Very good location. Room was a good size. Decent price. Front desk staff pleasant and accommodating. Old furniture, some cracks in the wood. Bathroom needs renovation. Room not very clean. Not very good sound insulation.

False Advertising, very disappointed
Hotel was much smaller than advertised, had to scale 3 floors of stairs with my luggage due to a very small lift, hallways were always dark with hard to find light switches, furniture was in much worse condition than advertised, bathroom much smaller than advertised, had no access to the safe to store my valuables and when attempted to contact reception got no response, the management guide stated 'No valuables to be left in the hotel room' and with no access to safe and the horrible introduction we attempted to find another hotel room for the night but was unsuccessful, overall disappointed with this introduction to Paris, would not have even paid £50 a night let alone £170 definitely disappointed

Perfect spot for young travelers. Social scene with boutique bars and restaurants all around. Metro right across the street. Super fun style inside. Great value for PARIS! Hotels right by this are 4x the cost! Don't tell everyone because it's our new place(wink) Highly recommend. Yummy breakfast. Simple and affordable with perfect location.

My main concern during our stay was the AC, at first I was hesitant to choose this hotel because of the reviews about the AC not working that eventually they will fix it but sad to say they didn’t…and since we were there first week of September and was so hot and humid, so frustrated…

Your feedback is important to us as it helps us improve our services. We hope that despite these issues, you still had a pleasant overall stay with us.We take your comments to heart, and we strive to ensure that every stay is a positive experience for our guests.

Our all-you-can-eat buffet is designed to offer a variety of options to suit the diverse tastes of our customers.

The front staff was helpful but the hotel itself is not clean. They appear to have one iron for the hotel. We stayed in a quadruple room with the kids. The room was very small (normal for Paris) but loud noises from the street and above were constant. No place to store suitcases. I would not stay in this hotel next time.

I didn't like how they show you incredible pictures but when you open the door its another thing,,, they lie with the pictures, the bathroom was so small that I couldn't take a shower because my back was half out of the little shower,,,I hated it was a $290 dollar night for a horrible place and the wifi is just for 2 minutes and after that runs really slow,,, no hair dryer, they charge you for it ,,,, no happy at all with it and then on the front desk they don't let you to sit on the tables because they are just for breakfast,,,, well the 2 miserable little couches on the front have the sun shining and since they don't have any air conditioning you can died and they won't care,,,

Small, but clean.
We booked two triple rooms. The third bed was very small and made the already small room seem very cramped. It was only for one night, so it was bearable. The hotel was clean and the area safe. Breakfast was available.

The location is great but the wifi is horrible if you need it for business or even if for pleasure exploring the marais, canal st martin area etc and the metro is just steps from the door. The amenities in the bathroom were non existent. You would not want to spend a quiet morning in your room here. Not a hotel i would recommend or stay at again.

location is excellent
The Room was a nice room with a balcony but the toilet is very small to the level you need to open the toilet door in order to use the basin with comfort. as well the left is very tiny, if you are a family with luggage you will need to go down or up in batches. the area has many shops and its close to the republic tube station which made it very convenient when using public transport, i also was able to walk to the louvre museum (about 2 km). The service is lacking and very hard to obtain and you have to go down for everything you need, I had an extra child (aged 4) which i was charged extra when i arrived for the same room with no extra towels and no extra bed provided. * booking cost jumped from 270 British pounds to 433.73 pounds for the extra child and breakfast for two children which wasn't worth it. better to buy your own breakfast from outside if you looking to save on your stay. Sound insulation is not adequate as i was able to hear other guests in their room on either side of my room.
