The hotel has an overpriced official rate but look for the many available offers of below €100.

Good breakfast, with unexpected quality and variety for hotels of those standards.

A renovation might help.
Should 3* hotels have such poor standards ?

While the hotel is a bit too far away from the centre it is near a nice quiet residential area, and right opposit a metro. The rooms are clean and reception staff helpful, other than that we would not stay there again. The rooms are small, it looks like they have tried to cram as many rooms into the hotel as possible - cramming two rooms into what is only a decent size area for one room. Also, the window was tiny and as it was facing a busy road you couldn't leave it open at night, even with it closed you could still hear the traffic a bit. While the hotel is ok if you are on a budget, you still feel you are being short-changed (but that unfortunately applies to most Paris hotels at the moment).

We stayed here over New Years. The room was clean and had everything you need for a city break that doesn't involve spending any real time in there. The room was very cold and the heating didn't work.The shower was OK but dont have one in the morning or during busy times. Great location for metro and tram. Breakfast was severly lacking in choice and taste. One night we went back early and thought we might have a few drinkis in the bar to find it was the barmans night off and nobody else was serving. We couldn't even get a coffee. The staff were very helpful and did everything they could. Wouldnt go back.

Our room had a lovely view of the street and a big window that you could open (lots of street noise but that is to be expected in Paris. If you closed the window there was barely any sound from the street at all). Our rooms were clean and had AC. The bathrooms were modern, the water was hot and we received fresh towels every day. No complaints in that department at all. Our family spent 5 nights there during a heat wave and the rooms were always comfortably cool.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed their breakfast service which included both hot and cold selections ranging from croissants to scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon. The coffee was delicious.

My husband and I and our teenage son found the proximity to the Ballard station (right across the street) to be very convenient.

Overall we would describe this hotel as somewhat plain (no frills) but comfortable, clean, and reasonably priced.
