Hotel Touring - Paris

Very clean but small room. Excellent location. Walking distance to many venues. Close to underground station. Breakfast OK but extra charge.

Lovely helpful staff, very clean and perfectly situated hotel - but the double bed was 2 singles put together, which for a romantic weekend away, isn't very useful.

I booked this hotel to take part at the Paris Marathon. I reached the Arc de Triomphe (starting line) by feet... It is a nice hotel how the place where it is located. Two metrò station, good restaurants nearby and the Sacre Coeur too.

I was extremely pleased with Hotel Touring. The room was not large but had two enormous windows and high ceilings and was perfectly adequate, with plenty of closet space and a large spotless bathroom (with a really deep tub and another huge window). Every member of the staff that I encountered was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient and close to several Metro stations. I will definitely book there again next year.

It was my second time at this hotel and it reconfirmed the good impression it made me the first time. Rooms are small but very functional and quite. The bathroom of the room was always clean. The location is great and safe. Definetely an hotel to go back to!

4 days in Paris. Dubble Room on the top and on the back.

excellent location for shopping. Good restaurants all around

very helpful

Very nice !

It was a very nice and confortable stay in central Paris. We suggest it to other guests of every age! Just a suggestion for the Hotel staff: we suggest You to insert FRESH FRUIT in the breakfast; so it could be perfect! ;-) Antonello and Rita, recently married couple from Sardinia

I stayed in a single room, which I was suprised at the size of when I entered. Very spacious for a hotel in the centre of Paris with everything you needed and a very nice maintained bathroom. Unfortunately this was the only positive I can say about this hotel. I was in a room at the front of the hotel which was very noisy throughout the night. You could easily hear the cars and people outside and also the bin men who came at 0600 hours every morning. There was also constant banging downstairs at ridiculous hours of the night for some reason. The front of house staff were not friendly or welcoming from the first point of contact. Quite rude and took a while to help you if they were on the computer or sorting files. Saying that I spoke to a lady on my last night who was very friendly and warm and the cleaning staff are also very happy and friendly which was a nice suprise and maybe should be on reception not cleaning! The issue of having to pay for wi fi is crazy also, its 2012 and they must know that it is an essential part of everyones lifes now and so they are probably doing it to make a little extra money. I would probably only recommend this hotel if you are out all day and that you request a room near the back of the hotel as it may be quieter.

First time staying at the Touring, and hopefully not the last one. Good location and excellent service. If you get a special offer on room rates, don't hesitate!

The interaction was no so good,the satff was no so polite as in other hotels I was.

out of 3 met, only the one friendly and helpful receptionist.

Excellent. Very comfortable rooms.

Great place to stay in Paris! Rooms are spacious and clean. Very close to metro and other places to visit at walking distance including shops and restaurants. The staff was not very welcoming but we didn't see them much. Our stay was great!

It was everything excellent. Only the breakfast was really not good. But doesn^t matter.

Staff very indifferent, if not even quite unpolite. Room (n. 44) very, very small; the two of us kept bumping one into the other when moving around the room. For the price required (110 euros a night) I think that they should at least offer free Wi-FI; they asked 2 euros for 1 hour! And if you wants to use the safe,you have to pay for that too! Moreover, no fridge. And breakfast at 10 euros per person! Are they serving golden eggs? I understand, Paris is a very expensive town, but still!! Not to be recommended.

The room was very clean and smelt fresh. It was very quiet, and no air pollution at all from the street. There were Chinese, Japanese and Korean restaurants all over the area, and very good access to the Metro. Only thing was I had to pay 4 Euro for an hour's Wifi, and one of the cleaners must have been in a rush, cos one night I returned to find that my clothes had fallen from the chair where they'd been draped earlier. Other than that Chandra was great, although Paul gave me the impression of insincerity, although he said everything with a smile, but maybe it's just my impression? I think this room would not be suitable in summer, cos there's no airconditioning.

