Loved the uniqueness of the place and the fact we had a balcony for our room. Room wasn't big but perfectly comfortable. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was nice to have as well. The hotel location was great, walkable to sites and metro stations.Would recommend.

The staff were lovely and friendly, really nice building and area, in the thick of Pigalle without being super touristy. Had a great atmosphere. The cold water carafes were a nice touch. The rooms were small as some other reviews said but for a base for exploring, it couldnt be better.

Breakfast was lovely and lots of really nice restaurants within walking distance. Tube station only a couple of minutes walk away so really easy to get to CDG Airport without taxi. Similar to all Paris hotels, the room was small but clean and nicely decorated and coffee, water and snacks were available for free all day. The down side of being in a busy area with nice pubs and eateries was the noise at night with chattering and traffic noise heard into the early hours but it didn’t stop me sleeping.

Charming hotel, a little vintage but clean and comfortable! Perfect for ducking into after a day in Paris. The double room was intimate so definitely best for couples or close friends. The area has sooo much good food and wine around it, it’s perfectly located a few streets a ways from really touristy things (like moulin rouge and a few more from montmartre) so it felt like a much better mix of tourists and locals. Super close to a metro line too so easy to get to gare du nord and CDG airport! Loved it

Hotel staff were all pleasant. The metro and the bus just steps away! Didn’t get a chance to have breakfast. TV didn’t work. Room was perfect for me since I was by myself but would be good for 2 people. I will definitely stay here again!

Great Variety of Breakfast Foods

The food options at R. Kipling were good, in terms of variety: there was cold cereal, muesli, pancakes, three or four different types of bread, three or four different jams or jellies, honey, two types of juice, several types of cheese, salami, cherry tomatoes, sausages, scrambled eggs, and raw eggs to be cooked. The variety was good! I didn’t find cold milk to put on cereal, though.

Mixed Bag

Nice hotel in a nice area but that's about it. We were placed into a small, uncomfortable with no working electrics upon arrival and assured that we would be moved the next morning, which we were. Considering the price of the hotel it's worth it for the area but it's a very basic hotel. It does has a charm about it but it's really nothing special and doesn't merit a 4* rating as there is little to no amenities in the hotel. There isn't even a fridge in the room. The staff in the other hand were very friendly and welcoming. I would return to the area but not the hotel.
