Part of the French Astotel chain, Hotel 34B is a mid-range hotel right in the 9th Arrondissement of Paris. Its 128 guest rooms have fun, quirky details including illuminated lamp silhouettes embedded in the headboards and desktops with AstroTurf sandwiched under a glass surface. But some rooms are small, and there have been complaints of street noise. Guests booking directly through the hotel get perks including a free buffet breakfast, and all guests get freebies like hot drinks and snacks in the afternoons and free minibar drinks. Still, as with many boutique hotels on-site amenities are slim -- there's no full restaurant or gym. Travelers shopping around may want to compare rates and amenities at the nearby Hotel Du Triangle d'Or, a boutique, music-themed property.

Scene
Set in a Haussmannian-style corner building with colorful and fun interiors
Hotel 34B - Astotel is set in a typically Parisian Haussmannian-style corner building with Juliet balconies. Interiors are done up with chic and fun contemporary decor, including exposed brick walls, sleek high-design furniture in orange and cream, and child-size models of retro cars. There are also plenty of bookshelves crammed full of books that guests can borrow (plenty of kids books here); even the front desk is made of bookshelves painted in red with a glass counter-top. A spacious lounge with colorful sofas and armchairs is nestled under an atrium ceiling that lets in lots of natural light. Things get bolder in the hallway, with walls and floors covered in loud red-white-and-blue stripes. This playful hotel is particularly popular with tourists, including couples and solo travelers, though many business travelers also end up staying here looking for a fresh alternative to Paris' larger chains.
Location
On a quiet side street in the ninth Arrondissement, close to two metro stations
Hotel 34B - Astotel is located on a quiet side street in Paris' 9th Arrondissement (district), with several theaters, galleries, and museums in the immediate area, as well as restaurants, cafes, bars, and supermarkets.

Rooms
Small but well-maintained rooms with fun contemporary details
Rooms at the Hotel 34B come in a variety of configurations, from tiny Standard Single rooms clear up to split-level Duplex units that sleep up to four and come with separate walk-in showers and tubs. Most are bright and cheerful, thanks to a predominantly white color palette accented by splashy blue or seersucker-style striped runners and cushions and blue-and-white patterned carpets. Quirky design details include headboards with illuminated lamp silhouettes on either side, and glass-topped desks with AstroTurf sandwiched underneath their work surfaces. Bathrooms tend to be small and are fitted with shower stalls that could be a tight squeeze for some plus pedestal sinks, and free toiletries are provided. In-room amenities include flat-screen TVs, safes, hairdryers, and minibars with free water, juice, and soft drinks -- but there's no facilities for tea or coffee. Irons and ironing boards are available on request. Street-facing rooms on higher floors have picturesque street views, but street noise can filter up.
