Bottom Line

The mid-range Residence Cosy's Cadet is on the charming Rue Cadet, near the Grands Boulevards and a three-minute walk to the Cadet metro station. Decor is simple but shot through with hot pink accents adding a vibrant boost. The 22 studios and apartments are exceptionally spacious for Paris, and well equipped with full kitchens, living and dining areas, flat-screen TVs, CD and DVD players, and free Wi-Fi. Features are mostly limited to a cold buffet breakfast (for fee) and paid on-site parking. Another downside: Past guests have complained about inadequate soundproofing and dated decor in some units, but renovations are slated for the end of 2016. Travelers looking for more stylish apartment-style accommodations could also consider Residence Nell, which is in the same neighborhood, though rates are notably higher.

Cadet Residence

Scene

Cheery, urban apartment-style hotel drawing families and groups

Tucked away at the back of a courtyard off a lively street, Residence Cosy's Cadet sits in a boxy, almost industrial building. Inside, the lobby area is spacious and bright, but pegged in by low ceilings. A soft urban gray-and-white backdrop here is upended by electric hits of hot pink in accent walls and strips of lighting, plus a few abstract prints adorning the walls. Cube-shaped leather armchairs and stools create a seating area, while the breakfast room occupies a corner of the lobby. All in all, it's a simple, cozy look that lives up to its name. With its studios and apartments, the hotel is geared toward families or groups of friends traveling together, and is especially suited to long-term guests who like the option of making their own meals.

Location

Near the Grands Boulevards, a few minutes' walk to Cadet metro station

Residence Cosy's Cadet has a location perfectly situated for pretending to be a local. It's on the lively Rue Cadet, a charming street stuffed with small shops, bakeries, and cafes. But one drawback is the city's major sightseeing attractions aren't in walking distance. Still, the Cadet metro station is a few minutes' walk from the hotel, putting Parisian sights within easy reach for travelers willing to take public transit.

  • Three-minute walk to Cadet metro station
  • Six-minute walk to Gare de l'Est
  • 15-minute walk to the Garnier Opera House
  • 12 minutes to the Louvre museum by public transportation
  • 23 minutes to Sacre-Coeur Basilica by public transportation
  • 21 minutes to Centre Georges Pompidou by public transportation
  • 22 minutes to the Arc de Triomphe by public transportation
  • 22 minutes to Notre Dame by public transportation
  • 23 minutes to Eiffel Tower by public transportation
  • 27 minutes to Le Marais by public transportation
  • 36-minute drive to Charles de Gaulle Airport

Rooms

Spacious studios and apartments decorated in a modern style with flashy neon details

The 22 studios and apartments at Residence Cosy's Cadet are done up in streamlined but cheerful decor amplified by flashy hits of neon. As with public spaces, soft, sophisticated gray-and-white furnishings and textiles give a tasteful backdrop, while bed runners and accent walls in hot pink or bold yellow keep it from being too plain. Bathrooms are equally modern and tasteful, done up in dove-gray tile. They feature separate toilet vestibules, shower/tub combos, towel warmers, and hairdryers. But wall-mounted soap dispensers sit in place of individual toiletries.

Exceptionally spacious, studios measure 376 square feet and can sleep up to four guests, while the apartments measure 646 square feet and sleep a maximum of six. All units have air-conditioning, mini-fridges, sofa beds, flat-screen TVs, DVD and CD players, and free Wi-Fi. Units also have kitchenettes that are well-equipped with stove tops, microwave ovens, coffeemakers, toasters, electric kettles, and cookware including pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery. Note that guests have complained about poor soundproofing and dated decor in some of the studios and apartments, but renovations are planned for the end of 2016.

Features

A short list including breakfast service, on-site parking, and free Wi-Fi

Residence Cosy's Cadet Paris advertises itself as a four-star property, but it doesn't begin to offer the features of an upscale hotel. A cold continental breakfast buffet of cereals, bread, butter, jam, orange juice, tea, and coffee is served (for a fee) in the breakfast nook in a corner of the lobby. On-site underground parking is available for an extra daily fee, and must be reserved in advance. A public computer is on hand in the lobby, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Pets are welcome for a fee.
