Hippodrome MontmartreEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The two-star Hippodrome is located on a quiet street off the bustling Boulevard de Clichy, a short walk to Montmartre and Pigalle. This friendly, family-run place close to good transportation links represents a solid value.

The hotel’s 22 rooms feel fresh and lively. Walls are painted a yellow or pink, and red dominates the bedspreads, curtains and carpets (a reminder, perhaps, of the proximity of Pigalle and its famous dance halls and cabarets). All rooms are well-equipped with a flat-screen TV, telephone, writing desk and framed prints.

Private baths have recently undergone renovations leaving them feeling especially fresh, and all have hair dryers and showers.

Breakfast is served (for €6) in a room off the reception area which doubles as a lounge complete with television and bookshelves carrying guides, magazines and newspapers. Across the street, a “Flunch” restaurant offers Cheapo-friendly meals, French cafeteria-style. Note: Rooms are located on three floors, without an elevator.
