We have stayed 2 more times and have a third reserved for September. The place is consistant. It's a clean and safe little hotel in a nice area. All staff we have encountered speak some english, funtional but not always conversational.
This is not the Ritz, but it doesn't claim to be. The rooms are small, the bathroom is tiny, but the price is right and it is conveniently located to the Metro and has many nearby food options. The Patisserie next door is to die for. Coofee at McD a block away.
We'll keep coming back.

We stayed in August 2010 for a 6 night stay in Paris, so was looking for a cheap budget accommodation option. The room was basic with a small but functional and clean bathroom. Our room was facing on to the street, which meant a fair bit of street noise, even with the windows shut. I recommend asking for a room on the other side.

The location of the hotel is good. Right near a Metro station so very easy to get around. There are a few restaurants around as well as a shopping centre nearby with a supermarket (Carrefour) for any essentials. We didn't have the included breakfast, but went to a cafe up the road for delicious pastries instead. Also happened upon a weekend market one morning, full of wonderful food to try.

A good buget option, considering how expensive places to stay are in Paris.

The hotel service is really unrecommended. The recepsionist is unfriendly, and they are unresponsibble. When we get back to the hotel, the window in our rooms are open and seems like someone smoke in our room. When we complaint, the recepsionist only answer "I don't know". We ask for not cleaning the room for the day after but they still enter our room. The room is to small and not nice at all, different from the picture. One of the recepsionist staff even cannot speaking in English. They said there are no transportation to reach the nearest station to go to airport at midnight and we have to go by Taxi, where the truth is we can go by bus eventough is is late.

I had read reviews previously on this place stating that the rooms were tiny and the bathroom was less than accommodating - however I can say my stay was fantastic. For a fairly central location at €70 a night is brilliant. I had looked at alternatives, and for the same price (sometimes more) the rooms were not even ensuite, and travelling on a budget, could not afford €180 hotels. We were greeted by the receptionist who spoke fluent English - phew! And directed to our room on the top floor - room
634, via the tiny lift! The room is not overly spacious, but clean and modest. The bathroom was divided with toilet and sink in one room to the left, shower to the right - as the exterior of the hotel slopes this is reflected in the shower room, narrower at your head! There was a flat screen tv in the room and a safe. The room faced onto the road so you could hear the road noise a little, not helped by the hot nights so had to have the window open, but not a problem at all. Breakfast was €6 but we didn't have if and opted for breakfast en route. Lots of restaurants locally, En Italie was lovely, reasonable prices (pizza for less than €10 - UK prices!) and lots of supermarkets nearby where we bought packed lunches - head towards Les Gobelins for more choice of shops. Place d'Italie metro very closeby and McDonalds and KFC round corner if that is to your taste! Very enjoyable holiday :)
