I've stayed here many times in the past but this was my first time staying here since 2007. I had very good interaction via email with the hotel before leaving regarding room requests and even asked for some help with restaurant reservations all with great satisfaction and thanks to Sophie. We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights from the... More

Not a bad hotel at all. Easy to find, and friendly staff with clean, reasonably sized rooms make this a good choice for those not wanting to spend 200 euros a night on a hotel room. The hotel doesn't have parking but there's a temporary pull in space out front for unloading. We were given directions to a carpark 5... More

I am a Canadian professor in my early 40s and stayed in hotel Carofftel Gobelins on my way to Africa on a two-day stopover in Paris. I had been to Paris on two other trips including once with my partner at the time. On this trip, I was travelling alone and just wanted a quiet place where I wouldn't feel... More

Stayed in '09. Adequate room with nice view of the city. Breakfast wasn't memorable. Near metro, restaurants. Away from tourist sites. Safe to walk around at night. Wifi was terrible. More

Pleasant small hotel with friendly 24 hour reception. Bedrooms are adequately large to comfortably park your belongings and the bathrooms we had were larger than we had anticipated (always a nice surprise). Another plus is access to WiFi for a nominal cost. Decor is a wee bit tired in places but, most important, everything was clean. Great location for accessing... More

Great location!! Metro goes very quickly to anywhere you need. Shopping and restaurants, bakeries, market at Mouffetard very close but felt hotel lacked a little for the price. We had no hot water the first 2 days, sheets had holes, daughter's extra bed was taped with packing tape to hold up, credit card did not work on check out day... More

I went to Paris on business for two days and then stayed a day and half extra for pleasure. The room was typical of Europe: a main room large enough for a bed, desk, and armoire, and not much else, and in this case a good-sized separate bathroom. The style was plain, with little character, but clean. The hotel staff... More

We booked the Carofftel as part of a week city break and were very pleased. The service was polite and friendly and we had no problems while we stayed there. The room was a little small, but that's the norm in Paris so we wouldn't expect anything else! For the location I thought the price was fantastic, very close to... More
