K+K Hotel Cayré

Pros: Good location (easy walk to the Eiffel Tower among other places), friendly staff, good value, clean rooms, trendy, quiet, amazing blackout curtains, business center (handy when you have to print a train ticket or boarding pass or whatever).
Meh: Wi-​fi (although it’s free).
Wha?!: The room keys. Seriously, they’re huge. Never had anything quite like it.
Cons: Alternating shower temperature.
We stayed here over Christmas and had a good experience. Prompt housekeeping, trendy interior, etc. Our room wasn’t the biggest room I’ve ever stayed in in Paris, but it was fine for our purposes. The shower was a little annoying with the alternating temperature, but that is my only major gripe. Even though the hotel was open on Christmas and housekeeping was there and did a great job, there was no laundry service that day or any bank holidays, but this is a very minor issue. Cabs and Über were easy to get with the location.
All-​in-​all a nice hotel and a great value.

Such a great place to stay in Paris! Very conveniently located next to the metro and in a very nice area to just get lost in and explore. The hotel itself is very nice and the staff were all friendly and helpful. On our second night there, one of the staff at the concierge desk/​reception realized we were entitled to a free bottle of wine (which we didn’t even know!) and immediately had a bottle sent to our room. Breakfast was included and was delicious. Nice sampling of meats, cheeses, pan au chocolates, crossaints, eggs and other various goodies. Delicious coffee with breakfast, staff made frequent rounds and always made sure we were satisfied. Rooms were spacious compared to what you typically expect in Paris and were very clean. And as others mentioned, can never go wrong with free wifi and champagne with breakfast! Definitely will stay here again on my next trip to Paris!

Great place to stay in Paris. Everyone was accommodating and helped us with the logistics such as making sure the taxi will arrive on time. The hotel was next to the metro station which makes everything convenient. They made sure to give us our free bottle of champagne when we arrived to the hotel. It is conveniently located near the major landmarks, restaurants, and supermarkets. The breakfast buffet was good, perfect to fuel up before exploring Paris. Overall the experience was great here in the hotel.

Let’s get the important basics out of the way.
Free Wifi, plus a business center
Free Breakfast– WITH CHAMPAGNE (I’d double check this, but it was included for us)
Extremely Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Gym (small, but I’ve seen worse in the US)
Great location
We did not have a standard room, but one step up and it was incredibly spacious based on what I’d expected for a European hotel room. We had two twin beds, desk, sofa and two additional chairs with a bistro table. We were on the top floor so we did have a slopped roof, but we are short so it was a non issue. Bathroom was fine, aside from lack of counter space. I often see less aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces in U.S. Hotel bathrooms.
We could see the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coure Basillica and Hotel Invailides from our room.
I like to walk if possible when I’m traveling, and the location of the K+K certainly gave us that option. If we were headed somewhere further, there is a Metro stop directly across from the hotel entrance and a taxi stand across the intersection.

Just came back from our first trip to Paris. Hotel Cayré made our visit wonderful. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and it sure didn’t hurt that everyone spoke English. Hotel was just outside a Metro entrance and is practically within walking distance from all the major sites.
We did not try the restaurant, though. Too busy site seeing. Cafes were just outside the door.
Would definitely stay here again.

All the way five for me! Excellent location and nothing can beat that! Walking distance from some of the major landmarks. very well connected as the metro is just opposite the hotel. We just ordered the food once and it was average. The staff is really helpful and very polite.
The rooms seemed fairly small when we arrived but since our stay was so comfortable I didn’t even notice it later. Housekeeping is perfect and when we got back the room was all done. It’s a sweet happy hotel so be sure that you’ll b taken care of here!

I have been in Paris, several times and finally I found a place that has great service as well as a good standard for accommodations from mink bar to a bathtub and the best part is that is very affordable… The staff it’s really friendly great breakfast and a perfect location … Literally within reach of everything you want to see in Paris, subway station is right outside or you can rent a bike also right outside …
I will definitely come back to this place from now on no more looking around where to stay while in this fab city !

The rooms, staff, and location were fabulous.
Staff was more than accommodating in helping us find local restaurants aside from my Unilocal spots (Remi was especially fabulous for this).
It is located near basically everything a girl could want (shopping of course). Although it is located on Raspail it is an easy 1 minute or less walk to St. Germaine where there are lots of shops, places to eat, metro stations, and an OpenTour stop which will take you to all the local tourist stops. It is also located just across the Seine from the Louvre and around the corner from Musee d’Orsay.
Overall I had a truly great experience here and will definitely suggest that anyone visiting Paris stay here.

Small rooms. Tiny tiny bathrooms. Small elevator. And as one Unilocaler noted, you have to hold the on button on the hair dryer the entire time. A tad inconvenient and hazardous. There is a tiny fitness center as well in the basement, you walk everywhere in Paris so no one was ever in there when I went. Breakfast is a nice buffet, with meats, champagne, strong coffee, cheese, fruit, and vegetables. I love and missed vegetables. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our rooms were not ready when we arrived, even though we had prearranged such months in advance for a certain prix — coming from overseas, long flight, waiting two hours through customers, another hour commute so it was very annoying to say the least that we had to wait for at least another hour for a room.

