National Arboretum des Barres

We’ve stayed here three times now, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. The location is perfect — everything you want to see is either a short walk or a quick Metro ride away. The terrace breakfast is a real highlight and a lovely way to start the day in Paris. Like every hotel in Paris, the rooms are on the small side, but it honestly doesn’t matter. You’re not here to sit in your room, and what you get for the price is outstanding. For travelers, this is the best combination of location and value we’ve found in the city. We’ll be back for a fourth stay, and a fifth after that.

We liked the location, easy 1 hour walk to Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, Arc de Triumphed, short 15 minute walk to Notre Dame.

Great experience overall! The apartment was nice, quiet, and comfortable, and we really enjoyed having the terrace. We stayed for six nights and would definitely stay here again. A few things to keep in mind: unlike a traditional hotel, there is a charge for early check-in as well as for extra coffee pods. We also weren’t provided with quite enough coffee or toilet paper for a six-night stay, which was a little inconvenient. If you’re deciding between the one- and two-bedroom options, I’d recommend the two-bedroom. The two- bedroom apartment is a little smaller and cozier in person than it appears in the photos, so the extra space is worth it. Overall, we had a great stay and would happily return!
