The ambience and history of the building is amazing. The staff were keen to share with us the properties of the hotel and were clearly very proud of it. Our bedroom was very grand and glamorous and full of charm. The swimming pool/spa area was very welcome in the blistering Paris heat. The staff went above and beyond to ensure you had an excellent stay.

We had no WiFi connection in the bedroom or in the breakfast room, but only in the front salon. This made it awkward for checking travel arrangements. The hotel was very evocative of La belle eopoque but it did mean it was quite dark in places, which made it hard to navigate.

Hotel was beautiful and staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, giving us the background of the hotel on check-in. The private access to the pool and sauna was a really nice treat.

Only small things- for such an upmarket and expensive hotel it would be nice if things like water and laundry service were complimentary. Also, I was there on my honeymoon with my wife, which the staff did not ask about. This I have absolutely no issue with as a respect of privacy, but a staff member did refer to us as friends, which I could’ve done without.

If privacy is what you’re after, then the hotel gives that overall feeling of separation from the outside world, and intimacy that we as a couple sought from our romantic Paris getaway. The history of the location was reflected in the decor, which gave character to the hotel and paid homage to its origins. It ticked every box in this respect!

There are spaces within the hotel that are dark and semi-secluded. The dim lighting is not dissimilar to a casino where the intention is to disorientate and cause the individual to lose track of space and time. Though the place is not vast, it’s possible to lose one’s bearings in the hotel…or their footing - as my partner did when she missed a step and fell down the stairs. Despite this, there is nothing else to fault about the hotel.

Breakfast was classic French and very good. The staff responded very precisely to our wishes, although the menu was quite manageable, everyone was able to find something to start the morning with. Everything was very fresh: mini crossaints, baguette (a bit hard) but still delicious, freshly made eggs in all variations, freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee and hot chocolate to lay in. The staff was always very careful that we didn't need anything and responded to our every wish, no matter how complex it seemed. My wife has back problems, so she generally has trouble sleeping, but in the two nights she slept like on clouds 10 out of 10 in terms of sleep quality.

My wife comes from the area of ​​facility service in hotels, bars, accommodation etc. and through her many years of experience has developed a very meticulous eye for cleanliness in these facilities. Unfortunately, not only she but also I had to realize that the bathroom wasn't really clean: smears on the doors of the cabin and mirrors, water stains, make-up residue around the sink, dust in the corners or on bulges above the heads that you can't see directly true. In addition, the WiFi was in short less than modest and I had a better connection on my personal cell phone. At such a price, I expect that at least the room is in perfect condition and that there is no dirt in the bathroom. I hope u can improve in this areas for our next visit in Paris!

Everything about my stay here was perfect, from walking in and being warmly greeted by Sarah, who took me through the hotel and explained its compelling history, to being shown to my room with a complimentary delicious refreshment. The room itself blew me away (first time I've stayed anywhere this nice), the furnishings were stunning and the bath was huge - had to have one immediately. Had a drink in the hotel bar and it was also beautiful, as was the service, before going to the private pool and steam room which was an experience I'd never had before! In the morning the breakfast served in bed (or downstairs if you prefer) was tasty and fresh and a real treat :) Had the best birthday there and would definitely recommend this romantic hotel with perfect service.

My brother and I travelled to Paris from London and stayed at Maison Souquet last week. The hotel is exceptional. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by friendly staff. Upon check-in, we received a tour of the hotel’s main rooms. It is an intimate and lavish setting. You are transported back in time by its 19th century decor; the Hotel had once been a high end brothel and the Hotel honors that history by its efforts to decorate in the style that would have been used at that time. The guilded walls, stained glass and marble surfaces give a rich inviting feel. There is sort of an Egyptian vibe in the lobby which makes sense for the time period in France. The hotel bar, well adorned in red velvet (as is the rest of the hotel’s first floor), is run by an attentive bar staff who expertly craft all manner of drink. You feel as if you’ve found a secret spot, because you have. Breakfast choices were more than adequate and the food was excellent; for us the cheese plate with fresh bread was the favorite. The guest rooms are beautiful, each one slightly different and honored with the name of an actual former woman of the night. Honoring these women seemed appropriate and necessary. It is located in a great part of Paris, right down the road from the Moulin Rouge and metro stop, but far enough away to still be quiet. If you don’t know about the Hotel, you could miss it from the street. The Hotel is small (just 20 rooms) but that enables the staff to provide the guests they have with extra special care. We can’t wait to go back!

This hotel is in an great location very close to Moulin Rouge and it's unique feature is that you can book their private pool and steam room (they call it a spa) for 1 hour a day while you're staying there. It's located under ground but is very nicely decorated, although a bit bare. Book it before you travel as the slots get filled every day and you won't want to miss it. Our biggest issue with this hotel was that we expected much better room facilities from a five star hotel. I mean you don't even get tea/coffee facilities and no iron or ironing board. Also being a spa hotel you would expect better toiletries in the room and some options for the "spa" even if you have to pay for them. So if you're planning to use the "spa" then make sure to take your own products as none are provided. In the spa there is no option for background music which in my opinion is another shortcoming to make the guest experience better. In one evening we dined at the lovely restaurant and that was great. All the food was prepared from preserved produce so no cooking but it was still very delicious and the decor is just lovely.

No tea/coffee facilities in the room, just two small bottles of water and no iron or ironing board in the room.

At first I was unsure. Whilst the hotel is decorated throughout like something from a previous century, it is beautiful. Dark velvet drapes soak up sound, and it is always quiet which is amazing as the hotel is around 100m from Moulin Rouge. The staff are wonderful. We were assured most rooms were occupied but it felt like we were the only guests they had. There is a lovely private spa in the basement which is can be booked for an hour at a time. We took advantage of this facility, which was lovely.

The building itself is not very large, and consequently rooms are really quite small which is of course something they can't change. It is what it is. For me this hotel only works as a place to relax and unwind, preferably with a partner in beautiful surroundings. If that's what you want, you won't be disappointed. Therefore it would not be my go-to hotel for a business trip when one needs facilities for working in the room, but that was never the objective for this trip. In our room WiFi signal was poor, but fortunately we didn't need that.

Very unique stay and perfect for a romantic trip. Staff were excellent and always attentive. Decor in the hotel is great. A good size room with a comfy bed. Bar downstairs is perfect for a pre-dinner drink.

Rooms on the road side can be noisy with the bars nearby but staff were excellent in helping us move to the other side of the hotel. Breakfast is very pricy for the what it includes, should be at least €5-10 cheaper per person.

The staff was very lovely and the atmosphere of the place was cosy, romantic and unique with interesting history. Very nice experience overall, i haven't stayed in a hotel anything like this before. Very kind treatment from staff :) The location of the place is amazing, 1 minute from the metro.

The room was a bit small and it was dark. The spa was fully booked which was a bit sad cause I wanted to try it. Otherwise everything great.
