This hotel is a little gem with an ideal location away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. The metro (Les Gobelins) is on the corner. If you forgot to pack anything, you can pick it up at the monoprix (mini department store) across the street. The staff is very proficient and efficient. If you need assistance, they will go beyond the expectation of small hotel in Paris. The staff cares about your comfort during your stay. For a traveler who speaks only a little French, this hotel provides a respite from the perceived rudeness of the French people. - Hackerman Frank (Nov 16, 2005)
My wife and I recently enjoyed a four night stay at the Hotel Carofftel Gobelins. We were both very impressed with the high quality and the cleanliness of our double room with en suite. The hotel is ideally situated in a lovely area with an abundance of shops and restuarants and buses and the metro are on the doorstep. A very interesting outdoor market is within a five minute walk. We would definately stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone. Very impressed !! - Robertson Michael (Sep 27, 2005)
