The hotel was in a nice location outside of the city but close to a metro station. It was simple to get to all of the main tourist spots in the heart of Paris but it was located in a less touristy area where there were great cafes, bakeries, grocery, quaint shops, etc. even a French bookstore. The staff was kind and helpful. The hotel room was clean but not spotless. The BIG downside is that since there is no air conditioning the window needed to be opened, however, the noise outside of the window made it very difficult to sleep. There were many loud noises on the streets -- scooters, delivery trucks, dogs barking. For the price and the location, it's worth the stay JUST BRING YOUR EARPLUGS.

this hotel is very good: middle range price for middle-top quality. it has functional rooms, very good service, wifi access in a little sitting room on the ground floor (we didn't manage to use the room access, though), and a good location if you want to explore the parisian paris; lovely buttes chaumont park is close by, there's a big organic supermarket just down the road, and, if you are traveling with kids, you can try the cozy children library that is just around the corner. we didn-t think it was noisy above parisian standard, but it can change very much depending on where your room is located. if you are very sensitive, ask for 'une chambre coté cour'

My husband and I stayed here for four nights over the New Year holiday 2009/2010. We chose the Perdrix Rouge because of its location within walking distance of the apartment of some American friends who had moved to Paris earlier in 2009. The price was a consideration as well. We paid 95 Euro per night, plus 7 Euro each for breakfast if we wanted it.

The 20th is not a fashionable, touristy or expensive quarter, but the Hotel is just steps from the Jourdain Metro station so only 6 stops from Rambuteau (Pompidou Centre), 7 from the Hotel de Ville station and 8 from Chatelet/Les Halles, which is the Metro and RER hub of Paris.

One of the best things about the Hotel was the friendliness, efficiency and good humour of the employees. Most spoke at least a little English, so everything worked out with our little French, and there was always someone available if we needed any assistance, which was not often.

We did not venture into the lift as it was even smaller than other reviewers have described, but made the trip to our room on the 3rd floor by the rather dodgy (circular) staircase. Room #36 overlooked the church and the square/intersection below, so there was always something to look at. It was small room, with standard double bed, little bedside tables, on wall bedside lights, desk with chair and luggage rack. Don't bring a cat, as you wouldn't be able to swing it. We found the bed reasonably comfortable and warm, although another couple we knew staying there had aching backs each morning. Two pillows on the bed and a third with an extra blanket (not needed)in the small closet.

We had a shower rather than bath, which I understand are only half baths. Again, very small separate bathroom with folding glass shower screen (no soap holder or shelf), basin and toilet. Two hand and bath towels, which were not new or luxurious, but did the job and were changed every day. Sachets of soap and also shampoo, updated daily, were the only amenities. Everything was very clean.

Breakfast served from 7:00 am until 10:00 am if you required it, and was reasonable in scope. Fresh coffee and hot milk, water for tea, two types of juice in jugs, yoghurt (plain or fruit), bread and croissants with confiture or marmalade, boiled eggs, ham and cheese. Not bad for the price, even if the little room off the lobby wasn't very swanky.

I used the free wi-fi and there was a little laptop in the reseption area for the use of guests.

We will definitely stay here again when in Paris. The neighbourhood is a real part of the city, complete with the bums outside the church and the wonderful patisserie up the street (always a line outside). Lots of places to eat and drink, as well as good food shops and a supermarket. The bar run by a Moroccan across the street from the supermarket is a real find. I could see that having windows open in the summer might be a problem, as the bar scene downstairs can be a bit rowdy, but I guess that's what ear plugs are for.

I chose this hotel for our 3 night stayin Paris based on the revies on Tripadvisor, the fact that the hotel is priced affordably within Paris city and also because it is situated right by a metro stop.

I think we had the smallest room in the hotel, but it was clean. We only wanted a place to crash after wondering around Paris all day, and this was definitely one. The bathroom was tiny and stinky in the morning (this is something we experienced at other places in France, as well).

The neighborhood is very ethnic and there's not much to do. There are several bakeries and fruit shops. The bar right by the hotel smells like urine when you walk by it. Well, unfortunately many places smell like that in Paris, which is a shame.
