L’hôtel des Arts Montmartre

This was a very cute, quaint hotel. The staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Montmartre is the district where Moulin Rouge is located. We were not on the main road but up 2 blocks. Montmartre is very hilly akin to San Francisco and the red light district is down on the main street and not up the hill where this hotel is located.
Nearby coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream, fish market, etc. — a very convenient place to stay and the Metro is right down the hill which you can take to reach anywhere in Paris.
There was free wifi in the lobby. They offered breakfast for 12 or so Euro but we elected to eat away from the hotel due to the breakfast being continental and not full.
The one drawback I could mention was that there was no ventilation in the room. They didn’t even provide an electric fan. The only air we got was when we opened our window or propped open our door with a stool to get air from the hallway. Our one room window opened to a center atrium and other hotel guests had their room windows open also. You could see right into the other rooms and see the people in their beds.
This is a non smoking hotel and while we were sleeping people downstairs would smoke in their rooms out of the windows and the smoke would come right into our room at night.
A concern I had was that upon check-​in they required a credit card number. We had prepaid for our hotel bill. They needed it in case they had to charge us for something. I don’t mind that they wanted the number but they wrote it down on a piece of paper which was a concern. When I expressed my concern the desk clerk assured me I could request the paper to be destroyed upon checkout. When I did request it the clerk (a different one) wouldn’t destroy the paper and said that the maid would have to check the room first. Since we left at 4 am the maid wasn’t there yet.
We flew to London and when we landed there was a call on my phone from France. I called back and it was Hotel Des Arts telling me they forgot to charge me for my breakfasts and asked if we checked out and when we were going to pick up our bags. ???
We were already in London, our bags in tow, and we had never eaten breakfast at the hotel. At that point, between the written card number and the phone call, I thought it best to call my credit card company and ask them to cancel the card and send me a new card number. Quite an inconvenience but, otherwise, the room was clean, clean towels everyday, sundries provided, beautifully made beds, nice staff.

Lovely hotel in Montmartre! This is one of my wife’s favorites so we stayed here in March for our getaway. Super courteous staff, the fact that they’re English speaking is helpful. Is tucked away in a small street by the Montmartre hillside. The rooms are the typical cozy European size rooms, but fashionable and very clean. Close to the metro stop and easy access to many restaurants and things to do in that party of town.

L’hôtel est agréable et né manqué pas de charme. En effet, situé dans un quartier animé proche de la cathédrale de Montmartre et de nombreux sites touristiques clés, vous saurez apprécier sa situation. La chambre était assez spacieuse et la salle de bain munie d’une baignoire. La vue sur les toits de Paris du 4 eme étage est appréciable. Le personnel est bienveillant et à l’écoute et une réception est ouverte 24h/​24. En revanche on regrettera qu’à 14:30 la chambre n’ait toujours pas été prête bien que la réception propose de garder vos bagages.

Friendly folk at last!
Such a beautiful place, but–
Parking is a bitch.

I was pleased with our stay here in December 2014. The room was small, but we rarely spent much time in the room. It was nice to have a fully enclosed shower and the water pressure was excellent.
The only downside is that the room next to us was being remodeled and they started early in the morning. When trying to get over jetlag it was a bit difficult to be woken up.
I had no problems with the staff and they were helpful when we needed a taxi, directions, or suggestions. The location was perfect to tour Montmartre and had easy access to the Metro.
I’d stay here again without pause.

Great hotel! Yes the rooms are a touch small, but this Europe. The staff was amazing, helpful, and the best I’ve experienced while staying not only in Paris but all of Europe. The room was clean and the neighborhood was the best part. I would absolutely stay here again!

This was my 7^th trip to Paris, but the first time I’d stayed in Montmartre (which is a lovely arrondissement — I’d definitely stay in this part of town again… but in a different hotel).
Clearly this hotel has gotten a lot of positive feedback so I think it meets the needs of a certain group of travelers… a group that I do not belong in. I prefer hotels that do not have mold growing in the shower; towels that are less than threadbare and a staff that at least pretends to be helpful.
Typically, I book my hotel at least a month in advance and I contact the concierge to work out some dinner reservations. In this case, I booked almost 2 months in advance. The concierge acknowledged my inquiry about a dinner reservation at Frenchie (notoriously difficult to get in to) but never followed up or responded to my followup emails.
My room was on the ground floor, off the interior courtyard. The bed was reasonably comfortable and it was actually a decent-​sized room. However, there was mold in the shower and I am convinced that the bed linens were not changed each day. The bath towels were old and scratchy. There is the requisite notice about saving water and reusing the towels, but it was very annoying to have the room cleaner take the dirty towels that I put in the shower (as directed) and just hang them up! I wanted fresh towels and did not get them.
Another thing, the hotel web page states that they have Wifi, but they do not specify that it is for a fee and you have to buy these phone card things from them in order to use it. My iPhone did not accept the code, for whatever reason, and no one could help me out.
I would not choose to stay at this hotel again.

