Any recommendations for short-term luggage storage near Sentier in Paris? Is City-Locker legit?

I'll be staying in Sentier then schlepping to meet friends near Place de la Republique well after my hotel's checkout time.

I'll see if my hotel will keep my bag for the day (a Tuesday, if it matters), so I can tool around unencumbered, but I'd like a backup plan. Advise me!

Europeans hotel will usually hold your luggage as a matter of course, since you've paid for your stay and they have your full information.

I can confirm - I've left a bag after checkout multiple times in Paris with no issues. There is usually a storage space filled with left luggage somewhere near the reception desk and they might even give you a tag like at a coat check.

Best answer: I agree, most Paris hotels will hold your luggage, but I’ve also used nannybag with great success, and it looks like they have storage options near Sentier (basically you book a hotel or shop to store your luggage in a safe location for the day for a small fee, arranged through the app/website - you just show up with your booking code and they take the luggage)

Best answer: Stasher is good for left luggage too.

Best answer: City Locker is just fine, pretty reasonably priced compared to the cost in the SNCF stations. But I would only use it if I knew I was going to be wandering far from my hotel.
