A small Montmartre hotel where the staff remember your name and the city noise disappears behind the door.
Best for / Tips to get it right
Best for
- Couples planning a celebration: 8 reviews mention the romantic package, some with breakfast served on a private balcony, and the staff go out of their way to make it feel personal.
- Solo travellers who want a base in Montmartre: 35 of 47 reviews highlight the location, and the free snacks and honor bar make the lobby feel like a living room rather than a hotel reception.
- Light sleepers who still want to be central: 9 reviews call the hotel quiet, and one guest specifically noted zero exterior noise despite being in the middle of Paris.
- Food-first travellers: the hotel is surrounded by bakeries and restaurants within a five-minute walk, and several guests suggest skipping the hotel breakfast to eat in the neighbourhood.
Tips to get it right
- Ask for a room with a view or a terrace when you book, several guests mention it as the highlight of their stay and those rooms go first.
- Check if breakfast is included in your rate, as it depends on the package and some guests prefer to eat at the bakeries nearby.
- Request a higher floor or an interior room if street noise bothers you, though most guests find the hotel surprisingly quiet for its location.
- Book the romantic package directly if you want the balcony breakfast, it is not always available through third-party sites.
Why this one
Hotel Des Arts sits on Rue Tholozé, halfway up the Montmartre hill, and 35 of 47 reviews mention the location first. That number matters because it means guests are not just near the sights, they are inside the neighbourhood they came to see. The bakery downstairs, the small restaurants, the walk to the Sacré-Cœur: all of it is on foot, without a metro ride. The second signal is the staff. 34 of 47 reviews call them welcoming or friendly, and several mention small gestures: a room chosen for a celebration, snacks and coffee left out, an honor bar that runs on trust. This is a hotel where the people are the reason some guests come back a second time. And then there is the quiet. 9 of 47 reviews note how peaceful it is, which is unusual for a building this central. One guest put it plainly: zero exterior noise. The rooms are not huge, but 18 reviews describe them as clean and well kept, and 4 single out the bed and pillows as especially comfortable.
What guests keep saying
The reviews repeat three things: location, staff and cleanliness. 74% of the 47 reviews mention the location, often describing Montmartre as the reason they chose the hotel. 72% mention the staff, and the comments go beyond polite service: guests describe being treated like family, with small touches like complimentary snacks and an honor bar. 38% bring up cleanliness, with words like spotless and well maintained. A smaller but consistent group, 19%, highlights how quiet it is, which is rare for a hotel this close to the tourist crowds.

The bit the hotel does not tell you
The hotel offers free soft drinks and sweets, and runs an open honor bar, which several guests mention as the detail that made them feel at home. If you are celebrating something, say so when you book, the staff have a habit of upgrading the experience without being asked. And if you want breakfast on the balcony, ask for the romantic package directly, it is not always listed on booking sites.
