HOTEL SAINT-CHARLES, Paris

The hotel sits in the heart of the Butte aux Cailles, a peaceful, safe neighbourhood with a local village feel, lined with bars, bistros, and small shops. It is a 5-minute walk from Corvisart Metro (line 6) and about 10 minutes from Place d'Italie (lines 5, 6, 7), providing fast connections to the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse, and Bercy. Orly Airport is 15 minutes away by car, and the hotel is close to Montsouris Park (less than a 10-minute walk). For car-free visitors, the metro and tram are practical; those driving should use nearby public parking at Wurtz (5 minutes on foot) or Italie 2 (10 minutes on foot).

All rooms are air-conditioned, have private bathrooms with a bath or shower and hairdryer, and include a flat-screen TV, electric kettle, mini fridge, and free Wi-Fi. Some Double Standard rooms and the Prestige Suite have a small balcony; the Prestige Suite offers more space with two double beds separated by a sliding door. While the hotel was fully renovated in 2019, the rooms are compact in size, storage is limited, and decor can feel basic. Street-facing rooms may be noisier in the evening, while courtyard-facing rooms are quieter. Daily housekeeping and towel changes are provided.

The hotel offers a buffet breakfast for an additional charge of 12 EUR per person, which includes bread, pastries, hot drinks, and juice. During warmer months, it can be enjoyed on the terrace or in the picnic area. No restaurant is on-site; however, the bar provides drinks in the evening. The surrounding Butte aux Cailles area is full of cafés, bakeries, and restaurants within a 3-5 minute walk, offering a wide choice for other meals. Breakfast in the room is available upon request.

Leisure facilities are limited to a bar/lounge, a terrace, sun terrace, garden, and a picnic area. An outdoor pool is within walking distance in the neighbourhood. There is no spa, wellness centre, or gym on the property. The area offers street art walks and is close to Montsouris Park (with a lake and birdwatching) for outdoor leisure.

The hotel provides a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage (available before check-in and after checkout), free Wi-Fi throughout, a lift, and daily housekeeping. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV, key card access, and a safety deposit box. For families, baby cots are available. The hotel is accessible for guests with disabilities and offers family rooms. No parking is on site, but public car parks (Wurtz and Italie 2) are a 5-10 minute walk. Airport transfers can be arranged from CDG (120 EUR for up to 4 people) but must be requested. No guest laundry or dry cleaning is available on site.
