Welcome to Maison Mère, a hotel with a distinctive identity, nestling in the heart of Paris, in the Village Montholon, an authentic district of the 9th arrondissement. A home full of character, Parisian but against the grain, leaving nothing to chance. A cosy nest, the 51 rooms and 2 suites are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and comfort, decorated in a vintage style that we've come across time and time again, and become an extension of your home.
Maison Mère is much more than a hotel: it's a festive home and a creative breeding ground, with an evolving art gallery and a designer pop-up store. Nectar, the restaurant and cocktail bar, offers a gastronomic experience. The coworking café is the ideal place for team building or business lunches.
Maison Mère is centrally located in Paris, within a 10-minute walk of Grands Boulevards and Gare du Nord.

It is one of the hotels that most and best take care of the details with their clients, which makes it much more pleasant and pleasant to stay in it. All the walls breathe art; they are dotted with small details carefully and painstakingly selected to give elegance and comfort to the Maison Mère. With regard to his restaurant, Nectar, the accolade is that his dishes are dressed in creativity, ingenuity and gastronomic wisdom. Traditional French cuisine is served at the diner's table. We plan to come back!

We were greeted warmly on check in, and asked about our journey, and any plans we might have whilst in Paris. There appeared to be a genuine interest in what we might like to do, without any pushing of any particular landmark, or activity. On entering the room, there were personalised messages on a mirror and also a postcard, along with some small gifts, and a single flower. Touches like this can make you feel much more welcome. The room was spotlessly clean, and smelled fresh. The AC was plenty efficient and quiet and kept the room at a comfortable temperature throughout our stay, when the outside temperature was into the late 20’s Celsius. Breakfast was included in our room rate, and was good every day. Plenty of choice, and very very attentive staff. At no point did we feel rushed or pressured to eat and leave quickly. The staff are what make this hotel an amazing place to stay. They are personable, polite, and take interest in what you would like to do. They make fabulous recommendations for restaurants, or places to go, and even highlighting an Olympic boutique which had a sale on (rather than inflated prices in the souvenir stores) They would ask your plans every morning when you saw them, and then ask how your day was when you returned to the hotel. We didn’t have any issues at all with the hotel or the staff, but I imagine if we had, they would have been dealt with quickly. The location of the hotel is also superb. 5 minutes walk from Cadet, and mostly no more than 30 minutes slow walking to many other prominent landmarks. There are loads of restaurants within a 20 minute walk, and the area always felt very very safe. If you want to treat yourself, book your stay here. If you want to feel welcome, book your stay here. If you want to be comfortable, book your stay here. In fact, just book your stay here. You won’t regret it.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
This was my 7th visit as a Canadian to Paris, but my second staying on my own (vs with a local friend). I wanted to find a nice boutique hotel that wasn’t too expensive. It needed to be about a 10min walk to the closest metro (as I was with an older relative, whereas I’m early 30s) and fairly straightforward to get to various sights in the city. Hotel Maison Mere fit the criteria. It had a great breakfast, laundry services, and everyone spoke English as needed. There were convenient buttons in the room that allowed you to indicate if you needed room cleaning or didn’t want to be disturbed - no unannounced knocks. The hotel restaurant was very good and the networking/co-work space was cute. The Deluxe Triple room was spacious for two guests (vs the VERY small Parisian apartments I’ve stayed in before). The bathroom was also very roomy, in my opinion. The only thing they didn’t have was hair conditioner (shampoo and body wash only - so be sure to bring some!). All in all, we had a great experience and would stay here again.

I really wanted to love this hotel and make it my go-to when coming to Paris, unfortunately it did not live up to the reviews or the ratings I’ve seen.
The good: the location is excellent and it allows you to get to pretty much all of the best parts of the city in under 30min by public transit. Additionally the lobby is quite lovely, as were the common spaces we experienced.
The not-so-good: Our room was decorated nicely and was aesthetically appealing. But there were some odd shortcomings. The room was located on the street side of the hotel and had a lovely window that overlooked the street, but that same window had little soundproofing and we were able to hear basically everything on the street at all times of day. This wasn’t an issue during the day but when were trying to sleep at night we could clearly hear people standing in front of the hotel laughing and talking loudly and it caused us to not sleep well.
The bathroom was also an issue for us. The shower has the half door design that allows water to constantly splash outside of the shower when it’s used. The floor was constantly in water. Also the shower tiles and floor tiles looked very dirty/aged. Maybe the grout in between needed to be cleaned or redone but I felt uncomfortable in the bathroom my whole stay. Additionally one morning we had no hot water for about an hour and that was time that we needed to get ready to leave for scheduled activities. The hot water eventually came later in the day when we checked but a hotel of this caliber and rating should not have this issue.
Finally, the service at the hotel was inconsistent. We came across several very friendly and helpful people working the front desk, but we had several encounters that left a bad taste in our mouth. One was when we brought salads back from a nearby restaurant and wanted to quickly eat them in the coworking space due to the lack of seating in our room. As soon as we sat down, we were told you could not eat there and had to leave. That was fine except for the fact that the next day we saw a dinner setup in the exact same space. Also at check-in we were asked if we needed any recommendations or help with reservations or activities. We said yes, and described what we needed help with and were told that someone would follow-up with us shortly. Unfortunately, no one ever followed up with us and we ended up having to figure out our own reservations for that day. The housekeeping was also oddly executed. Sometimes they didn’t come until midafternoon even after we had been away for 6-7 hrs, and when they did come sometimes they replaced the towels, sometimes they didn’t; they also did not refill the big shower gel that was mounted in the shower for the entirety of our stay and it was empty after day 2 of our 5 day stay.
Maybe our experience was an anomaly but I believe there are hotels that offer better value for the quality of facilities and services provided in the area, and I would not likely stay here again.

