Hôtel Josephine by Happyculture

Good location very close to Moulin Rouge, but older property in average condition.

The staff was so friendly and welcoming and my room was spotless! Love this hotel.

Lovely stay and lovel staff

Nice hotel. Great location

It had charm and the staff was excellent, but the room was incredibly small. My legs were hanging off the bed, but I amtall and I should have remembered from my last trip to Paris that French hotels, unless is an American chain are going to be small. Otherwise, my stay was wonderful except for the one night when I returned from dinner and was locked out.

Great place to stay :)

The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond in helping to get me my passport when I realized I left it in my room after I checked out. Wonderful neighborhood. I would stay here again and encourage my friends to stay here too

Nice experience

Everything great. Awesome area too for nightlife and other stuff.

Great hotel in a great location. Lovely family room. We walked to Montmartre every evening for dinner. Great atmosphere. Metro really close and we used the bus across the road too. Hotel staff super friendly and really helpful. Breakfast good. Free hot drinks all round. We would stay here again. Family of 3 for 3 nights.

Amazing hotel, friendly staff and in a great location

Many choices around the hotel

Great location easily accessible via the metro with great options for food and coffee in the area. With Montmarte an easy walk I found it a good location for our family visit with a 9 year old. Staff at the hotel very helpful and would recommend staying here as a base to explore Paris.

Excellent stay, pleasant staff!

Amazing staff and stay, will return.

Recently renovated but on the cheap. Rooms tiny

This hotel was a safe and welcoming place to land during a very scary and stressful time for me and my daughter during our Paris vacation in June. Wangmo greeted us at check in and made us feel immediately welcome and took extra care to make our stay comfortable. The area around the hotel is amazing - restaurants, easy access to metro stations and an incredible bakery up the street. Breakfast spread was wonderful - my daughter is still talking about the scrambled eggs. I can't wait to return to Paris and this hotel and the incredible staff will always be a part of our itinerary. Thank you so much.

This hotel has the potential to be absolutely brilliant I don’t quite understand how it has been awarded 4 stars. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room but no mugs so I took some paper cups from reception. The towels were very standard not very big or very thick and they never smelled freshly washed. The room itself was clean and tidy however the bathroom needed some work e.g. the shower screen did not close so wasn’t water tight and the skirting boards had some serious water damage. Everywhere needed dusting skirting boards etc had a thick layer of dust that you could visibly see (no one is clearly doing spot checks) and the sliding doors to the bathroom/toilet were covered in water marks that clearly hadn’t been wiped down in quite sometime. It was very budget hotel standards for 4 stars. The air conditioning/heating unit made an awful noise that seemed to get worse and sounded like a phone vibrating every few minutes or a ship fog horn. Please do not get me wrong it was fine for a budget hotel and the bed was very comfortable but this was not budget hotel and I would not recommend to a friend or stay again. Someone mentioned to us that the hotel had almost finished their renovation save for the stairs I find this hard to believe giving the state of the bathroom!

Staff were lovely, the room was fantastic (a fridge and iron would have been nice though). We weren’t told they were having a renovation, or that the lift was broke (we were on the 6th floor). The stairs were littered with tripping hazards (vacuum cleaners and cleaning equipment everywhere) and really unsafe. We would have had to find alternative accommodation if we had our kids with us. A great place to stay… once the renovations are completed!

A lovely quirky hotel, very clean, comfortable and a great location.

Thank you Wagmo for your help! We had a great time!

The property was under construction and the elevator did not work when we arrived. There was no place to sit or have breakfast. The room was nice but our door would not lock.

Good hotel for a short stay in Paris. The breakfast room was being refurbished whilst I was there so the options were limited.

This hotel is quirky, handy for visiting Montmartre and close to the metro. However, there is absolutely NO sound proofing in the rooms so prepare to hear EVERYTHING that your neighbour does! There was also a strange door between my room into the neighbouring room, and although locked, it wasn’t clear whether it could be unlocked from the other side or not, so I did not feel it was particularly safe or secure.

Great location. The hotel was comfortable and the staff friendly and ready to help when needed. We stayed in a family room and found this to have enough space and comfort to make our short break very enjoyable. Breakfast was also good.

Gustav was very helpful with translating for us!

