The hype
Travelers love the modern design and the rooftop bar, but often complain about the distance from central tourist sights.
Novotel Paris Porte De Versailles
$150-250/ natt
Boka detta om You're attending a trade show at Paris Expo or want a modern, family-friendly base with a killer rooftop view, and don't mind a 20-minute metro ride to the Louvre.
Varför människor älskar det
- The 'Pedzouille La Grange' rooftop restaurant offers rustic vibes and stunning Eiffel Tower views
- Design isn't boring corporate beige—think 'tribal chic' with yoga mats in every room
- Literally steps from the Porte de Versailles Metro and Expo center
Snabb Överblick: A surprisingly cool business hotel that tries hard to be a lifestyle destination, but you can't escape the fact that it's next to a convention center and a ring road.
Recenserat av @TheWonderingEnglishman: I actually liked this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast was really high standard. The rooftop view over Paris is fantastic—that alone makes it special. Just know the location isn't central and lacks those cute roadside wine spots.

Reality check
The 'separate toilet' layout (toilet in one closet, sink/shower in another) confuses and annoys international guests, and the water pressure is frequently described as weak.
- You are attending an event at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles (it's next door)
- You want a modern, reliable room with good AC (rare in Paris)
- You enjoy rooftop dining and don't mind being outside the historic center
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests note missed dusting on high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and mold-free, but the open-plan sink area can get messy with water splashing.
- Maintenance: New property (opened ~2020), so fixtures are still in good condition; occasional reports of broken AC controls.
- Linens & towels: Crisp white linens, standard hotel quality. Towels can feel a bit thin.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature fragrance; rooms are generally neutral but check for mustiness in lower floor rooms.

Not really. It's about 4.5km away. You can see it from the roof, but it's a 20-minute taxi or 30-minute metro ride to actually visit.

No private hotel parking. You must use the public 'Parking P6' nearby, which costs around €38-40 per 24 hours.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. It costs ~€20.50 per person. It's a decent buffet, but pricey.
Can I open the windows?
Yes, windows generally open slightly for fresh air, but be warned of the traffic noise.
Is the area safe?
Yes, the 15th is a safe, residential, and business district. It's busy during the day and quieter at night.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'Tribal Chic' lobby theme is weirdly immersive, featuring a fake bivouac and safari benches
💡The bathroom sink is often in the main room area, not in a separate room, which offers zero privacy
💡Elevators can be a nightmare wait during big Expo events (9am/6pm)
💡You are technically on the edge of Paris, bordering the suburb of Vanves
💡The 'Eco-friendly' housekeeping means they might not change your towels unless you throw them on the floor aggressively
