We stayed here for 2 nights around New Years Eve. The room was compact and clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable. The TV kept losing signal so we weren’t able to watch it. The bathroom looked new and the shower was a good size. The water was cool in the evening but lovely and hot in the mornings. We were in room 304 which is unfortunately right next to the lift so kept us awake late and woke us up early. The location is excellent and was a 25 minute walk to arc de triomphe which was brilliant for NYE. It’s right next to the metro which was handy and it had great shops close by. The staff were lovely and friendly. Overall this is a great hotel for a short stay at a good cost. I would return but ask for a room away from the lift.

“Adequate room made better by delightfully friendly staff! ”

We spent 2 nights at the hotel and it was an okay experience, adequate! I had been gifted a Virgin Experience City Break voucher which I chose to use at Hôtel Espace Champerret. We researched the hotel online and felt that it looked very good from the website information and it seemed ideal for our purposes. The hotel has a great location, it’s a few metres away from Louise Michel Metro Station with shops and restaurants nearby. First off, I must commend all the staff for their hospitality. They were wonderful, all very friendly and helpful, truly most welcoming. All staff spoke English to some degree, some fluently although we did attempt some basic French out of respect and good manners for our hosts. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant and there’s no tea/coffee service in the rooms which was a shame. Our room (a ground floor room with a terrace) was tidy enough on arrival although it was a tad dusty, there wasn’t a mini bar in the room as expected however we discovered that this was kept in the reception area but it didn’t have much to offer. Also, the room door to the terrace was locked so although we could see the terrace, we couldn’t access it. We had a window that we could open but we noticed a large rat trap directly beside the window so we chose to leave that locked! Breakfast choices are quite extensive for a buffet style breakfast. Lots of fresh bread, croissants, sweet cake on offer as well as three types of cereal, an array of yogurt, preserves and a large selection of cheese/cold meats. As well as a hot drinks machine for coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, hot water for teas etc. There was also a large selection of fresh juice, iced water and teas from Earl Grey to French Breakfast Teas. The breakfast room is small but nicely decorated. Breakfast is from 7am to 10am and the breakfast staff on hand were welcoming and friendly. The room we stayed in, (Room1) was a small standard, it was dark and in need of some love and attention regarding decorating. We had two side lamps and one slightly larger which needed to be on during the day when we were in the room for brightness. The pillows were very firm and pretty low quality in-fact, I woke both mornings with an uncomfortable headache. As mentioned before, the room did not come with any sort of tea or coffee services, just 2 glasses on the desk, sitting on a paper napkin! It was just all a little basic! Furthermore, they have this unusually strange policy where you need to leave your key at reception when you leave the hotel, I don’t think that this is so cleaners can access it as the reception staff all had copies of the room keys…it felt very odd! We did have our room cleaned while we were out and it was fine, they did a decent job even addressing the dust that had been missed previously. The en-suite was again small and basic, the shower head didn’t stay in it’s holder and tended to slip down the pole so you had to hold it to shower also the hose itself was in need of replacement as it was frayed and worn away. Soap and shower/hair wash were also provided, which were nicely scented. Two paper cups were provided for rinsing teeth and towels were fresh and clean. Realistically, we only needed the room to sleep in so it was adequate, it would have been nice if we could have made a hot drink in the room on our return from our day out. The location was perfect for us to wonder around the city and we enjoyed our visit to Paris, the people are most welcoming and friendly, it’s certainly a vibe and we will return. However, all that being said, we would certainly consider another stay at Hôtel Espace Champerret if we were not on the ground floor and in a different room.
