"The hotel is very close to the subway, about a 5-minute walk, making it very convenient to get to tourist attractions. The hotel was renovated in 2021; the bathroom is nicely decorated and bright with a window, but the rooms are rather small and poorly lit. There's no elevator to the hotel reception, but the staff are very friendly and helpful with luggage."
"A clean hotel in a great central location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I forgot to take my phone charger, they helped me by giving their own charger to me and i returned it on my check out time. They don’t even asked me for it. My stay was excellent from check-in to check-out. The front desk team welcomed me warmly, and our room was spotless. The bed was very soft, and the hotel was quiet at night."
"The staff especially is extremely polite, kind and considerate. They were patient with my weak French skills and sympathetic to me needing a good night’s sleep. It is a little bit tricky if you go out til very late as there is no key fob to get into the hotel building , one must ring a bell, but the gentleman who came was very nice about it.
There are not many bells and whistles in terms of amentities, but if you need a practical hotel right next to the metro it is a perfect choice… near many beautiful sites, shops and activities, it is a great choice"
"Had a wonderful stay at the First Hotel. The service throughout the hotel was warm and professional. Special thanks to Omar from the front desk, when I checked in being told I was the last guest who arrived ( was around midnight) he said he gave me the best room with amazing view, which is very nice touch of him and his hospitality skills, especially to me after a long journey and feeling knackered.
Rooms and bed are spacious and super clean with a views of Eiffel Tower. They clean the room daily and there's a TV, AC, WiFi, coffee corner, free bottle of water, a nice clean bathroom with shower and amenities too.
Overall, First Hotel is a fantastic small modern boutique hotel, made me feel like home, good location close to train station, cafés, restaurants & shops.
I highly recommended this hotel and will 100% stay here again.!!"
"This is a great hotel! It's super convenient with multiple metro lines, bus stops, and the Montparnasse train station all nearby. I felt like it was pretty central too, not far from any of the attractions. Plus, there's a market, two supermarkets, and various restaurants (including McDonald's) in the vicinity. The room itself was excellent. I booked a deluxe room, and it seems the front desk upgraded me to an Edgar Exclusive room. I stayed for five nights, and the bath towels were changed daily, the bed was made every day, and they replenished the bottled water and coffee capsules. The bed sheets were changed every three days. My room, 601, felt quite spacious, probably around 20 square meters. The front desk staff were also very welcoming. I arrived early on the first day and left my luggage, and when I returned, it had already been delivered to my room. Perhaps the only minor drawback was the countertop sink in the bathroom; it was a bit awkward to use, and if the water pressure was too high, it would splash out. Otherwise, everything else was perfect. Also, I'm not sure why Ctrip indicated there was no air conditioning in the room, because there definitely was, and the bathroom also had an electric heater. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my choice of hotel for my Paris trip."
"I was a solo traveller, the room was small but the bed very comfortable.
Everything was very clean and possibly been renovated fairly recently.
I was on the 6th floor, it was very quiet.
The bathroom was nice, large lovely shower, but the only negative was a strong smell of drains in the bathroom.
I did not report it until my check out as I was hardly in the room (my fault).
The staff were pleasant, helpful and the hotel small but quaint.
The location is great for cafes and restaurants and the train station is nearby.
I would recommend to solo travellers in particular."
"Overall, it was quite clean. The bed was a bit small, but for a per-person booking, it was acceptable, similar in width to a dormitory bed. It felt like a typical three-star hotel.
The bathroom design was better than expected; it wasn't small, had good wet/dry separation, and the tiles and such were clean. The bathroom lighting was also ample, making it feel very clean (cleaner than the room carpet).
However, the overall spacing, corridors, and room carpets are a matter of opinion. The room itself was quite small, making it a bit difficult to walk around once two 24-inch suitcases were open.
The front desk service was excellent 👍.
Overall, it was still good value for the price. At this price point, it's a good option, one of the better three-star hotels."
"Good afternoon. In general impression on 3. The location is excellent and close to all the sights. But! The room was very cold on my comments I was told to ”twist the air conditioner” and waved. There is also but. The air conditioner gained a maximum of 26 degrees and, provided the room was also very raw - that is not enough, sorry. Furthermore, everywhere the pelvic in the bathroom and the bathroom. The pelvic is dirty. In the bedroom is a wet wall (photo appended). On the second night I started coughing, which was ONLY in the room and had a chest sick (there was no cough on the street). Last night (3 nights) the crude was already crude and I had a temperature since the morning. Thank you for a wonderful holiday! Compensation for treatment is reliable? And make repairs, seriously."
