La Manufacture - Paris, France 

"What more do you need?"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
This was my 6th stay in Paris and once again I decided to choose a different hotel because I never found one I wanted to return to. Until I checked into La Manufacture! Definitely an excellent hotel and I highly recommand it to every Paris tourist. As other users pointed out, the rooms are tiny, or let´s say compact, but cosy. The furniture and decoration are nice, if not stylish. The staff was extremely helpful and charming. We also had breakfast which I found excellent - and I´ve seen quite some "breakfasts" in Paris hotels... A note on the surrounding: It is just a 2 minute walk to the metro station Place d´Italie as well as to one of the main streets of this arrondissement Rue des Gobelins. There are plenty of restaurants and shops and - if you feel like - go and see a film at the cinema. Some of the films are shown in the original version with French subtitles and the ambiance there is nice as well. All in all, a pleasant and comfortable hotel with very good value. I will certainly return.

Very very nice hotel, staff was incredibly helpful when we had some problem with the shuttle van from the airport, near the hotel there is a metro station and 2 bus stops for the centre, really a place to remember!

We stayed in Hotel La Manufacture for two nights in the spring time, and everything went well. As Americans, we expect hotel rooms to be bigger. We had two large suitcases and barely had enough room to stow them for the night. The bathroom was tiny, but functional. The only real problem was the temperature control. I could not get mine to work, so it was a bit warm at night. On the plus side, the front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating, even making harried arrangements for our airport shuttle at 10 PM for the next morning!

We stayed at Hotel Manufacture in December 08. It might sound like a strange thing to say, but the wonderful, clean smell that hit us as we walked through the door was a fantastic welcome. It made it seem like the hotel was well maintained, which we subsequently found out to be true. The receptionist when we arrived was extremely friendly & efficent, & spoke perfect English. She gave us ideas of where to go & what to see during our time in Paris. She also lent us a travel adaptor when we found the one we had taken didn’t fit. We had a superior room with a balcony, which wasn’t huge, but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The only addition that would have been nice would have been a kettle! We had no noise problems from the nearby police station, despite our balcony being above where some of the cars were parked. Another bonus is that the hotel is on a direct Metro line from Gare Du Nord (where the Eurostar terminal is), so it is easily accessible, even with suitcases! We would recommend people buy the advance Metro passes, as you can jump on & off the Metro as often as you like, making it a much easier process than buying individual tickets. All in all, we had a fantastic time in Paris & would recommend Hotel Manafacture to anyone.

Great stay. Had trouble finding it. Would be a great idea to mention that it is directly behind the town hall on Place de Italie.
