I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and i really enjoyed it. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I stayed in a room on the first floor. It was a very small room but this was what i was expecting when i accounted for other reviews and generally what i expected from Paris. The room was very clean. My room was located on the side of the little street that the hotel entrance is off and directly opposite the little cafe. In the evening there are a lot of people outside the cafe so you might find it a little noisy. The cafe plays live music and because i was so close i could hear it loud and clear. I actually really enjoyed this but some people may not.
The hotel was located right near Grand Boulevards metro station but is walking distance to Notre Dame (about 20 minutes), Marais and the Louvre. There are lots of nice restaraunts and shops near it. I was travelling by myself and felt safe in the area. I did catch taxis back to the hotel late at night but generally it was fine.
One thing i was disappointed in was that the breakfast was the same everyday. A croissant, baguette and cheese. This would be fine for the first couple of days but if you do plan on staying longer you might find that you want to explore other breakfast options.