An old fashioned but typically, a small Parisien Hotel. Little rooms, tiny walls, and if you got the chance (!), you can easily hear laughs of the next room couple. The breakfast was not included, and the price is not quite good, even thouhg we stayed there in off seasun (January).

The Hotel was in a very good location, easy to reach from the Metro. We had two ajoining rooms which were excellent, one for my two grandchildren and the other for my daughter and myself. The Hotel staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. We were disappointed with the breakfast, especially the bread, which is normally so good in Paris, not good value at 10 euros per person. Lots of good places to eat in the surrounding area. We would definitely stay there again when in Paris.

Hotel touring is a homey family owned hotel. The owner of the hotel went out of his way to make our first visit to Paris enjoyable and memorable. The handicap room is spacious, well equipped and very comfortably placed on the ground floor. The staff always answered our questions with patience and expertise. They advised us about transportation and sites. The owner went out of his way to help us with our scooter that broke down in the middle of our visit. It's a small quaint and conveniently located hotel in easy walking distance to the magnificent Opera Garniere. There is a supermarket close by for snacks and water. The hotel provided us with hot water for tea whenever we asked. We will definitely stay at Hotel Touring whenever we visit Paris.

Quiet place in the centre of Paris. All services O.K.

Had a wonderful 7 night stay. Room was very clean and size was up to European standards. Staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Location could not be better--within walking distance to just about everything. Great neighborhood--felt safe, with plenty of great restaurants, cafes, etc. nearby.

There were three of us in a room with a single and a double bed - it was VERY crowded. There were no drawers for clothes. I think any extra furniture was removed to put in another bed. It was an additional expense to get a safe deposite box for valuables in the room, which was outrageous given rooms were 150 euros a night. The internet was inconvenient because you had to go to the front desk and pay ever time you wanted an extra hour. There was construction going on in the hallway, so that area was a mess. The rooms on the internet site made the hotel look incredible and elegant, but it was cramped and nothing special. The sitting room downstairs was full of chairs, and next to it was an open area they were storing all kinds of odds and ends. Not attractive. The rooms were clean and the bathroom was nice. It was convenient to the Metro stop. there was a good pizza restaurant on the corner.

Great value for money, good location

Very central location halfway between Gare du Nord/Gare de l'Est and the Opera/Grands Magasins. Lots of cafes, restaurants (many open late) and shops within a couple of blocks. Room is smallish (but on par with European hotels). Superb soundproofing thanks to double-pane windows. No free WiFi, but for EUR 6 you get two hours to be used at your discretion. (I grew up in Paris, still have family there, would stay at the Touring again.)

absolutely important include breakfest in the price. So, it'd be a perfect 3 stars hotel

good hotel for 3* and the price, rooms were small - but it was o.k. for only sleeping, breakfast was o.k., location of the hotel very good, friendly staff

Room was excellent. Good quality overall. Breakfast at Euro 10 was good value. A nice touch would be free internet access.

A really excellent stay. We were very pleased indeed with the rooms provided and location. Near enough to walk to the centre or travel in on the metro but in a quiet street in well placed area. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the hotel was good value for money. Would definitely recommend and hope to return for another stay in the not too distant future!

Excellent and very recommended hotel

One really feel at home at the hotel. The location is perfect for a Paris visit. Lots of small shops nearby, close to the Metro. Very helpfull staff !

WE WERE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE AND LOCATION.YOU MADE OUR FIRST VISIT TO PARIS A VERY MEMORABLE ONE.IT WAS VERY GOOD THAT WE COULD GET ONTO THE HOP ON HOP OFF BUS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE,SINCE WE ONLY HAD 2 NIGHTS IN PARIS. I REALLY ENJOYED HAVING A BATHTUB AGAIN TOO. WE WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR HOTEL.

