Chez Pépé Merle — Hotel in Paris

Such a lovely stay with a wonderful and welcoming host. |Claire has lots of tips and knowledge.of all things Paris and was very happy to share. And also very accommodating as I speak very little French and therefore spoke in English. That was really appreciated. Thank you!!|Chez Pepe Merle is around a 20 minute walk to Paris Gare du Nord train station for Eurostar and train travel. 5 minutes from the amazing Pere Lachaise cemetery and has excellent links via metro and bus, to anywhere in the city and beyond. |I walked a route to the Eiffel tower that was recommended by Claire which took me past Notre Dame, The Louvre, through Tuileries gardens to Cleopatra's needle, up the Champs Elysées and on to the magnificent L'arc du Triomphe. |There are electric city bikes to hire everywhere. Sign up to the apps before you go so that you're ready to hire them. I say this as it took me 20 minutes and it would have just been more straight forward if I'd done this earlier.| The facilities at Chez Pepe Merle were lovely and clean with a really good shower room. Great shower!! And the bed was wonderfully comfortable.|Breakfast was delicious with coffee and lovely bread, cheeses, jams and fruit salad. Just lovely!!!|There are also lots of places to eat and drink, and the food was delicious. Also, local shops open late and a couple of nice cheese and wine shops.|I don't usually do reviews but people should know about this place. And then get booked in.|I cannot recommend staying here highly enough.|Thank you again Claire for such a lovely...

I usually wait until the end of a trip to write a review—but this time, I simply couldn’t. Everything here is above and beyond, and I felt compelled to share my joy even before leaving.||From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. The atmosphere is serene and welcoming, and every detail has been thoughtfully curated. Breakfast was a daily delight: a beautifully arranged table with fresh fruit, chilled water, and little touches that made each morning feel like a celebration of calm and care.||The space is not only comfortable but intellectually enriching, with a wonderful selection of books and plenty of fascinating material about French culture and language. It’s the kind of place that feeds both body and mind.||And the owner—what a remarkable woman. She is warm, gracious, and incredibly well-educated. Her hospitality is genuine and deeply felt, and her attention to detail is nothing short of inspiring. She made me feel not just welcomed, but truly valued.||This stay has been unforgettable, and I’m already dreaming of returning. If you’re looking for a peaceful, enriching, and heartwarming escape, this...

This was my third time visiting Paris, and the first time in a bed & breakfast style accommodation which is perfect for those who want to experience Paris a bit more like a local. Claire, the owner, was such a wonderful host and made me feel at home and well taken care of and always on hand to give tips and guidance on anything that came to mind. The location was great as everything was a stone's throw away be it a cafe, restaurant, grocery store, metro stop, etc. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable and a great place to retire to each evening. Breakfast each morning was an elaborate spread of various local specialties such as breads, pastries, fruit, cheeses, etc. Meeting some of the other guests during breakfast time was so nice as I always love hearing about other's experiences as well as sharing my own, and a great way of finding out about interesting places to visit that may not be on your radar. It was sad to have to leave at the end of my 4 night stay. I would 100% stay here again the next...
