Hôtel Riesner

From the start our stay at Hotel Riesner was exceptional. The friendly helpful staff were always present at concierge whenever we needed them. Our room though small as it was a twin was enough for us and the beds were comfortable. A large window opened for fresh spring air at night. Breakfast was superb. So many choices for every taste. I liked that coffee or tea was available outside breakfast hours and that the lobby locked after 11 pm. We found the location perfect for getting out and around the city and would stay in the 12th arrondissement again. Good proximity to restaurants and markets, just a blocks walk.

The hotel has a beautifully designed interior with a modern, boutique feel that’s both stylish and comfortable. It’s tucked away in a super quiet location, yet still offers very easy access to major attractions and transport links—perfect for getting around the city with ease. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming throughout our stay, always happy to help with a friendly attitude that made the atmosphere feel relaxed and personal. The breakfast was also a real highlight: high-quality choices, beautifully presented, and served from 7am—which is ideal if you want an early start to your day. Other standout features included the great toiletries, overall cleanliness, and the pleasant look and feel of the hotel. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into the guest experience. There were a couple of minor details that could be improved. While the room was very clean overall, there were a few dusty spots behind the floor lamps and behind the toilet brush, and the sink was slightly chipped. The bathroom, though well-maintained, was very compact—to the point where it was difficult to sit on the toilet comfortably. On two mornings, although breakfast officially started at 7am, the setup wasn’t quite ready when we arrived just after the hour. That said, these were small issues in an otherwise excellent stay. Hôtel Riesner is a peaceful, well-designed hotel with great service, and I’d be happy to return on my next trip to Paris.

If we could give the highest rating for this place 100+ stars. It was the best place we have ever stayed. The ambiance of this place is warm and cosy, with a very welcoming atmosphere it felt like staying with family. The staff were so amazing, they booked 3 different places for dinner for us and each place the food was really good. They also were so helpful in suggesting places to visit and at what times were not so busy. All the staff made us feel so welcome. This place has a real warm feel about it with a retro 30-40's feel and we are definitely come back and stay here. Tarek was so charming and helpful during our stay, we watched him dealing with patron after patron during busy times and he was very professional with each and every person. He never looked stressed and just handled it so well. He would always make us feel like we were the only people there and nothing was too difficult for him. He arranged a lovely night dinner tour for us and it was all organised by the time we got back from our day trip and got changed ready for dinner. He also helped where needed even in the kitchen. Salem Was terrific, he arranged 2 dinners for us and when he couldn't do something he arranged for it to be sorted by another staff member and made sure our reservations were ready. We were always made to feel like family. Even the owner Corinne was so sweet, she too made us feel so welcome. She gave us great recommendations on places to go, and the directions to get to the country town of Rouen was spot on. The food was great, sooo delicious, and Noella was lovely too, she made us freshly squeezed juice every morning and always supplied fresh croissants and bread. There was always a great selection of meats and cheeses all presented fresh and appealing. The eggs and smokey sausages were our favorite. We really didn't want to go home. We enjoyed chatting with everyone that works here.

Nice and stylish hotel. Very very pleasant stuff on reception. Clean, comfortable, silent. I had a spacious bathroom. Extremely comfortable bed. A lot of sockets. There was almost everything I needed, including coffee machine with capsules and bath amenities.

The Hotel was located conviently next to Gare de Lyon which allowed us travel easily throughout Paris. The Room was spacious and the bathroom was of a very high standard. Had a very large walk in shower. The twin beds were very comfortable and water was placed in the room every day. There was no noise and the staff in the most cases friendly.
