I also wish I had listened to previous reviewers. The location/ price for location was the only positive thing about this hotel. Otherwise, the front desk staff weren't that friendly, one girl didn't know how to work the phone system and couldn't transfer calls to my room, the cleaning lady was rude and let herself in without knocking, and worst of all, there is a club directly below the hotel and you can hear the music and people yelling until 4am. In fact, the club even uses the stairway for the hotel as a coat check. The room seemed kind of dingy and bathroom was small, bed was OK but wouldn't work for someone with a bad back. I would recommend staying a little further out to get a better deal for a better quality hotel. Paris metro can take you anywhere; I didn't feel the location of this hotel was worth all the noise and other negatives...

Unsatisfactory. Lists as a 3 star..that's a joke. The noise level was beyond ridiculous. I could deal with a microscopic room, if were a place of rest and peace. But it's anything but. I used earplugs and sleepaids, to no avail. It is located right above one the busiest cafes/bars on the boulevard. The partyers stayed until 4..only to have the garbage trucks come at 7. This is a bare bones, budget hotel at best. The only redeeming factor is that it's close to alot of things. Traveller beware!

Here are the positives--great location, excellent staff, adequate rooms and nice continental breakfast.

Here are the downsides: terrible bed--the springs were poking through the mattress; no internet connection, dirty carpet.

For a first time experience in Paris, this was an adequate hotel but my back would not let me stay here again. I don't know what renovations they did but they need to invest in better beds and nicer carpets, at a good carpet cleaner.

Small, bare rooms.Very clean although a bit decrepit. Friendly staff. Small but efficient elevator. No restaurant, but many nearby (and a simple breakfast is provided in room on a tray for 9 Euros pp). French TV only. Very close to Metro station. Warm (but not hot) water in shower. No problem with noise. Radiators in room can be controlled manually. OK for a few nights but I would hope to find a hotel with at least a bit of charm next time. This is one of the chain of Jardin De Paris hotels, and it certainly has no Jardin! Note the number of the hotel in the street because it has no visible name above the door.
