Hôtel Crayon Rouge on Postcard

"Feels like home" is a qualifier commonly used to describe boutique hotels, but few live up to the promise. Hotel Crayon Rouge, the little sister of Hotel Crayon just around the corner, drives the homey atmosphere with a number of clever features: an honesty bar and cheerful open-plan kitchen with a readily stocked fridge accessible for late-night cravings, an intimate lounge in the entry, used books on bedside tables, and reading lights in bathrooms. Colorful guestrooms are like fantasy bedrooms, with retro-chic style, graphic illustrated wallpaper, antique furnishings, and vintage decorative touches. Though rooms are compact, smart use of mirrors make them feel more spacious. The design of the propertywas masterminded by artist Julie Gauthron and is framed subtly around wine, the owners’ passion. You’ll find playful wine-themed wallpaper in the lounge, lamps in cork oak above the reception desk, and wine and whiskey carafes above the Rouge Bar dining table. Complimentary charcuterie is available in the Rouge Bar with the purchase of a glass of wine at apéro hour each evening."

Don't believe the great reviews on this hotel or the ratings. It's NOT a 4 star hotel, 2 at best. There is no Bar, Lounge, Gym, Pool, Spa, Sauna, or rooms with a view. Rooms are small and outdated. No privacy between the bedroom & bathroom, Poor breakfast selection. Staff was very nice, location good. This hotel is overpriced at 400 Euro per night especially with ZERO AMENITIES. I've been to Europe many times for 2 or 3 weeks at a time. This was by far the worst hotel and should be priced around 200 Euro per night. The pictures speak for themselves.

Stayed for 3 nights in a junior suite. Chose this hotel for the location which turned out to be the right choice. 5 minutes from the Chatalet train station, 10 minutes to the Louvre or the Big Bus. Also just steps to several restaurants and groceries nearby. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and trendy. We didn't partake of the breakfast but it looked very good. Great coffee available in the breakfast room. Definitely recommend!

quirky hotel but clean and has everything you need. The room was small but they made good use of every available space. Nicely decorated. The in-room safe and telephone in our room did not work- the front desk staff tried to help but couldn't resolve the issue. The breakfast was good. Location is good, not much in the immediate area but lots of stuff if you walk out a couple of minutes.

Great hotel for my first visit to Paris- perfect location, cute room, and friendly service. Felt totally safe returning there late at night. The room was small (but I only slept there, so it really didn’t matter) but full of character. Would love to return!

We stayed in Paris several times, but this hotel is absolutely amazing. The location is unbeatable: the hotel is located between Louvre and Opera, next to several central subway stations. The interior design of the rooms and common spaces is spectacular. One can immediately say that everything was done not only very thoughtfully but also with passion and love. The staff (Didier in particular) were very nice and super attentive. They made us feel like we were at home. Highly recommended!

Charming quirky small hotel, with a delightful staff. ||We only stayed one night, but we needed to drop our bags early (at 9am) - the staff was accommodating, and even offered us coffee from the breakfast buffet. And even though we left so early the next morning that the breakfast buffet wasn't yet set up, again we were afforded coffee. ||The room was small - but the bed was comfortable and the l'Occitane soaps/shampoo amenities were nice. There was also a hot water kettle which I liked because I do like a cup of herbal tea before bed. (And yes, there was herbal tea.)||Also - the hotel is airconditioned and there's an elevator. ||And it's steps from the Louvre and a couple of blocks from E. DEHILLERIN.

We loved this boutique hotel. It is very central to wonderful restaurants and cafes, Louvre Musée and Center Pompidou. The hoteliers were so helpful and friendly. The room designs are quirky and très Francais. We had a massive spa bath in our room and a comfortable king-size bed. There is even a reading light in the toilet! The breakfast had plenty of choice in the continental options plus bacon, boiled and scrambled egg. Definitely staying here again.

I had a very pleasant stay! Even a small room is full of lovely details like that telephone or even a small light next to the toilet. The hotel is centrally located without being in the middle of the tourist hustle and bustle. Recommended small restaurants, bakeries and bistros within walking distance round off the stay.