A nice home away from home while staying in Paris on a quiet street in Montmartre. Great breakfast and polite unobtrusive staff. Nice dog lives here. It’s a little farther out from the center of the city, so for people who are on a whirlind tour this may be a bit out of the way for you. Still a nice place to visit if you would like to poke around the area of the 18^th arrondissement. Two metro stops nearby, Place Des Abesses or Place Blanche. IF you would like to skip the nightclub, Moulin Rouge, gentleman’s club crowd I suggest you get off at Abbesses. A very nice theatre across the street and enough little shops to fulfill your needs for a nice trip. The rooms are very nice and clean and well priced. I will definitely go back!

i really loved this hotel. the staff was so friendly and helpful, always giving great tips for places to have a drink, breakfast, etc. (yes, they do serve breakfast at the hotel, but there are plenty of other options in the area and i didn’t eat in the hotel). the room was clean and spacious enough (you’re not really going to hang out in your hotel room all that much, are you?). the elevator is cozy (read: small), but the stairs aren’t so bad. the lobby is very charming and sweet. .. and there’s a jukebox! i was warned by a few people that it was really close to the Red Light District and i should be careful, but i always felt safe (perhaps that’s my naïvetée showing through?). i mean, use some common sense, like you would anywhere else, and don’t be too surprised if you see some nudity and sex shops. .. other than that, it’s just a fun, bustling part of the city that shouldn’t be missed. i will definitely stay here again when i go back to Paris.

SUCH a cute hotel! got a deal on expedia. a pair of french doors open up to a small balcony and over look the streets of paris. nice variety of breakfast foods (included), cozy lobby with juke box playing edith piaff, access to mac and ipad, free wifi, friendly front desk staff, clean hotel and quiet.
minor complaints: the shower head didnt hang up/​was broken and had no shower curtain and the headboard of the bed was a pretty dusty.

Located in the red light district of Paris, a mere 2 blocks from the infamous Moulin Rouge, this tiny little hotel roomed me and my friend for 3 days.
The rooms were cozy to say the least, our beds were separated by about 2 inches of space. The bathroom housed a small tub and shower, sink, toilet and bidet. The complimentary breakfast was amazing. Fresh croissants, and other french pastries in freshly made butter and lavender honey to drizzle on top. There are plenty of places to eat near the hotel and several bars too. It’s walking distance (about a block) from a Metro station so you can get basically anywhere in the city from there.
Pigalle (aka Pig Alley) in Montmarte is Paris’ sex district. So expect your fair share of sex shops, cabaret’s, and scantily clad women in bars, and by scantily clad I mean literally in lingerie waiting for their next customer to approach them. Famous artist Toulouse Lautrec lived here as well as Picasso and Neumont. Visit the Musee d’Erotisme and an amazing museum featuring Salvador Dali called Espace Dali Montmarte.
There was good and bad about staying here, but I sincerely enjoyed it. I got to see the glory of Paris, and the down and dirty of it too.
The hotel was clean, but small, we were backpacking through Europe so I have a hefty pack on my back. I believe there was no elevator. We took the stairs, up 4 flights, and the stairway was so small my backpack made it impossible to turn much. So if you aren’t able bodied, avoid this place.
Also the streets are IMPOSSIBLY small. As a bus drove through we saw 5 guys get out and literally lift a car out of the way.

Situé dans la zone de lumière rouge de Paris, les seuls 2 blocs du fard à joues infâme de Moulin Rouge, cet petit hôtel minuscule roomed moi et mon ami pendant 3 jours. Les salles étaient confortables pour né pas dire plus, nos lits ont été séparées par environ 2 pouces de l’espace. La salle de bains a logé un petite baquet et douche, évier, toilette et bidet.
Le déjeuner élogieux était étonnant. Croissants frais, et d’autres pâtisseries françaises en miel nouvellement fabriqué de beurre et de lavande à bruiner sur le dessus. Il y a abondance des endroits à manger près de l’hôtel et plusieurs barres aussi. It’; la distance de marche de s (au sujet d’un bloc) d’une station de métro ainsi de vous peut obtenir fondamentalement n’importe où dans la ville de là.
Pigalle (aka ruelle de porc) dans Montmarte est Paris’; zone de sexe. Attendez-​vous ainsi à votre partie équitable des magasins de sexe, cabaret’; s, et femmes maigre plaqués dans les barres, et par maigre plaqué je veux dire littéralement dans la lingerie attendant leur prochain client pour les approcher. L’artiste célèbre Toulouse Lautrec a vécu ici aussi bien que Picasso et Neumont. Visitez le Musee d’; Erotisme et un musée étonnant comportant Salvador Dali ont appelé Espace Dali Montmarte.
Il y avait bon et du mauvais au sujet de rester ici, mais je l’ai sincèrement apprécié. J’ai obtenu de voir la gloire de Paris, et le bas et sale de lui aussi. L’hôtel était propre, mais petit, nous nous baladions par l’Europe ainsi j’ai un paquet lourd sur mon dos. Je crois qu’il n’y avait aucun ascenseur. Nous avons pris les escaliers, vers le haut de 4 vols, et l’escalier était si petit mon sac à dos l’a rendu impossible de tourner beaucoup. Ainsi si vous aren’; bodied capables de t, évitent cet endroit. Également les rues sont IMPOSSIBLEMENT petites. Pendant qu’un autobus conduisait à travers nous avons vu 5 sortir et soulever littéralement une voiture à l’écart.

L’hôtel des arts, j’en parle pour son emplacement.
Il est un excellent point de depart pour la découverte de la capitale et il vous permet aussi d’entrer dans l’esprit du 18e arrondissement.
L’Hôtel se situe à 10 minutes de la place du Tertre, ce qui est fort agréable…
Niveau accueil/​réception: c’est tout à fait convenable.
Si je devais conseiller un hôtel sans prétention, mais parfaitement situé dans le quartier, et dans vos moyens, je vous conseillerai celui-​ci!
