Hotel Des Arts is a budget hotel at 18 rue de Rochechouart, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, on the edge of the Faubourg-Montmartre district. Its main asset is the location: Cadet metro station (line 7) is just 150 metres away, while the Grands Boulevards, the Gare du Nord and the foot of the Montmartre hill are all within a few minutes' reach.
It is a simple, practical base for anyone coming to explore Paris on a budget who wants to get around on foot or by public transport. The rooms are functional and soundproofed, with heating, carpeting and a wardrobe; some have a private bathroom, while others share the facilities. There are options for solo travellers, couples and up to three guests.
The hotel runs a 24-hour reception and offers luggage storage on site, handy at the start or end of a stay. Free Wi-Fi is available in some accommodations. Please note that the hotel has no lift and no parking, and that payment on site is accepted in cash only.
Hotel Des Arts offers three room types, from the most compact to the most spacious, suited to solo travellers, couples and small groups. The Single Room, with a shared bathroom, is aimed at those travelling alone on a budget; the Double Room works well for couples; and the Triple Room, the largest, can sleep up to three people.
All rooms share the same essentials: soundproofed walls, heating, carpeting, a wardrobe and a city view. The main differences lie in the surface area, the capacity and the bathroom: from the 9 m² Single with shared facilities to the 13 m² Triple with a private bathroom featuring a bath and a shower. These are plain, no-frills spaces designed above all for a good rest after a day of sightseeing.
Hotel Des Arts brings together the essentials for a simple, surprise-free stay in the middle of Paris. The reception is open 24 hours, which makes late arrivals and early departures easier, and a luggage storage lets you drop your bags before check-in or after checking out.
Free Wi-Fi is available in some accommodations. The rooms, entirely non-smoking, are soundproofed and heated, with carpeting, a wardrobe and a city view; depending on the category, the bathroom is private or shared. The hotel also offers family rooms. Bear in mind, however, that the property has no lift and no parking, and that payment on site is accepted in cash only. A pared-back set-up that suits travellers looking for a functional base well connected to the rest of the capital.
Hotel Des Arts sits at 18 rue de Rochechouart, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, on the northern edge of the Faubourg-Montmartre district. This is a central, lively and very commercial area, superbly served: Cadet metro station (line 7) is just 150 metres away and Poissonnière (line 7) around 300 metres, letting you reach the Opéra, the Louvre or the Marais without changing lines.
On foot, you quickly reach the city's great going-out streets. The Grands Boulevards and the Musée Grévin are about ten minutes away, the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church around 400 metres, and the climb up the Montmartre hill to the Sacré-Cœur basilica takes about fifteen minutes on foot. The romantic Nouvelle Athènes quarter, around the Musée de la Vie Romantique, is also within walking distance. The Gare du Nord, meanwhile, is about a ten-minute walk away, a real plus for train arrivals and airport connections.
The best time to visit Paris runs from spring to autumn, with long days and mild weather; summer remains pleasant despite the crowds, and winter has its charm around the festive lights. As the area is very busy and close to several stations, it is wise to keep an eye on your belongings in crowded spots and to stick to the main thoroughfares after dark, a piece of advice that applies to this whole part of Paris.
