Novotel Paris Les Halles
A four-star Novotel on Place Marguerite de Navarre — Louvre 0.7 km, Notre-Dame 1.1 km — central enough that location forgives a lot, and the guest data says you will need that forgiveness.

Check rates for Novotel Paris Les Halles
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Parishotel search — search for “Novotel Paris Les Halles” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +33 1 42 21 31 31 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Book it to be in the middle of the historic centre; accept renovation noise and cleanliness complaints as part of the deal — location and staff are what guests actually praise.
The pin is the product. our hotel data provider puts the Louvre at 0.7 km, Centre Pompidou at 0.4 km, Notre-Dame at 1.1 km and Musée d’Orsay at 1.6 km. Location scores 9.35 out of 10. For a first Paris trip built around museums and Île de la Cité, that walkability is hard to beat at this band.
The supplier rating is 8.6 out of 10 from 4,350 reviews, captured 11 December 2025. Cleanliness, room quality and amenities all sit at 7.85 — the joint weakest categories — with dirty rooms, a smelly hallway, small rooms, temperature issues and renovation noise named in the highlights. Service scores 9.35; helpful staff is the recurring praise.
Facilities are practical rather than spa-led: restaurant, bar, family rooms, pets allowed, and parking listed (not private parking). There is no fitness centre, pool or spa in the facility list, and no airport shuttle. That is consistent with a midrange city Novotel, not a wellness stay.
Check-in is from 03:00 PM with no published latest arrival; check-out is 12:00 PM. The chain is Novotel; our hotel data provider associates CDG as the airport code.
Best for
- First-time visitors who want the Louvre and Notre-Dame on foot or a short Métro hop
- Families who need a chain four-star with family rooms listed
- Travellers who will be out all day and mostly need a clean-enough bed in the right postcode
Not for
- Anyone renovation-sensitive — renovation noise is a named con in the guest highlights
- Guests who want a gym, pool or spa on site; none are listed
- Travellers unwilling to risk cleanliness issues; that category scores 7.85 out of 10

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 8.6/10 from 4,350 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