The best thing about this hotel is its location. Less than 100 meters from the Rue du Bac Metro station. It is within walking distance (15 minutes) to Musee Orsay and the Siene river. Staff is friendly and perfectly happy to speak English and they understand bad French as well, should you decide to bring back your high school French. Rooms and bathrooms are clean but are small by American standard. Bed linens are high quality. I would go back.

Room is clean and neat. Bed very comfortable. View not so great. We are in room 219. Faces small court yard and a building wall. Rooms facing main st have great tree lined view!
Breakfast isn’t necessarily the best but its convenient. 29/​person. It was very busy on a wed around 830a. Staff pleasant.
Hair dryer needs you to hold the «on» button down the entire time using so if you use a brush at the same time as the dryer, you’ll want to bring your own dryer.
Bring powers trip if you want to charge cameras, computers, etc. Outlets differ from USA. Front desk had 1 outlet converter for our power trip. You may want to bring your own.
Tips/​info
You don’t get water very often at meals. Plan on buying your own bottled water. They don’t automatically bring it like in u.s. And if you do want it plan on paying for it. Not much tap served at restaurants. Sparkling is more common here FYI.
Servers won’t bother you or check on you. Once your food has been served they won’t be back unless you grab them.
Everyone drinks coffee and wine. That’s about it.
Lots of smokers still.
You’ll find people who speak some English and some that don’t. But everyone was always polite.
We rode the metra once and got on in the wrong direction. Also had a drunk guy pass out in seat next to us. Walked mostly. Feet very tired!
Viator is a great company that offers tours. We went to Versailles w/​them and another that included the louvre (guide walked us quickly to main pieces) seine river boat lunch cruise (best part of trip) and notre dame (guide was friendly but didn’t take us in just dropped us off and waited. Lines were so long we just walked around outside.)
We were here 7 days. Next time I’d only stay 3 – 4 and then travel other countries.

Solid hotel in a great location! We stayed here for four days on vacation.
Located on a somewhat busy street, the room ended up being quiet and peaceful. Some of the positives included:
–Clean, updated and modern room
–Work area with a spacious desk
–The mattresses were surprisingly comfortable (with the exception of the rollaway bed we had which was awful!)
–Free WiFi (a little slow but definitely nothing to complain about!)
–Small courtyard in the middle of the hotel
–Excellent housekeeping staff
–Free breakfast in the morning (at least with our rates)
–Front desk staff was generally friendly and tried their best to be accommodating
–Large business center
Some negatives:
(I don’t mean to rant, but just some particularities you should know if you are going to stay here)
–Rooms are definitely on the smaller side (this is expected for Paris though)
–The bathroom is TINY! Make sure you are careful getting in and out of the shower/​bathtub as it is slippery and a large step down
–The morning breakfast was convenient, but it was pretty much all pre-​made pastries, some random sliced fruit, some nasty cooked sausages, and coffee. Nothing to rave about
–Like others mentioned, you have to leave your key at the front desk every time you leave and then pick it back up (usually a long line). Not that secure and just plain annoying. Keys are hard to operate at first too (not that big of a deal though)
–Elevators were slow and tiny (the stairs are great exercise though!)
–While the front desk staff was pleasant, they weren’t too interested in helping with concierge type services like booking tours and stuff. They ended up telling us to go look up the information in the business center most of the time
Overall, a great hotel with a good location in Paris. Hopefully I will return sometime!

It’s a clean and pretty nice hotel. It’s got a perfect location, but 435EUR per night is way to much for this place. That’s way I dropped one star.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in mid-​May 2013 while on our honeymoon. The room was a good size (the bathroom was on the small side but still functional and they give you slippers, which I always appreciate). The gym, although very small, was the best we experienced on our trip (we stayed in four different hotels in France and Italy). The buffet breakfast was amazing – probably the best we had the entire trip. The coffee was fantastic. As others have said, the location of this hotel can’t be beat – right next to the Rue de Bac stop and within walking distance of most landmarks.
The one minor negative is that the hotel was aware that we were on our honeymoon but did not acknowledge this in any way. All the other hotels where we stayed on our trip left very nice notes and wine/​champagne/​other snacks in our room.

The K&K is an unbelievably convenient hotel — it is literally steps from the #12 Rue de Bac metro. I confess, it is over-​priced (the website might lead you to believe it’s a boutique hotel which would justify the price, but it’s not exactly boutique — it has a tiny fitness center, two computers which constitute the «business center,» and a tiny restaurant), but every time you walk five steps from the metro to the hotel, you will thank yourself for staying here. The other big plus is breakfast in the morning (which is included in the price of the room — at least for us it was) — croissants, fruit, coffee, tea, cereal, hardboiled eggs, smoked salmon, and of course, champagne. It’s nice to simply saunter downstairs for a quick and delicious breakfast. The rooms are comfortable (extra points for a very comfortable bed), clean, and quiet (though not particularly spacious) with free reliable wifi.
The minuses: a number of folks mentioned friendly staff– I found the staff here a bit lukewarm and sometimes not as helpful as I would have liked (i.e. asking questions about best routes from the hotel to the airport often yielded unhelpful shrugs rather than definitive answers and checking in to breakfast every morning was often more awkward than friendly); a very small elevator which can create some serious traffic jams at busy times; and the quirky key system (the keys are huge and work by magnet– I think– so you are asked to drop your key in the lobby any time you are leaving the hotel. While the staff is really efficient about returning your key, there are times when there are a few people waiting to get their keys back). But these were small drawbacks that were far outweighed by the hotel’s comfort and its amazing location.

