Our main criteria for Hotel selection was location and Hotel Les Theatres is perfectly located. Right off the metro stop of the 4, 8 and 9 lines, so only a few stops away from Paris’ main sights. On top of that, the Hotel is within a short walking distance from several of the neighbourhoods we wanted to explore: Little Egypt, Le Marais, République, we even discovered great cocktail bars and cafés around Porte St-Denis.

Hotel rating is more 3 stars by North American standards, so manage your expectations and you’ll be fine. Yes, the room is very small, the lift is extremely tiny and there is limited closet space, but this is Paris and you’re not staying at Le Meurice. The room was well maintained and clean and our bed, very comfortable. Only downside is that our shower was flooding, so we needed to use extra towels.

Staff was absolutely lovely and accommodating. We also very much enjoyed the “Theater” theme in the room and common areas. The quirky design resonated positively with us.

Overall it was a pleasant stay and we would definitely return.

We stayed here in April for three nights and it was a perfect rest point for a busy few days walking around Paris.

Good location, most things were within walking distance. The breakfast was fairly limited but still enough choice to appease a hungry belly.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We upgraded our room as the first was very small and we were lucky to get another as the hotel was fully booked. Our new room was much bigger but just as charming and quirky as the smaller room.

My only complaint is that the rooms were boiling and at that time of year you didn’t have a cold option on the aircon. It was either have it hot, or don’t have it on. We had to sleep with the window open which was very noisy as you can imagine.

They also gave you a free mobile phone to take and use during your stay. Nice touch, but we didn’t need it as we have our own mobiles.

Not the cheapest hotel either, but generally enjoyed our stay.
