If you hate the impersonal, minimalist hotels of the big chains, you'll love the Hotel Augustin. From the moment you enter, the furniture, walls and carpets play up the cheerful motif: pop colors and a large sofa with soft lines set the tone for a comfortable, atypical hotel.
Turn your head to the left and you'll see the reception desk, not standing up as in most hotels, but seated on large chairs (after your long journey, you've earned the right to rest a while!); turn your head to the right and you'll see the large breakfast room, also open from 1 p.m. to 2 a.m. to visitors in need of a snack: indeed, a free buffet is offered, always different and composed of sweet and savory cakes, cold or hot drinks and fruit.
On the upper floors, keep your eyes peeled: artist Akira Inumaru has created a charming story that unfolds on each floor, in the elevator and in the rooms. Augustin is a little character who crosses eras and explores Parisian monuments with his little friend Augustine. Adorable! This touch of whimsy is matched by the comfort of the rooms, with their acidic colors and star-covered walls: spending a few nights at the Hotel Augustin offers you a different hotel experience, more fun, more family-oriented, but also more romantic.
On business? This is the ideal address to clear your mind after a hard day's work! In terms of bathrooms, it's total comfort: brand-new, they are equipped with spacious bathtubs or showers and bath products from the excellent Algotherm brand. Still on the subject of comfort, a free mini-bar delights the taste buds, while the limited storage space may disappoint some (but for a few days, what does it matter?).
All in all, a very attractive address!
