HOTEL BRIDGET, Paris

The hotel is set high above the city at the intersection of rue des Pyrenees and rue de Menilmontant, a buzzy residential and commercial street. Gambetta, Menilmontant and Jourdain metro stations are all within a 5-10 minute walk, providing direct connections to central Paris (about 40 minutes to the Louvre or Notre Dame). Charles de Gaulle Airport is 20 km away. The immediate area offers a wide selection of neighbourhood bistros, bakeries, grocery stores and cafés, giving a real taste of local Parisian life. For drivers, street parking is free between 8 pm and 9 am; the hotel's own private parking costs €25/day, and a nearby car park is approximately €16/24h.

Rooms are available in Classic Double (shower, street-facing), Superior Double (bath, courtyard-facing), Twin, Triple (with a rollaway bed), Quadruple (with a bunk bed) and Family configurations. Superior and top-floor quadruple rooms offer courtyard or Eiffel Tower views. All rooms include a private entrance, soundproofed walls, a minibar, a work desk, heating and free toiletries. Classified descriptions mention a queen bed that is split down the middle, which some find uncomfortable. Classic double and twin room bathrooms may not have a window. For a family of up to 7, the hotel can place rooms on the same floor; a baby cot is available for €15/night in certain rooms.

The breakfast includes bread, pastries, hot drinks, cheese, cold meats, cereal, yoghurt and fruit juice. A coffee shop on site also serves hot drinks, wine and champagne throughout the day (additional charge). The surrounding neighbourhood is rich with bakeries (boulangeries), bistros and restaurants - options within a short walk include Le Relais des Pyrenees, La Nouvelle Etoile, Barback 55, and Aux Ours.

The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, express check-in/out, concierge service and a welcome drink. Daily housekeeping is provided free of charge. Luggage can be stored before check-in and after check-out, though bags are held in the open lobby area. The single-person lift serves all floors but can be slow or occasionally out of service - guests with mobility concerns should request a lower-floor room. Accessibility features include wheelchair-accessible rooms, a lowered bathroom sink, raised toilet with grab rails, and an adapted shower. A safety deposit box is available free of charge. Accepted payment methods: American Express, Visa, MasterCard. The hotel requires a valid credit or bank card in the guest's name for the €90 security deposit; cash is accepted for the room payment provided a card is available for the pre-authorisation.
