“Hotel? It felt like a backpacker hostel to me.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

If you are traveling to Paris on a budget, this is a decent place to stay. There are many establishments that call themselves hotels that should actually be classified as hostels, this is one of those establishments.

Minimal blankets and no extra pillows (one long, thin pillow on the bed). Saw a mouse run across our room at one point. No toilets in the rooms, they are in the sprial stairway. Keys are left at the front desk when you leave and some of the front desk clerks do not speak English. It helps to be able to speak French in France! No elevator.

The hostel is close to the Pompidou Center and near Notre Dame as well. There are a few Metro stations within a close walk. A lot of shopping and dining close to the hotel as well as a few seedy places of business. You can leave you bags at the front desk when you check out to pick up later.

Good hostel for backpackers or young couples on a tight budget. I will look a little harder for something a little nicer the next time I'm in Paris.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a street view.

“Most horrible place to stay, if you value your holiday - keep away!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

The staff just don't care when you asked them for something. The rooms smell like somebody's feet, the furniture is from 1950s. I would NOT stay there if they payed me money to be honest.
If you don't want to spoil your holiday then please please avoid this place like a plague.

Dare i say those positive reviews must have been written mostly by the staff themselves.

“Disrespectful, ignorant employees!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

The receptionist was very unfriendly, he let me wait for a long time and he would not even watch my bags for 2 minutes. When I asked for someone to help me carry my heavy suitcases to the 6th(!) floor, he said no.
I decided not to stay there because of the way I was treated. However, they booked 100euro from my creditcard!

“Lots of better hotels elsewhere”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011 via mobile

The location of this hotel was really good and we didn't expect much for a 1 star hotel but after checking out we ended up staying at two other hotels which were much cheaper and nicer.
You have to pay 2.50 everytime you want a shower and the toilets are situated on the starcase between the floor levels.
The rooms are small but enough for two people. Not the cleanest place as we found a condom under the bed!

“Loved it, but not for everyone”

This is not a luxury hotel. Rooms are adequate size for a couple, very clean, staff extremely friendly and helpful. No actual bathroom in guest rooms, only a bidet. Shower down the hall.This is a hotel for people who want to see Paris and not spend a fortune on extras. Would stay there again in an instant.
