No lift, 6 floors
Our family room was on the 6th floor with NO LIFT, friendly staff allowed the baby buggy to be left at reception. Family rooms have No Cots available. Location is good, 5 min walk to Metro, Lidl and other food shops nearby, also reasonable priced cafes and bars nearby. Room was clean and decent price, stair case a bit tired and lots of steps. Would stop here again if no small children.

Value for money
The room was clean and the bathroom relatively modern. The room was really small, but that was to be expected in that part of Paris (if you want a larger room for that price, you will probably need to book something further out of town). There is no elevator, the staircase is small, and some of the steps are uneven. Luckily I was only on the fourth floor, as I think there are six floors. The walls were a little thin. The WiFi worked, but was quite slow. Can't comment on the breakfast, because I never had it - there are plenty of places nearby where you can eat. The hotel is in a good location, in a not too busy area, but near several metro stations and within walking distance (for me) of most of the main tourist attractions. The staff were friendly, and there was always someone at the desk to receive/return your room key.

The place is nice and clean. I asked when I booked the room that I get a first floor as my 81 year old mother was with me. There is no elevator and we had a room on the 3 floor. They were nice enough and moved us to the 2nd floor the next day.Still this was not easy for my mother to climb. I clearly specified I want first floor if there is no elevator. Rooms are clean but have no fridge and safe. The rooms and bathrooms are very tiny you can barely move. If this is all you want/need this is the place to stay. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Location is not bad, close the train and bus.

The room is pretty small and you have to take your luggage without help from staff and without escalator. The room could have provided some more amenities but it is quite clean to be honest. The location is good near metro and supermarket and boulongier. Its not bad overall.

The hotel rooms are very small, mattress guarantees your back hurt in the morning. Bathroom was also tiny, no soap/shampoo provided. Shower stand: If you drop your soap, you will have hard time picking it up. The hotel has no aircon, no elevator and we were put on 6th floor (+ Ground floor). Breakfast was bad, coffee tastes like dishwashing water. Croissant wasnot fresh. Area is ok, not central but close to Metro station. We were disappointed and do not recommend this hotel.

Pathetic experience, rude staff. They gave us a tiny room on 6th floor with no elevator service. When told that my wife has back pain and can't climb that much they ridiculed and didn't allow room change.

Poor hotel in noisy district of Paris
Awful staff service, room was not sound proof, cleaner only came once on the first day and don't provide clean towels, carpet ripped up at 7am on Sunday morning with no prior warning, not a 24 hour reception - had to wait outside for 15 minutes for someone to answer the door.

Coudln't be better for shorts stays
Friendly approachable staff, great shower in my room, great free wifi, Slept like a log every night,plus local carrefour 2 mins away, lots of restaurants/cafes/bars all around (but not a noisy area at all), and the Pere Lachaise Metro station is a 5min walk. Absolutely recommend if you are on a budget but want to feel as if you're not.. 25mins walk into the Centre of Paris..

Clean hotel, good service
This is a 2 star hotel, so no frills. However, it was extremely clean and the staff were polite and efficient. Like many Paris hotels, it has no lift and rooms/bathrooms are small but absolutely adequate. Therefore, be prepared to take your suitcases up to your room yourself, as (again in common with other hotels of this star rating) no assistance is offered. Staff are not being unhelpful, it is just that there is usually only one person on Reception. Fortunately, we were on the first floor not the sixth floor! The area is characterful and noisy. I have seen criticism of this but if you keep your windows shut you hear very little. Personally, I found the activity interesting and not disruptive. I would happily stay here again.

Would not recommend.
I don't like to write bad reviews, but out of three months spent traveling through Europe, this was easily our least favorite hotel. The hotel room was very small, and very much in need of updating/repairs. Our room was 6 floors up, with no elevator. The hotel advertised free wifi, and we were given login and password information. Unbeknownst to us, when one of us logged in, anyone else in the room was logged out. Only one person can use it at a time. Overall, the place was not comfortable, and did not feel clean. I'd pay a bit more to stay elsewhere.

Receptionist great, mangaer heartless and a skunk.
The receptionist promised to move us from the 5th Floor to the second floor on the morning following our check in, when I explained my wife has MS and the stairs are difficult for her. The arrogant 'king manager overruled him and we had to stay on the 5th floor for the 5 days. This is not good customer relations or service!!!!!!!!!!! The room was so small I had to turn sideways to pass the end of the bed, the bed posts were at knee cap height kneecapping me every time I passed the end of the bed!!!! Another first, I had to pay a E10 deposit for the TV remote control!! Due to the lack of customer satisfaction skills of the manager I cannot recommend the hotel.

Above average for a Paris 2 stars hotel. Very clean, furniture is new. The room is though very small, and the smallest rooms don't have a door between the room and the bathroom which can be unpleasant for two persons staying together.

The worst hotel I stayed in my life!
The room was the size of a shoebox. No place for the suitcase, no hooks to hang-up clothes, very, very very very noisy bar under the hotel till 3-4am, highly traffic road, poor front desk service, no elevator, no fan or AC, etc. If I knew it was this terrible a hotel I would have not booked it. Strongly hated this 0 star hotel!

Good budget hotel
The room was small and there's no elift, only stairs (which was not a lot of fun considering we were on the 5th floor!). It was very warm in the night so we had the windows open and we soon discovered it was a very noisy street at night with people shouting and singing in the street until 3am. At one point someone had a guitar out! This isn't the hotel's fault in any way and if we'd had the double glazed windows closed I'm sure we wouldn't have heard them. Otherwise a friendly, clean and brilliantly priced hotel. It's a little outside the centre which was ideal for us as we were there for the Pere Lechaise cemetary, but not ideal if you're planning to spend a lot of time in the centre. Having said that, it's very close to the Metro. There are cafes and bistros nearby and a supermarket a couple of doors down which was very convenient.

Very nice, very comfortable hotel!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Modern. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were of adequate size, the bathroom was just adorable. Everything looks fairly new in the room. Close the the Pere Lachiase metro stop. There is a laundry mat near by, also a very nice grocery store. The negatives of the room is that it is on a very loud street, bring earplugs to sleep. Also, the only outlet in the room is right by the door. Which is a little inconvenient if you like to use a curling iron. There is a nice dryer in the bathroom. I would recommend this hotel to friends/family members!

Nightmare
Their ad on Hotels.com was a lie. They did not have parking at the hotel. It was several blocks away. They also said it would be 22 euros to park, at the hotel they told me 24, at the parking garage it was 31 and all I got from the hotel was an oh well. They had a sign on the wall regarding breakfast service. I asked if it was part of the deal, they told me it was. The next day they tried to charge me 6.50 euro each for breakfast. There is no elevator and we were stuck on the top floor, which normally would be great but this was an attic room. The shower was so small that I had to stand outside the stall on a towel to wash because I couldn't bend over in the shower. I've seen bigger showers on small sailboats. I would not recommend this to anyone.

We did not enjoy our stay at this hotel and would never recommend it to anyone. Here are some reasons: - Very bad beds (backaches guaranteed when you wake up) - Loud street and windows have no sound insulation - Tiny rooms - Free WiFi is a joke. Only allow one device per room. - Unclean showers
