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!
