When we arrived at the hotel we thought we had somehow managed to book the perfect hotel! The location is excellent, surrounded by bars, lovely restaurants and clubs, and a stones throw from the Bastille Metro stop. But unfortunately is was pretty much all down hill from there. The reception staff were quite rude and unaccommodating throughout our stay, and... More

Having read lots of reviews saying rooms in Paris are on the small side I was pleasantly surprised by our 3rd floor room here. Compact but well designed and nice clean black and white decor. There's three things I think hotels should try to get right,... a good shower, comfy bed and good thick curtains. All three were great here,... More

My partner and I have stayed in Paris a few times, always on a budget and this is by far the best hotel we've stayed in. Very clean. Good size room, excellent spacious bathroom and lovely help yourself buffet breakfast. Will definitely go back. More

My boyfriend and I have just returned from a four night stay in Paris. I was looking forward to staying in the hotel as there had been many positive reviews but my expectations were surpassed. We arrived before the 2pm check in time but were told our room was already available - a huge bonus as we had a very... More

I can't say enough good things about the staff at the Standard. I think it is best summed up with an anecdote. When we arrived - very tired from a long train trip - my 12 year old wanted to have food from a well known American fast food chain. When we asked where the nearest one of these restaurants... More

Me and a friend went on a four day trip to Paris, having a few friends that live out there we wanted to be quite central and near the metro. This hotel was perfect for our trip, the room was a little small but ideal for two and the bed was a decent size. Good sized bathro. The location was... More

Our room wasn't ready, then it was the wrong type of room..and it was too late to change it by the time the room was available. Could have dealt with that, but the staff was rude, in general. Bed was hard... The sink literally takes up the entire bath counter so there's no place to put your toiletries. We stayed... More

The problem with this hotel is not the Phillipe Starcke-esque plexiglass and 70s flashback motif, nor the proximity to the Place de la Bastille or Bd. Voltaire. The main problem is the nonstop revelry that takes place on the Rue de la Roquette (on weekends in particular) by 20-somethings and their dates, and in particular gathering at the busy cafe... More

My partner and I stayed at the Standard Design Hotel for 12 nights this past October. We had a great time in Paris. In part, I attribute this to the hotel, since it is centrally located. You can go from the hotel to the metro and several of the major sites within minutes ( 10 -15 min at most, some... More
