A charming 3-star gem between Gare du Nord and Montmartre, blending retro allure, warm service, and modern comfort.
Description
Tucked away in the heart of Paris’ 9th arrondissement, Hôtel du Pré is housed in a beautiful late 19th-century Napoléon III–style building. With 40 rooms of various types (single, double, twin, triple), the hotel offers sober yet charming interiors that blend classic Parisian character with modern touches. Some rooms overlook the quiet inner courtyard, while others face the lively Rue Pierre Sémard.
The hotel's history is closely tied to its location—situated between Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est, just minutes from Montmartre and the Opéra Garnier. It attracts both business travelers and tourists seeking an authentic Parisian experience. All rooms are soundproofed and equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, a safe, electric kettle, and a private bathroom with a shower or bathtub and hairdryer. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
Each morning, guests can enjoy a generous buffet breakfast served from 7:30 to 10:00 am for €12. The spread includes fresh pastries, baguettes, cereals, yogurts, cold cuts, cheeses, coffee, tea, and juice. Children under 12 eat free. In the evening, the hotel bar opens from 6:00 pm to 1:00 am, offering a cozy and relaxed setting to unwind with a glass of wine, a beer, or a soft drink.
One of the hotel's standout features is its warm and attentive service. The 24-hour front desk offers luggage storage and multilingual staff who speak French, English, and German. An airport shuttle service is available upon request for an extra charge, and secure parking nearby can be arranged (from €30 to €55/day). While there are elevators to all floors, the hotel is not fully adapted for wheelchair users.
The atmosphere is friendly and intimate, with the feel of a small, family-run hotel and the professionalism of a modern establishment. Hôtel du Pré caters to a diverse clientele—solo travelers, couples, and families—thanks to its flexible room configurations, soundproofing, and baby-friendly amenities such as free cots.
Guest reviews frequently praise the cleanliness, peaceful ambiance, and excellent location (3 minutes to Poissonnière metro station, line 7; 9 minutes to Gare du Nord on foot). The hotel consistently offers excellent value for money.
A charming anecdote: many guests love to relax in the bar lounge after a day exploring the lively streets of Montmartre or shopping around the Grands Boulevards. The elegant Haussmann-style façade, with its signature red awnings, is often the first thing that enchants visitors upon arrival.
