“An ok base for exploring Paris”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

As per an earlier review - this is now TImotel (from 1st Jan). The hotel was ok - but wouldn't want to spend much more than a couple of days there. The rooms are very small and dark, although very clean. The beds are quite small, but the bedding immaculate. Shower leaked badly, so floor was flooded every time we took a shower. Breakfast was really a lottery. If you got there early before the rush, it was very nice with fresh bread, hams and cheeses and on occasions boiled eggs. There was also fresh fruit, yoghurt and pastries. However, the dining room is VERY small given the number of bedrooms, so if you don't get there early enough there are neither seats, food or crockery left! It would appear they are severely understaffed in the breakfast room. No one clearing tables or replenishing the food area. The one big positive is that the ladies on reception were always very pleasant and very helpful. The area is lovely - although it looks a little run down at first, its really a very safe area. Step out of the hotel and turn right, and there are several bars and restaurants on each side of the street. A particular mention to L'Atmosphere at the bottom of the street on the left hand side. Good little bar for a drink. Chez Marie Louise is a restaurant about 10 mins walk away and the food and service here are top class - however, would recommend booking as it was full on a Thursday night and people were being turned away. Les Enfants Perdu is another restaurant on Rue Recollets (turn right outside the hotel and walk a couple of hundred yards and the restaurant is on the left) which served excellent food but again would be advantageous to book. You can walk from Gard Du Nord (10 - 15 min walk with luggage) or from Gard D'Est (3 minute walk with luggage)

“Fantastique!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Just returned home from Paris, and a stay at Villa Saint Martin... Absolutely brilliant hotel; great distance from gare du nord and gare de l'est (10 mins maximum!) clean throughout, beautiful rooms and generally modern and pleasant whilst still in keeping with typical Parisian style.

Good continental selection for breakfast in the mornings, certainly worth getting out of bed for!

The staff were made this for us; friendly and pleasant (even first thing in the morning whilst finishing a night shift!) would definitely be happy to go back to villa saint Martin over and over, based on the attitude and manner of the staff.

Good work; to all at villa saunt martin - keep it up - highly recommended! :-)

Room Tip: We had a double room, and the size was perfect for myself and my partner.

“The friendliest hotel in Paris”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This is my second stay at the Villa Saint Martin (now a Timhotel, I believe). It is a small hotel close to Gare de l'Est and only a few minutes walk from Gare du Nord. The rooms are well-equiped, clean and quiet. The main advantage is the friendliness of the reception staff - they always greet you with a smile and go out of their way to help. For such good value, the service is beyond what one would expect. I highly recommend.

“Super small hotel - very convenient for international train travel out of Paris”

A great find - only a few minutes walk from Gare du Nord / Gare Est so great for connection further into continental Europe and UK. Very welcoming and helpful. Rooms small but very clean and comfortable. Breakfast simple but good. Excellent restaurant around 100m down the road Les Enfants Perdus was recommended by the hotel and proved to be excellent.

“Excellent Customer Service and Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

The customer service at the hotel was excellent, staff were helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the breakfast, in particular the rolls. The hotel is clean, and the rooms are small, however, this is normal in Europe and the size really didnt bother me. Gare de l"Est is a few minutes walk and Gare Du Nord is around 10mins away. We walked with our luggage to Gare Du Nord to catch the Eurostar and found it very easy. I also found that around Gare de l'Est and Gare Du Nord lots of restaurants that are reasonably priced with large meals. I will definitely stay here again.
