Bonne Nuit Paris

We are a Russian/​Greek couple who travel frequently and choose our accommodations carefully. (We prefer hidden gems over touristy mega-​hotels – no, thank you). We stayed at Bonne Nuit during a quick weekend getaway from nearby Amsterdam, which is only 3 hours away by high-​speed train. Worth it. Do it!
It was our first time in Paris and it was everything we dreamed it would be. Bonne Nuit and its wonderful hosts, Jean-​Luc and his wife, made it even more magical. We arrived around midnight, but Jean-​Luc stayed up to personally greet us and give us a brief, whispered tour of the beautiful house. We loved it from the moment we saw the lion-​head door knocker on the front door to the stone entry way to the winding, creaking staircase leading to the rooms.
We stayed in the Enclos des Templiers room, which overlooks the inner courtyard. The details in the room – the exposed wooden beams, the stone sink, and the absence of a TV – made it simply perfect. The mattress and pillows were perfection. We woke up both mornings to a light breakfast, personally served by Jean-​Luc and his wife in the dining area of the house. This is where we also met a couple from Florida and a girl from Hong Kong. Bonne Nuit obviously appeals to a global audience and we could see why!
One of the best parts of Bonne Nuit’s location is its proximity to the most amazing flea market we’ve ever been to. Mere steps away are some of the coolest, more interesting treasures you will find anywhere. This flea market is simply spectacular and is worth at least two days’ time, if you have it. No joke. We bought several postcards here and Jean-​Luc was kind enough to mail them for us after our departure since we left on a Sunday and the post office was closed. So sweet! True hospitality.
The B&B is very close to the République metro stop and from there, you can easily criss-​cross the entire city. A wonderful stay, through and through. You will definitely get your «bonne nuit’s rest» here! ;-)

I stayed here in October 2013 and I can’t believe how lucky I was. The house is so interesting and full of beautiful things. Jean-​Luc is a sweetheart, so justifiably proud of the 30 years of work he & his wife have put into the place. If I remember correctly despite the jet lag, he said the original building dates to 1690. I would stay here again the next time I go to Paris. It’s very conveniently located close to Republique metro which has several lines coming into it.

We stayed at Bonne Nuit Paris for a week in October 2009 on our honeymoon. For an authentic Parisian experience, this is the real deal. It’s located in the 3^rd arrondisement in the Marais neighbourhood, which is considered a fashionable, artsy area of the city, close to the Metro and walkable to tons of landmarks. The owner, Jean-​Luc, is a terrific host and will make you feel instantly at home. Rooms are cozy and comfortable and reasonably priced. We loved our breakfasts every day — fresh croissants, baguette, and excellent coffee every morning. It’s a lovely place to stay and we would absolutely stay there again!
