Presentation

The Best Western Premier Faubourg 88 is located on Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, a ten-minute walk from the Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est. The classic façade stands out first, before you step inside and discover a more contemporary black-and-white décor with touches of red here and there.

At the reception desk, open day and night, the team switches from French to English, and sometimes to German or Spanish depending on who comes to the counter. An e-concierge app complements the welcome, handy for planning outings without having to go back downstairs to ask questions each time.

On the ground floor, the inner courtyard serves as a buffer zone. A few square meters are enough to cut off the noise from the street. The lounge bar, meanwhile, remains accessible at any hour, drink in hand, for those returning late from a night out in Pigalle or who prefer to end the day without going straight back up to their room.

The 29 rooms are divided into several categories, from Classic to Junior Suite with its seating area. Safe, air conditioning, and sometimes a Nespresso coffee machine. In the bathroom, bathrobe and slippers await, a detail that turns a quick shower into a real break. Two categories are designed for guests with reduced mobility.

As for parking, you will have to rely on public streets: the hotel does not have private parking. In this area, well served by the RER and the metro, a car is rarely the most practical way to get around Paris anyway.

In the morning, the breakfast room opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 10:30 a.m., or 11 a.m. on weekends. Cereals, pastries, deli meats, eggs, cheeses, fresh and dried fruit make up a buffet that is not included in the room rate but is gladly taken as an option, especially for those who prefer not to look for a café outside before heading off to explore Montmartre.

As soon as you leave the hotel, Montmartre appears within a few streets: the Wall of Love for the classic photo, then the climb up to Sacré-Cœur, where Paris suddenly spreads out before you. Heading back down, the Canal Saint-Martin offers a more laid-back pause, with quays and cobblestones, before Pigalle takes over after nightfall.

One tip for the way back: between 10 p.m. and midnight, the Poissonnière station remains open and is a two-minute walk away, more than enough to get back without lingering after a night out in Pigalle.