The only criticism that I have about the hotel is the lack of clear signage for the hotel. I was checking in at night and had difficultly locating the hotel because there was no lighting around the signage for the hotel.

Lovely stay at hotel Joséphine. Perfect little hotel which was clean and well equipped. Close to metro and within easy reach of Montmartre.

The reception was lovely

Great location very accessible to the Blanche Metro. The hotel was comfortable while close to Pigalle the street was quiet. The staff were helpful and my room was ready for checkin on arrival.

This is my new favourite hotel in Paris

Lovely hotel, excellent receptionist. He could not do enough for us. Nice to have coffee and drinks available in reception also. The only minor fault was it was a little noisy

Great Area - Beautiful Hotel

Staff were friendly, hotel lived up to my expectations for the price and location. only drawback was the lighting was quite dull but this didnt impact my stay, only my ability to apply makeup!

Staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Excelent staff and attentive, buffet breakfast was perfect and the location ideal for exploring.

Beautiful boutique hotel, great staff, good food and overall, excellent experience! Thank you guys!😊

Just checked out at Hotel Josephine and had a lovely stay! Hotel was very cute, rooms were nice, and everyone we interacted with at front desk was very kind and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Our shower flooded and I had to clean it every night… however with that said everything else was perfect! Breakfast was delish… staff was awesome and gave great suggestions… the area, hotel, and room gorgeous. Best experience and would stay there again!

From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were greeted with warmth and even allowed to check in early since our room was ready. We stayed in Room 01, conveniently located next to reception, which was ideal for me due to my knee issues. However, if you're a light sleeper, you might want to choose a different room, as you can hear guests checking in and out, as well as the staff preparing for breakfast. My family and I weren’t disturbed at all—we can sleep through anything! The room itself was spacious, as was the bathroom. The staff were incredibly attentive; Wangmo noticed me struggling to walk and kindly offered ice for my knees and helped me to my chair. I had read the positive reviews before booking, and I can confirm they are accurate. The staff truly go above and beyond to ensure their guests are comfortable. The location is excellent, with plenty of shops nearby and just a 5-minute walk to the metro or bus stop. We would definitely stay here again. I usually don't write reviews, but I was so impressed by the level of care that I felt compelled to share my experience. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful stay!

Not a 4-star by any stretch of the imagination…lighting is dim.

Great location, Lovely Staff Breakfast runs out quickly and not replenished - better off getting it out in one of Paris' many amazing bakeries. Room small as expected but functional and nicely done. Much needed and appreciated air con!

Lovely well decorated hotel. The breakfast was delicious. Thanks to Isabelle who looked after us and made sure we were fed before we checked out. She was also very helpful on reception. Woman with many talents# the hotel is lucky to have her. She had a helper on breakfast who was also very polite and helpful but I didn't catch her name. Very nice stay. Would stay again for sure.

Clean and cozy. Super friendly staff. Free iced water in lobby. The only complains is that there is no standup shower in the bathroom (only a bathtub) so the floor gets wet when you wash your hair. But other than that we had a very happy stay. 2 minutes walk to Moulin Rogue and the metro station and plenty eateries around. Very happy about the location.

very good hotel

Everything at this hotel was perfect. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable, clean and AC worked. Would definitely stay again

I liked the hotel itself. It is beautiful and cozy. Comfy beds. Breakfast was delicious! The only drawback is noise from neighbors. The rooms/doors have no insulation. My neighbors check in at 1 am and woke me up by slamming doors and loudly speaking! You should let people know to be quiet at night, because most of the customers would like to get a good sleep!

Great location

Great breakfast and amenities it feels like home.

Remember that you are in Europe and the rooms are not huge. The hotel, staff and location are excellent!

Cozy hotel with appealing retro style and friendly staff. It would have been nice to have had a shower and not just a bathtub (or at least a shower curtain around the bathtub) and a USB charging plug.

Staff were so friendly and treated us really well. Great location and easy to walk into the city or to Montmartre area. Would recommend for families.

Really impressed with the hotel. Plenty of space in the three bedroom. Only downsize was sleeping on a z bed for the third person.

It was an awesome place an convenient

Charming, lots of charcter. Very dilligent and welcoming staff. Clean, Unique decor and guest amenities. Quirky and fun; the feel of the old-style small independant hotels ,but has avoided the formulaic sterility of the (American) franchise model.