ENGLISH. All perfect. After reading the conditions that many hotels in Paris have and the comments of people in general, this hotel was great. Bathroom clean and linen change daily. Staff was friendly, Italian language is an optional, few few word, but you know, english, spanish and naturally french when go out of Italy. The rooms are medium small size but still livable. Even the design is nice. Good impression also recreation rooms on the ground floor. The photos on the site are when the hotel was new, like all the photos of the hotel on internet, but is still well kept. Attention: the hotel is very quiet, one evening a group of people made noise,etc... the reception called the police...all out. So, if you plan to do vacation in search of movement, confusion, and wild nights I would choose something else. In future, if I return to Paris, immediately look to this hotel for go back to my accommodation. Location: there is everything in the neighborhood. You are almost in the center: boulangerie, small restaurants, Bistros, the popular restaurant Chartier just a few metro stops, pharmacies...Starbucks,McDonald,Supermarket and Metro Cadet entry to 100,150 meters. So, for me, highly recommended! Sorry for my english ITALIAN. Copy on google translate.

It was a great surprise to see that the hotel was excactly as shown on the web page!!!

good hotel,situated in central area

Fantastic location, extremely clean, friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Breakfast was fine if a little expensive, but convenient and staff were very accommodating even if you arrived quite late! Would certainly recommend if you intend seeing as much of Paris as you can. It's very easy to get to and centrally placed.

Hotel is in a very good area and is within a short distance of Cadet metro. Our cleaning staff were excellent. However, our room was on the small side but then price was very reasonable. What annoyed me was a lot of hammering on Weds. 23 Feb. that went on for a long time. We had just returned from a fabulous day out at Versailles around four pm and could have done with a little peace. In fairness there were two other hotels on either side so maybe that knocking came from one of those hotels. It was persistent though!! The Reception Staff all male were very polite and efficient. However, everytime we went out or in it seemed to be the same lad we were dealing with. Little things mean a lot - and So although always polite and efficient he never once smiled. I thought when we paid our Bill on 23rd Feb.he might have said something like: "I hope you enjoyed your stay" Or "Goodbye safe journey". No such luck! But overall hotel is well worth a visit

Would highly recommend this hotel, for such a low price its is brilliantly located, metro is 5 mins away, has good facilities with lots of hot water. Staff were friendly and helpful, loads of nice places to eat nearby Will definitely be back!!!

At Hotel Touring we had two twin rooms, one was spacious with a bath and shower, the other was cramped with a tiny shower I think it was room 28, by the stairs on the first floor, and the stairwell took up room-space. However, the rooms were clean, the staff were friendly. There was no coffee making facility in either room, which we knew in advance so we brought a kettle with us. This hotel is brilliantly located for Gare du Nord (Eurostar) and sightseeing around Paris using the metro. The area has some nice quaint shopping arcades, French bars and restaurants and a local starbucks and McDonalds if you are feeling homesick! Also a local Supermarket open til midnight. The metro is even closer than a 5 minute walk - more of a one minute walk. All in all very pleased with our choice.

Hotel is small and quiet, rooms are nice. Breakfast is for extra 10 euros, but it was worth it. I didn't like that they ask extra for Internet access.

This is the first time I have stayed at Hotel Touring and I would certainly return there on my next visit to Paris. Only complaint is the very strong smell of paint in the bedroom which persisted all during my stay even with the window open even though the weather was very cold! Bathroom very small but functional with a splendid large shower and plenty of hot water. Breakfast (paid apart at 10euro) was not very varied or interesting.

excellent location good price for the quality

good location,and the room is very big,but the smell in the Hotel Lobby is not very good.But the room is ok.

the breakfast is very bad (croissant are awfuland the same things for the others pastries) et very expensive, you'd better have your breakfast to the famous fast food which is near... the room is correct, the welcoming cold

The staff is not polite, 85 €/night for the double is a good price, but the room was very small, and the very bad breakfast was 10 €. The room and the hotel was quite dusty. The hotel is close to the metro but in baris you can find better...

The best hotel we've had through venere.com, the room was most spacious which is not often found in the middle of Paris.

I missed some meat for the breakfast. The elevator is good, but quite small.