"The room is very large and comfortable, the equipment is a bit old and does not affect the use. The door cannot be locked, and it can be opened outside the door if there is a card.
Facilities: Some old
Hygiene: clean
Environment: Quiet
Service: Excellent."
"This is the best stay during our trip in Europe (15 days), we chose this hotel due to its convenient location and good price when we booked. It actually exceeded our expectations!!! The hotel is very clean, even though the room is small (very normal in Paris), it has everything we needed. The highlight was the staff, all the staff are very friendly and talked to us all the time, feeling like home, not just customer and staff relation. Not to mention that the complimentary coffee from the coffee machine downstairs was the best! We came from Australia indulged by one the best coffees in the world, Paris coffee tastes very average, but the coffee machine has great coffee beans and it tastes so much better than the one from coffee shops we have been to in Paris and all other European countries:) The district is very decent, safe, peaceful, but close to everything you need, some places in Paris with very cheap price can be very dodgy. Highly recommend to everyone!"

Amazing
GGuest UserThe room is small but well-equipped. The heated towel rack was very useful. There were staff members at the entrance who opened and closed the door for us every time we entered or exited. The subway station is just tens of meters away, and it's a residential area, so it doesn't feel overly crowded or complicated with people, making it quite safe.
GGuest UserWell concetualised hotel based on literature. This one was Marcel Proust. If you are keen to literature, you should stay in this hotel. Lobby was well designed with classic + modern style, the room was spacious enough with necessary amenities. Big Juliet balcony window but double glazed so no noise heard even it’s on the main road. High ceiling and bathroom ok. Sometimes when you go concept hotel, I could be quite tacky but this one was really well presented. Good bed and linens. Double bed larger than normal double bed. Staff members were helpful and even brought a bulb to fix the light.
I will stay in this hotel again.
SSupercubThe room was decent, and being on a high floor, it offered a nice view. However, I booked a twin room but was given a king-sized bed at check-in. I had to go to the front desk and ask them to have housekeeping split the king bed into two twins. This caused a bit of a delay, and the beds were still too close together for my liking. Not entirely satisfied.
GGuest UserThe room was small but MORE than adequate for a solo traveler. They also incorporated storage spaces that I didn't even use, since as under-bed drawers and a little closet. I thought it was a very clever use of space.
The air conditioning in my room was very good and kept the room quite cool. The room was clean when I arrived and perfectly refreshed each day when I returned. I very much enjoyed my stay.
The shower in the bathroom was my only difficulty. It was small enough that I couldn't bend over. 🤣 But all in all, it was a very efficient use of space and perfectly adequate for a space I only occupied to sleep
I also liked having local TV stations, as I got to watch the fireworks on Bastille Day.
I don't know what the hamman is.
I think there were plenty of transportation options nearby, but as a solo woman, I felt mildly uncomfortable with the vibe of the neighborhood. It didn't feel dangerous at all. But there were quite a few homeless people between the hotel and any bus stop/train station. I don't know a solution. I just think a solo woman traveler would want to know this. Again, I never felt unsafe. Just a little ”aware” of my vulnerability at night.
I would 100% stay here again.
LLiliichanI stayed for 7 days.
The location is excellent, and I felt at ease knowing that English was spoken.✨
**Location:**
It's within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue des Champs-Élysées, meaning there are tons of train and bus lines available! You can even get to the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland without any transfers. Access to Charles de Gaulle Airport is also good, taking about 50 minutes by train or 35 minutes by car. I also went to Orly Airport for one night to visit Nice. You can get to the airport line (CDG, ORLY) with just one transfer, so the location is truly fantastic.
**Amenities:**
Water and potato chips were provided daily. Tea and a kettle were also available, which was a nice touch. There are no toothbrushes, pajamas, or slippers. I brought my own slippers to use in the room. I never quite figured out why some days there were no chips or water (lol).
**Cleanliness:**
Bed making was done meticulously every day. It seems towels are only replaced if left on the floor; they weren't replaced on days I left them on the shelf.
AAMY·zhouThe cleanliness was passable – at least I didn't get bitten by bugs, but the bugs in the elevator lobby were a different story...
The environment was decent. Many European tour groups stay here. The hotel is right next to the subway, and our room was on the side closer to the park, so it was very quiet.
