Best Western Plus 61 Paris Nation Hotel

Had a nice time, it's Paris in the summer so it doesn't really matter where you stay, right? But this hotel is small but clean, friendly staff and really has all you need for a weekend break. Admittedly it is a bit off the beaten track but the metro station is a minute walk away and once you're on, the world is your oyster. A key stand out for myself personally was a member of staff by the name of Nessim, a very nice attentive host who looked after us and pushed this stay from a three to a four star. Didn't do the breakfast but there are lovely brasserie's a minute away and supermarkets and tobacco shops on the Main Street. Rooms are small but washroom is magic, has a minibar and a safe. Scenic views aren't from the window but the Eiffel Tower is only 15 minutes by metro. They let us bring our own wine onto the back smoking area for a few night caps. All things considered I'd stay here again. less

Great hotel with charming, clean and comfortable rooms with a nice modern design. The staff was friendly, prof. and very helpful. The breakfast good with many options. It was easy to get around with the metro just around the corner. The perfect hotel for my stay in wonderful Paris! less

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights for visiting Paris and Disneyland. Overall it was a good hotel with the main benefit being close to the metro station. We bought a travel card from the metro station by the airport for the metro and bus so we could get from the airport (Charles) and to where we need to go throughout our stay. It was 28 euros and 5 euros for the photo on the travel card. We used google maps to get around , taking screenshots of the metro routes and downloading maps. Staff and local people are helpful if you need guidance. Hotel benefits: Close to metro Friendly staff that talk good English Clean Free suitcase storage at the before and after checkout Fast fibre internet Room safe and hangers , kettle with tea and coffee , couple of milks They hold your room door card while you are out. This is good so it's not lost but would be good to have the option to take it with you and just pay a fine if it is lost. Large windows and little balcony Hotel drawbacks: Had to pay £50 euros deposit for the mini bar as we didn't have a credit card Lift can only fit one person and suitcase Breakfast was expensive (so went over the road to the local bakery that offer bread , qasants and pastries for 1-2 euros and local shop has juices) The rooms where small but big enough for a weekend , couldn't sit straight on the toilet as it's close to the shower. We had twin beds pushed together rather then a double :( , the beds where slipping on the carpet meaning they kept coming apart. Overall we would stay again but make sure we got a double room as on the booking it was a double or twin room. Would like to have a room where you can sit normally on the toilet. less

Excellent hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms are quite small but perfect and for the price you can't complain. The bed is very comfortable and there is a lovely big shower in the bathroom. Staff are very friendly and helpful if you have any problem. We never had breakfast in the hotel as we preferred to eat out but the area looked lovely and there seemed to be a good selection. In the evening times near the reception desk there was always a basket of pastries I'm assuming left over from breakfast that you could take for free! A lovely wee touch. Location was ideal. Literally round the corner, a two minute walk, was the metro station that is on one of the main metro lines. Only two stops from Gare de Lyon aswell. Safe location, seemed to be a commuter town, and on the way to metro station was an ATM which was handy. Some excellent fresh fruit shops along the way too. To summarise, room could be considered small for some people. In my opinion for the middle of Paris it's an excellent size and very comfortable. The price is very good, and the location is hard to beat. Very good value for money! If we are ever in Paris again, will definitely stay here! less
