HOTEL CLARISSE, Paris

The hotel sits in a lively, family-oriented district of the Left Bank, with numerous brasseries and restaurants within a 5-minute walk. Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre is 700 m away, reachable by tram or a 10-minute walk. Metro line 13 gives direct access to Montparnasse, Champs-Élysées, Invalides, and Saint-Lazare. The T3 tram connects to RER B at Cité Universitaire for direct service to the airports. Several supermarkets, bakeries, and a pharmacy are adjacent. The neighbourhood is quiet at night, but some areas near the metro can feel less welcoming after dark.

Classic Double Rooms are ideal for two; Comfort Twin Rooms have two single beds. Triple Rooms offer three single beds or one double and one single. Quadruple Rooms feature two double beds and a desk - though the bathroom is compact. All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a 40-inch flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar, tea/coffee facilities, a safe, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms are soundproofed but internal noise from corridors and adjacent rooms can be noticeable; lower-floor rooms are nosier. The compact room size (approx. 13 m2) suits short stays. A kettle is available on request.

The buffet includes viennoiseries with Isigny butter, organic foodstuffs, and warm bread, but is limited in variety - no hot dishes or fresh vegetables. Coffee and drinks are available from the hotel bar. The immediate area has several bakeries, supermarkets, and casual dining options within a short walk. A snack bar and coffee house are on site, and the front desk can recommend nearby bistronomic restaurants.

The hotel does not have a spa or gym. The shared lounge is a quiet space to unwind with a book or work. The nearby park is ideal for a morning jog or an afternoon stroll. The Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre and the Montfort Theatre are within a 10-15 minute walk for cultural events.

Parking is private, underground, and costs €28 per night - reservation is required and the height limit is 1.84 m. Pets are allowed at €15 per night. Laundry facilities (self-service) are available 150 m from the hotel; an iron can be borrowed from reception. Daily housekeeping includes fresh towels and bin emptying. A safety deposit box and key card access are provided. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available. The 24-hour reception is helpful but may have occasional short absences at night. Express check-in/out and free luggage storage make early arrivals and late departures convenient.
