High on the Montmartre hill, on rue Joseph de Maistre, Terrass Hôtel Montmartre by MH occupies a building raised in 1911 by the entrepreneur Edmond Hurand. It’s one of the neighborhood’s storied addresses, from the era that gave Montmartre its bohemian reputation. Today it holds 78 rooms in a renovated interior that keeps traces of that history — period details set against a modern redesign. The hotel is best known for its panoramic restaurant and rooftop bar, with views over Paris toward the Eiffel Tower.
The address is 12–14 rue Joseph de Maistre, in the 18th arrondissement — solidly inside Montmartre. It’s a short walk from the steps up to Sacré-Cœur and the winding lanes around Place du Tertre, but on a calmer stretch away from the busiest tourist flow. The street is residential and gently sloped, typical of this side of the Butte, with independent cafés and bakeries rather than souvenir shops.
It’s a location built for walking: downhill toward Place de Clichy and Pigalle in one direction, uphill toward the Sacré-Cœur basilica and the artists’ square in the other. This hotel suits guests who want to be inside the Montmartre atmosphere, not just visiting it for an afternoon.

Our verdict
A 4.7/5 average from 1,704 reviews is a strong, well-established score for a 78-room hotel. So is a #61 ranking out of nearly 1,900 Paris hotels — this isn’t a small sample skewing the number. A Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice award for 2026 backs it up, reflecting a full year of happy guests.
History and setting do a lot of the work here. Guests often mention the building’s 1911 character, the panoramic rooftop restaurant and bar, and the location itself — inside Montmartre, not at its edge. These are the reasons a stay here feels distinctive rather than generic.
Noise is the complaint that comes up most in 2025–2026 reviews. Several guests mention construction work from a neighboring building. Others mention noise from an on-site laundry room disrupting sleep in certain rooms. Mattress comfort is the second recurring theme — described as inconsistent between rooms. A smaller but repeated complaint: guests on upper floors sometimes notice a fried-oil cooking smell in the hallways, likely from the rooftop bar’s tapas menu. None of this points to a serious problem, but it’s worth knowing before you book a higher floor expecting total quiet.
The rooms: real square meters
| Category | Size | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | 16–19 m² | 2 |
| Classic Balcony | 16–19 m² | 2 |
| Superior | 20–23 m² | 2 |
| Artist’s Studio | 25–30 m² | 3 |
| Privilege Eiffel | 25–30 m² | 3 (or 2 adults + 2 children) |
| Privilege Eiffel Balcony | 25–30 m² | 3 (or 2 adults + 2 children) |
Our advice: unlike many boutique Montmartre hotels, Terrass publishes a size for every room type, so it’s easy to compare. Classic rooms are compact but usable. Anything from Superior up gains real space. If a view or a balcony matters more than square footage, ask specifically about a Eiffel Tower sightline when you book the Privilege Eiffel categories — not every room in that group has one confirmed.
What a night really costs
Price-tracking sites (in US dollars) show December as the cheapest month, at about $214 a night — roughly 56% below the yearly average. June is the most expensive, at about $393, some 36% above average. Weeknights actually cost more than weekends here (about $368 versus $343), a pattern more typical of business travel than tourism. This roughly matches the hotel’s own price range (€180–335). Expect the best value in December and January, and the highest rates and tightest availability around June.
What gets added to the bill
- Breakfast: served 7:00–10:30 a.m., with room service available; the official site doesn’t publish a price, so confirm when you book
- City tourist tax: commonly the 4-star rate of about €8.45 per person, per night in 2026 — though since the hotel’s own site doesn’t display a star classification, confirm the exact rate at check-in
- Reserved parking is available but likely carries its own daily charge; ask when booking if you’re arriving by car
What is included, and what the hotel does not have
What’s included
The panoramic restaurant “Edmond Hurand” and rooftop bar; Nuxe spa treatments; fitness equipment; 24-hour reception and concierge; laundry service; bike storage; event and seminar space; childcare on request.
What the hotel does not have
The official site doesn’t confirm elevator access or air conditioning for every room, so ask directly if either is essential. There’s no confirmed pool on site.
Is this hotel right for you?
Yes, if…
You want to be inside Montmartre, not a walk away from it. A rooftop restaurant with a view matters to your trip. You don’t mind paying a premium in June for the location and the buzz around it.
No, if…
You’re a very light sleeper who can’t risk construction or laundry-room noise. You need a guaranteed elevator or confirmed air conditioning. You’re chasing the lowest possible rate — peak-season pricing here runs high.
The neighborhood
This is Montmartre in its quieter, residential mode. Steep streets lead down to the cemetery in a few minutes. It’s a short climb up to the tourist crowds around Sacré-Cœur and Place du Tertre, and close to the shops and cafés of rue des Abbesses. The area has kept the artistic, slightly bohemian feel the neighborhood is known for, without being at the center of the daytime tourist flow.
- Cimetière de Montmartre: about 5 minutes on foot
- Rue des Abbesses shops and cafés: about 10 minutes
- Sacré-Cœur and the steps up to the basilica: about 10–12 minutes
- Moulin Rouge and Place Blanche: about 12 minutes
- Place du Tertre, the artists’ square: about 15 minutes
All walk times above are approximate estimates, not measured distances.
Getting there
- By métro: Place de Clichy or Blanche, both roughly 10–12 minutes on foot from the hotel
- From Orly: a regulated flat-rate taxi to the Right Bank costs €45; or take the single “Paris Région ↔ Airports” ticket (€14 full fare since January 2026) via Orlyval/RER B plus onward métro. The Orlybus was discontinued in March 2025.
- From CDG: a regulated flat-rate taxi to the Right Bank costs €56; the same €14 ticket covers RER B into the city. The Roissybus was discontinued on March 1, 2026.
