There was little hanging room even for only 3 nights stay and particularly with winter coats etc.

Our room was a bit small (no closet or dresser, there is a clothes hanging rack and shelf),

My only complaint was not enough hanging and storage space so we had to keep a lot in suitcases.

On the negative side, the room was really small with no closets.

The only problem was lack of closet and draw space in The room.

My only real gripe is that there is no storage in the room; we had an open hanging area with about 6 coathangers, and one shelf, between two adults.

First up this hotel had no closet,no dressers and was considered 4+ rating.

The cons - no clothes closet with limited hangars and the room is a tad small

There’s no closet to hang your clothes, nor dressers or drawers.

The view was completely non-view-y :\ The room I was in didn't provide much in the way of a closet - more like some shelves and a space for hanging clothes (it looked trendy and quirky,

No drawers for clothes, no closet just a tiny rod to hang stuff.

Like, there's no closet to hang your clothes, nor dressers/drawers.

One minor complaint was, a bit more hanging space for clothing was needed,

Only issue is that in the standard rooms there is a lot of hanging space for clothes

There was a closet with approx 18" of clothes hanging space & some cubes for storage.

Would have liked a little more wardrobe space,

Rooms don't have proper wardrobes which is a little odd

One thing I would say is that room we had was quite small and there isn't a lot of storage in the room, only a canvass wardrobe

Very little storage which meant only one of us could empty clothes and try to find space to put items.

but not large: bed, desk, open style rack/shelves for clothes and bathroom with full size shower. Room had a wall mounted TV, ihome clock radio, in-room safe and mini frig with complementary non-alcoholic beverages, or space to put your own F&B (with several min-marts and a supermarket within a 2 block walk.)

Towels were a hit and miss ~ some days no wash clothes, some days no hand towels.

Any longer might have been slightly challenging given the very limited places to hang and put clothes -

Our only issue was finding enough room to hang up clothes.

but had shelves in room to put clothes. 5.

but small and very, very little place for hanging clothes or putting clothes away.

And there was no dresser with drawers for my clothes.

but she like to have drawers to put clothes in.

Only a couple of metro stations away from Gare du Nord.

but perfectly formed hotel in a great location just 10 minutes from Gare du Nord and equally well placed for all the sights due to the metro being a short 4 minute stroll away.

Staff is Sympathic, rooms are comfortable and nice decorated, good breakfast with good choices, great service, central location with good connection to Metro and Gare du Nord, in summary excellent choice

While the ordinary rooms are definitely small, which is often the case in Paris, it had excellent service, was very clean, the room was wonderfully quiet, had all the relevant amenities, and the hotel was extremely well placed for Gare du Nord (just 4 Metro stops away), and for all the places we wanted to go to in the 1st, 2nd, 8th and 17th.

Just few minutes from Chatelet/ Gare du Nord and on the main exit way to Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The hotel is a short 20 minute walk from Gare du Nord station, perfect if you are travelling across from London on the Eurostar.

The location was great, within easy access of The Louvre, Norte Dame and a relatively short Uber ride to Gare du Nord, Eiffel Tower etc..

The hotel is very conveniently located between Gare du Nord (if you're taking the Eurostar from London like us) and the Louvre area.

The Metro station is directly opposite which was a direct line both from Gare du Nord and to the centre of Paris so getting there from the Airport was simple as was getting around.

Close to Gare du nord , 4 stops on metro or a slow 20min walk .

The 20min walk from Gare du Nord was also extremely handy.

However, it is well-situated to visit all of them by metro, bus or taxi and it is also handily placed for the Gare du Nord for Eurostar travellers like us.

Very classy , excellent service , nice perks , would highly recommend 
Breakfast buffet was lovely 
Had free tea and doughnuts in the afternoon
Staff very helpful and booked restaurant for us
Very close to many restaurants 
Walking distance to river seine 
Handy for gare du nord and airport

It is pretty convenient location, especially when arriving from CDG and have a transfer in Gare du Nord.

but I made good use of the location: it's on line 4 direct to Gare du Nord, and very easy to get anywhere else from there.