The hotel staff was very helpful, the breakfast was very good (an upgrade on the usual continental breakfast)very near the Metro stop. Rooms were small but not too bad bathrooms were large and showers were modern and roomy. Would definatly stay here again.

This was our visit to paris, and we stayed at the Touring hotel. The staff was very helpfull, I have never seen such a friendly and nice staff. they offered to help us with everything even things we would'nt think to ask for. the rooms are very clean and the breakfast is very satisfying. We will definately stay at this hotel on our next visit to paris. Highly recommended.

My room is for smoking people and I and my daugther dont' smoke. The smell was terrible. The internet access isn't free. The breakfast is very espansive (€12).

It is a medium-good hotel in the centre of the city. The staff competence is good. The hotel meets my standard. I think that it is appropriate for a working stay or for a short holiday in Paris.

The photos of the public area are a little bit outdated or at least a little bit too nice. However, the public areas are quite ok and better than in other Paris hotels of the same price level. The staff could work a little bit on his friendlyness. They have typical Paris hotel staff attitudes. There is a locked luggage room but nowbody checks whether you are the owner of the pieces when you take the luggage out. WLAN in public area is available against payment. This should be a free service nowadays. There were apparently construction and / or renovation works going on which might cause some noise. (I did not hear anything during the hours of my stay in the hotel.) The room itself to the backyard was very quiet at night.

second time I chose this hotel for the very competitive price and clean room you get. The only thing they could improve is the breakfast buffet - offer some fresh fruit or fruit salad, dark bread or toast and musli cereal. I will go back again but maybe not take the breakfast there.

In the middle of our stay, Hotel Staff asked us for changing our room. They said the reason was that they offer us a superior room, and suddenly they need the rooms for other customer. I argued, that they should advice us on arrival, and not two days later. Besides the public areas of the hotel were old, and neglected.

I have visited Paris 7 times and I have used this hotel every time because it provides me with exactly what I want from a hotel in the city. The staff are very friendly, the rooms are clean, and it is only 2 minutes walk from metro stop cadet. The touring is perfect for people who do not wish to spend their holiday stuck in a hotel room, but would prefer to see the beautfiul city. The only downside I found is that the hotel has started to charge for what was once an inclusive breakfast. That being said, the buffet breakfast is very fulfilling. I will be staying here again on my next trip to Paris.

Just to deplore the internet connexion poorly available that day.

Location 10 room & price for Paris 10 Clean room for sleeping in only what else do you need Very good location walking distance to OPRA Restarauntof all kinds within seconds mini mart 10 steps away

Really good for single or couple! nice place

If you are looking for a good inexpensive hotel in the 9th Hotel Touring is a good choice. Close to the Cadet (Line 7) Metro stop and Rue Cadet, a charming pedestrian street that is one of my favorites. Hotel was well kept and the staff was very friendly. They will gladly store your baggage upon arrival or check-out, and with the added perk of a guest bathroom just off of the lobby.

I was presently surprised with Hotel Touring. Rooms are spacious, very clean and its excellent value for money. The locality is brilliant. Opera is a wonderul location in relation to all tourist sites in Paris. Subway is very near to the hotel. Breakfasts at Touring are spectacular. I'll definitely recommend it to all. Only the elevator is a bit small for large people or people with lots of luggage like me.

We stayed at the hotel for the second time. We like the hotel and the perfect location. Nearby lots of nice places for a meal. Bouillon Cartier is an experience.

First time in Paris on a holiday

Overall a good hotel. Despite the lack of air conditioning it was not stuffy. Probably due to not so high temperature on the street. As negative points I can note breakfast without meat and very expensive wifi.

few issues: 1) wi-fi doesn't work in the rooms. only in a definite position in the public area. It was however very slow. in the public area there is a pc. also very slow. I had to find, very close to the hotel, an internet point. 2) I could not pay with credit card cause some mysterious technical problem. (Maybe to not release valid receipt?) Bank suggested to get cache (closest one) didn't accepted italian credit card. So I had to waste one hour and half for their "technical" issue. 3) differently the room, the bathroom is large.

