Hotel des Arts - Paris, France 

Approach with extreme caution.

When they say "basic" they mean basic. Expect nothing and you will not be disappointed. Ideal for pennyless students and ladies of the night. Noisy, uncomfortable and guaranteed to make you miss your mother's cooking, no matter how bad she is.

THe room I had (no: 1, the "Toulouse-Lautrec" room)is situated directly in front of the desk, next to a waiting room where a jukeboxe played all day long and offer a view on the garbage of the hotel. Besides, the breakfast is for anorexics only, even by european standards. This room has ruined my stay in Paris. Have I had been in a different room I may have liked the Hotel.

Booked Hotel des Arts for 23-26 March from good reviews on various travel sites. E-mailed hotel prior to departing and they replied that the booking was OK. On arriving was told that the room was been “renovated!!” and that I was booked into another hotel in the area. On apology, nothing. Seemed like this was normal procedure for them.. On investigation on Trip Advisor forum it seems that this hotel is notorious for “walking” people to other hotels in the area!! . This hotel seems to be a victim of it`s own success as it only has 30 rooms? . Be aware,book this hotel at your peril PS As it was the other hotel was OK

For Paris the price is ok. The location on Montmartre is splendid, 2 Metro stations in walking distance, cafes and restaurants a wink away.

As a young couple, we found that Hotel Des Arts is the perfect match for people who want to reside in Montmartre: a short walk from Abbesses, Blanche and Clichy - three metro station in the area - is also convenient for walking on top of the hill. Not to mention its peculiar atmosphere, warm and cozy. Rooms are clean, albeit a little small, but you just have to sleep...
