TIPI, Paris

The hotel is on a lively, mostly pedestrian street lined with shops, bakeries, fruit vendors, cafés and a local market. Gaité Metro Station (line 13) is 550 metres away, and Denfert-Rochereau station (line 4 and RER B) is about 8 minutes on foot. Montparnasse station is a 10-minute walk, providing direct rail access across Paris and to the airports via RER B. The 14th arrondissement is safe, calm at night and well-connected, with many restaurants and bars within a few minutes' walk. Luxembourg Garden is 1 km away.

Each room has a private bathroom with a hairdryer, but bathrooms are very small and shower-only - there is no bathtub. Some rooms have showers with only a curtain, which can cause water to spill onto the floor; rooms vary in condition depending on recent renovation. The hotel has four floors served by a small lift. Heating is available, but there is no air conditioning; fans are available on request. Light sleepers should avoid street-facing rooms or bring earplugs, as walls are thin and noise from neighbouring rooms and the street can be heard. Rooms are generally small: some cannot accommodate a fully open suitcase, and wardrobe space is limited to a few hangers. Some rooms have a desk and chair, which can make the floor plan feel tight. Bed size is a double, not a queen. Daily housekeeping is provided. Rooms at the rear tend to be quieter.
