought my breakfast from the boulangerie/patisserie at the end of the street. Some reviews made me a bit nervous about travelling back to the hotel on my own at night but I felt very safe, seems like a nice neighbourhood with plenty of people still around at night, and hotel very close to Metro station. Better than other hotels I have stayed in in Paris, and for lower rates. A good find, I would definitely go back.

Nice hotel in such value price !! Great location every amenities around the corner !!

The hotel provided us with comfort, cleanliness and easy access to transport - perfect

I am very happy to stay in this hotel

We enjoyed a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and up to date. The breakfast was delicious and had a variety of foods to choose from. The best part about this hotel was the location. It was about a two minute walk from the metro station which was convenient and made it easy for us to travel throughout the city. I would definitely go back to the Residence Richemont if I were to visit Paris again.