I come every year for a specific conference and originally booked the hotel for its proximity to Gare Du Nord and the Les Halles area.

This hotel is in a great position for exploring Paris - short walk from Gare du Nord if you come by Eurostar.

Reception is manned 24/7 so no issues when we rolled in from a swing dance club in St Michel at 2am on a Sunday/Monday morning :-) Location very convenient, we walked everywhere (Gare du Nord, République, Marais, St Michel, Cité, Les Halles)

Handy for the Gare Du Nord and for accessing anything south of it like Notre Dame or the Latin Quarter.

We read about the tiny rooms in Paris and the bedbugs and hence approached the hotel with apprehension.

Rooms are a little small by US standards,

Rooms on the small side and could use some maintenance (drywall putty in bathroom was an eyesore and shelf falling down)

but larger room this time, because the basuc twin room was too small to move around in it.

As in most Paris hotels, rooms are relatively small

Cool hotel's theam (movies( 
The room was small

but thought it was still quite small and no balcony , but I understand most Paris hotels have small rooms.

The rooms are small, perfectly adequate for a shower and a bed.

Stayed 2 nites at 123 Sebastopol the rooms are small

I loved and enjoyed staying at this stylish hotel with friendly staffs.

The hotel staff is excellent and very hospitable.

The staff was extremably polite, friendly and effective.

Staff went above & beyond & were so kind & friendly.

but good to have the option) and the staff were so helpful even to lending us some transit cards so we could just charge them at the station to get around.

Great hotel, super friendly staff, thanks Adl for the check in and the amazing breakfast.

The reception staff I talked to most, Adyl, was warmly welcoming, helpful and informative and during my stay the staff were wonderful.

The staff at the front desk were very warm and welcoming.

The staff were incredibly polite and helpful.

Mourand was a gem of a host as were the rest of the staff.

It was super clean and the staff was very friendly and went the extra mile to make our stay special.

All the staff are very friendly and professional.

Free High Speed Internet (WiFi)

Fitness Center with Gym / Workout Room

Easy access to Gare St. Lazare, Gare du Nord, and Pont Nuef.

With just a little preplanning and research the buses were very easy to use; I used both google maps and RATP app, which helped with changes and delays (ex took the bus from Gare du Nord to hotel on bus 39 for €2).

Bus took us from train station Gare Du Nord to steps from hotel entrance and same bus  took us to Montparnasse (group of eight - all with checked bags) to another train station.

Excellent breakfast with table service for coffee,tea 
Location is excellent for acces to louvre, opera notre dame
We took 1 bus from gare du nord and were 50 meters from front door. Excellent.

Easily to reach from Gare Du Nord with bus 39 just under 30 minutes during high traffic.

The location is within walking distance to several popular attractions in Paris and it is only a 10-15 minutes taxi ride to the Gare du Nord.

The room was very small (compared to American-sized hotel rooms),

The room we had was small (to be expected in Paris)

While the room was small (it is Paris, so that is to be expected), it was very clean, well-organized, and fun.

My room was really small, I would have preferred to be in a smaller hotel

The rooms are very small (typical of Paris) -

We only gave 4 stars because the rooms a bit small.

I'm very familiar with Paris hotels and know rooms are small and expensive.

The front desk personnel (Princess and another young lady) were simply engaging and gave us directions to every place imaginable in the area.

The greeting, information, and hospitality were 5 star service!

Staff is absolutely first class with their hospitality!

All the staff of lobby desk and restaurant do their best.

On arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff at reception.

The staff was amazing, water and other refreshments were always waiting in my room.

Finally, the staff was very extremely attentive and always helpful.

Staff is friendly and very accommodating.

The whole staff was very friendly and accommodating.

The staff was delightful, the rooms were exceptionally comfortable, and the amenities provided an extra touch of luxury.

Each evening when we returned another cheerful greeting.

Best location ever the staff was super kind, the room was very beautiful decorated.

