“Hotel Des Ecrivains enjoys a literary theme and proximity to the Place d'Italie metro; its calm setting and multilingual staff stand out, although I noted a concerning mention of bedbugs in a past review. The location near the National Museum of Histories of Immigrations enhances its appeal, but the hotel's response to potential infestations is a valid concern, in my opinion. For a balanced experience, future guests should weigh the cultural charm against addressing any issues proactively.”

secure storage metro station

Staff members were friendly. They provided secure storage for our bikes during the trip. The location is near a metro station. This makes it easy to travel.

the lift did NOT stop at every floor. I had to carry heavy suitcases on narrow stairs.
