I stayed with a friend in this hotel for 6 nights on our first trip to Paris. First impressions aren't wonderful, the hotel itself is very easy to find and conveniently situated within 5 minutes of a metro station, however as it is positioned up a side street (which was typically full of strange looking characters), we were initially wondering how this hotel could possibly belong in he "city of love."
However, the inside is much nicer, staff were polite and happy to speak English and the room was very clean although basic; it comprised of 2 chairs, one bed (although we had requested a twin room, but did not complain as we were happy to share), a desk, wardrobe and bathroom.
Rooms were cleaned every day and new bedsheets and towels put down. My only complaint about the room was that the shower had no hot water. After a few days this became an issue as it really was too cold to spend more than a few minutes under the water.
Breakfast was also basic, a croissant and roll with butter and jam and a hot drink. They did not provide juice which I thought would come as a given but it was not a problem for us to go t one of the local shops to buy some. Breakfast staff were mostly impolite and unhelpful although we spoke French they got our drinks orders wrong a few times.
Overall, the stay was disappointing due to the unfriendliness of staff and faults with the room, however we did not pay much for the room considering the location and therefore believe that we got what we paid for. I would recommend for a few but certainly not for a whole week as we stayed. Also I would not choose this hotel if you are looking for a perfect romantic break, or if you have particularly high expectations (we're both students so are used to unsavoury accommodation!)
