A great hotel in a handy location for lots of the top tourist sites in Paris. Located next to a metro station with several lines so really easy to get around. We throughly enjoyed Paris, and the Crown Paris Republique, and would recommend staying here.
There were a few negatives: beds in our room were terrible. Really uncomfortable, and as they were height adjustable, if you got anywhere near the edge then you would feel like you were about to roll out. Also although it's a great location, the square is a bit run down with lots of skateboarders all day, homeless people near to the hotels main entrance, and people standing around drinking in the streets, making it noisy at night-time. As the ground floor of part of the hotel is made up of shops then it is out of the hotels control.
Positives were plentiful: handy to get to, staff were all friendly and helpful. Set in a beautiful building, food was great, and although I've criticised the square outside, it really was in a great location for everything we needed.
We all really enjoyed our stay here, and would return (though would enquire about different beds!).
