HOTEL PARIS PANAM-PERE LACHAISE-PLACE GAMBETTA-HOPITAL TENON-REPUBLIQUE, Paris

Gambetta station (lines 3 and 3bis) is at the hotel's doorstep, placing Place de la République five minutes away and the Opéra district, department stores, and the Champs-Élysées within a 15- to 20-minute ride. Bus routes 61 and 352 connect directly to Austerlitz, Gare de Lyon, and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport. Père-Lachaise Cemetery is a two-minute walk. The neighbourhood itself is a safe, village-like area with plenty of cafés, restaurants, and a cinema within a few blocks. The hotel is close to the Paris-Est interchange, giving drivers easy access to the ring road and several motorways.

Rooms are compact but functional, with private bathrooms (bath or shower), free toiletries, a hairdryer, and a kettle with tea and coffee. All rooms have soundproofed triple glazing, so street noise is well reduced with windows closed. Rooms facing the internal courtyard are noticeably quieter. City-view rooms face the street and are brighter but can pick up traffic noise. The furnishings are modern but basic, with limited storage-a few hangers and a small shelf. Larger suitcases may be a tight fit. Studios and some rooms can accommodate up to two adults and two children.

Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 10:00 and includes bread, pastries, butter, jam, hard-boiled eggs, fruit, and a coffee machine. The hotel also has a restaurant, a bar, and a snack bar. The surrounding area offers many cafés and restaurants within a short walk for those seeking additional variety. Room service is available for a €2 supplement.

The hotel is adult-only and does not have a swimming pool, spa, or gym. For leisure, the immediate neighbourhood offers a cinema, the Georges-Vallerey swimming pool (1 km away), and Père-Lachaise Cemetery. Live sport events are broadcast in the shared lounge, and themed dinner nights and happy hour are organised (some at an additional charge). The location provides easy access to all Paris attractions via metro.

The reception is staffed around the clock and speaks French, English and Spanish. Free Wi-Fi works throughout the property. Luggage storage is free, which is useful for early arrivals or late departures. The building has seven floors and a lift (access via a few steps). Daily housekeeping is free but must be requested if staying multiple nights. Express check-in/out, private check-in/out, and an ATM/cash machine on site simplify the arrival process. Business services (fax/photocopying) are available at an additional charge. Parking is off-site and costs €30 per day with a required reservation.
