Excellent for self-catering short stays
This hotel exceeded our expectations. We had originally booked a double studio and on arrival were upgraded to one with two separate bedrooms (designed for 3), since they weren’t very full. Included was a kitchenette with microwave, coffee maker, fridge, hotplates, etc. so it is ideal for self-catering, although they do provide breakfast at extra cost if required. On the negative side, there was a damp smell, probably coming from the sink or bathroom. Also, the environment was quite noisy. There is a large pedestrian area between the hotel and the Cite des Sciences which seems to be used as a playground by the locals on some nights, even at 4am, so it’s best to sleep with the windows closed. Also we were aware of the movement of Metro trains under the hotel, even though we were on the 7th floor. Despite the above, I would stay there again. The service was good and friendly. The towels were replaced every day. The guy in reception spoke English and made us feel welcome.

Moved to a different, better hotel in a better part of Paris
On arriving at the Citea de La Vallette in Paris, I was informed that technical difficulties had prevented me from being checked in. However, the hotel had already rebooked me in a new Citea in another part of the city (Charenton) which was much nicer than my original selection. They paid for a cab to the new location, which was much appreciated. Although the access to Metro was poorer at the new hotel, everything else about it was nicer - neighborhood, freshness, etc.
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Use the Metro (forget cabs) and plan to walk. Paris is a walkers city (no wonder the French are not overweight). Start early in the morning - most important attractions open at 9 to 10 am and you can beat the crowds with an early start. Use local markets and bakeries to save on food costs. My hotel had a kitchenette and I saved much money on meals. Learn some French and try to use it -- I found no rude Frenchmen during the trip.