The Hotel is in a great location, it is only 30 min walk to Louvre, 5 min walk to Moulin Rouge and metro station. Loads of places to eat around and only 15 min walk to Lafayette shopping centre. The hotel itself is quite small and I’m not sure it meets the 4 star standards, breakfast selection quite limited too. The staff is really nice and friendly though, nothing was too much to ask for, lovely to deal with.

We were 3 friends and I was a fantastic choice! I recommend this hotel 100%

Room facilities not quite at a level to score higher, but good stay, helpful staff and clean

Perfect place for a quick visit to Paris when all you want is a clean, central hotel to get some rest. Incredible value. The rooms are small but really well thought-out with everything you need and a decent shower. The breakfast is served in what used to be the cellar so exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings etc which is very cool, although quite cramped.

Walkable to attractions.

Great location with nice bars and restaurants near by. Metro 5 min walk. Moulin Rouge at the top of the street. Good breakfast and friendly staff.

The hotel is quite basic, they don’t serve any meals except breakfast, the room coffee comes with paper cups and there’s no fridge. But it’s clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, it’s really close to the Moulin Rouge and about 10-15 minutes walk to the Opera area. We would stay here again.

Love and enjoy the breakfast very much! Will be back.. 😊

Nice and unique atmosphere, good mix between old look and modern ammenities and clean rooms. Breakfast was very good for Paris. Location is very good to restaurants cafe's and mont martre.

Good location but in an area very crowded and with tons of noise at night (1 am). We stayed one night, the staff was very nice. The hotel needs an update, for a night it was ok. Close to the metro and train stations.

A wonderful stay with a clean, functional room with lovely touches and very friendly staff.

Friendly Staff

Great location - friendly and helpful staff

Everything at Josephine was superb. The espresso in the lobby, the room, the cleanness. The breakfast was exceptional, tasty and fresh every day. Hanna did an excellent job at welcoming us and making feel us at home. Thank you to the whole staff

Great place to stay!

Very convenient location. 15 min walk to Montmartre. Lots of restaurant to choose from. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is a bit old. The sink shelf was crooked so the towels kept sliding down and since the location is in the middle of bars and restaurants, it can get pretty noisy at night. The bed was comfortable and we got everything we needed. The hotel also provides filtered water. If you bring your own bottle, you can fill it up at the lobby and there is also a variety of tea and coffee drinks free of charge. I highly recommmend staying at this hotel if you are not extremely picky.

This place was awesome clean in great location. The front desk staff were so so nice and helpful. A lovely stay and highly recommend!!!!

Amazing! Highly recommended. Great staff.

Hotel was super cute and the staff was friendly and helpful. Perfect for solo travel.

The staff are helpful. Loved the colourful decor in the foyer and rooms.

I stayed with my partner for two nights. Check in easy and the staff were lovely. Free coffee and tea in the lobby as well as a water fountain to fill bottles or cups. Room was mostly clean but our feet were dirty walking barefoot on the laminate flooring. The bed was comfy and room decor very nice. We did have an issue with the shower door leaking which meant we pretty much flooded the whole room before noticing, and had to mop up with towels. Unfortunately reception was not able to access fresh towels for us so moved us to another room, we were really happy with how it was dealt with. The shower doors open inwards and outwards so don't really seal properly so it's important to point the shower away from the door as much as possible. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Moulin Rouge and all transport networks. We parked in St Denis Indigo car park near the RER station and bought tickets for the tram and metro which took us to the station 5 mins from the hotel.

Lovely hotel, lovely stay!

Stayed from Aug 13, 2023 to Aug 15, 2023 Nice and clean hotel with accommodating staff. Over all good hotel

Great staff and service. Only dislike was that the hotel and rooms smelled like smoke, even thought we had non-smoking rooms.

Very helpful desk staff (Fallon) Our first room had a broken AC so we were moved after 2 nights to a new room and complimentary breakfast included. Very nice staff, great location and great rooms for families.

Such a beautiful place and such helpful staff. Great location too, easy to get to from Gare Du Nord

Charming boutique hotel. Excellent service.