Dear Beloved Guest, We regret that your stay did not meet your expectations, especially since you were hoping to make our Home your go-to place in Paris. Creating a warm and seamless experience is at the heart of what we do, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. That being said, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed our location and found it convenient for exploring the city, as well as the design of our lobby and common areas! It is always a pleasure to know that these elements contributed positively to your stay☺️ Regarding your room, our Home is in a lively Parisian neighborhood, and while our windows are soundproofed, we understand that street-facing rooms on the lower floors may still allow some city sounds to filter through. For Guests who are more sensitive to noise, we are always happy to recommend quieter room options upon request. As for the bathroom, we appreciate your feedback. Our showers follow a European design, which prioritizes elegance and functionality, though we understand that preferences may differ. We take the upkeep of our spaces very seriously, and our housekeeping team follows strict standards to ensure cleanliness and maintenance. If anything ever feels below expectations, our reception team is available 24/7 to assist with anything from replenishing amenities to addressing housekeeping requests in real time. Regarding your experience with service, we strive for consistency in our hospitality, and we regret if there were moments that did not reflect our usual standards. The co-working space is dedicated to professional use during the day and may be privatized for special events in the evening, which is why external food is not permitted there at certain times. However, our restaurant is open for dining, and we are always happy to suggest alternative spaces within the hotel for a comfortable meal. We also regret that the follow-up on recommendations did not happen as expected—assisting our guests with their plans is something we take to heart, and we are actively reviewing what happened with our Guest Relations and Reception team. Your feedback is truly invaluable to us, and we will be reviewing these points internally to continue improving. While we understand that your experience was not what you had hoped for, we would love the opportunity to welcome you again and ensure a stay that truly reflects the high standards we aim to provide. Kind Regards, Sofia, Guest Relation

My twins turned eight at the hotel and they made it an amazing time for them with messages on the mirror when we arrived and Disney balloons on the beds, flowers and a tote bag. We also had a private dinner and they printed pictures for the girls to colour in and made them feel very special. It was an amazing stay very comfortable very peaceful in the hotel and walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Super clean Hotel and all the staff are really helpful giving us directions and advice would highly recommend to anyone travelling as a couple on their own or with family.

We loved our stay! Perfect location for our needs. We were greeted with damp cloths and juice while checking in and throughout our stay the staff were very helpful. Beds were comfortable, the location was quiet, water pressure in the shower was great, and the blow dryer had a diffuser attachment which I personally appreciated. I’ve already recommended Maison Mère to friends and would definitely stay again the next time we visit Paris.

Great experience from start to finish. The trip adviser 5 star rating is warranted from our experience - lots of really nice touches - a welcome drink, chocolates in our room, a tote bag which was handy for our day in Paris and will be used now we are home. Excellent location for the Gare du Nord - far enough away to avoid the crowds of the station but only a 10 minute walk. Also excellent location for Stade de France - just one stop away on the RER.. The hotel is in a traditional Parisian building and the rooms were clean and nicely decorated with lots of individual touches. This is a nice contrast to corporate hotels. One big plus for me - you can open the windows and soak up the atmosphere from the street below. The staff were all really friendly and super helpful. Their knowledge of the area meant they could give us some helpful recommendations of where to eat and where to shop. They had also set up a guide to the Olympics - how to get to the venues etc. If we return to Paris we would definitely stay in this hotel again.

This hotel was the perfect place to stay in Paris! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The environment is beautiful and welcoming from your first step into the lobby to all of the details of the room. It had tasteful art, Parisian charm, and modern accents that made your stay feel extra special. The room was very clean, the bathroom amenities are great, and the bed was large and comfortable.
The location was nice — it was less than a 15 minute walk to the train station (but still felt safe and tucked away), and it was an easy 30 minute walk to many other fun spots around the city. I will definitely stay here again when I come back!

Hotel Maison Mere is a hidden gem! My husband and I stayed here for our short trip to Paris, primarily to see the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert. When we arrived at the hotel, I noticed Taylor Swift songs playing in the lobby and knew it wasn’t a coincidence. The staff admitted that they were going to play her music all weekend long and they planted fun Taylor Swift details throughout the hotel to add to the experience!
Sophia checked us in and she was extremely nice and welcoming. We arrived in Paris earlier than expected and though our room wasn’t ready yet, they safely held stored our bags so we were able to start exploring the city right away. The staff were always so helpful when we asked them for restaurant recommendations or metro navigation and they always wrote down notes for us to bring with us which was helpful since we did not speak French and we could instead show people the note card if we ever stopped to ask for help on our journey.
When our room was ready, we were welcomed with a Taylor Swift “lover” theme in our room which had 2 heart balloons, a friendship bracelet from the hotel staff, and song lyrics written subtly on the mirrors in our room. This was such a cute and fun personalized touch that showed that this hotel would go the extra mile to make us feel welcomed! Though the room was sort of small, we loved the art work in our room and throughout the hotel. The breakfast spread was delicious and I loved being able to make my own soft boiled eggs- a French classic!
If you are in Paris we highly recommend this hotel! Close to the 7 and 9 metro rail lines, this location is a short trip into the center of Paris. The staff is also unmatched in their hospitality, and I am confident I would stay here again if visiting Paris in the future!
