An extra bed for a third guest, including breakfast, can be arranged for an additional €25 per night. Parking is also available for €25 per day.
8. Common Complaints
While overwhelmingly positive, a few minor recurring issues or criticisms have been noted by guests:
- Small Elevator: The elevator is frequently mentioned as being "tiny tiny," typically only accommodating two people or one person with luggage. However, guests often acknowledge this as a common reality in older Parisian buildings and not a significant deterrent. This might pose an issue for those with mobility challenges due to also having "windy stairs."
- Street Aesthetics: One review mentioned the immediate street being "a little less attractive," although this was quickly dismissed as not being a problem due to the vibrant surrounding neighborhood.
- TV Connectivity: An isolated complaint reported issues with connecting a Chromecast to the room's TV, with only regular channels working.
- Potential for Noise from Protests: While the hotel's street is quiet, the wider Place de la République area can sometimes be noisy due to protests, though the impact on the hotel itself is generally minimal.
- Isolated Cleanliness/Security Issue: One review mentioned an unclean room and a malfunctioning door lock that left the room open on two occasions, though this appears to be an uncommon experience given the overall feedback on cleanliness.

I stayed at Hotel La Nouvelle Republique last summer for three nights and it was a wonderful trip. Booking and check-in were very easy. I was upgraded to a room with a terrace, which was a wonderful surprise and was a great spot to start the morning and rest in the evening after exploring the city. Hotel staff were friendly and greeted us whenever we were in the lobby. The room was spacious and cl...

Great boutique hotel, felt quiet but likely due to time of year, good sized & clean rooms, hot drinks in lobby were a great perk for winter season - great location too within walking distance to many restaurants . Knocked a star off for service as was completely ignored by reception upon check-in who only acknowledged my partner,quite odd. Otherwise all other staff were friendly & helpful. Hammam ...

I found the room comfortable, and the management and service to be excellent. Coffee and tea are provided both the room and in the lobby (which is spacious and pleasant). There are lots of choices for restaurants and stores in the neighborhood and very good bus service on the adjoining streets. Even though my room faced the street, it was very quiet as well.

This is an incredibly welcoming hotel in Paris with tremendous value for money. The rooms are clean, quiet, and so thoughtfully laid out. The bathroom floor is heated, the shower is terrific, they're committed to sustainability. The staff will help you with everything from basic questions to any needs that pops up. They sent up a glass of wine after they knew I had a long day. It truly has the ser...

Stayed here with my partner in January (the best time to come to Paris-no tourists, tons of sales, very chill), and this hotel was perfect. Close to 2 different metro lines, VERY spacious rooms, and a lovely lobby/eating area to do work if needed. The staff was helpful and chill. Next to a street with TONS of restaurant/food options. Would definitely stay again and try the hammam next time.
