A lovely small boutique hotel situated in a great location close to many points of interest. The staff were welcoming and super friendly and a huge plus point. The lift was small but perfectly adequate so no complaints at all. We stayed in a superior room which was clean and stylish, the shower was quite snug but again, nothing to complain about. A lovely stay and would recommend and will absolutely return.

“Very much recommended”

We had a very good 4 night stay at Hôtel Joe M. The check-in was friendly and efficient, and all the people we dealt with at the reception were very nice and polite.

We had a very good 4 night stay at Hôtel Joe M. The check-in was friendly and efficient, and all the people we dealt with at the reception were very nice and polite. The hotel: It was recently renovated, everything looked brand new and was very clean. The location is very good: The Grands Boulevards Metro station on lines 8 and 9 is a 3 minutes walk away, Cadet metro station on line 7 is a 5 minutes walk away, Gare du Nord metro and train station on lines 4 and 5 is 16 minutes walk away. It is located on a quiet side street close to various bigger streets and has lots of restaurants, bars, and cafés nearby. The rooms: Our room 105 was a standard double without a balcony (unless you count that you can put your toes out via the grid in the window!). It had shower only. Also provided were an empty mini-fridge where you can put your own snacks, a good quality coffee maker with coffee pods and milk, a small table and a chair. There was no shelved storage space in the room, only a few cloth hangers. The room was quiet, we did not hear any noise from street or neighbouring rooms and hence had a very good night's sleep every night. Our friend's first room for the first night was small and it did not have a fridge or a coffee machine. It did have a kettle though and teas and coffees. She then upgraded it to a superior room 204 for about 30 euros per night. The room had the same coffee maker as our room, a mini fridge, a small bath with a shower over it and a balcony big enough for a table and 2 chairs. The bathrooms: Toiletries were by NUXE: A full size bottle of hair and body product bolted to the wall in the bathroom, full size bottle of handwash in the toilet area and a mini bottle of body cream which was replaced daily. The storage space for our own toiletries in all the bathrooms was adequate. The breakfast: The breakfast was good, it cost 18 euros per person per day. The selection included mini pastries (croissants, pain au chocolat, pain aux raisin), fresh baguette, crepes, toast, jams and honey, yoghurts, fruit, dried fruits, fruit salad, scrambled eggs, sausage, hams, cheeses, different kinds of juices including a freshly squeezed orange juice, and a coffee machine to make cappuccino, espresso, café au lait etc. General: One day we were at the reception at around 3pm and noticed they served coffee, tea, mineral water and mini pastries there. That was a nice little "extra." You need to leave the keys at the reception when going out. Unless they know you when you come back and ask for the keys they check your name against the room number. We liked that because it was a more secure system than what many of the hotels in Paris have. They also have a secure method for leaving the luggage when checking out and leaving for the final spot of sightseeing before leaving Paris: They give you a token for each item left and check the luggage against the counterpart when you come back to collect it. We would be happy to stay at Hôtel Joe M again.

Great location. Train stations, cafes, restaurants everywhere. Lovely rooms with very calming modern neutral tones. The rooms, bathrooms and lifts however are very very compact, especially the shower and lift was tiny with just about room to turn around. At night there was some noise from the local traffic and bars from the street below. Twin beds were very narrow but comfortable.

“Cramped, thin walls”

Extremely cramped, like they fit in 8 rooms in place of 6. Stairs are wonky. Coffee not replaced in 3 day stay. Paper thin walls means you can hear the neighbors and vica versa 😈. Not worth the price. One positive thing is that it's central and close to various subway lines, easy to get to on bic... more

“Look elsewhere!”

Joe M markets itself as a boutique hotel with a flashy digital presence.

Joe M markets itself as a boutique hotel with a flashy digital presence. In reality it is a puny hotel where space is at a premium everywhere: -The Elevator fits one-adult with a carry-on suitcase in a multi-story hotel. -The corridors have no space when two people crossing in opposite directions. -The rooms have no closet and very small bed+bathroom that accommodate two adults snugly. -What they describe as a balcony is actually a window that one can stand/sit on. The location and staff are perhaps the two positives. If you need a 1-night stay, sure, but for $400/night average rate, plan in advance, there are plenty of regular, full-service hotels to be had in Paris…
