I spent a lot of time deciding where to stay in Paris. There's an overwhelming number of hotels and a great many of them are exorbitantly priced. I opted to stay at the Hotel Boileau because it seemed to meet my requirements of being clean, safe, relatively inexpensive and not too far from the city center. It was definitely all... more

There are pros and cons to this hotel: Pros: -Located close to Exelman's metro stop so it was very easy to get wherever we wanted to go. -Large bathroom -Friendly staff -Close to a laundry mat, grocery store, and bakery Cons: -Nice hotel but very small. One friend is very tall and his legs dangled over the bed some so... more

We have just come back from a 2 night stay in Paris to see the sights. The hotel is conveniently located, it's a 5 minute walk from Exelmans metro station down a quiet side street. It was close enough for us to walk back into the centre of Paris to do all the tourist bits - Eiffel Tower etc. and... more

ROOMS Our room was great, full of charcter with antique fixtures and fittings, an immaculately clean en-suite, and a flat screen TV. Obviously at 2* you shouldn't expect Hilton-style luxury, but the room was clean, well serviced, and more than adequate for our needs. LOCATION The Hotel is located in a quiet an unintimidating residential neighbourhood of the 16th Arondissement,... more

Of the 2-star hotels I've stayed in in Paris this is my favourite (so far). I got quite a good rate on a late booking (so that helped to impress me) but it would have been worth it had it been more expensive. Firstly, the hotel receptionist was lovely (spoke at least 3 languages fluently and was always smiling and... more

I'm a middle-aged solo male traveller. I wanted to visit Paris, where I lived for 2 years in my misspent early adulthood. Hadn't been back since. I was on a budget. My criteria was quiet, safe, clean, and on the metro. The Boileau matched up in every category. A great 2 star hotel. I booked on the Paris Tourism site... more

I thought this little hotel was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the decor was fresh and clean, the rooms were spotless and the antiques dotted about gave the place a feel far above it's two star rating. The room we had was very large by Parisian standards as was the bathroom, and the only complaint we have... more

Boileau is a great choice if you don't mind having to take the metro to central Paris (15mins). It is within zone 1, so staying there doesn't add to the ticket price. The closest station is Exelmans, but it is also only 5mins from Porte St Cloud, where you have supermarkets, bakeries, take-aways etc (food market at weekends). It is... more

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the Parc des Princes without knowing much about the area. While it was indeed well located for the stadium (a 15 minute walk) it also turned out to be a nice area with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. It is near the metro as well so you can easily get... more
