Hôtel Urban Bivouac

I wish I could give them 7 stars - just for the super-courteous staff. We visited Paris for the French Open (30th May - 2nd June) and stayed for a short while. We also walked around the city. A lot. And at the end of the day we knew we will have a neat and clean room and bed to rest and sleep to start the next day fully energized. Now for the location: Metro 14 that runs through the heart of the city is approximately 50-100 steps away. The China town is in the neighborhood. An artisanal boulangerie a little walk away. In other words, a perfect location! The rooms are compact and well designed. Our room faced the side road but we slept well. Nights are not noisy. Other amenities: silent air conditioner and lifts (In Paris this is a blessing. We travel light but even then…). And no, we didn’t need to break the bank. The price is extremely reasonable. We switched from another hotel chain and saved almost €150. I think I will stay here for all my Paris visits in the future.

Hotel Urban Bivouac Tobias is a gem! Everything has been thoroughly thought by the architects, every space is wisely used, everything is clean and new, the bed is very comfortable as well as the pillows, the place is very well insulated (sound and heat), there is plenty of lighting in the room, the elevator is large enough and the service very friendly. The location was perfect for me, and very close to the metro station Olympiades (direct light to Orly Airport). Note that the room is small and there isn’t much space (especially for 2 people if you have a large suitcases), but the price is excellent and there is AC for hot days. A really good deal in Paris!

Basic but comfortable room with all the mod cons you need for a weekend away. Although just off a busy road it was very quiet with the window shut. Temperature was easy to control. The hotel is situated very conveniently to get into the heart of Paris with underground’s a few minutes walk away. We arrived late and needed food, over the road was McDonald’s and a very good Kebab House.
