Hôtel Eldorado

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Bohemian Eldorado is a welcoming, reasonably well-run hotel with 33 colourfully decorated rooms above the Bistro des Dames, with a private garden. Rooms facing the back can be quite noisy as they look out onto the restaurant terrace, which stays open until 2am – earplugs may be a good idea. Cheaper-category rooms have washbasins only. Breakfast costs €12.
