Great spot in the 5th arrondisement in Paris, relatively close to all the good stuff with solid transportation options. Cute older hotel, small but clean.

Lovely small hotel with each room uniquely designed in a retro style. It was clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet in a major city. The room was typically small as in many Paris hotels but all the amenities we needed had been cleverly incorporated. The area around the hotel was like a small town with its own community and there were plenty very good restaurants and bars around. The metro station close by was ideal to get us into the city centre.

I loved the decor (retro) and the comfort of our room. The front desk staff at check in and upon departure were incredibly kind and spoke such good English, which was so helpful. The hotel is located in a great area and we wish we had booked it for more than one night. The bed was very comfortable and all the appointments in the bathroom and the room were classy. I absolutely loved opening my window to the street while I had my coffee (nespresso provided)

Great Choice
Hotel de Esperance was a great choice for a 5 day visit to Paris!
The hotel is conveniently located near public transportation as well as numerous cafes. It is non-smoking.
The breakfast offered a good variety in a comfortable space.
The room was spacious, clean and quiet with a comfortable bed.
The staff were all welcoming, hospitable and very knowledgeable. They were always willing to answer our questions.
Highly Recommendable.

The hotel was great and very convenient with our Paris walking excursion’s . The breakfast was continental but we had plenty of options to start our day . The fresh bread, croissants ,yogurt , meats and cheeses were fabulous. I am a big eater and I never left hungry at breakfast. The staff were very helpful and thankfully understood English because our French is not good. The rooms are small but very modern and clean. We expected this in Paris and we will be back!
