Michelin Guide "Philippe Starck is behind the refined, fantasy decor in this huge hotel, which is at the cutting edge of contemporary design."

Fodor's "Don't expect an ounce of classical Parisian charm—the hotel is an experiment in quirky postmodern countercultural cool." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Designed by Philippe Starck, Mama Shelter is located in 20th arrondisement not far from Père Lachaise Cemetery." Full review

Rough Guide "This cool boutique hotel, run by young staff and located on a fairly peaceful road, is a lesson in restrained modern design."
Frommer's "The hotel's upbeat interior revolves around prominent rectilinear lines, spartan-looking decors, and an intelligent distribution of spaces." Full review
Fodor's "Friendly service, a small fitness center, and full-service bar are nice touches, while close proximity to métro stations is another convenience appreciated by guests." Full review
Lonely Planet "The décor at ‘The General’ is fresh and fun, and the 47 rooms are beautifully furnished." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This high-design boutique hotel is surprisingly well priced considering its convenient location on a quiet side street close to the Place de la République." Full review
Time Out "A fashionable find near the nightlife action of the 11th, Le Général was one of Paris’s first boutique bargains when it opened back in 2003. It is still notable for its remarkably moderate." Full review
BlackBook "This hip little hotel off the Place de la République draws a boozy crowd by offering two pricing structures - one for just the room, and another all inclusive rate that includes your bar tab."
The Telegraph7.0
"Sleek pared-back rooms and a herd of photos and vintage finds are intended to feel like home at this laid-back hotel." Full review
