Luxelthe Hotel

"This is a great 2* hotel. Easy to find, a couple of minutes walk from Pigalle Metro Station and a 5 min walk one way to Moulin Rouge and 5 mins the other to Sacre Coeur. Arrived early (12:00) and was given early check in. Room spotlessly clean, warm powerful shower, comfy bed and nice and warm. No breakfast available but plenty of cafes nearby. Hotel staff friendly and helpful-left luggage with them during day before heading to Eurostar home."

"Stayed here for a full 10 days and lived to tell the tale lol (with calves of steel, thanks to the no-lift situation). If you’re hauling your entire closet, prepare for the spiral staircase cardio challenge of a lifetime. Pro tip: request the 2nd floor unless you enjoy lugging bags up like a Tour de France competitor. The room? Compact but mighty. Cleaned daily, with just enough bathroom space for one human being (two if you’re very good friends). There’s a desk for spreading out maps and pretending you’re an intrepid explorer planning your Parisian conquests. Front desk? Always manned, always helpful. They speak English, but sprinkle in a little “bonjour” and “merci” — works like a magic spell for quicker responses. Location-wise, this spot is gold. Two subway stations nearby, a stroll to Moulin Rouge in one direction (brace yourself for the neon glow of endless sex shops), and the charming Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur in the other (brace yourself for crepes and cobblestones). It’s a tale of two arrondissements: PG-rated uphill, R-rated downhill. A few survival tips: Bring (or buy) the right adaptor, unless you enjoy staring at dead phone batteries. Don’t expect bellboys or marble foyers — this is budget-chic DIY living. Perfect for solo travelers or couples who don’t mind carrying their own bags and groceries (yep, there’s a shop right down the street). Be polite, learn a few French basics, and ask the concierge for food tips. They’re like Yelp, but with actual soul. All in all, I’d absolutely stay here again. Affordable, convenient, and very Paris — quirks and all. Merci & au revoir!"

"This is the worst hotel I've ever booked. I didn't stay once I walked in. It's dirty, the person at the reception desk is rude, there's not an elevator, he said he would not help me carry my two ( heavy ) bags to the 5th floor ( which is really the 6th for americans ). If I could give 0 stars I would. I booked on Booking.com and cancelled because it's just so bad. First impressions count, and this hotel and the person at the reception did not make a good first impression at all."
