“Not for more than one person”

The good: The staff was extremely friendly. The location is convenient to grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, and Paris Metro. The bad: The bed was extremely uncomfortable. The bathroom was so small that if you are sitting on the john, your knees are under the sink. The shower did not have a curtain, but rather an 18" door, which doesn't really keep the water in the tub and leaves the rest of the bathroom rather damp. This hotel is rated three stars by the Paris Tourism Board, but would not meet an American standard for three stars unfortunately. Most of the budget hotel chains in the USA offer more comfortable accomodations than what is offered here, and for the price, I expected much more. It's a shame because the hotel is charming and situated in a cool neighborhood, convenient to so many stores, bars and restaurants. A few upgrades could go a long way.

“Good, Comfortable and Convenient Hotel”

I would definitely stay here again. The Metro is literally right around the corner and there is an ATM between the hotel and the Metro. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Both were a bit small. But, I had not difficulty moving around. The staff was professional and accommodating, although their command of English was less than complete. The hotel provided a daily breakfast that was filling and fresh. The price for the breakfast was ten (10) Euro, which I thought was a bit high. But, that is my only complaint if it can be called a complaint. As one can see from my numerical ratings, my overall experience was quite good.

“yes, but--”

hotel a little small and poky--getting in and out of the shower demands acrobatics coz bathroom is so tiny--but, staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are clean, it's in a paris neighborhood i like a lot--an easy walk in to the marais, but a little out of the way, quiet, not touristy--most pleasant.

“cozy and colorful”

Most hotel rooms in Paris are small, and this hotel is no exception. My room had the tiniest shower known to man. If you are even the slightest bit above average size, you will have trouble with the shower. The hotel is showing signs of wear and tear, too. The pros: English-speaking front desk staff, wireless works pretty well, great location, extremely honest maids (never touched the tip money I left for them each day!), the Italian restaurant up the street called La Divina was FANTASTIC The cons: small elevator barely accommodated me and my suitcase, hallway reeked of gasoline or similar fuel smell, room not deep cleaned, breakfast grossly overpriced and you have to be sure they don't charge you for days that you didn't go to breakfast, safe didn't work well

“this place has seen better days”

Our trip was great overall, but it was not fun to return home at night to a tiny, dingy room in an out of the way neighborhood. I understand that hotel rooms are smaller in paris than what americans are use to, but ours was absolutely tiny. The picture they provide must be of their largest room, except I don't know what that would be since we chose the more expensive double option. The mattresses are old and lumpy, the floors are strangely uneven and there's no water pressure in the shower. Also they claim to be in the marais district, but they're actually in the bastille. The marais is within walking distance. The staff was ok, the night desk clerk was the only one who was genuinely friendly and was willing to give us little extras like champagne glasses. I think this hotel is overpriced based on its condition.

“Average Hotel for Paris”

When we first checked in, we were placed on the top floor and the room had no air conditioning as requested. However, the receptionist was able to find us a different room with air conditioning. Also, the in room safe was locked and had to be opened by the receptionist. The room itself was basic and was ok for our 3 night stay since we weren't planning to be in it other than to sleep. One good plus with the hotel was that it had free wifi. The elevator was tiny, the hallway smelled like oil based paint, and the shower had a very small partition that allowed water to get all over the floor. Other than that it worked out ok, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who was expecting a lot from a Hotel. I think the descriptions and other reviews helped describe it well. We liked the location as it was close to Oberkampf metro station, within walking distance to many cafes and other areas (longer walk for main attractions, but doable), and bakeries nearby. We preferred the area because it was not very touristy and was great for strolling day or night.

“Area 11 meets the Marais”

I was greeted by an American mid-west couple who stated welcome to “hotel hell” . Granted i expected a little better but, it was OK, however i would not recommend this hotel to a select group of my friends or peers.... Of the five hotel staffers i dealt with on a regular basis, two were extremely polite kind & friendly which made it somewhat tolerable, most everyone else seems angry or stereotypically rude... I wanted to be closer to the Bastille and Place des Voges this trip - I was under the impression i would be closer to Arr 4 and was suprised to be in Arr 11....

“Liked it more each day...”

Was probably great 20 years a go. Appears tattered and a bit dirty in the lobby. Neat feature is its popularity as a place for the exposition of a different artist's paintings each month. Overall good location. Price is moderate compared to some.

“over priced breakfast”

would not recommend this hotel based on the quality of the room, breakfast, and location. our room smelled of smoke, and tons of butts in window grate. the breakfast was horribly over priced, and would not eat there at all. there is a nice restraunt around the corner. location is no good if you want to see paris at night. it is good in the sense that you get away from the tourist area.
