I love this little hotel in my favorite part of Paris! You can stroll along the hotel, go for ice cream across the street or pick from the many restaurants within a block or two.

Unfortunately, the hotel looks very different from the photos that are advertised online. It is actually a very old hotel that seems to have gone through only a very light renovation, and the pictures appear to be heavily edited.
The breakfast was also disappointing and far from what one would expect. It included only one cup of juice, one cup of coffee, and one croissant. There were no fresh options such as fruit or oranges. I would not really consider this a proper hotel breakfast.
Another major issue was the internet. There is practically no usable Wi-Fi in the hotel. The connection is extremely weak and barely works.
Most of the hotel staff were very kind, polite, and helpful. However, the receptionist named Ayfa was not pleasant or welcoming at all, which stood out compared to the rest of the team.
Overall, despite the kindness of most of the staff, I would not choose to return to this hotel again.

This hotel was close to the train station (15 mins walk max) so it was perfect for one last night in Paris. Easy to get to from travels by train from the French countryside and easy to get to the RER for the airport the next day. The neighborhood is fantastic, lots of great bars and restaurants and the canal. The bed was soooo comfortable.

Compact hotel in a great location. A little noisy at night but that’s Paris and big cities in general so not a deal breaker. Fantastic food options all walkable from coffee to lunch to fancy dining. Will stay here again when I’m back again.

It’s a great place and the location is superb. There are small things in the rooms that are breaking (table leg) or worn out the do not disturb magnets. It’s too bad because it breaks what is a very attractive and comfortable room. Curtains could be cleaned

The best part of Le Citizen Hotel was its quaint, walkable location along Canal Saint-Martin, surrounded by great coffee shops and restaurants. The room was spacious, but a persistent urine smell, likely from the A/C, made it unpleasant. While generally clean, the bathroom felt dirty, with mildew in the shower and a broken shower door causing water to spill everywhere.
We had a relocation to Hotel Oratio (30 minutes away) due to renovations. The staff there didn’t seem aware of our reservation, and when we returned, our room wasn’t ready and construction was still ongoing. We had to leave our bags with construction workers since no staff was present.
Checkout was chaotic—late at night, we were suddenly told we owed money, but the staff couldn’t explain why. The next morning, it turned out to be city tax, but their card reader wouldn’t work, and the staff was unhelpful.
They did refund one night, and Chaime was great, but overall, poor communication and maintenance issues made this a frustrating stay. Hopefully, post-renovations, service improves.

I was surprised with this property. It reallly was not the same as what was advertised. The advertisement clearly said there was a restaurant and people said the food was great. They had a bar but no restaurant. They also advertised that there was an airport shuttle but there was not. I found this to be a quirky and odd property. The area of Paris was not my favourite- lots of graffiti and not amazing stores and restaurants. The room had some issues with the lights not working in the bathroom and the cupboard door for the fridge was falling of the hinge. The bed was comfortable and the bedding nice! It also had a very strong smell from an oil diffuser which was way too strong I ended up locking it in a cupboard to try to stop the smell. We were only there for one night to catch our plane but I would not have stayed longer and wouldn’t recommend it to others. Have stayed in much nicer hotels in Paris for the same price or less. Not sure who wrote all the good reviews for this property or when but I’m sorry I can’t agree.

We have stayed there before and we will stay there again. It is a walkable, friendly, reasonably priced (restaurants, groceries and shops) neighborhood with fabulous parks the canal and easy access to the Metro stations (G'are de est and Republique)

Excellent location right by the canal, extremely picturesque and romantic! Very very good food and drink options nearby - recommend cocktails at Bisou, Ten Belles for coffee and pastries, le Verre Vole for wine and food, Chez Prune for classic French cafe and bar/resto, crepes at Breizh Cafe…. Room was perfect for us, there was a problem with the key a few times but staff was helpful. Convenient to Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est, metro line 4 (great for tourist locations). Very much recommend if you want a feel for a bit more of a local Parisian vibe with pretty good access to city center, too.

Amazing stay as always. Outstanding rooms with a great view of the canals. Very comfortable beds and bathroom. Plenty of space in the rooms. The only thing they need are wine glasses, they don't have any in the hotel! That is a travesty for Paris!

Very good, clean small hotel in good location
Very happy with the hotel and the location. We had a great stay and all the staff are really friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend the hotel and would return again to explore the canal area further, as we tended to hit the main tourist sites.
Thanks for a great stay.