We stayed in adjoining rooms 306 and 307. The rooms are small and quaint, but are quite up to date including plumping features. Beds were comfortable. There are blackout drapes, but the installation is a little too far out from the window allowing for some street light noise and morning light to come in. We made it a bit better by leaning items against the walls and drapes on either side and clipping them together at the centre. The windows are new, so my guess is that the street noise is coming in from the surrounding frame, but not all that bad - 306 was worse as it is facing the street, and 307 was facing the back courtyard. The AC was a small issue as a vibration would occur every few minutes. This was fixed quickly, but returned again a day or two later then fixed again quickly. The TVs are equipped with Chromecasts, but the instructions weren’t clear that the input must be changed. This required the use of the original TV remote in which only one of the rooms had. The shower temperature valve in room 306 remained in the max hot temperature setting. This didn't end up being fixed during our stay - we just used the shower in the adjoining room. Overall, it was a decent stay.

Very nice hotel with a lot of Paris character. The staff has been excellent and we enjoyed walking to Moulin Rouge, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and the Arch de Triumph...all in one day. Food options are abundant. Parking is available in a nearby garage, but it is a tight fit and you need a GPS to get to it due to all the one-way roads (going to opposite way you need to go). Our room is very small, but nice, and has no fridge. The lobby has a small amount of drink options, but they have no ice on the premises. In the end, nice stay and I would recommend it for a night or two.

Everyone was very nice.

Sink doesn’t work

It located in a very touristic and connected area. However very noisy at night . Not crazy but not silent for sleeping. The hotel is great clean people kind and always helping.

This hotel has a cool vibe/decor! Our room was unique in design and felt romantic, especially the window that leads to the little balcony overlooking the city (we were in the top floor corner room and the only one with a balcony). Breakfast was great and really enjoyed the atmosphere in the cellar area. The negatives would be that there’s nowhere close to park on arrival to unload (only parking garages that are several blocks away) and then our room didn’t have a shower - only a bathtub - which was very surprising! Otherwise we enjoyed our time here and the location was nice (close to restaurants, metro, and Moulin Rouge). Would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a very Parisian & boutique experience and not a big chain hotel.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This place is amazing. Had such an amazing time. Perfect Location. Friendly and accommodating staff…just PERFECT

Pretty good hotel, but some staff on reception little bit unprofessional - ask me to pay for hotel stay twice and took my time to find the information that I already paid((( and something weird happened with cleaning room, even if we ask to clean our room on reception it was not cleaned at all. Room is not to big but it is Paris)) Good location.

Great place to stay, so convenient to all the places I wanted to see in the area. Perfect location, staff were the best.

We had a wonderful stay, our room was beautiful. The staff were so welcoming and friendly

One of the cheaper Paris hotels on Hotels.com. Wasn’t expecting much. Lovely, lovely hotel. Excellent location, just down the road from Blanche Metro and Moulin Rouge (check out the fantastic boulangerie (Aux Delices de Moulin) just up the street. Relaxing reception area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely stay here again!

Great location! Front desk was very helpful with all our needs:)

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and fairly big, with laminate flooring, a big plus if you have allergies. Breakfast was tasty.

I stayed at the hotel with my older sister, who came to see Paris for the first time. Our impression of the hotel was most positive. The location is great, near nice restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, and metro stations. The rooms / bathrooms are impeccable. The decor is quaint, lively, colourful, and fun. Breakfasts are varied and delicious coffee and fresh pastries and bread are available on top of eggs and sausage and cereal and cold cuts. But beyond the cleanliness, the decor and the location, I want to emphasize the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Everyone was pleasant, friendly, and just overall lovely. This small hotel is a true gem.

I was very happy with my stay here. The room was cute with a very nice soaking tub. The location is good. The breakfast here was also great. I would stay here again. J'etais tres content de mon sejour ici!

The hotel was in a very convenient area because you could explore Monmartre which was close by and at the same time the metro station was a few metres away and you could be wherever you wanted in a few minutes. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. If the rooms were a little bit bigger I would be more than satisfied.

Absolutely amazing hotel brilliant staff beautiful rooms and perfect location. Nothing was too much trouble. Could not fault at all

It was an amazing stay! It was so great, I went ahead and booked for the Olympics for 2024.
