Hôtel des Ecrivains — Hotel in Paris

Me and my partner have recently returned from a 3 night stay at this budget Parisian hotel and staying here was an enjoyable & pleasant experience! Our room was small but had everything we needed with an extremely comfortable bed & modern bathroom. My only complaint regarding the room would be that it was a little dark and could do with more lighting. During our stay at this hotel all staff I encountered spoke very good English and were always happy to help. They made my trip more enjoyable.||In terms of travel, the hotel is only a 15 minute metro journey away from many major tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre museum & Notre Dame cathedral whilst being around 40-45 minutes via Metro from CDG Aeroport. ||Hotel des Ecrivains is situated at Place d'Italie within the 13th arrondissement and is surrounded by plenty of restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets etc. This area however isn't touristy so can be daunting if your not willing to have a go at speaking basic French.||||If your looking for a budget hotel option in the inner city centre of Pairs with a non touristy feel then this is one you should certainly consider. I will be staying again on my next...

The room was nestled in one of Paris’s older buildings. Had big window; fine in October. But no air-conditioning. Thus, sleeping here during these summer heat waves was surely uncomfortable (had some fans). They put in an elevator that could accommodate one person with a suitcase. I found that most of the Paris big 7-storey buildings were built in the middle of 19th century and had no elevators. City is not very senior-friendly (I’m 67). We bought 2-day metro passes, but used metro only in the mornings, with all the stairs down and up and again down and up. Metro station is 3-5 minutes walk from the hotel. We used UBER when we were tired, which was also a part of seeing the sights and the nightlife. In room’s bathroom there was a deep, clean and slippery bath tub. Nothing to grab, if you happen to slip. We found, that most of European hotels in older buildings were not senior-friendly. We skipped the 15-Euro breakfast and ate outside. The staff was friendly and English-speaking. Overall, due to cool October nights, we had peaceful and comfortable sleep...
