Hotels near 13th arr., Paris

As I was traveling by bus the next day, I looked for a cheap place with no meals included and within walking distance of the hotel and bus stop. The toilet and bathroom are shared, so I thought it might be difficult for people who like cleanliness.

We booked a triple room, which was a bit small, but the bathroom was quite spacious. One bed was a comfortable 1.8 meters, while the other was a smaller 80 centimeters. The hotel is very close to Place d'Italie, which has multiple metro lines, making it super convenient for getting around. Behind the hotel, there are several restaurants, including a good Chinese restaurant with reasonable prices. They even held our luggage for us after check-out, which was a big plus! 👍

It was very quiet at night, making for a peaceful sleep. Parking is available in a dedicated underground garage, costing less than 28 Euros per night. There are plenty of dining options nearby; within a 1km walk, you can find all kinds of eateries. We eventually chose to try some Henan specialties.

The Louvre Museum is an awe-inspiring testament to human creativity, history, and culture, offering a truly unforgettable experience for art lovers and casual visitors alike. Nestled in the heart of Paris, the museum itself is a masterpiece, with its iconic glass pyramid entrance juxtaposed against the grandeur of the former royal palace. From the moment you step inside, you’re swept into a vast labyrinth of galleries that span centuries and continents, housing over 35,000 works of art. The most famous, of course, is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and while the crowd around it can be intense, seeing her enigmatic smile in person is a rite of passage for any art enthusiast. But the Louvre is far more than just that single painting. The richness of its collection is staggering—whether you're gazing at the monumental Winged Victory of Samothrace, standing before the Venus de Milo, or marveling at the dramatic canvases of French Romanticism, the museum constantly surprises and captivates. Each wing of the Louvre unfolds like a different world: the ancient Egyptian artifacts transport you to a civilization thousands of years old, while the Islamic art wing showcases breathtaking tilework, calligraphy, and design. What truly makes the experience exceptional is how seamlessly the museum blends its immense scale with intimate moments—quiet corners where you can pause before a lesser-known masterpiece and feel as though you’ve discovered a hidden gem. The layout can be overwhelming, so first-time visitors might benefit from choosing a thematic route or guided tour, lest they get lost in the endless corridors. Despite its size, the Louvre maintains an incredible sense of curation; the lighting, spacing, and presentation of each artwork feel purposeful and respectful. Facilities are well-maintained, with cafes and rest areas offering welcome breaks during a long visit. Staff are helpful and security is professional yet unobtrusive, ensuring that the artwork is protected without hindering the visitor experience. Visiting during early mornings or late evenings often makes for a more peaceful experience, especially if you're hoping to linger in front of popular pieces. Ultimately, a trip to the Louvre is more than just a museum visit—it’s a cultural pilgrimage. It invites you to reflect not only on artistic genius but also on the evolution of human civilization itself. Whether you spend two hours or an entire day there, the Louvre leaves a deep impression that lingers long after you exit its doors.

Location is alright, it’s abt 5mins walk to metro station. Takes about 20mins metro to Louvre. Receptionist is really nice she explained everything really well. We booked for two nights, but the air conditioner was broken and we only only borrow fans from there. They promised to get someone fix it for us the other day, but it remained unfixed the other day as they responded they do not have the piece to fix it. They offered free breakfast the other day to compensate. The room we moved in was narrow for three person, narrow walking space, could be inconvenient to fully open up a big suitcase

There were no slippers or water in the hotel room. I expected these. The hotel was comfortable. When I went down for breakfast there was almost nothing left to eat. So I had to have breakfast outside.

The hotel is very large and has its own restaurant, located on the banks of the Seine. Once you enter the Chinatown archway, you will see the hotel area and a parking lot. The interior is decorated in Chinese style. The rooms have balconies and disposable supplies: toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, water, etc. As for the standard small refrigerator and safe of a four-star hotel, they are also available. The restaurant area and the guest room area are together, and the Chinese food cooked by Chinese chefs is authentic! In addition to Western breakfast, there are also porridge, small steamed buns, flower rolls, hot soy milk, hot milk, fried noodles, etc., which are very suitable for Chinese stomachs. There are many Chinese employees in the hotel and restaurant, so there is no problem communicating in Chinese! Worth recommending!

The staff was friendly and helpful. Even after checking out, I was saved when I was walking around the city by having my luggage kept. The room we stayed in is also easy to cook with refrigerator, microwave oven and mini kitchen. (Although the fire power of the electric stove is quite weak) The water was clean without smell.

First off, the hotel is brand new, but it's a bit hard to find, and the location isn't ideal – about 600 meters from the subway. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, but not many dining options, so it feels a little out of the way. The service wasn't great, especially from a long-haired woman with a slightly darker complexion at the front desk. She was quite unfriendly and impatient with us, which left a very bad impression. When we returned to the hotel at night, she was there again with a young man at the front desk. We wanted to add breakfast, and she directly told us: ”We're very busy right now. Can you come back tomorrow?” Sorry??? Aside from this attitude from the staff, everything else was pretty good. They really need to improve their customer service training.

Actually great hotel for reasonable price. At first entrance throw us off looking plain and old, we almost missed it, but when we entered the place we were pleasantly surprised by the nice atmosphere and fresh welcoming look coupled with the pleasant receptionist. Room was really nice and clean and climate control was working really well. We weren’t disturbed when being in room and every time we came back we found room put together nicely. Staff were really welcoming and location proved to be great. Really nice experience
