Boutique hotels in 12th Arrondissement

I arrived at the Courtyard at 11 AM and was surprised that they allowed me to check in early. Because I have gold status, they upgraded me to the top floor with a view of the Eiffel Tower. The room was big for a hotel in Paris with 2 twin size beds that wasn’t next to each other like most hotels situated their beds in Paris. It’s centrally located, clean and easily accessible to public transportation. They also provided basic toiletries including a shave kit and a toothbrush kit in case you didn’t pack yours. Plus they also provide filter water in a reusable bottle you can fill as much as you want. Defywould stay again.

Staff were helpful & polite. My daughter likes the table tennis & football tables in the lobby. Room was spacious & quite clean. The mattress & pillow left a deep impression cos mattress was thick & firm, and pillow gave good support. Hence we slept really well. Actually everything was good. The only complaint we have is the free bottled water provided. The cap is too tight & difficult to open. Opening the metal cap caused much pain to my fingers and sometimes I failed to open the bottle & ended up thirsty with painful fingers. So we bought own water instead.

Great location for Gare de Lyon train station, 2 mins walk. We walked to Eiffel tower, took us maybe 30 mins. The staff were very friendly and helpful to us and we enjoyed our stay. There was an early check in available, which after a 30 hour flight was music to my ears. The room is small but that is known and part of the package! Very well designed rooms, felt like I was back in Japan!
