Hôtel des Métallos

I’d say generally this is a good all round option for a business or leisure trip. The location is excellent, within 3 minutes of the Oberkampf Metro, and it’s surrounded by decent restaurants and other handy shops. What that all means is your trip can be fairly effortless and you can spend time doing what you want rather than trying to cope.
The ‘concept’ I suppose is directed at travellers who want exactly that kind of minimal fuss, fair comfort and great location. Fixtures and fittings here are all good quality and, other than my safe, everything worked for me.
Room cleaning is quick, efficient and discreet. It was nice each day to come back to a spotlessly cleaned room. Towels and toiletries are replaced daily. Staff in general were very helpful and pleasant and all spoke English.
However, as noted by another reviewer, it does fall down a little on ‘extras’ (some might say ‘essentials’) like a small fridge (tho’ noise could an issue in the smaller rooms), a kettle, cups, A/​C, and such like. It’s nice being able to make a simple tea or coffee in your room rather than have to go downstairs and get one from a machine. Likewise, it can work out expensive having to eat at cafes and restaurants because there’s nowhere to store simple food items and keep them fresh for a day or two. After all, eating out in Paris, even for average meals, tends to be a little pricey with risk of disappointment. In Summer I also imagine the small rooms could get hot. I was here over Christmas and the room still felt too warm. In Summer it could be unbearable.
Thankfully my stay was pretty quiet, but with rooms being so close together it could get noisy with the wrong guests and some bad luck. Yes, they say the rooms are well sound proofed, but my experience was that only goes so far. Doors opening and closing are noisy due to the mechanism. No worse than most places but do pack earplugs if you’re a sensitive sleeper just in case.
All things considered tho’, for my five night stay, I was happy enough. I might well stay again if I went back to Paris, but probably not during a hot Summer.

I stayed here a few weeks back. I really have no complaints. The room was small but clean. Completely fine for an 8 day stay. My only complaint really was my room didn’t have a small fridge for drinks and such. I would have liked a little something to keep a small amount of things cold. Snacks and the like.
All of the staff I dealt with were courteous and helpful. Most spoke perfect English which is so helpful.
The location is excellent. It was in what I consider walking distance of so much but the metro is just a short walk away. There is also a nearby street market open nearby Tuesday’s and Fridays. (This is also where a small refrigerator would have come in handy)
I would definitely stay here again if I find myself in Paris again.

This was a brilliant place to stay, the rooms and hotel is new and modern. Sure some of the rooms are small by Paris standards they are fine and the shower is an amazing size one of the best features of the room! The shower was big enough to have a ménage à trois if you were having that type of holiday.
The beds are super comfy and it’s a great place to stay because of all the awesome locations to eat and drink in the area.
