HOTEL DE L'EUROPE, Paris

The hotel is situated in the 17th arrondissement, a quieter residential area within walking distance of Montmartre and the Moulin Rouge. Brochant Metro Station (line 13) is just a 2-minute walk and provides direct links to the Champs-Élysées, Saint-Lazare, and Montparnasse districts. Gare du Nord, for Eurostar services, is a 10-minute taxi ride away. The area offers a range of local restaurants, bars, shops, and bakeries within a 5-minute walk, as well as a McDonald's and supermarket nearby. Public transport options (metro and bus) allow access to major sights within 40 minutes.

All rooms are decorated in stone-coloured tones and include an LCD TV and a work desk. Some rooms feature a private bathroom with a shower, while others have shared facilities. The property has single rooms available (only 2 single-bed rooms). Room sizes are notably small, more suitable for short stays where space is not a priority. A narrow spiral staircase is the only access to all floors as there is no lift, which can make carrying heavy luggage difficult. Some rooms are windowless or overlook interior courtyards. The building is older, and while daily cleaning is offered, furnishings and decor show signs of wear. There is no air conditioning, only heating, and windows may be single-glazed, so street-facing rooms can be noisy.

Breakfast is a continental-style offering of bread, butter, jam, a croissant, and a hot drink (coffee or tea). It is served on a tray and taken in the reception area, which has limited seating at a few small tables. A 24-hour vending machine provides drinks. For those seeking a wider or more varied breakfast, the surrounding neighbourhood offers several bakeries, cafés, and patisseries within a short walk.

The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in all areas, secure luggage storage, a safety deposit box at reception, and a 24-hour front desk. A vending machine for drinks is also available. There is no parking on-site. The staff can assist with transport information and arranging taxis. The property has a designated smoking area. Services include daily room cleaning and the ability to borrow a hairdryer from reception. No tea or coffee-making facilities are provided in rooms.