This hotel was ranked as one of Travelocity’s top picks. I’m one to always do my research and not impulse buy, I checked several sites and read independent reviews of the hotel. They were spot on. This was a great hotel, great value in a perfect location. The staff was very friendly as well as english-​speaking.
The hotel is set on a beautiful, tree-​lined street in Saint-​Germain-​des-​Prés close to shopping and restaurants.
The room was very comfortable and spacious for euro standards. The bathroom was a little small, but had everything we needed. The shower/​tub was spacious and I loved the built-​in bathroom shelves so I could unpack and organize all of my toiletries.
The closet had sufficient space to unpack all of our clothes and we took advantage of the room safe to store our valuables and passports.
Breakfast was included with our room and it was a full spread buffet with waiter service. They had pretty much anything you could want – and it was tasty – pastries, fruit, eggs, bacon, cured meats and cheese, cereal, oatmeal, champagne, coffee, etc.
An added benefit about this hotel is the metro stop (rue du Bac) and bike share rental station practically at the front door (it’s actually across the street).
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great hotel in Paris.

I would stay at K+K again. Its in a good location not far from many of the museums and cafes. The rooms and public spaces are well kept and the staff was accommodating and generally friendly. Very user friendly hotel if you do not speak French well or at all as most of the staff could speak English and were very patient. The rooms are on the small side, but not far out of step from any other European hotel I have stayed in. Breakfasts are fabulous and a great way to start the day. The lounge area in the lobby was a great place to socialize and I had a great time meeting new people from all around the world after a day of sight seeing. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and sedate at night which is OK by me.

nice place in paris to stay. really nice staff. rooms are a bit small but nicely keep.

This hotel is quaint and cute. But I can’t get the keys off my mind… they are HUGE and you have to drop them into a slot every time you leave the hotel, and then pick them up every time you come back. A little odd.
Breakfast is delicious here and so is the coffee.
The customer service was friendly but nothing extraordinary. But for Paris, friendly IS extraordinary.
The rooms were OK but I wouldn’t consider this really a «boutique» hotel.

Remarkably good litle hotel, owned by German brothers with branches in Vienna, Budapest, etc. The staff provides flawlessly professional services and they all speak good English. The large and XLNT quality breakfast buffet price is included with the room. That’s a great value. Location couldn’t be better because the metro station is directly in front of the hotel. Some of the best boutiques and shopping in the 7^th Arr starts across the street and the famous LeBonMarche department store and episserie is only 10 minutes walk. Hotel is super convenient to the Musee D’Orsay, Louvre, and the tiny Maillol museum is on the street behind the hotel. I’ve stayed there 3 times and can’t think of a single complaint. Understand however, that even a superior room at any 4star hotel in Paris is tiny by USA standards. Don’t expect Venetian Las Vegas suites anywhere in Paris.

The K+K advertises itself as a boutique hotel. Well, not quite, but still, this was a really good hotel, especially for Paris.
It is located at the edge of the St. Germaine area and the location, while not the liveliest neighborhoods, is really good and central place to stay. On the relatively quiet side, there is a Metro literally a stone’s throw away [Metro Rue Du Bac]. It is very, very convenient to go to a lot of sights and it is within walking distance to the Musee D’Orsay, the Louvre, the Hotel Invalides, and St. Sulpice.
The hotel itself is nice, but then again, I’m a total hotel snob. I haven’t stayed at any other Paris hotels and unless you’re willing shell out at least $ 500, I read that Paris hotels tend to be on a very small side and not that great. So, we were happy that this hotel was really convenient from the Metro, it was a big enough room [still very small], and the hotel staff are all very helpful and nice.
The odd thing about this hotel is the room keys. They are gigantic! You can’t take it with you and you need to drop it off at the front desk. There is free WIFI in the lobby, which I wish they had just taken that a step further and provided WIFI in all the rooms. They do, however, provide free internet service in all the rooms with an internet cable, but we did not have a laptop with us.
The breakfast was good and plenty of breads, croissants, pain chocolates, fruits, and cereal. The coffee and teas are good as well.
All in all, a very good hotel, but I wouldn’t go so far to call it a boutique hotel. At least not the ones we had stayed at in New York and London. From the reviews from Tripadvisor, we were glad to have found this hotel, but just note that it is a quieter area than the Latin Quarter and St. Germaine, even though technically it is part of St. Germaine.
Good stay and safe travels!
