Review of Hotel Des Arts 1*

I have stayed at this hotel for almost a week now and I wanted to give a fair review of my experience at this hotel. My review is also based off past hotel experiences and accommodations offered. The rooms are small (it's the norm here) and there wasn't enough space to unpack my belongings but we adjusted to the small size quickly. I agree with other reviewers when they say it's very cozy here. I actually enjoyed how small and cozy everything was. The hair dryer is unpleasant to use but we're grateful the hotel offers one. We stayed during Christmas and housekeeping bought us these awesome chocolates for our room. It was a pleasant surprise to see them in our room. The hotel charges 12€ per person for breakfast (3€ if you only want coffee, tea, and patesseries). We are used to hotels offering us free breakfasts but that wasn't a deal breaker for us. During the afternoon they offer drinks and patesseries in a kitchen area. It was nice and clean. We enjoyed the area a few times. They also have a juke box in the lounge area that plays free music. The music is easy going music and very enjoyable. I really like this about the hotel. The best part of my hotel experience would have to be the staff. They made every effort to ensure that our stay was pleasant. You can tell they really care a lot for the guests here. The front desk lady (slender woman with brown hair) was very patient with me while I tried speaking French to her. For me, that was the best part of my hotel experience. I have never had that experience with hotel staff before. Overall, this is a great hotel. We won't be returning to Paris (for reasons not related to the hotel) but we would stay in this hotel again if the situation ever arose.
