This hotel is affordable, clean, friendly and a great option for those travelling on a budget or coming from Canada where the euro is so high compared to CAD$. We purchased Navigo Decouverte pass at the airport and travelled so easily to all the tourist attractions by metro from Place d’Italie metro station, 3 minutes from the hotel. We found a few good restaurants in the area to dine at after long days of touring. Fiona, the manager was very helpful making restaurant suggestions. We highly recommend this hotel if you don’t want to be in the heart of Paris.

“Hotel and staff ****”

First of all you have to think what you get for the money you pay there. You get a lot! All the staff is welcoming and helpful. I felt very welcomed, so no experience as some guests wrote before me.

First of all you have to think what you get for the money you pay there. You get a lot! All the staff is welcoming and helpful. I felt very welcomed, so no experience as some guests wrote before me. Especially lady Samia is devoting all to her job. As a receptionist myself I admire how she manages solo (her colleagues also) for handling so many things, working with so many guests. For more than 60 rooms hotel there are usually two receptions on duty. Imagine that! Be sure that it is not easy task and anyone can be exhausted from such a pressure of check-in/check-outs plus requests, demands. In the whole - brilliant, exceptional hotel with first class staff! There is everything you need for breakfast, although it may seem as a small area. We surely will come back!

“Modern, Clean well situated hotel ”

Overall good and modern hotel. Rooms were clean and also smelt fresh. The room was fitted with AC however this didn't work at all. You could turn the panel on but nothing would happen. As it was around 16c we didn't need this. Windows did open, the main road can be quite noisy but the windows are... more

Overall good and modern hotel. Rooms were clean and also smelt fresh. The room was fitted with AC however this didn't work at all. You could turn the panel on but nothing would happen. As it was around 16c we didn't need this. Windows did open, the main road can be quite noisy but the windows are very good at preventing outside noise. Situated very well right next to the Metro, some nice Cafes close by. When you check-in there is a slightly misleading sign that shows a picture of a cocktail and says if you opt out of room service you can have a free drink. I did request this however the free drink is only a soft drink! Still good for free as we were only staying 2 nights. But if you stay longer the free soft drink isn't worth it! Staff were all friendly every time we interacted with them. I would recommend staying here on a short break! Nothing really to fault.

“Budget hotel with a great location”

We arrived at the end of the afternoon, the hotel didn't seem full or busy. The lady at reception on the first day wasn't really friendly, the lady at checkout on the last day was very friendly, so I think it depends who is at reception to give the first impression. We had a family room, which ... more

We arrived at the end of the afternoon, the hotel didn't seem full or busy. The lady at reception on the first day wasn't really friendly, the lady at checkout on the last day was very friendly, so I think it depends who is at reception to give the first impression. We had a family room, which was nice as you get 2 proper rooms. For this price in Paris it isn't easy to find. The rooms and hallways are carpeted. It seems clean at first, but I'm the type that brings Dettol wipes everywhere and they turned black. The furniture and doors seem clean at first, but upon inspection you'll see they're worn, a bit dirty, but I didn't expect much seeing the reviews where both good and bad. It is a budget hotel, nothing special, just a simple place to stay and sleep as you'll be out and about the whole day. So for us this was OK, but think we'll look for something else next time. They had an safe in the rooms, but no fridge. The first night there was a dirty towel in the bathroom, the other towels seemed OK, but one had a hair on it and also found a hair in the bath. The floor wasn't clean, but we always take slippers with us to hotels. We also found a dirty pillow on my daughters bed, luckily they provide extra in the closet, so we just swapped it ourselves. The chairs had stains on them. The bedsheets seem clean, but didn't really seem to fit, also the beds gave me a backache. One room had a window street side, so that can be noisy. I also heard the underground faintly when I'm in the bathroom. It is not soundproof as we also heard the neighbours and housekeeping in the morning, so you'll need earplugs if you're a light sleeper. The door in between the rooms was really heavy, so we didn't let the kids sleep alone in the other room, didn't feel safe that they could lock themselves in. The outside door doesn't have a peephole and one of the lights in the corridor stays on all the time, it even has a sensor, so when the neighbours walk passed, 2 extra lights go on. One room had a walk-in shower (the floor was creaky), the other had a bath. The glass didn't seem to keep the water out in both bathrooms, so poor design I guess. They provide soap in dispensers, there is no hair conditioner or body lotion. Housekeeping once left a roll of binliners and the other time they left a dirty sponge. They do come everyday and change the towels, but not the bedsheets (that's OK, we stayed 4 nights). They never hoovered the 4 nights we stayed (I have a way to tell). Every room has a small kettle for tea, but the cups are paper cups, they only provide instant coffee. One night there was a weed smell in the corridor to the elevators. I read that in another review, so might be the staff smoking... We didn't have breakfast there. The only good thing why one could consider this hotel is the location. It's right at Place d'Italie, with the mall opposite the street and the metro also right in front. You can take lines 5, 6 and 7 and it felt very convenient. We loved the Avenue d'Italie and Avenue de Choisy as that is Chinatown with loads of good food. Would like to stay in the same location next time, just maybe another hotel for us.
