In the center of Paris, near Place de la Republique, this hotel is close to Picasso Museum. I choose this hotel because it was near to the purpose of our travel - Mika's pop concert in Cirque dHiver which was close by (walking distance). I was pleasantly impressed with personnel politeness. Even though the building was a bit old keeping... more

My wife and I and two children (8 and 12 years) stayed in one of the two Suites at the Hotel Aquarelle for three nights at 120 Euros per night including breakfast. The Aquarelle is an older Paris-style hotel but it's clean and comfortable. Our Suite was at one time quite snazzily decorated and retains much of its former character.... more

This was a hotel we were sent to after our booked hotel made a mistake and couldn't accomodate us for our first night. We were charged the other hotel's rate for this night, despite this one being 15Euros cheaper! 65Euros a night seems ok for this hotel. The location was really good, the staff were super friendly and helpful. A... more

Pleasant check-in turned into a horror after opening the doors of our room. It was not impossible to talk about cleanliness of the bathroom. The mould was covering most of the bathroom walls.We was offered to change a room or immediate bathroom cleaning service and a room rate reduction incl. free breakfast.Although we have been promised, nothing had been done.Only... more

I stayed for a few nights in August 08. The location is fantastic (v. central for walkers or metro outside) I had a large room overlooking Boulevard de Temple, the view alone providing a fantastic slice of Paris - immigrant workers campaigning for work permits directly ahead and the leisurely cafe culture to the right. The room was once beautiful,... more

I'm surprised at the negativity in a lot of these reviews. Maybe those people should have stayed at the Hotel Brebant, as I did, before moving on to the Aquarelle. The Brebant was more expensive and far grubbier, with ruder staff. The Aquarelle is absolutely no-frills, but the rooms are clean and bright, the staff are very friendly and speak... more

My friend and I started our european adventure in Paris and in the Hotel aquarelle.We were greeted by what I envisioned a rude french man to be-a sneer and a turned up nose at us.He mentioned that he would not be there that afternoon and so we hoped for more pleasent assistance.Oh well...we got into our room via the small... more

Not bad for the price we paid. They spoke better English than we did French, all the staff were helpful and freindly. The room was ok, the bathroom was on the very small size but we managed. I wish we had taken our travel kettle. The Hotel was surrounded by bars and cafes. Great location, Metro very close. My first... more

The good location is all that it has in its behalf. All the rest sucks: Poor breakfast, inexistent deco in the rooms, lousy toilets. But the worst is really the noise!!!! You can hear every time anyone flushes the toilet (and it is so loud that it’s nerve racking!) every time the metro passes, every time someone walks in the... more
