First Hotel

This is a nice boutique hotel in a great location. I’ve stayed in a number of hotels and hostels in Paris throughout the years (some on the nicer end and some on the less-​desirable side) and First Hotel is probably the best for the money. The rooms are very small but totally cute and practical. I can imagine that they could feel very tight if you’re planning to stay for an extended period of time, but for a couple of nights it was perfect. The best part of the hotel for me was the balcony, it had an incredible view of the Eiffel Tower! Oh, also the staff was very nice and helpful!

I’ve been to Paris three times now and have experienced both the ups and downs of the hotels in the city of lights. The pricing can be an issue for sure, but It’s important to get it right because that may make or break your stay.
So I spent hours on Expedia and the like, sifting through photos, and reading the reviews to verify that the photos were actually representative of the hotel. Ultimately, for my first trip with the GF to Paris, I settled on First Hotel Paris. And after staying there for a week, I definitely plan to make it my Parisian hotel of choice from here on out.
European standards are different from American ones. And if you’re looking for a boutique American hotel, First Hotel Paris definitely fits the bill. The lobby is clean, bright, and well-​designed.
Approximately $ 300/​Night USD
The rooms are some of the best I’ve encountered outside of 5-​star $ 500+/night suites. Clean and with everything in working order, I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. It’s to be expected that the size of the room is smaller than those you find in U.S. But we found that we had plenty of room, especially since we weren’t at the hotel for most of the trip.
Better yet, First Hotel Paris accommodated us with a room that had a slight view of la Tour Eiffel through the trees outside our window. There are even better options with a full-​on view with a balcony if you’re looking to indulge with some extra Euros. And despite being situated by Le Metro Cambronne (a bonus actually since we were traveling everywhere), there was no outside noise that permeated through the windows. Perfect.
L’Occitane products were on offer here, continuing the boutique experience at this hotel. The bathroom was extremely clean and modern. Again — plenty of room and surprisingly so. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of warm water.
There were plenty of towels and there was even a drying rack that actually dried your wet towels if needed.
It took me a day for us to notice, but eventually we saw that the room light was actually a top hat. Boutique much? Totally made the GF’s day.
Plenty of closet space to put up some of our formal wear, though I would’ve appreciated some drawers. The hangers were also bolted to the closet so it made for awkward hanging. And if you’re concerned about heating or air conditioning, have no fear. Central air was in perfect working condition and since we were there towards the end of summer, we definitely had the A/​C blasting away.
There’s a mini-​bar of course, but around First Hotel Paris, there are plenty of super-​marches, cafes, and bakeries to satiate any cravings.
So if you’re in Paris and want to be a 10-​minute walk away from the Eiffel Tower, be sure to check out First Hotel Paris. It’s right by the Metro and is quiet at night without being creepy. Be sure to try nearby Maison va Privat for your morning pastries and baguettes. And do check out some of the local cafes to sip le vin and watch patrons dance and sing the night away.

We LOVED this hotel! Right across the street from the trains, near basic shopping & all the food you want to eat! We were prepared for the walk to the tower, but from there everything is in such close proximity!
The rooms were really cute! I really do think that you’ll get the most bang for your buck here in terms of size, decoration and location.
THE ROOM IS COMPLETELY SOUND PROOF. AND DARK AS CAN BE, if you want it to ;)
Breakfast is offered here as well for a small fee compared to venturing out for basically the same thing;more time/​money saved there.
There is a cute patisserie next door & an atm down the street.

Great hotel in a great location! Right outside their front door is a metro stop. Easy to get to from the airport or anywhere in the city. There is a bakery next door and plenty of restaurants nearby. Front desk will give you a great map of everything in the city to see and where it’s at and how to get there. The rooms are small and modern. Carpet is black which looks great but can be hard to see if you drop anything on the floor. The hall lights are on a motion sensor so they are off until they see movement and they can take a while to turn on which kind of sucks cause it’s pitch black. Someone did get stuck in the elevator for about 15 min luckily it wasn’t us. Over all great hotel in an awesome city.

My soon-​to-​be fiancée and I spent 7 wonderful nights here this past February.
For the price we paid (via
, along with 2 round-​trip, non-​stop flights from San Francisco), this hotel was perfect.
Yes, the room was on the smaller side (think mid-​town Manhattan hotels), but who goes to Paris to stay in their hotel room?
Modern. Clean. Safe. Located conveniently across the street from the Cambronne metro. Next door to many restaurants and walking distance to the Eiffel Tower.
In fact, our hotel room had a view of the Eiffel Tower!
The front desk & morning breakfast-​buffet staff were friendly & attentive.
If you like peace & quiet when you sleep at night, this is the place to stay.
I’d stay here again!

This is a nice hotel with a lot of things surrounding you within walking distance including the Eiffel Tower 10 – 15 min walk! Though the room is extremely small & tight! (That’s what she said) lmao. That’s why I’m not giving it 5 stars