EXCELLENT LOCATION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PARIS WITH A CHANCE TO TRAVEL IN METRO NEARBY HOTEL ROOMS POORLY KEPT AND VERY SMALL BUT CLEAN. bREAKFAST SERVED WAS COLD AND NOT AS GOOD AS LAST I ONCE HAD IN 2009, SAME HOTEL. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND UNLESS FOR LOCATION!!!

Hotel room does not have CHAIN LOCK nor DO NOT DISTURB SIGN so not very convenient for guests to keep their privacy. Hotel cleaning staff came in our room not long after we checked in without knocking the door, they didn't know we checked in already so we were shocked when a stranger suddenly appeared in our room. I think the hotel should communicate better among their staff. Thanks.

The staff at the hotel were all very pleasant and helpful, thank you!

sweet, comfortable, clean and lovely hotel in the heart of paris. i highly recommend it!

the room is clean but small It will be better if there is a water boiler and a refrigerator

THE LOCATION IS GOOD IN A PERFECT AREA OF THE CITY, THE METRO IS CLOSE AND YOU CAN GO WALKING JUST 1 BLOCK, YOU HAVE A LITTLE SUPERMARKET REALLY CLOSE, IS CLEAN, THEY ARE IN REMODELATION WHEN WE GONE, BUT EVERY THING IS GOOD, JUST THE STAFF ISN´T VERY WARM

The Hotel Touring is situated a five minute walk away from the Cadet Metro Station. Staff on the front desk spoke English well and were very obliging and efficient. Breakfasts are traditional French as you would expect and cereals are also available. There are a number of reasonably priced restaurants nearby and we had good meals at several of them during our stay of six nights at the Hotel. On several nights there was significant street noise.

My Favourite hotel in Paris, all the staff is very nice and ready to help at any time ! Love touring hotel. The breakfast is also very nice.

I enjoyed my stay (business purpose) at the Touring hotel. I will book here again.

This is a great Hotel in a great City - i can totally recommend it! There is a Metro Station nearby and the possibilitys for Dinner are excellent. I'd definitely stay here again.

no air conditioners in august must be terrible

Hello It was a nice vacation in Paris and a nice small hotel centrally located. But we would like a bit more on the breakfast table, sausage and ham might be nice. Regards / Hakan Monica

Really nice simple hotel. Clean and comfortable, in a very central location near shops, restaurants etc. We will return, next time we are in Paris.

The staff were very helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent. There is a well-working lift even if it isn't too big. We found everything very clean. But: ... The rooms would benefit from having fridges (which they haven't). Also, the television volume is limited to a much too low level, which is a bit inconvenient for someone with hearing problems. The breakfast offered "contains no meat", as we were told. So, 10 euros for some horse-fodder (cereal) seemed excessive, but there are plenty of places in the vicinity to eat at. We found it very helpful that they allowed us to leave our luggage in their special store room while we could make use of all our time in Paris. We didn't think that the twin room was cheap at 95 euros a night, but hotels tend to be expensive in the centre of Paris, and we could walk to practically everything, so we saved on travel costs.

Good hotel, good location, decent staff. Get a room at sensible money and you won't be disappointed.

The twin room my daughter and I had was perfectly ok for our one night stay. Bathroom was very clean. Breakfast was fine for 10Euros. The only problem with the room (28) is that it is located behind the lift shaft so every time the door is closed it makes quite a noise, ok for one night but if you stayed for several nights might be a problem!! The view from the windows is of a small courtyard with a big wall which has been decorated with an aerial picture of Paris, not great but better than a plain wall!! Hotel location is ideal to visit Paris, not far from Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est.

Well, even the personal was very friendly, especially the women, the quality of the hotel is never worth 3 stars, it might be 2 or 1. It is old, but in a not comfortable way. And, the worst thing was the bath. There was mildew at the bathtub and the shower wasn´t working!

