Rue Tholoze District 18 safe or unsafe?

We have just booked a room at the Comfort Hotel on Rue Tholoze in District 18. After reading so many %26quot;unsafe%26quot; posts about this district I am unsure if the area we will be staying is safe or not. Any info would be so welcomed. Thank You

Hi -

I just read several of the reviews of this hotel - two to one in favour of it, BTW, and I realized that I know exactly where it is. The hotel is near Pigalle, and although there may be some ladies of the evening plying their trade in the vicinity, it%26#39;s a perfectly safe place to be. When you%26#39;re going out, ask reception which way Pigalle is, and then the whereabouts of the Metro station, in the opposite direction.

Take some ear plugs with you, because there are restaurants, etc. on the block and there may be noise when folks leave them. I always pack ear plugs since a %26quot;very quiet street%26quot; wasn%26#39;t because of a puppy that howled all night. Now, I%26#39;m prepared.

Rue Tholozé is just off rue des Abbesses and it is an excellent location, if you don%26#39;t mind hills (it is rather steep). It is also the location of the Studio 28, one of the two oldest cinemas in Paris. The interior lamps were designed by Jean Cocteau.

I have stayed on this street twice. Perfectly safe. In fact it is really nice. A short stroll to Abbesses for the metro, past the local shops selling fruit, veg and some very smelly cheeses! This being Montmartre, it%26#39;s Paris with a village feel.

I have passed the door of your hotel, but havent been inside. I stayed at the Hotel des Arts, about 10 years ago, then about 5 years ago. In my many trips to Paris I have called back to this area on many occasions.

Don%26#39;t worry. You have picked a good area.

Thanks for all the information. I feel much better now. I%26#39;m sure we will enjoy our trip. And sleep well with our eye plugs if needed.

Rue Tholoze really isn%26#39;t near Pigalle. Not so you%26#39;d see streetwalkers or be kept awake by noise from nightclubs.

The hotel is a block above Rue des Abbesses. If you use Google Maps/Stretview, the hotel is on the corner of Rue Tholoze and Rue Durantin.

I think it is quite safe, a few cafés are on rue des Abbesses so good to go out, don%26#39;t miss rue Lepic on a saturday morning
