As a veteran traveler in over 40 countries in 5 continents during the last forty years, I've become a crude reviewer of the cardboard-type selection available to 21st century pilgrims. When I find a jewel, I take a deep breath to remembrance the foregone days of luxury air and cruise travel. Honoring its name, Hotel Original in Paris is redundant... More

My friend and I just returned from 2 nights at the Hotel Original. The location near the Bastille, and steps from great dining and shopping in the Marais, is terrific. The staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We ordered coffee each morning, and it arrived at the exact time we asked for it--and it was delivered with... More

Just returned from a two-night stay at this hotel. Have stayed in many hotels in Paris at this style and price point, and this was certainly one of the nicer ones. Rooms are characteristically small, but certainly not the smallest we've stayed in. Location is ultra convenient. Just 15 mins on same metro line from Gare du Nord, for example.... More

My family of four and I all loved the hotel. The children (8 & 12) both loved the uniqueness of the hotel. We stayed in the Alice and wonderland rooms for four. The staff was very courteous and polite to everyone. I did think the price of the breakfast was a bit steep (12 euros) but as I didn't eat... More

A beautifully designed hotel in the heart of Paris. Well located next to Bastille it was a comforting place to come back to after a day of sight seeing.

From the excellent service to the quirky jellyfish lamps this hotel has it all. We were instantly made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived and even got to check in a bit earlier. The very friendly and helpful manager at the desk who greeted us was excellent throughout our stay and I would like to say thank you... More

I'll go along with all the impressive reviews already written. We go to Paris quite often, lucky us, and have stayed in quite a few different hotels. We were very happy staying at Hotel Original as the location couldn't be better. The Bastille Métro stop has three lines that go through it, and it's very easy to get almost anywhere... More

Fantastic decor of this hotel make it a special destination. As others have said, it is in a convenient location to cafes and restaurants and steps away from the underground metro. The true value here is in the unique and stimulating decor that is on display throughout the building. Particular attention to detail abounds and makes this a worthwhile destination... More

We stayed here for one night and definitely fell in love with this wonderful little hotel. We arrived early (at around 10am) and they were very accommodating and let us check into our room early so we could get some quick sleep (very jetlagged). The staff was wonderful, the room was a wonderful discovery and beautiful and the location was... More