The staff were always ready to answer questions and help.

They were all very helpful and answering any questions we had.

Very friendly and supportive staff, very generous hotel, perfect location, very clean and comfy room.

Thanks to Stephanie Cohen and to the attentive and efficient staff of MALTE ASTOTEL

Hotel Malte - Astotel

Babysitting

although there is construction across the street, that can be noticed at times.

Across the Place, there was construction of a new multi-story building, so noise was a problem between around 8am to 5pm approx.

There was construction going on, so the small square facing the hotel was quite noisy at times.

The bedroom overlooked the opera area which is sadly under construction on the lower level

One thing it was not good is the front of the hotel(^_^;)It was middle of construction

but had wished they warned us about the construction.

The nearest metro station (Richelieu Drouot) was closed for construction,

The issue that compromised our stay was the construction.

My only complaint was that there was some hideous construction going on nearby that woke everyone up at 8 am with earth shattering crashing,

It's a rare thing, so imagine how disappointing it was on our 2 night stay in Paris, one of the few times we might have actually been able to sleep past 6:30am, to be woken up at 8am sharp by loud construction.

There was some construction going on out in front of the hotel during our visit, which made for a less than spectacular building facade and entrance,

but the sidewalk is still cut up, so I suspect there may be follow-on construction at a later date.

Would have been very quiet if not for the noise of road construction -no fault of hotel!

It spoilt breakfast having a pneumatic drill about 2 foot away from you and the noise was deafening.

I loved that they kept the original ceiling wool construction and just painted to match the interior.

There was some construction noise in the morning from an adjacent building and they play music in the hallways almost 24 hours a day it seemed.

Area is also very close to Gare Saint Lazare and Gare Du Nord trains stations

I have visited Paris a multitude of times over past 15 years

We chose La Maison Favart because it is a gentle 30 minute walk from Gare Du Nord and ideally situated to see all the best that the Paris city centre has to offer.

The hotel is located conveniently in the city centre and is walking distance to  all the major tourist attractions and the Gare Du Nord.

Very close to Gare du Nord, would love to come for a longer stay next time.

They made dinner reservations for us and even sorted out a dispute with a dodgy taxi driver who picked us up at Gare du Nord.

but it is not far from the Marais, Louvre etc so we found the location very convenient including for the Gare du Nord for our journey home.

The hotel is handy for gare du nord and is well-situated, close to opera garnier.

After a long queue at Gare du Nord (maybe worth using pre booking service?

This beautiful, bijou little hotel was extremely luxurious, beautifully decorated and comfortable, and had the advantage of being close both to the Gare du Nord and lots of the main attractions - 

Cons were that two of our rooms were quite small, the lift could be slow to arrive, and there was some kind of strong perfume in the lobby most days.

although rooms are a little small, the facilities and team are amazing.

The room was small and the balcony view was the wall of another building, so we didn’t use it.

I will say the rooms are a bit small by American standards,

As the floor space in the room is compromised by the main stairwell, we did find the shower room particularly small so perhaps ask for another room if space is an issue.

The fitness room is very basic - no hand weights, the room was on the small side and the air con wasn't up to much, so we wouldn't recommend staying there in the height of summer.

Our room was very small and definitely did not have a King size bed as advertised for all rooms.

but I we picked a small room since we were moving around town.

That being said, the room was very small, barely holding a queen side bed.

Rooms are small (typical for Paris hotels in my experience)

Here are some practical realities 
- Rooms are small.

The staff were very friendly and catered for all our needs.

The hotel was a lovely find, the staff were so helpful.

It is a lovely hotel, staff were very accommodating.

Couldn’t say anything more about how awesome the staff was.

Very cozy, the employees were very nice with the customers and the rooms were top notch.

I would like to say a huge ‘THANK YOU’ to all of the staff, especially Freddy, who made my husband’s 60th birthday surprise so special.

Freddy the concierge was absolutely fantastic!

Thank you so much for all your help, and your wonderful staff at La Maison Favart.

