We paid 140 Euro for a room for 4 people including breakfast. Room was clean, functional, but basic. There was no A/C but the fan was welcome and the temperature was not a problem despite the hot weather in Paris that week. The breakfast was small but good. Location was the biggest plus for us- we wanted to be near Gare du Lyon. This was the main factor in deciding on this hotel for our last minute booking. We probably could have done better, but for a last-minute ( 1 week ahead of arrival) find, it was OK.

- Easy to find
- Close to Gare de Lyon
- Slightly unfriendly welcome but we were able to leave our bags there for the day
- Staircase leading up to rooms very dark and dingy
- Room OK but oddly decorated
- Bathroom very cramped and a bit mouldy
- Bed quite uncomfortable
- Very thin walls so very noisy resulting in a very bad night's sleep
- Didn't stay for breakfast but didn't look very appealing!

Stayed here for one night in May 2009, solo traveler on his way home from several weeks of touring Turkey and Balkans. Price for Paris, about 65 euro, is hard to beat. A very small room, pretty dark. I remember while climbing the narrow stairway thinkig that if there was a fire I would be in deep trouble.
Located in what felt like more of an alley than a real street. OK location. If you can afford better I would stay elsewhere.

Service: No complaints, staff were friendly enough. Wouldn't hurt to be a tad more accommodating to English speakers seeing as they run a hotel and all.

Room: No way were they two star rooms. looked like a renovation in progress in some parts. No control for the heating, woke up sweating the first night, slept with the window open from then on (which didnt help with the noise). Upon flushing the toilet the room would be filled with the smell of sewerage.

Beds were uncomfortable and the pillow had the faint smell of cigarettes. Whilst fluffing my pillow (which was like a loose bag of feathers) I had a small bug fall from it and crawl off my bed (gross)

Bathroom was dirtier than I'd keep my own (let alone a hotel bathroom) and the shower was ill designed and broken.

The location is fantastic. Right around the corner from Gare Du Lyon. nearby restaurants were reasonably priced and it was a short walk to the river, metro and Bastille. Free fast wifi was also a plus.

Dont bother with breakfast. Options and quantity is limited. Was expecting better coffee for a parisian hotel. Better off going to a local patisserie and buying a croissant there!
