Hôtel Urban Bivouac — Hotel in Paris

Hotel Urban Bivouac Tobias is a gem!

This is the 4th time that I am coming to Urban Bivouac, I have only praises for the hotel. The pictures on the website are very real, they show the hotel and the rooms exactly like they are. The location is perfect: in the 13th arrondissement, so not in the heart of Paris exactly, but also not at all out of the way and very well deserved by metro (the recent Line 14, state of the art trains and brand new stations) and also buses. The 13th is a lively neighborhood and the rue de Tolbiac is full of nice bakeries and cafés. It is also located very close from the 11th and the 12th where there are tons of cool bars and restaurants. The hotel is very well designed and offers several sizes of rooms. They are on the small size, so refer to the size indicated on the website, but they are extremely well designed and organized. The room is sound proofed (from the outside and the inside of the hotel as well), the AC/heater system is outstanding — efficient and quiet, the water pressure is amazing and the hot water flows in seconds. The mattress is firm and super comfortable and the pillows are perfect. The breakfast option is excellent. For 12 € you get an all-you-can-eat buffet that can also be served in your room). The breakfast room is open all day and is also perfect for working time or even quiet business or private meetings during the day. Everything is new, modern, and absolutely spotless. The service is excellent and 24/7: everyone is friendly and efficient, ready to help you get the best experience ever. You can call any time of the day and someone will pick up the phone. You can also chat on WhatsApp, which is very convenient. Finally the price: it is very competitive for Paris and such a location. I highly recommend this hotel and will come back every time I...

I’ll start with the good. Hotel is very modern and very clean. Loved that the room was cleaned very well everyday as we weren’t expecting this because of COVID. Staff was very friendly upon check in and even provided recommendations for where to visit as it was our first time in Paris. Hotel is very close to metro and bus lines making it easy to get around. The bed was also pretty comfortable. The bad is that the rooms are very very small. Wasn’t a deal breaker but something to take into account. It was me and my wife staying so just barely enough room for us. 2 out of the 4 nights we stayed the fire alarms went off at 4 am or earlier. Not sure what happened but really annoying when you’re really tired from a long day of sight seeing. We were also told upon check in the the breakfast was included in our room rate. We tried it out once because there wasn’t much substance to it. Bread, croissants, juice, and some boiled eggs. Was a buffet but you can only fill up so much on that kind of stuff. We later learned upon check out that we were being charged for the breakfast. Thank goodness we only went once because it’s not worth the 13.90 euros per person the ended up charging us. I let our check out agent know and he didn’t seem to care and proceeded to charge us anyways. The area where it was at was also not the best and seemed much dirtier than the rest of Paris....
