We needed to book a hotel at a short notice. Found a decently priced one in Paris. Not very expensive, close to train connection. Easily connect to most of the important attraction. Breakfast was not good. Few eat out closeby.

This is a small neighborhood property with clean rooms, new bathrooms and a very French atmosphere. A bit far from most attractions but in a real neighborhood, with non-touristy restaurants, shops etc.
Highly recommended for budget travelers who are not new to France.

We chose this hotel over similarly-priced hotels recommended by a reliable guidebook due to how cozy the rooms looked in the pictures. Our mistake. In the future we'll stick with the guidebook.

The Good: close to the metro, low price, clean sheets, lots of hot water. The Bad: shabby room with "garage sale" furniture and dirty carpet (The magic they worked with the dim, warm lighting in their pictures hides much). The Ugly: dingy, slightly greasy-feeling towels (This, on top of the 'bad' mentioned above, was enough to make us try to find another hotel. When we were unable to on such short notice, we went out and bought towels to use during our stay at what my husband began calling 'Le Dump'.

My husband would rate it terrible, but I'm going with "okay, but with problems" due to the 'good' above and the fact you can work around the 'ugly'. I would not stay there again, but it'll work if you need something cheap (although I'm sure there are better hotels at a similar price) and plan to spend minimal time in the room (be sure to bring your own towels).

Lesson: Don't trust the pictures presented by hotels.

This reasonably priced, small hotel is conveniently located near a metro station in a quiet location near the eiffel tower. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable and the breakfasts delightful. The owner, Peter, was very helpful in planning our daily activities. I will stay here next time.
