Hôtel La Nouvelle République & Hammam

When we first arrived, the street on which this hotel sits is pretty dirty and run down, which is contrasted to the rest of Paris. My wife looked at me like I was crazy to have booked this hotel. Once inside, its done nicely with the available space. Our room was comfortable though the bathroom was very cramped, providing little room to reach the toilet. The air conditioner leaked, ultimately leading to a heavy mildew smell. The breakfast was spartan with little to speak for it other than it was food but at a 15 euro cost was hardly worth it. Overall, we had a pleasant experience but this is definitely not a 5 or a 4 star experience. If you are on a tight budget, this has the basics.

Stayed here for two nights, the front clerk was great, knew English and was very helpful. The area is good location if you want to be away from the center of Paris. The metro station is a few minutes away about 10-15 from the Hotel. The rooms are nice a little small but you can work with them, there is a lot of night activities with the local people so it can be a little noisy in the night. Overall it was a nice stay.

Great hotel! Highly recommended. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast service, room was clean. Appreciated the attention to detail with decor and helpful items in the room - wall outlets near bed, nice side lamps, kettle with tea, etc.

Not super pleased with this stay, especially for the cost. Location was very good and the staff onsite as helpful, although there wasn't much they could do to help with my issues. We decided to pay more for a king suite, and the room we received was dark and dingy, with a carpeted floor (why?). I caught a glimpse into other (CHEAPER) rooms and they were much brighter. The room was clean but the bathroom had a layer of dust on the wainscotting and dirt on the walls. Here's what I'm really displeased about: the rooms are advertised as soundproofed which is a full lie and needs to be removed immediately. We heard EVERYTHING in our room -- people coming up and down the stairs, every sound of people walking above, doors opening and closing, hair dryers and even people speaking in quiet voices in the next room. I was very displeased about this since it's the reason I booked the hotel in the first place. When I complained, I couldn't change rooms since the hotel was full. Staff said they would get in touch with the manager, who wrote to me via email. I have replied 3 times since and not heard a word back.
