Hotel Crayon by Elegancia

Hotel Crayon by Elegancia was centrally located in the 1st arrondisement. It was a minute's walk to the Louvre and the Palais Royal, a few minutes more to the Jardin des Tuileries and Place de la Concorde and not far from the River Seine and Ile de la Citie. My room was small but comfortable. No minifridge in the room--the space was too small--but grocery and liquor stores were down the street, as well as restaurants, cafes and bars. A breakfast of cheese and chacuterie, fruit and yoghurt, bread, eggs and muesli, coffee, tea and juice was available at the hotel. A very enjoyable stay.

Hotel management was very gracious in refunding a night. We had to leave early to get out of town prior to a huge strike, and the 48 hr cancellation policy was waived. The only issue was our 6th floor room when the elevator only went to floor 5.

Great location, but a little noisy late at night. Room size OK but shower room / toilet very small.

This quirky little hotel is just the perfect base for a Paris stay. We stayed in the junior suite 402 which was just perfect. Big room with a stand alone bath and separate rain shower. They don’t charge for young children so our daughter shared the huge king bed with us. Crayons were provided to colour in the wallpaper, which was heaven for our 6 years old! Quiet street so no street noise. 5 mins walk from the Louvre, 10 mins from Les Halles and the river. One negative, we could hear the people in the neighbouring room when they were showering but nothing else. Can’t wait to go back!!

The rooms were great - we liked the intimate atmosphere of the hotel and the staff were very helpful and courteous - plus it is centrally located near to iconic sites like the Louvre museum, shopping district and restaurants. It is also not far from the Eiffel Tower, the Arch de Triomphe, and the Champs d'Elysse.....

The hotel was ok but didn’t really look like the photos. It was in a good location but the room was very small and we had to haul our bags up a tiny staircase to get to our room. We also found an empty condom box in the garbage when we got to our room, which was just a little disconcerting. Overall, it was fine but I would only stay there again if the price was really cheap.

A great little hotel in a perfect spot. We had a tiny room --but the price and the location could not be beat! Loved the window that opened to the bustling city below!

Other than the heat wave we had no complaints, great spot in Paris!

Lovely small hotel with all your needs covered in a fashionable boutique stylish way Great bed for two tall travellors Lobby courtesy bar, very accommodating staff and two streets of sidewalk cafe restobars footsteps away 5 min to metro if you are a turtle Excellent to beat bustle of the core!!!