One time, we left the room with the key card in to keep the power on, but when we came back after grabbing a bite, the key card was gone. I went to the front desk to ask about it. I told them it's fine if they remove it, but they should leave it on the counter. Otherwise, what if they accuse me of missing a card, or what if they use a key card to enter my room whenever they want? A middle-aged woman, who seemed like a local French person, was incredibly arrogant. She didn't even look at me properly and simply replied, 'We just took it out.'
The bathtub drain was clogged, so I had to pull out the stopper every day.
GGuest User1) The Carrefour supermarket near the hotel showed a closing time of 10 PM on its door, and Google had the same information. However, it's actually open 24 hours, which is great for late-night arrivals.
2) The tea bags provided in the room make for a delicious brew.
3) The bathroom sink is located outside the toilet area, which isn't ideal. If someone uses the toilet at night, or needs to wash and dry their hair, the light or noise from the sink area (which is right next to the bed) can disturb the other person.
4) For the price of the hotel room, it's quite spacious. However, it does take some time to get to by subway, about 20 to 30 minutes, although the hotel is conveniently located near two subway stations.
5) The Wi-Fi password changes daily. I only found this out on the second day when I couldn't connect. You need to scan a QR code every day for Wi-Fi. It would be helpful if the staff informed guests about this during check-in.
6) Apparently, you can't use the air conditioning if the window is open because it's designed to turn off when you leave the room. I spent a long time trying to get the A/C to work after returning to the hotel with the window still open, only to find out from reception that I needed to close the window first. 😅
GGuest UserThe hotel is just in front of the station Gare du nord.Very easy and convenient to go anywhere to Eiffel tower,Louvre museum,and others from here either by bus,metro,Eurostar.U won't get lost.Just the lift for the hotel is a bit small.It can accommodate u and 2 big luggage one time.There is KFC beside the hotel and other cafes.The carrefour is behind the hotel.So u can shop some groceries or snacks also.
DDolmatova TatianaThe hotel's location is excellent: close to the metro, McDonald's, and a grocery store are very close, and all the city center attractions are within walking distance.
The staff is helpful and polite.
The hotel is in good condition, with a working elevator and plenty of TV channels. The room is small, like all Paris hotels.
The most important thing in winter is that the hotel is very warm!
The bathroom had a window :)
Cons:
- No kettle in the room
- Safe doesn't work
- Very small shower stall (barely fits a 90+ kg person)
AAMAKA SPARKLEVery horrible hotel for black female travellers.
I stayed at the Originals with my friend for 3 nights, then another 2 nights. We pre-booked and paid for the 3 nights in FULL before arrival.
Upon arrival, we were charged a deposit of €150 Euros which was explained to be a security deposit to be returned after checkout.I had no issues with that and focused on exploring Paris.
There was a day my room wasn’t cleaned and I complained to a mixed lady at the hotel reception politely to inform the cleaner and she condescendingly looked at me and blurted “I’m not the cleaner”. I never asked her to be one, I only informed her so she can tell the cleaners to make a stop at my room and refill the shower gel, replace soap and toilet paper.
The day I checked out, I missed my flight due to the Paris traffic and had to reschedule my flight to the next available date which was in 48 hours which meant I needs to stay in Paris for another 2 nights. I headed back to the hotel.
I don’t know why but our cards refused to work despite being funded. We had some Euros cash left in cash and paid for one extra night.
The next day, we asked to extend but our cards wouldn’t work. We informed them that we needed to get some sleep but would try an ATM or go to a BDC to change some Dollars.
In between, the cleaner came to the room and yanked off our key card cutting off the light supply, we were barraged with calls from the reception threatening that security was going to escort us out of the room.
It’s wild because most of their staff is black and yet they treated us like ****.
We saw how white guests were treated and black guests and the difference was clear.
Maybe they had an assumption and became discriminatory towards us.
Note that 4 nights out of 5 was already paid in FULL and they had a security deposit of over 200 Euros with them.
We had to abandon everything and rush to an ATM to withdraw more cash💰 to pay for the final day.
Let’s not get into the fact that one of their staff ******* almost tried to be ****** with me.
I got into the elevator to go and get water at the restaurant on the 8th floor, he kept looking at my boobs and made suggestive comments about wanting to spend the night with me. He also insisted on a hug.
I cried from the experience of that hotel and very horrified. As a travel content creator, I will document my experience with videos when I’m back home and share YouTube videos. If you’re a Nigerian or black woman, please avoid THE ORIGINALS. I was excited to be here but it turned into a nightmare.
As a business owner myself and CEO of 3 thriving companies, I saw some many lapses in their customer service. The entire place needs a staff overhaul.