The hotel location is great! The room was very clean and perfect for a single traveler. However, my room was on the first floor and facing the street. Every morning at 5 am, garbage trucks would come and it was really, really loud. Plus they were doing some construction in the lobby right underneath me so that didn't help either. The walls are really thin and you can hear EVERYTHING. That being said, I would still recommend the hotel, maybe just not a room on the first floor. I didn't have breakfast there as there are many restaurants and cafes around to eat well for cheap. I would recommend the Cafe Le Baron for dinner, really good!!

I was not impressed by the hotel. The bed was horrible, it was sloping towards the middle and had some kind of plastic mattress cover that was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Since the bed was quite narrow (140 cm) and springy we woke each other up all the time. The cleanliness was so-so, they did not give us clean glasses during our 4 nights and the carpet was stained. The location of the hotell was great, really quiet and close to many restaurants and the metro. We would rather have stayed at Ibis next door, though...

nice staff very quitely hotel

Everything in this hotel is really nice. and the surrounding is really great. book this hotel without hesitating. BUT THERE is one thing is really really bad and made me hates my self which is ((THE NOISE in the morning)), you can hear everything around the room or happening in the street. If you are from the type of people who likes enjoying the nightlife and go to bed too late, you will suffer from the noise in the morning. BUT if you gonna wake up at 7am, you won't have any problem. And Also the Wi-fi was not free :( And the breakfast was not included But in general, I will comeback to this hotel without hesitating :)

This is the second time we stay at this hotel and we repeated because of its convenient location and value for money.

Excellent location just a couple of minutes from the metro, a hotel purely for sleeping in plenty of cafes close by, would have no problem staying here again purely for the price.

This is the first time to visit Hotel Touring. It should be better than other hotels near here.

fairly basic hotel that could make a huge improvement with a minor refurnishing on the public area (the rooms are better). NO INTERNET ACCESS IN THE ROOMS (wifi or cable).

Nothing really wrong with this hotel; my room was probably a litlle on the small side, but that happens a lot in Paris. Well located, staff waspresent around the clock, so the important thing were right. The room was very clean!

staff friendly and efficient. they introduced me and my girlfriend to the metro system, invaluable in Paris, as it was by far the best way to get around! rooms very small, but I hear this is normal in Paris! rooms cleaned every morning. room also very quiet. very pleased, great value!

I lived in a twin room. The only thing which I would like to mention is that the heating wasn't work majority time of my stay. And when its about 8C it was very cold.

Great hotel, considering cost-benefit! Helpful and friendly staff. Excelent location: in a quiet street, a walking distance to 2 metro stations (Cadet - line 7 and Notre-Dame de Lorette - line 12)and Gallerie Lafayette

The rooms are quite clean and big enough even though I don't suggest this Hotel in summer time as it hasn't got air conditioning. Breakfast is too poor to be paid 10 euros each... I wouldn't come back to thi s hotel as there are better places at the same price

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Hotel Touring - the hotel was a 15 minute walk from Gare du Nord which was very convenient on arrival! The hotel's within walking distance of Sacre Cour, L'Opera, the Louvre and the Champs Elysee so the location was fantastic. It is also close very to the Cadet Metro, which would have been convenient had we wanted to go further afield. The bedroom was a reasonable size but had a permanent additional single bed in it, which reduced the available space considerably (we may have been given a family room). Aside from this, the room was well equipped, with a TV (which showed 3 English-speaking channels), a hair dryer and a clean, large bathroom (no tea or coffee making facilities though, which was a bit of a shame). There wasn't much of a view (even though we were on the top (5th) floor) but the windows were large and let a lot of light into the room. All in all, we had a great stay - for 75 Euros a night the hotel is a bargain - and would recommend the Hotel Touring wholeheartedly!

Rooms clean, quiet rooms and very good location. RECOMANDED

best hotel I've been to in Paris! quiet zone, metro and Carrefour supermarket just a few steps away, walk distance from the Opera and the famous Galleries Lafayette department store. Great breakfast. Very kind and helpful personnel. Clean and spacious rooms. Internet connection working great in rooms. great price for paris
