Michelin Guide "A magnificent hall with wood panelling, refined guestrooms, a fine dining restaurant and an elegant English style bar."
Fodor's "This discreet palace-like hotel was built in 1925 to cater to travelers spending a season in Paris, so every space is generously sized for long, lavish stays." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located two blocks from the Arc de Triomphe in the heart of aristocratic Paris, this old-world, 83-room palace hotel has remained in the same family since its founding in 1925." Full review
Time Out "A panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower to one side and the Arc de Triomphe on the other doesn’t come cheap; Le Raphael is on of the most luxurious terrace bars in Paris." Full review
Star Service "The amiable, meritorious staff provides personal attention to a largely North American and European guest list with a taste for luxurious, calm surroundings." Full review

Rough Guide "The Zen-style decor of light wood, clean lines and predominantly white, blue and grey tones makes for nice airy rooms."
Fodor's "The focus is "green" and urban, with creative use of modern design elements like light wood and ambient lighting to make the most of small spaces." Full review
Frommer's "Maybe it’s the smiling young staff in jeans, or the ecological ethos, but there’s something alternative in the air at this adorable boutique hotel on the Canal St-Martin." Full review

"Situated on a picturesque canal in the 10th arrondissement, though some may find nightly rates a tad high given the location." Full review
Afar Magazine "The design sensibility is Nordic, with bright colors, pale woods, and modular furniture." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Le Citizen is a family-friendly hotel overlooking the Canal St-Martin with its locks, turning bridge, cobbled quaysides, green metal footbridges and lively bar culture." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Nestled on the corner of Canal St Martin is this eco-friendly outpost outfitted with iPads in every room and modern Danish furnishings." Full review
Time Out "Friendly, warm staff make it feel less like a hotel and more like a guesthouse. Each of the 12 rooms, spread over 6 floors, has a view of the famous Canal Saint-Martin." Full review

This eco-friendly hotel is quite a contrast to the charmingly grubby Canal Saint-Martin.
