The hotel lived up to its 2star rating. Adequate but not special. Located on rather busy street made it loud at night. Room is very small. Air conditioning totally inadequate, but helpful staff. Needing to carry luggage one floor was not good, and no staff available to help. Ok but I think you can do better for the price.

Stayed here for three nights April5th -April 8th. Booked on Expedia and it did not say that they dont have ground floor elevators. You get those 1st floor and up, tiny( I guess standard for Paris). First night we were given room on 4th floor, window was blocked due to construction. Small room, very small bathroom. Clean though, outlets did not work. Our universal adaptors couldnt hold on to the loose outlets. Room was not comfortable visually as window was blocked out. Complained at front desk, they gave me thier own adaptor to use which worked only one one outlet out of 3 in the room,and was for one phone, couldnt charge our latops. I told them its not comfotable for us with window blocked out with no visual felt totally cut off. They gave me another room on first floor the next day, which was a little bigger than the previous one and better size bathroom with balcony window. Bathroom had good running water hot and cold. AC does not work! It was very stuffy and hot during the night but thier split units only pushed heat out no cold air. I complained they said the units are set to heating only due to April, which I dont see the logic for as they should be hot and cold both. Due to the changed room I was able to keep window open to make it bearable to sleep at night but was not comfortable.Front staff is courteous, hotel location is very good. Small rooms though. No coffee machines or tissue box in rooms. Clean, stay if you need the location.

My daughters and I stayed here for 6 nights. The staff was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. We did the continental breakfast twice and it was simple but delicious and fresh. The rooms are small and basic but once you get situated they are just fine and met all our needs. We really only used our room to sleep and shower so we could get back out to explore. Our room was very clean and had a nice view of the street. Small one person elevator if taking luggage up or down but starts on the second floor. The corridors are very narrow but seems to be the norm out there. The location was extremely convenient to all the locations we wanted to visit. Access to the metro was a quick walk. Lots of shopping and dining options also within walking distance. The front desk personnel helped arrange for a taxi for us at 3am so we could get to the airport on time on the day of our departure. If we ever returned we would stay here again.

I arrived early, and the staff were kind enough to store my luggage until check-in time, which I really appreciated. The room allocated to me was lovely and beautifully decorated. Unfortunately, there was constant construction work outside the window from the neighbouring building, which made it difficult to stay. As a result, I used the room mainly to store my luggage and spent the night elsewhere. I returned the next morning to freshen up and organise my things. Despite the circumstances, I was impressed with the room and the helpful staff, and I would be happy to return in the future once the construction work is complete.

Exceptional hotel and value

The hotel was as reviewed by others. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was of good value - coffee, juice, fresh bread and croissant, yogurt, cheese, cold or hot cereal. The staff was very helpful and polite. The elevator service begins on the level above the ground floor so you will need to carry luggage up one flight of stairs. I stayed on the third floor in an interior room and it was very quiet. I highly recommend the hotel.

This hotel was great! It was in a popular Asian Restaurant area, and very safe. It was clean and had a spacious bathroom with shower and tub. We were close walking distance to The Louvre and other landmarks, as well as great cafe’s and restaurants and the staff was very friendly. For 10€ each, we had a nice breakfast. It didn’t have fresh fruit, but offered coffee, tea, cereal, bread, croissants, fresh juice, cheese, jams and yogurt. The only inconvenience for us was that Uber wouldn’t pick up on a small street and we really struggled getting to a main road with suitcases. Because we were on the 1st floor, we had to take our suitcases up and then down a flight of stairs. Other than that, I would highly recommend it!

The hotel seemed very dated and was inconsistent throughout rooms. One room had several mirrors and more lighting, while the other room we rented had little to no lighting and only 1 mirror in the bathroom. It may be due to experiences with other hotels, but these rooms were less welcoming with no water available for drinking, and the bathroom soap was a 3-in-1 combination soap. The hairdryers looked dangerous to use because they looked melted and smelled of burning, and stopped functioning after a minute or two of being used. Otherwise, it had a romantic feel to it.

My room was clean, comfortable and charming for a quick overnight. I'm sure it would have been suitable for a longer stay just as well. Both desk staff that I interacted with were friendly and spoke better English than my French, so communication was not a problem. Excellent Japanese food alternatives up the block and a convenient walk to many other options, landmarks and attractions for a first-timer.

My wife and I showed up to this hotel and the photos are definitely deceiving. We were not happy with our room, it was extremely small, the hall ways are extremely narrow and they still use old school lock and keys that you have to leave at the front desk if you are leaving the hotel. The rooms looked dirty and dated, we did not stay over night we ended up checking out. The hotel would not refund me any of my money for the 4 nights I have booked with them. If you are on a serious budget and don’t care about your living conditions then this could be a good place but if you like comfort and cleanliness this is not the hotel for you.

We took breakfast at the hotel each day for €10 each and found the cereals, bread, croissants, yogurt and cheeses plenty - along with coffee and orange juice. The lift only starts on the first floor, which was a bit of a struggle for me but fortunately my 16 year old son was happy to help. Would definitely stay here again.

The room was terrific, but the elevator does not start at the ground floor. When I reserved I confirmed there was an elevator because I have mobility issues. I was not told you have to climb a big staircase to get to the elevator. We left our big bags at reception and just brought up what we needed for the night. Also the elevator is very small, only fits 1 medium person. Bigger people will need to stay on the first floor. The room itself was lovely and the location was convenient. The staff were very friendly and welcoming but there was no assistance available for luggage.
