Hôtel le Chat Noir

First things first, this hotel is surrounded by sex shops and the erotic museum but that said we did feel safe here even after dark and there are some fabulous restaurants, brasseries and bistros within a short walk. Chat Noir is only about 150m from the Moulin Rouge too. It’s all so very Parisian.
Only about 100m from a metro station this hotel is ok, for Paris it is really good value, we booked online at about € 100 per night, the room rate advertised on reception is € 500 per night. For € 100 it represents great value for its location (Paris, not the red light district)
The rooms were spotlessly clean, the bed was very comfortable, the shower was amazing, a huge overhead waterfall shower and a hand held shower head if you don’t want to wash your hair all in a large (enough for 2) shower cubicle.
Yes it is noisy but you’re city center, we sleep with a windows open so we was disturbed by noise every night. If you keep your windows closed it is double glazed so will be much quieter.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, the whole area feels safer than the Eifle tower or Notre Dame as we were not approached by anyone trying to scam us out of our money in the area around our hotel. Ok yes there are a lot of sex shops and they have «lingerie» in the windows but it’s Paris, if you’re a couple then just they are not a problem, and if you think Paris is a place you take children to then book somewhere else. In my opinion Paris is an adult destination anyway.
This is a nice hotel, in a convenient location for restaurants and metro with lovely staff and comfy beds at a great price. I’d stay here again.

First time in paris. 3 days, the only place we had dinner. They speak English, service was excellent. Wide variety of food selection. Must have the fish and chips. Thanks for all the good times!
.

This place really was a cool spot! Live music. Good food. Very lively. We ordered the steak and Rivoli and both items were good!
I would recommend this as a try. Sadly the other poor reviews are due to this place getting mixed up with a shitty hotel!

This hotel is perfectly place in the heart of Paris. Right across the street is the subway, very helpful. The hotel has a great staff that are extremely helpful. I had some items to send to the states and needed a box. The manager emptied one of her storage boxes so I could use it. Awesome!
The rooms are small though very comfortable, internet speed was great and the showers are fun and well designed.
A few doors down from the Moulin Rouge in a strange little neighborhood. It’s not exactly the red light district. But plenty of adult book and video stores if that your thing.
If not, then enjoy all the wonderful cafes and restaurants. The open air markets are to die for. I really enjoyed my stay and will be back soon.

Let me start off by saying that this hotel has two separate Unilocal listings, so when I went to check out the reviews, I didn’t see all of them. Had I seen them, I may have rethought staying here.
The hotel itself is pretty good for the price you pay. Free wifi, which is always a plus. Decently sized room and bathroom. Smells like cat pee though, so I guess they really wanted to stick with the whole cat theme. I’d like to say you get used to it, but you don’t.
Had this hotel been in a different part of the city, I’d def stay here again. Unfortunately I didn’t do my homework, and I only realized that this was located in the heart of paris’s red light district when our airport cab dropped us off in front of it. You’re literally surrounded by sex shops and strip clubs everywhere you look. The museum of erotic sex is actually right next door. So that was interesting…
The hotel staff is shocking great with their English, and did a wonderful job helping my friend and I navigate our first trip to Paris. They also make sure that there are security guards outside the hotel at night, ensuring the safety of guests in what might be considered a shady neighborhood.
I’d like to make it clear that even though I’m sure shady things might happen in this neighborhood, I really never felt unsafe. There are ways plenty of people out and about, and mostly friendly
Be aware though that at night, it’s LOUD. If you’re used to a city setting, you might be ok but you’ll still notice the noise, believe me. Think of it as your own personal sound machine lol

This hotel is fantastic. Although the surroundings are somewhat questionable (Erotic Museum?), the location is convenient and close to everything. The area is also safe, as I went on many evening walks and I was never bothered by anyone. On the contrary, everyone I encountered was friendly and more than happy to steer me in the right direction when I got lost one or two times. Who says the French are unfriendly?
The room was very nice and clean, but the best part of my stay was the staff. They were kind, gracious, and overly-​accommodating. I was on vacation with my family, but still had a lot of school work that needed to get done during the trip. Every morning, I went to the hotel’s restaurant to work, and although I did not purchase any meals, I was always served with water.
The one downfall of the hotel is that they have a limited number of wireless passwords available, so only a certain number of people can use wireless at a given time. This was problematic when I finished a paper and had to email it to my professor. However, the front desk staff member was so kind that she let me use her computer to send my paper.
On another night, my family and I picked up some food for dinner from a nearby deli, and although the hotel restaurant was closed, the front desk staff allowed us to eat our goods in the restaurant.
This hotel was in renovation (and it still might be), and I was definitely hesitant to walk through the unmarked black doors next door to a strip club, but it was definitely worth it, and if I return to Paris, I would definitely stay there again. Merci!

The worst, most overprices hotel in Paris. GROSS, totally misleading advertising! This place is for perverts and sex addicts. This hotel is 1 block from the famous MOULIN ROUGE, and surrounded by several blocks of sex shops and bars. The hotel management is insensitive to guests. Unsafe neighborhood! We didn’t stay! We booked hotel online, in ERROR, due to misleading photos and information! We arrived in less than an hour, in SHOCK, and wanted a refund. But hotel would not budge and SCREWED us for 1 nights rate of USD125. This hotel claims its 4 star? We were laughing! THERE IS NO WAY ON THIS EARTH they are even a 2 star! This would have been a ghetto hotel in USA. And NO ONE at this hotel gave a crap! They were even insulted by our comments of the hotel being unsafe, and nowhere near 4 star. Check out the hotel PLAZA TOUR EIFFEL, way different, and that one IS a 5 star in our book… for the same price?! DO NOT BOOK this hotel, its not for the average traveller, and definitely NOT for children, young adults and families/​friends. YOU CAN do way better than this place for the same amount of money or less! Don’t be fooled by their website descriptions on all the sites THEY subscribe to, who will let them post anything about this hotel they like, and of course they will advertise 4 stars… and the reviews… what a joke… we were so sure their entire family went online to review them. DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! This place will NOT help you, will NOT care about you or your hard earned money! PLEASE listen to us!!! We will NEVER go back there!

