Hotel Palm - Astotel

Choose the right room at the Hôtel Palm and you might nab yourself a view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance. This is a well-executed boutique, housed in a traditional Parisian building. Inside the design has a bit of a beachy vibe, with fresh colours, clean lines and plenty of leafy palms.

Service here is excellent, with friendly staff and tasty little snacks available each afternoon. It’s in a handy location too, you’re within walking distance or a short metro ride from the main tourist spots, great if it’s your first time in the city.

A buffet breakfast is served each morning (finishing slightly later on weekends). Whilst there is no bar or restaurant on site, there are free soft drinks available throughout the day and plenty of great eateries to choose from close by.

As with many affordable hotels in Paris, the 38 bedrooms are on the small side but they're stylish, well designed and comfortable. Whilst there are no guarantees, request a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower for full Parisian effect.

Hôtel Palm is located in the 9th arrondissement with many sights within walking distance; the Moulin Rouge, Montmartre and the Sacré Coeur are all a 20-minute walk from the hotel. Just a short walk away is the Rue des Martyrs with its traditional shops, lively bars and cabarets.
