Plivot Trip

would strongly discourage anyone—especially families—from staying at Hotel Le Chat Noir. The room itself was disappointing, but the biggest issue was the location. The hotel is surrounded by sex shops, adult stores, strip clubs, and other explicit businesses. We were traveling with our children and had no idea we would be staying in what is essentially the heart of Pigalle’s adult entertainment district. Walking outside with kids was incredibly uncomfortable and not at all the family-friendly Paris experience we had hoped for. The nature of the neighborhood is well known, but we did not feel the hotel made that clear before booking, instead it said it was in the heart of mortmare neighborhood. To make matters worse, our room had / terrible mold smell- giving it a damp, dirty feeling. We were so uncomfortable that we ended up losing nearly €2,000 by booking another hotel just to get out of there. That was an expensive lesson, but staying wasn’t worth it. This hotel may work for travelers specifically looking to stay in the Pigalle nightlife district, but if you’re visiting Paris with children or expecting a clean, comfortable 4-star experience, I strongly recommend staying elsewhere. I wish I had read more carefully about the neighborhood before booking. Hopefully this review helps another family avoid making the same costly mistake.

Loved my stay at Villa Alessandra. The room was clean and comfortable. It was small but adequate for two people and larger than other Paris hotel rooms which tend to be very small. I enjoyed being close to the arc de triomphe and metro line 1

Amazing!

The person in front desk was very nice and helpful ❤️
