We stayed in two rooms during our visit. My friends had a double room, while I had the single room with a shared bathroom. Both rooms were charming, clean, and peaceful. Although I didn't have a private bathroom, I appreciated having my own sink in the room, which was very convenient. The bed was quite comfortable. I often kept the window open during my time there and found no unpleasant odors drifting in. The hotel's proximity to Les Halles station made it incredibly easy to navigate the city and explore nearby attractions. There were plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance as well. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Despite arriving early in the morning before the official check-in time at 13:00, they kindly allowed us to store our luggage in the lobby. This let us explore the city freely without the burden of carrying our bags.

I didn't mind the windy stairs at all; in fact, they added to the hotel's charming aesthetic. However, it could be challenging for people with larger luggage or mobility issues. The other issue was the free WiFi, which was inconsistent at times. It was difficult to maintain a stable connection, but the speed was impressively fast whenever it worked properly. Resetting your devices might help.

Fantastic location with easy access to the metro for getting around Paris. It feels quintessentially Parisian. Good price for a solo traveller if you don't mind walking to the bathroom or lugging bags up a spiral staircase.

Having to leave keys at the desk every time you go out. Staircase is narrow and a bit wonky, but I respect its an old building. Bedding and pillows a bit thin. Needs a power outlet by the bed.

Needless to say that Hotel du Cygne is perfectly located in the centre of the city centre, walking distance from Pompidou museum, Pinault collection and Louvre. You can walk to go to Marais, to Saint Germain, to Canal Saint Martin, to Tuileries. You only take the metro for the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triompe and Bois de Boulogne. It is located on a pedestrian street yet away from the noisy parts. The room is small, the bathroom is a lot bigger to what you would expect in comparison to the size of the bedroom. Better to stay with a partner or very close friend, as the bed is small/normal size... Overall, it is quite charming and comfy and the location beats any potential concern. Also, we were out all day and only coming back to get some sleep and did not want to spend half our budget on accommodation. If you are these kind of travelers then you will be super happy with Hotel du Cygne!

Well, you wish there was a lift, especially when you carry the suitcase up the floors, but you very quickly get over this.

The location is excellent. It is very near the main attractions in Paris. There’s also plenty of restaurants and cafes. The room was super clean and comfy, (they have great hardworking housekeeping staff) the exception was noise from the street facing room. We could also smell a guest next door secretly smoking away every night and morning. There is no lift so it’s not a convenient place for people with serious mobility issues. Otherwise, everything else is excellent! The staff is friendly and helpful. On our departure day, we needed help getting a cab to the airport. The night front desk staff, a kind young man, helped us( we are old) with our heavy luggage to the Main Street because the taxi couldn’t come in. If not for his help, we would be in a pickle. Thank you so much! Really appreciate his kindness and the hospitality of Hotel Du Cygne. We would definitely stay there again, it’s very clean n comfy but in a non street facing room. Thanks again! ❤️

Don't let old Google Streets photos put you off! This hotel is very presentable from the outside and within. The staff were friendly and when my understanding of French failed they were very accommodating to speak good English (thank you, I am still learning your beautiful language but I speak more than I understand!). The hotel is very well situated for many of the attractions including Notre Dame and the Louvre; it's about an hour's walk to the Eiffel Tower and close to Metro/RER stops. Our top floor room was charming, with a decent bathroom and a good shower, a safe, a proper wardrobe and tea/coffee facilities albeit with no milk sachets. The breakfast was a cold selection of croissants, baguette bread with butter, orange juice, preserves and a rather novel (for British tastes anyway) foil sealed pot of apple sauce. Coffee also provided. All for 8€. We tried it one day but decided on something hot from a local café the day after. I would certainly stay here again, it's a nice little find right in the heart of things.

The stairs! We were on the third floor. There is no lift (elevator) that I was aware of and anyone with mobility issues would do well to secure a lower floor room. In a similar vein the floors of this old, timber-framed building are very uneven and slope quite alarmingly in the room we had. It's characteristic of these buildings of course, and we were ok, but anyone a bit unsteady on their feet might feel impaired. It was very warm being in the attic rooms and there is no air-conditioning though I did see some fans downstairs so I feel sure they would provide one.

Old parisian building. Beautiful. Comfortable bed. Great location.

The only challenge was there was only one consistent working outlet in my room and it was not near my bed, desk or chair.

A well-run, non-chain hotel perfectly located for many of the Paris attractions. It is in the middle of the pedestrianised area around St Eustache & Les Halles so there are plenty of restaurants nearby but it was pretty quiet for such a busy area. It is an old building, so don't expect massive rooms, lifts and modern air con - we were given a welcome fan during the hot spell. Desk is staffed 24/7, you can leave luggage and you get a reasonably priced French breakfast (hot drink/croissant/roll & jam). Friendly & helpful staff.

The location was awesome, 10/10 walked to all my tourist attractions, uber back from the Arc and Effiel 12€ but that was about it. France is bit dark in the mornings 7ish thought it was going to be scary with all the stories u hear, I mean be aware of ur surroundings but I was running in the morning and felt the city was busyish everyone getting on with life. could see how the stairs could be a problem for some, so need to be agile. Staff offered to help. Room service was excellent and staff on reception left me to get on with my holiday. ⭐️

Not real dislikes, just a thought I’m not sure how it could be done eco friendly but a bit of conditioner or moisturiser, it is Paris n room decor could provide a vibe.

This is a wonderfully cozy budget-style hotel run by a caring and attentive staff. I've stayed here three times now and always enjoy the experience. While the rooms are small (to be expected) and there are lots of stairs, it's exactly what a top quality stay should be in the budget category and the breakfast option is perfect - juice, tea, coffee, croissants, fresh baguette and a bit of fruit all for 8 euros. We love this little hotel located just steps from the Les Halles station and the RER to the airport, in the 1st Arr. Thank you for another wonderful stay.

Excellent location, just round the corner from a metro station and a little further to RER and metro lines at Les Halles. Lots of lovely bars and restaurants all around. Very old building which has been cleverly adapted. Original beams in places, lots of character with a fascinating twisty staircase. Very nice staff. Very good value breakfast - delicious fresh baguette and a croissant with fruit juice and coffee for €8. Room was warm and comfortable with all we needed. Really enjoyed our stay.

A bit noisy at night as it is in the middle of the restaurant area. Our room was very compact, cleverly designed so it worked but no space for larger luggage (we had small bags only). Bathroom was fresh and modern but the shower was very narrow and difficult to move about in. Stairs up are an irregular spiral so a bit challenging if you find stairs a challenge.
