I was in a desperate state, we had booked the hotel Regina Montmartre (decent review on hotel.com should have checked TripAdvisor) as it was awful! ( we sat outside in a cafe at 10:30pm trying to find an alternate hotel nearby via trip advisor. Found one nearby and I went down to the Hotel Rochechouart The person on the night desk was wonderful, I was stressed he was funny, kind and respectful, his name is Lotfi . He juggled rooms after hearing how disappointed I was with the Regina Monmatre and we had a wonderful stay in Paris and I will say it was thank to being able to stay in a lovely clean and safe hotel. We learned that the hotel has an incredible history, it has a lovely restaurant, breakfast was fabulous, location amazing.

This was my first trip abroad since 2016, Paris is my happy place and Hotel Rochechouart reinforced that.

I love art deco so thd style and interiors of the hotel are what initially drew me in but the staff were so welcoming and attentive my memory of my stay is due to them.

Nothing was too much trouble, as a solo traveller and female I felt looked after and spent two evenings in the restaurant and bar. The cocktails were superb, Simone and Reda and all the hospitality team made my trip so memorable.

Also many thanks to the reception team for making me so welcome. I really wished I could have stayed longer

Sending love and gratitude to all the staff

Overall this isn’t a bad hotel, just not the nicest; but you can’t complain too much for the price point,

Cleanliness, ok. No major issues, but we’ve likely been spoilt in our previous hotel experiences so stains on the carpets, grimey bathrooms and toilet wasn’t expected.

Rooms are fairly small, but for Paris this is to be expected. Nice having the balcony overlooking Sarce Coer.

Rooftop has a great view, would be nice to have a few drinks up there in the evening but unfortunately it smelt quite bad up there.

Staff are all very friendly and happy to help.

My main gripe being that upon arrival I had to pay an additional €200 deposit (supposedly for the mini bar [which was empty], or for if we used the hotel restaurant) which we then were told would be refunded within 10 minutes of checkout; now to be told it’ll be back with us in 2-3 business days.

Overall the hotel is nice, area is about a 5 min walk to monmartre and Pigalle so you’re spoilt for choice with local eateries. Just make sure to budget for the additional cost with the deposit which isn’t advertised.
