Le Quartier Bercy Square is a great-value boutique hotel in central Paris that does not compromise on style. Its communal areas and bedrooms and ultra modern and clean-lined, with a neutral palette that makes for comfortable living. It lies in the 12th-arrondissement, close to the Bercy arena and the Gare de Lyon.

The facilities

Minimal, as you'd expect from a boutique hotel - the focus has been placed almost entirely on the bedrooms. There is a small garden area, which makes for a great spot to take breakfast in warmer months. Although there's no restaurant, a good breakfast buffet is provided each morning; ask staff for recommendations of nearby places to eat.

The rooms

Each of Le Quartier Bercy Square's 57 guestrooms are contemporary in design, in keeping with the communal areas. All are fully soundproofed and boast air-conditioning, a flat-screen Lowe television, complimentary wifi and luxurious Pascal Morabito toiletries in the bathrooms.
