Carofftel Gobelins

( 2 stars , Paris , France )

just steps away from the best part of the Latin Quarter, (Moufetard - best bistros and shops in Paris! Great quality at at bargain.) and convenient to the Gobelins Metro stop, so all of Paris is nearby. Not an elegant hotel, but everything worked, and it was more space than expected for me, wife, and 21 year old son.

The hotel was quiet, rooms clean and well entertained. Mme. Caroff was very professional, kind, and efficient. Close to the hotel is the "rue Mouffetard", with a very nice food market

It was great here, very helpful and nice staff, near of city center. I recommend it!

If you are looking for a no-frills budget hotel, this is a good choice. Clean, small room with better than average bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent location very close to Metro, Rue Mouffetard and other attractive Parisian areas. Great value for money.

The owner(lady?) was really kind and very nice to me. The hotel was clean and cozy. I would like to stay again.

This Hotel was in a great location and very easy to find from the Airport, its a small hotel but our room was very clean. Bathroom was all tiled and very clean but the shower was tiny. It was quite, clean and the staff were friendly. We saw all the sites on foot though the Metro is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. We ate in an area called Odeon which was gorgeous lovely bars and restaurants. I would have not problem recommending this hotel.

We stayed at Cafofftel Gobelins for 4 nights in March-April 2008. We chose the hotel after reading guest reviews and were very happy with our decision. The hotel is in a good location, with only a short walk to the Metro, farmers markets on Rue Mouffetard and a range of restaurants, pattisseries, etc. Our room was clean, quiet and big enough and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The rooms were clean but basic. The sound proofing within the hotel is very poor. If you are looking for a basic but clean hotel to rest your head you could do a lot worse.

For Paris this is an excellent budget hotel. We stayed on the top floor and had a small balcony. The room was comfortable and when the balcony door was shut it kept the noise of traffic out very well. The shower had good pressure and we always had hot water. The area the hotel is in is very cosmopolitan and handy for the metro. You can also walk to Notre Dame in about 25minutes. On the other hand the room was quite 70s in style and the hotel corridors etc were slightly tatty. The service was fine, although we did have to wait ages (20 minutes)for someone to come to reception when checking out. I think they were struggling with being understaffed that day. I think it is slightly over rated in these reviews, but overall I don't think you could get much better for the price or area so would definately recommend this hotel. I would certainly stay there again.
