Hôtel de Nesle

Hôtel de Nesle Review

This one-of-a-kind budget hotel is like a quirky, enchanting dollhouse. Services are bare-bones—no elevator, phones, or breakfast—but the payoff is in the snug rooms cleverly decorated by theme. Sleep in Notre-Dame de Paris, lounge in an Asian-style boudoir, spend the night with Molière, or steam it up in Le Hammam. Decorations include colorful murals, canopy beds, or clay tiles. Most rooms overlook an interior garden, and the dead-end-street location keeps the hotel relatively quiet. If you book one of the 11 rooms without a shower, you'll have to share the one bathroom on the second floor.
