The Hotel Home
Paris 16 is a mid-range, 17-apartment property located in an upmarket, very residential district in
west Paris. The location is great for those wanting to immerse themselves in residential, authentic Paris -- a next door boulangerie even provides freshly baked croissants. Apartments certainly feel dated, but are clean and
comfortable with well-equipped kitchens and bathrooms. The single, tiny elevator doesn't serve all rooms and the location is far from the city's main
attractions, though overall it's a great self-catering option away from the
tourist hoards -- discounts for longer term are also a bonus.

Scene
Typically Parisian Haussmann building with residential vibe
The Hotel Home
Paris 16 is housed in a typically Parisian Haussmann building with a quaint
white-stone facade adorned with wrought iron window decor and elegantly
curled eaves. Although built in the 1930s, interiors have been sympathetically
renovated with the building's Belle Époque styling with molded plaster cornices
and paneling and tiled scenes of 19th-century Paris. Being very much an
apart-hotel, reception is a small antique desk in a simple side room and
there's little in the way of public areas beyond a quiet and secluded courtyard
full of potted plants and overlooked by most of the apartments. Accommodation
is spread across two wings; the floors of one wing are accessible via a tiny,
old-fashioned elevator, while those in the other are reached by (fairly steep) stairs. The atmosphere
is very residential and veers well away from feeling touristy, appealing to
couples and families keen to immerse themselves in a more authentic Paris
experience.
Location
Set in the swanky and residential 16th arrondissement in the west of Paris
The hotel is
located in a swanky and residential area of the 16th arrondissement in the west
of Paris. Away from the major tourist hot spots the surroundings are relatively
free from other hotels (and other tourists) and more dotted with shops, bakeries,
and cafes where Parisian residents go about their daily lives. There are,
however, two metro stations both within a five-minute walk that connect to the
Eiffel Tour, Champs-Élysées, and the tourist attractions of central Paris. The Boulevard
Périphérique ring road that encircles the capital is also just a mile away,
making easy access in and out of Paris by car.
Rooms
Dated though clean and well-equipped apartments, some with glimpse of the Eiffel Tour
The Hotel Home
Paris 16 has 17 apartments in total, spread over two wings of the property.
Although clean and well maintained, in general decor is dated and lacking finesse,
with mismatched designs and old-fashioned furnishings -- though some may find touches such as decorative fireplaces, wallpaper, and plaid fabrics quaint and homey. Modern tech
includes flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and Wi-Fi. All apartments include
well-equipped kitchens or kitchenettes, and most bathrooms have been well
renovated and include L'Occitane products. The immediate area is generally
quiet, but soundproofing is nonexistent so expect the usual urban background
noise. Also be warned that some rooms are only accessible via stairs. On a more
positive note, you can get a crane-neck view of the Eiffel Tour from some
higher level rooms.
Features
Quiet and leafy central courtyard and private parking
Being an
apartment hotel there's not a great deal in the way of facilities, however
there is a welcome kit of refreshments on arrival as well as daily cleaning service and change of linen every three out of four nights. Attentive
staff are also on hand to help with the likes of grocery shopping and booking
transport, and there is also a self-service laundry in the basement of the
building. A quiet and leafy central courtyard also provide a place to unwind
with a croissant from the next door boulangerie. Guests with their own
transport also have access to nearby private parking.
