C.O.Q Hotel Paris on Postcard

"The under-appreciated 13th arrondissement includes the hilltop Buttes-aux-Cailles district and the historic Gobelins tapestry factory. This is where the design-forward C.O.Q. opened in 2016. The hotel is from Hôteliers Impertinents, a small French hospitality group. The 50-room C.O.Q. takes its name from “Community of Quality.” The moniker is also a nod to the proud coq (rooster), a symbol of France, and a stuffed cockerel keeps watch over reception, while a courtyard garden has a chicken coop. With a colorful, carpeted lounge loaded with reading material, Hotel C.O.Q. has the feel of a family home in a Paris neighborhood that’s completely off the tourist map. There’s a relaxed and bohemian vibe making it an appealing place to linger. The room decor also contributes to this feel; think vintage furniture, oil paintings, decorative mirrors, and custom-designed wardrobes. C.O.Q. is family-friendly too, offering baby amenities on request and candy-filled jars at the reception desk. The lavish buffet breakfast showcases only French products, such as Alain Milliat jams, Poilâne bread, and locally roasted coffee by Terres de Café. Note: There’s no gym or wellness facilities." - Mary Winston Nicklin

"Designers Delphine Sauvaget and Pauline d’Hoop, of l’Agence Favorite, are well known for a series of hip restaurants – and they’ve been given carte blanche for C.O.Q, their first hotel project. The result is a piece of serious design work, a proper high-quality (if low-frills) hotel, with a vibe that’s low-key and homey – fitting, given that in this part of the Left Bank, near the Place d’Italie, the most likely competitors are apartment shares, not boutique hotels." - The MICHELIN Guide

My son and I stayed here for four nights to celebrate my 70th birthday in early December. Thibault welcomed us. He had a very pleasing demeanour and was very helpful. The two other members of staff whose names I know are Melanie and Naye. Like Thibault they were exceptional but also every single member of staff we encountered was helpful and polite. ||When we were checking out it became apparent that it had been overlooked that it was my birthday and so I was kindly given some luxurious cosmetic products in lieu of the bottle of wine that is customary. I also had an impromptu rendition of Joyeux Anniversaire complete with a hot chocolate cupcake and candle! Such a nice touch. ||The location is excellent. Just a few minutes walk from Place d’Italie. With easy access to different metro lines and tourist locations. The ambiance is welcoming, relaxed and informal. The room we occupied was rather snug for two people. Difficult to get around if you have large suitcases. Also as it’s located near the Sapetriere hospital there are a lot of ambulance sirens but after a busy day walking around Paris they did not disturb us and is a minor factor outweighed by the many positives of this hotel. ||We did not try the breakfast but it looked plentiful and good. I woukd certainly stay here again.

I truly loved staying at this hotel. The neighborhood feels like normal life - lots of restaurants and shops but not touristy. The hotel is lovely and very clean and quiet. I loved the coffee and pastries in the lobby. Staff were efficient and kind. I would absolutely stay here again.

To be honest, I have been in many hotels way better. The service staff is nice. Reception staff is very friendly and super helpful. Breakfast staff seem a bit overwhelmed, because they have to handle a lot of stuff with just 2 people. The rooms are okay, but have seen better days and are very very small. Even the most expensive Deluxe Room that we booked. Breakfast variation is pretty limited and definitely don’t book it, if you are vegan.

Update: 27 November 2024 After posting my initial review while still staying at the hotel, a manager approached me to ask if I needed anything and offered to discuss the points I raised. One notable improvement was that the cleaning staff was much quieter in the mornings, which made it easier for me to work. However, there were additional issues. We were overcharged for the city tax, and during checkout, I was unexpectedly told there was a breakfast charge. This was surprising since I never visited the breakfast area. I refused to pay for this breakfast charge as it clearly was assigned by mistake, and the hotel assured me that they issued a reimbursement for the overcharged city tax. I was asked multiple times about my negative review, but unfortunately, my overall experience remains unchanged. While the hotel has a great location, I still cannot recommend it. ————————————————————— I can’t understand how this hotel has 4 stars! I booked a “Superior Room with Shower,” but what I got was a tiny dark room with no wardrobe, no refrigerator, and a very cramped bathroom. The room was extremely noisy—neither the walls nor the door are soundproof. In fact, you can even see light from the corridor through the gap between the door and the frame. To make matters worse, the room had a bad odor, and the cleaning staff was incredibly loud throughout the day, which was disruptive if you wanted to work or sleep in. The staff at the hotel is kind but clearly inexperienced, and I never encountered a manager during my stay. While the location is convenient, the overall quality of the hotel is far below expectations, and it’s definitely overpriced for what you get. We skipped breakfast, but from what I saw of the “buffet,” it looked disappointing. Sadly, I would not recommend this hotel.

