First of all, I have to say that the staff at this hotel is a 10 out of 10. This was the first hotel that we stayed at as part of a longer trip in Europe. The front desk staff was so friendly, accommodating, and very welcoming. We did not speak the native language, and although there was a language barrier, they made our entire check-in process and entire stay so easy. The room was very small, which is normal in this area, but the room and view were wonderful. There is an elevator available after you make it to the floor that the front desk is on, but beware that it’s not easy to get all of your suitcases up the first flight and a half of stairs before the elevator so if you were staying here, you may wanna pack lightly

Good price, uncomfortable atmosphere

Overall it was a good location in Paris and not a bad price. However, the room is VERY small and you do have to carry you bags up a set of stairs. We noticed half of the saff was very helpful while the other half felt like they were mocking us for our terrible french.

The property itself is a bit sketchy but for 1 or 2 nights, it's fine. The location is very good - during the day. The Denfert Rochereau station is directly in front of the property so convenience to the Metro is excellent. At night is a different story. I'm from New York so I'm not squeemish about homeless people or druggies walking around the street. However, the Hotel itself is in desperate need of an upgrade. The hallway to our room looked like something out of a horror movie and you're basically betting on something otherworldly jumping out at you right before entering the room. While the room itself was satisfactory and clean, it too can do for an upgrade. What I really DISLIKED the most of this Hotel was the fact that the moment you walk in, there's a huge, steep flight of stairs. If you have large luggage, I wish you the best of luck getting up the stairs with it in tow. I won't even mention the elevator at the top of said stairs to get to the rooms because as is customary in Europe, you can only fit 2 people with no luggage or take turns going up the elevator 1 person and 1 piece of luggage at a time. Another detail is that they lock the door of the hotel at night which is good for security but bad if G-d forbid there's a fire or if you plan to leave the hotel in the early morning like we did (we had a 5 am train to London). Our room had a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower so it made up for the setbacks. I would recommend but only for a 1-2 night stay.

Summer family vacation.

Very nice service and rooms We’re comfortable and clean. Bigger than most Paris rooms we’ve stayed in. Stayed for 3 nights during a heat wave. No AC but they provided fans. One room the fan was good; the other the fan wasn’t very strong. Noisy with windows open (which was needed this week) but quieter with them closed. Breakfast was basic but good. It was in a nice neighborhood with lots of restaurants, monoprix and a metro stop. Close to catacombs if you’re visiting that and an easy metro ride to other attractions. Would stay again but maybe not in summer unless booking close to trip to look at weather. FYI if you have mobility issues, while they have a lift to access the hotel there is still a flight of stairs. We enjoyed our stay!

Deceiving Information

The information about this hotel is not accurate. The lobby of this hotel is on the second floor and there is no elevator to get to the second floor but a narrow, curved and long staircase. If you are traveling with a heavy medium size luggage, you’re going to struggle going up the steps to just get to the lobby. And you have to do this every time you get in and out of the hotel. Even though it’s advertise a smoke free hotel, the lobby stinks of cigarette smell constantly. The elevator from the lobby to the other floors can only be used by one person at a time. There are no mini fridges or coffee makers in the less expensive rooms. And the view they advertise can only be viewed by one room on the top floor. At least the less expensive rooms are not carpeted and floors don’t look clean. Currently, there is construction on so scaffolding obstruct any view and there are loud noises starting at 8 am. No closet but a tiny area to hang 5 things. The showers leak out of the stall. One big PRO, the location is great. Easy access to train that goes to and from the airport. Steps only from a big metro line and supermarket and restaurants very close.

A bit too expensive for a veeeeery small room - I'm used to European hotel rooms but this was very very small, with barely room to walk around each side of the small bed, no fridge and a tv the size of a monitor. Not sure if this would work for 2 adults. I understand it was expensive because of the Olympics but we checked other hotels when we got there and there were plenty of other options. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the location is great, with access to shops and transport.

Great location, tiny room, thin walls, warm.

Great location and value in central Paris, just a stone's throw from the Catacombs. 30 min by train to more touristy spots like the Eiffel tower. You have to give up your room key every time you leave, which was a bit odd. No AC. Can't really keep the window open because of noise, and the fan is rigged so that you can only use the lowest setting. The built in hair dryer was broken, and I asked for a replacement. They said they would check into it and never brought one. A room adjacent to ours complained about noise and we were only talking in normal indoor voices. Thin walls, or an overly sensitive human, I don't know. Either way, nice cafes just across the way and not bad for a value stay for a couple days in Paris.

Some of the staff were really friendly, very polite and eager to help out. Breakfast was far more expensive than just going to local cafe or bakery for croissants. We had to ask repeatedly for more pillows (1 each isn’t enough!). Generally clean and the place was cleaned each day and fresh towels. The room was smaller than the pictures suggest, but the bed was very comfortable. Quite firm but just right for us. Wouldn’t recommend for someone over about 6’2” as doubt you’d fit on the toilet! Generally a very positive experience and the hotel feels safe with a 24-hour reception and double front doors and a lift. There is a narrow stairway to reception so not suitable for those with mobility issues. Thank you to the kind lady on reception who looked after our bags for a few hours on the final day.
