This place is centrally located in more of a locals environment. Trains station is a 3 minute walk. Grocery stores and mall are conveniently around the corner as well as restaurants, Patisserie's and fast food (if you're into that stuff when you travel). Checkin was easy and they did speak English. Our room was on the 4th floor. Everything is pretty quiet at night once everything closes down. We had no problems sleeping. Our Room: We had 2 twin beds, a table to eat at, a decent closet, a small utility kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, a small dishwasher, a sink with all the little necessities to function. I loved that the window opened for fresh air. There are plugs on each side of the bed for charging as well as at the table where there is a wall mounted 32" tv. The beds and sheets were comfortable (it's been a while since I've slept on a twin). The room was clean, in good shape and a good price. Our Bathroom: There is a wall heater if needed for towels, there are 2 drawers to accommodate towels, a small blowdryer, they supply bottles of shampoo, shower gel, and hand soap. A shower over tub which is decent size and a retractable laundry cord. The Lobby: Coffee maker available also a filtered water dispenser that has sparkling water which caught me a lil off guard. There's a utility room that you have access to where linen, toilet paper and any other replacement items you may need for your stay. The utility room does require key access. They have a buffet available for a minimal uncharge; coffee, pastries, hardboiled eggs, toast, the usual fair. Nothing fancy like a pool or anything but definitely a place I would consider when coming back.

“Location is great - Average hotel overall”

Check in was closer to 4, although they did allow us to store our luggage because we got in about 11am. We walked around a bit and grabbed some lunch but was glad to be able to get in our room and shower and relax a bit after a long overnight flight.

Check in was closer to 4, although they did allow us to store our luggage because we got in about 11am. We walked around a bit and grabbed some lunch but was glad to be able to get in our room and shower and relax a bit after a long overnight flight. The taxi rate was $65 from the airport to the hotel. I like list so here we go: Pros: 1)Room was clean - comfy bed 2)Staff cordial and professional 3)Coffee and tea in lobby was free 4)Store luggage for convenience if arrive early and want to explore before checking 5)Small kitchenette area equipped with microwave , two pilot burner, refrigerator, basic kitchen supplies. 6)location was good- metro right across the street, lots of restaurants and cafes within walking distance; mall underneath with grocery store 7) room equipped with iron/ironing board , safe 8) laundry area available (I did not use it) 9) we had 4th floor street view- it was nice and it was quiet overall Cons: 1) Breakfast was subpar - pastry, bread, watered down eggs, yogurt, ham, sausage, some fruit but not a lot of variety 2) no wash cloths - only hand towels and very thin, small sized towels for bath 3) towels were “self service” located in a room next to elevators by check in area- replenish your own 4) housekeeping only if your stay is longer than 6 days so clean up after yourself on vacation lol (there was a broom in the room ). 5) had to ask for more trash bags - trash receptor room available on your floor for your convenience (again clean up after yourself) 6)the tub had a high step in and it was difficult to not soak the floor because the shower door only went half way . It was also very SLIPPERY in the tub after lathering up with soap . Had to utilize hand bars to navigate safely 7) window curtains were stained with brown substances - not sure what it was but it was quite a bit and very noticeable. 8) room was smaller than average- maybe ok for just two people but could see it being crammed with any more than that. 9) hotel didn’t share a lot of information about the area or recommendations unless inquired specifically. I think they had a binder but it was off in a corner - not noticeable unless you looked for it. 10) I didn’t find the workers to be “friendly” (although professional) but greetings when coming and going would have been a nice welcoming gesture. If I didn’t say it first it didn’t happen . 11) if you want to take advantage of the free coffee you can carry your cup from your room downstairs and walk back very carefully with the hot beverage while getting back to your room using the lift (what would it take to go a step further and offer guest paper cups at service station?) Overall, it served the purpose for this trip. It was our first time in Paris. If we came back we probably would choose another hotel, especially if we were extending our stay longer than five days.

“Sub par”

This hotel has a high volume of guaranteed guests due to it being I. Paris, and it shows.

This hotel has a high volume of guaranteed guests due to it being I. Paris, and it shows. The complimentary coffee station has no cups near to it meaning it’s almost entirely useless unless you’re unlucky enough to be on the first floor. Or unless you like taking cups out of your apartment to fill them then ring the lift with hot liquid. Not enough pillows provided in the rooms. If you ask for more you’re told it is impossible to provide extra pillows (really?). Dishwasher in rooms without a complimentary tablet so useless. Poor quality soundproofing on windows so you can hear the terrible but enthusiastic Africa beat busker who turns up at about 5pm. Toilet didn’t work properly. Generally just not that great.
