Hôtel Les Deux Girafes

Les Deux Girafes sits on Passage Beslay in Saint-Ambroise, within the 11th arrondissement. Inside, the pace changes from the avenues near République: the bar faces a green courtyard, while rooms look either toward it or onto the passage. Oberkampf is close enough for an evening out without making the bedroom an extension of the nightlife.

Its 34 rooms vary substantially in size. A Club measures 15 square meters, a Superior 20 and a Deluxe 24; there are also 24-square-meter triples and a 37-square-meter Junior Suite. The website says four rooms face the passage and most look to the patio, so confirm the orientation attached to your chosen category. For a longer stay, moving from Club to Superior may matter more than an extra off-site amenity.

The bar works for afternoon tea or a drink overlooking the courtyard, and the fitness room uses human-powered wooden equipment including WaterRower and Sprintbok. Continental and buffet breakfasts are available, but the observed offer did not confirm either was included. On Google Maps the official site showed USD 349 in total for two travelers on October 12–13, taxes and fees included; Priceline displayed USD 320 without identifying a comparable room.