We stayed at the hotel for only one night, as we had a flight from Charles to the next morning. The hotel could not have been more welcoming. Naye, at the front desk, settled us in with a glass of wine and information about the neighborhood. She was also extremely helpful the next morning, directing us to the correct metro station and giving us information about train and metro fares to Charles de Gayle. The breakfast in the morning was terrific; it included eggs, meat, cheese, fruit, cereal, pastries, toast, juices and , of course, coffee. Our room was lovely and quiet, with a comfortable bed and wonderful soaking tub.

ALL of the staff were super friendly and helpful! The rooms are beautifully designed, so cozy and moody. Excellent amenities and very clean, modern bathrooms. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. We did not want to leave and will certainly return next time we’re in Paris! Thank you all for a wonderful stay, we felt right at home immediately (thanks Clara!).

Room: Comfortable and quiet, and a good size for Paris. The shower was excellent.|Breakfast: Tasty and fresh with a good selection of cheeses and pastries.|Staff: were friendly and accomodating.|Vibe: The welcome drink was great and we were able to take ours a day or so after arriving when we could enjoy it in the comfy lounge area. The décor was quirky and often amusing. The only mild off note was the slightly over-pushy branding.|Location: Though a bit away from main attractions, it is well situated for the metro lines making getting round easy.

We had a fantastic stay at Coq Hôtel! The staff were exceptional, especially Thibault at the front desk, who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The location is ideal, just steps from the metro and surrounded by great restaurants. The hotel itself is cozy and stylish, with a warm ambiance that made me feel right at home. The coffee machine was a standout—it brewed some of the best coffee I’ve had in any Hotel! Highly recommend for its excellent service, location, and comfort.

I've stayed at Hôtel COQ with my husband twice and we look forward to continuing the tradition for seasons to come. Here's what's special about Hôtel COQ: - Competitively priced in a safe, walkable location - Their buffet breakfast includes a beautifully curated selection of local cheese, fresh fruit preserves, eggs from their own urban chicken coop (!), sliced charcuterie, fresh juices and more - Homemade bread and croissants arrive fresh from the oven each morning...the best wake-up call! - Quick access to the affordable, efficient Metro - Wonderful multi-lingual staff members who go the extra mile to make you feel special (e.g., helped with a restaurant and magic show reservation) - Comfortable rooms with USB outlets, hardwood floors, soft sheets, basic toiletries and a FREE Nespresso machine (perfect to recharge after a day of walking the city) - Unique art decor in every room - They serve FREE welcome drinks every night with bar nuts - There's so much more...message me if you need further convincing! Their hospitality has made our annual Parisian experience feel "local" in every way.

The hotel looks quite cool and trendy but it is quite mediocre in terms of the quality you expect for the price of this hotel and the description of the hotel. The rooms was 4/5I think, spacious and cool. The downside was that you can hear all the rooms surrounding your room very well... all day and night. Breakfast was ok , but the menu of beers, wine, spirits was not very good. The staff did not have any good recommendations for take-away ( as they fon't have food there... and have a sign that you can bring take-away to the hotel..) or restaurant nearby. In general ok, but if you are visiting Paris as a tourist I would rather go for the 3/4/9/10 district or Pigalle/ Sacre Cōre which is a lot cooler and better in term of thing to see, eat and do;)

Love this hotel! Such a little cute and quaint hotel. The interiors are super nice, they have a sun room, free breakfast that's delicious and a silkies coop outside! Also in the evening, each guest gets a free cocktail drink in the evening I believe or depending on the room you book. You would have to double check. The staff is super friendly and kind. Overall one of the best hotel experiences I've had :)

After a lot of consideration we decided to stay here for our honeymoon. I have to say it was a really good decision. The hotel decor is chic,the lobby is extremely cosy and the staff was welcoming. Every evening they serve free welcome drinks and nut assortments in the lobby which added a really warm touch to their hospitality. We had booked a standard room but to our delight were upgraded to a deluxe! Rooms are a bit small and we were hoping for a bathtub but the rain shower wasn't too bad. They have toiletries from Rituals which definitely earned some brownie points. It is a bit away from the center of Paris, you won't be stepping out into a street full of patisseries, shops and boutiques but the metro is less than 5 mins by walk which is not bad.

Easily one of the cutest and best hotels I've stayed in. Our room was upgraded for free. It's not on the tourist path which was great for a second time in paris