A nice hotel with fair prices. I don’t know if I would call it a design hotel, but I certainly liked the Steinlen-​themed elements. Four out of five employees we met were very friendly and the breakfast was good.

Estive aqui no Chat Noir em 2003, antes que fosse reformado e virasse um hotel boutique. O que posso dizer? O trabalho foi excelente!
Se você não se importar com o clima profano do Pigalle, aproveite!

After honeymooning in Paris in 2010 and stumbling upon the deliciousness of the Chat Bistro, we made it our mission to come back and stay at this boutique hotel in Montmartre as we absolutely adored this arrondissement. Thanks to TripAdvisor I knew to book room 704 (the room with the balcony and the view of the Eiffel Tower!) and for the price of 20E extra a night. That deal couldn’t be beat.
We arrived at the hotel after a long flight from Boston and when we arrived at 8:00am they said the room wasn’t ready. No worries, we got there early. We walked around Montmartre for hours and by the time 1:00pm rolled around we were absolutely exhausted. Though the front desk woman didn’t wasn’t overly thrilled to let us to our room, she did. We then took a power nap on one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept on.
How did our seven days go? I’ll break it down.
The good: Location, beds, décor, room 704, some of the staff, and our beautiful balcony view.
The bad: Housecleaning service never refilled anything, the shower was a bit too weird (no curtain or glass in a stand up tub), some of the staff, and the breakfast wasn’t worth the price.
For seven nights at a discounted hotel rate to be in the heart of Montmartre with some of the most amazing sights and restaurants at your fingertips… you can’t go wrong. I’d stay here again and again.
Tips:
Don’t be afraid of the district, once you’re there for a few days they recognize your face and leave you alone.
Tell your cab driver to drop you at the Moulin Rouge — it’s much easier than the U-​turn to the hotel.
Eat the crepes at the corner of the street right next to the Moulin Rouge (not the crepes in the purple building across from it).
Go to the underground Jazz club a few blocks away «Autour de Midi». You will not be disappointed.

Super schönes, sauberes, perfekt gelegenes Hotel. Wir hatten ein Deluxe Zimmer im 6. Stock. Einfach nur schön. Tolles Bett. Nachts ruhig trotz der zentralen Lage gleich neben dem Moulin rouge. Es fehlte lediglich ein Duschvorhang. Frühstück lässt wirklich keinen Wunsch offen. Personal stets freundlich und hilfsbereit. Preis-​Leistung voll i. O. mit rund 130EUR die Nacht für das Doppelzimmer. Wir kommen sicher wieder! Eine absolute Empfehlung.

The black Cat hotel (Le chat Noir Design Hotel, everything done out in red and black, right next to the sex museum) was an interesting choice, just down the road from the Moulin Rouge, but this was Paris and well the red light district,(they do lock the doors at night and there is a buzzer answered by the lone reception staffer to let you in). Not that it was a problem although having rooms facing the road was not ideal, as the noise on Friday and Saturday nights even with the windows closed was a little annoying. As I said this was Paris and accommodation in Paris is expensive at the best of times, so I am not sure if this hotel was good value for money, the rooms were very small, the breakfast very average and well, we have definitely stayed in better. Whenever anyone came back to their rooms late at night (which was very common) the room doors slammed so loudly, the shutting mechanism was like it was spring loaded, it always woke us up and I am not a light sleeper. The hotel is quite a distance from all the tourist attractions that are to be seen, although the metro nearby is handy. the area of Montmartre up behind the hotel is great though, lovely shops and patisseries and worth spending time looking around. I would however stay in another hotel/​area next time.

Modern, clean, welcoming little hotel in a convenient location! I’d be up for another stay at Chat Noir. Probably not the best accommodation if travelling with children, as even in the very short walk from the Metro station to the hotel there’s a lot of smut encountered porn and adult novelty shops, strip clubs, hookers This is Toulouse Lautrec land. Amid the neon glow of Pigalle and mere steps from the famous Moulin Rouge, the foodie shopping haven of Rue Lepic and more, Chat Noir’s an affordable, friendly and comfortable place to set up your base camp.

Tres bien situé… Parfait pour découvrir la rive droite de Paris. Les chambres sont simples, propres et originales

Das Chat Noir ist 2006 komplett renoviert worden. Die Zimmer sind freundlich und alle im typischen Stil des Le Chat Noir — dem ersten Kabarett am Montmartre — eingerichtet — mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Für französische Verhältnisse wartet hier ein sehr üppiges Frühstück auf den Gast. Die Lage mitten in der Liebesmeile am Boulevard de Clichy tut der Atmosphäre keinen Abbruch — im Gegenteil. Wer einen außergewöhnlichen Paris-​Aufenthalt erleben möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Möglichkeiten einen Imbiss einzunehmen oder ein nettes Abendessen bietet nicht nur das hoteleigene Restaurant, sondern auch das reichlich bestückte Umfeld des Hotels.

Hotel agréable
L’accueil est vraiment sympathique, le service est de qualité. Les chambres sont spacieuses, la déco est soignée. Vraiment rien à redire, sinon une adresse à conserver pour un nouveau séjour. Bön rapport qualité/​prix. Juste un petit bémol, du fait de la situation de l’hotel, la nuit peut etre un peu bruyante avec les passages de voitures et klaxons.
