Wonderful, in one word! Cheap (@ 60 Euros for the double room (with a bunk bed, much to the delight of the kid) and breakfast at 4.7 Euros), well located (500 m/ 5 min walk from Porte D’Italie Metro/Tram and Bus stations and basic, it is for the family/ individual traveler who doesn’t plan to hang around and enjoy the hotel ambience for long. Have your breakfast after a good night’s sleep, check your mails on the free wifi in the room and you are fresh and ready to explore the wonders of Paris all over again. The courteous and smiling staff add to the experience. The breakfast isn’t 4-star, but then, in Europe, getting 2 types of bread, cake, juices, hot beverages, yoghurt, butter and jam for 4.7 bucks isn’t quite a reality otherwise! And thanks to the wonderful (but a tad expensive, if you don’t earn in Euros!) connectivity in Paris, no destination is more than a maximum of an hour away (the farthest being the CDG Airport or Disneyland). Just keep the coins ready for the tram/ RER tickets, because you may well have to buy them from the vending machines at most RER stations and at all tram stations. Highly recommended for all types of travelers except those for whom the idea is to hang around by the poolside, bar, gym or sauna, since this place has none of those features, but sheer money-saving and much needed comfort after a hectic day of sightseeing in Paris.
