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

Very convenient location with walking distance to subway and RER station, a lot of really nice French restaurant near by, McDonalds and Starbacks are minutes from the hotel, good supermarket within walking distance. Clean and neat rooms. Extremely friendly and nice people work in this hotel. Unfortunately, we visited Paris in "peak" time and price was little bit higher than... More

As with another reviewer, I don't really understand all the glowing reviews! It was adequate, but there were too many irks for us to recommend the hotel to others. Good things: close to Metro, and an okay walk to things like the Latin Quarter. However, a lot of tourist destinations require two changes of Metro. Our irks: - the older... More
