I stayed in Hotel Chatillon at the end of September 2011 for 6 nights - 3 of which were for business, and 3 then for pleasure.

Let's keep things relatively simple. The downsides:

- It's not all that cheap at €140/night rack rate for a 3* hotel, but then Paris is expensive at the best of times, and the £/€ exchange rate is pretty poor at the moment.
- I could barely access the free wireless internet up on the 6th floor (room 62). This wasn't too much of an issue for the second half of my stay, but while I was working it's a fairly essential feature. I managed to cobble together a weak signal by remotely tethering my smartphone, giving me some much needed flexibility in picking up the network. This problem may be confined to the 6th floor only, I've no idea. This could be easily solved by adding a few extra routers so that there's one on each floor.
- The breakfast isn't really brilliant value at €8. I'd much rather grab something from one of the nearby patisseries, but some people (like the below reviewer) may find the opposite - it just depends on your outlook, really.

And the upsides, which far outweigh the downsides.
- It was exceptionally clean and the room was well tended every day.
- The room was a decent size for Paris. Sure, if you're used to US room sizes, it's going to be a shock to the system, but this is Paris and rooms are small, so it felt relatively roomy for the two of us!
- It has been recently refurbished. Some of the traveller photos I've seen on here are very different to how the rooms are now. It's a huge change and really makes it feel like a nice place to be.
- The staff are fantastic. I can't praise them highly enough.
- The location is pretty good - a leisurely 5 minute walk up the road to the Alesia Metro station, very easy to find (two stops and you're at RER B with its links to Gare Du Nord, CDG etc.). The walk to the Jean Moulin tube/Porte D'Orleans tube and metro stations down the road is even shorter. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby if you don't want to head further afield. I had an awesome steak at the very unassuming looking Jardins Contini a couple of minutes walk on from the Alesia Metro station on Av. du General Leclerc.
- The location is also nice and quite - just off Av. Jean Moulin in a quiet street with very little activity. It was 30+ degrees while we were there, and save for a rubbish collection in the morning, there was no noise in the vicinity, even with the windows wide open.

I've probably forgotten some of the other plus points - there really were lots of them. I'm not quite sure about the experience of the earlier reviewer - the €8 breakfast option was clearly conveyed and the option was there to take it or leave it on a daily basis.

All in all, I'd have absolutely no hesitation in heading back to Hotel Chatillon - it's fantastic.

This hotel is well-kept and quiet, being set back from the main road in a quiet little cobbled square, which also makes it a little trickier to find than other hotels. We found the staff to be friendly, courteous, smartly dressed and well-organised. The hotel itself is well-maintained and although not luxuriously decorated, still looks appealing on the inside and out. The breakfast dining room was very nice and we actually found preferable for a quiet coffee and croissant than local cafes, unless you want to people-watch in a busier area, or get some fancier pastries. The room we had was simple but smart and clean, and a good size for Paris - the furniture was of a pretty good standard and was modern and all matched, with the added bonus of a decent LCD TV and a safe in the wardrobe. The bathroom looked newly renovated and was decorated to a good standard. It's a short walk (10 minutes or so) to the nearest metro, Porte d'Orleans, which also has a tram stop, although you can walk up to Alesia which is a couple of minutes further in the other direction. There are plenty of bars, brasseries and patisseries nearby.

We had no problems with noise, and in fact found the place to be very quiet with regard to street noise - we slept with the window open no problem. We could hear a little of other rooms, but no more so than any other hotel I've been to.

I think this is a good value paris hotel, especially if you get a good last minute deal - we got a double room for more than €20 per night cheaper than the standard rate.

I d like to tell everyone that this hotel was the worst hotel i ve ever stayed in. I came to Paris with my mum and we choose this Hotel because its well location and price. In the begining everything was ok but when we are checking out they tried to CHARGE US ONE DAY MORE THAN WE VE STAYED THERE. I told the recepcionist that i didn t agree with the price, i was just complaining about something wrong but we got nervous and rude and tols me and MY 60 YEARS OLS MUM he was gonna call the police. Wait in any moment i told him i was gonna live without pay but anyway he told me this disgusting thing. Can you believe how my mum felt? Also they charged the breakfest [8 euros for a POOR breakfest] without previous advice. In the end OF COURSE i payed the bill but everything was really traumatic, i don t recommend this hotel for anybody.

This is a great hotel in a quaint little square. Staff were very helpful and compassionate with the fact our French was poor. They did laugh at our attempts. Easy stroll to Metro at Alesia past some very tempting Patisseries and cafes. Room was neat and clean and beds were very comfortable. We paid 84 Euro a night and felt the value for money was outstanding. If in Paris again would not hesitate to stay here. Down load directions before going or you could wander for a while trying to find the Hotel.
