I have stayed at Citeas in Bordeaux, Nice, Divonne-les-Bains, Paris and Strasbourg. Citea Charenton was definitively on the the bottom of the list. My room experience was very bad (a bathroom wall was in the middle of a paint job and the TV did not work). I suspect that my room experience was an anomaly (there are so many positive reviews). However, the noise in the room is loud and persistent enough to make anyone uncomfortable. One side of the building is adjacent to the ring highway (an 8 lane high-speed highway that roars 24/7) another wall is perpendicular to the same highway and can not be much better. Although the hotel is a five minute walk to the metro that will will take you anywhere in Paris, I would not recommend this hotel to a first-timer in Paris.