They staff was willing to help at all times and hours of the day.

The staff wear a smart uniform and could not be more helpful.

Beautiful bouquet hotel in the centre of Paris, the staff are very friendly and helpful.

The staff was five stars plus - they were all so nice and helpful (front desk, bellman, housekeeping, breakfast staff).

The concierge took our luggage and offered us a latte.

Front of House staff couldn't be more helpful especially with directions and great restaurants !

Friendly and helpful concierge greeted us.

The entire staff was professional and welcoming.

La Maison Favart

construction

Paid public parking nearby

Indoor pool

However jam dispensers constantly empty, pancakes and waffles cold and the breakfast room itself freezing!

Negatives
Main big problem in Paris heat- no refrigerated air conditioning, they only have evaporated air conditioning.

The air con could have done with being turned up a notch in the hot weather.

We were besieged with electrical issues due to a faulty iron…twice it blew all the power points on two separate days….ultimately fixed after a couple of requests.

As regards the rest of the hotel, the service at the reception desk was poor in respect that we had explained the air conditioning issue to one of the receptionists who was going to fix the matter whilst we were out.

The website, app, and every document related to this hotel reservation indicated A/C would be available.

The air conditioning wasn't working the room was sooo hot!couldn't open windows because of noise.

The air conditioner struggled to keep up with the warm summer days in Paris, so sleeping was a bit sticky,

Stuff tells me that "AC is the same in all rooms".

The night before we left they offered us to change rooms, providing not feedback on the AC.

On the first night we arrived the air conditioning wasn't working satisfactorily, we reported this to reception and the next day they said they had changed the filter and it was (very slightly) better,

After 3 nights of waking up drenched in my own sweat and having considered all options (virus, aircon, stress, etc) I finally checked the bed and realised Novotel, a 4 star hotel, uses plastified matrass covers right under the bed sheet.

No portable heater available even I requested for one.

This could be such a good hotel if it would only do something about it's heating system!

Even so, we had only one outlet that was working in the whole unit.

For a 4 star hotel, the a/c definitely wasn't up to scratch and the breakfast was a mess - they could arrange two areas especially during high season.

The only complaint I might have was the air conditioning was not too powerful

They came to check the a/c and they said that it would not get colder.

But the worse was a fire drill that launched the alarms at 120db and where we were instructed by hotel personnel to stay in our room for several minutes.

Cons: 
in the middle of construction - loud construction noises/banging/drilling starting 10am everyday for the entire 6 days we stayed.

Negatives:
1) Currently, there are some road constructions going on, so hard to get Uber to come by.

There was some construction on the streets and some roads were closed so maybe that's the reason why the driver couldn't get any closer or maybe he didn't know the right way.

Hopefully all this construction work will be done soon and this will no longer be an issue.

Someone wrote about some metro construction, it´s all done now, and you can acces the metro-rer-station right on the front door of the hotel (exit Porte m. de Navarre).

NB, there is no place for taxi to come  near to the hotel due to the construction going on  (No problem for the noise).

The only disappointments were the slow check in and the noisy construction work outside,

The only inconvenience was getting to the hotel by taxi due to the construction work which is almost complete.

Some construction in front of the hotel associated with the Metro station,

We found out that the construction has been ongoing for about a year.

There is still construction out the front of the hotel

Only downside is that it's under construction, so taxi cannot take you to front.

The construction around the hotel, which was a bit of a bummer, will be done by September.

The location's construction problem was not so bad because we didn't have massive suitcases.

The construction (for a metro station entrance/exit) in front of the hotel is almost over and should make it even better connected with the metro lines.

The roads surrounding the hotel are under construction which makes UBER and TAXI drop offs a little difficult

Location is very central, walking distance to Louvre, Notre Dame, Metro (Les Halles) and the only issue is that because of the construction to Les Halles, taxis couldn't drop us at the hotel

but only after construction is fully completed.

The metro station is opposite the main entrance and if you're arriving in Paris by Eurostar it's just one stop on an RER D or B train from Gare du Nord.
