The Hotel Mayet

The hotel is very nice and surprisingly quiet. I’m actually glad that we are a ways out of the main areas in the city as the metro stop (Duroc) is right around the corner and the hotel is clean, nicely designed, comfortable and very English friendly. We took a tiny (and I mean barely fits two people) elevator up to our third floor room. Our two windows overlook the street and the room is typically sized for Paris (e.g. small) but nice. The décor is funky and modern with a red and gray stripe running the perimeter of the room. The bathroom is also tiny, with a stand-up shower stall and perhaps the smallest toilet I’ve ever seen with a seat rim no wider than 3 inches but the flush is phenomenal, as all of the toilets in Paris appear to be. In fact, it is less of a flush and more of a downward explosion of water. All in all we were very happy with the room, especially for 110 euros ($140) a night, which is a bargain for Paris.
