It would be nice if you could have breakfast until 10 AM. Otherwise it was a verry good and relaxing vacation.

Kind and helpful staff. The bed was bad, it was sinking a lot in the middel. The room was pretty clean (there was some black spots on the top of the walls, it looked a lit like swamp, but else it was good), and the location is perfect. We had a good stay, and we got what we expected.

The beds were quite dirty and also the blankets and it was uncomfortable to sleep in a bed like that.

Not possible to pay the missing amount by credit card. Keep this in mind and take enough money with you! Value for money was absolutely okay. Breakfast included among other things tasty croissants and a big pot of coffee, tea or chocolate. Room was average but fully satisfying for the price. Location is great, when you arrive by train (Gare du Nord only 10 minutes away). Besides it's submontane Sacre Coeur and Montmatre. Only staff was unfriendly and not very welcoming.

The location is really nice- just near Sacre Coeur and the metro. There is a lot of places around to buy-to eat- to get souvenirs etc. Breakfast was not a lot but nice. The stuff was also cool. Rooms are a bit small but we didnt care and the heating was really nice. Shortly, for the price it deserves a high rating.

A very good hotel, really near to the subway and the train station Gare de Nord. Also near to the Sacre Coeur! The room was small, but it is always like that in Paris, but it was quite beautiful.

The Metro is so close! That was very convenient. Also, there are several restaurants within yards of the hostel. Not a bad choice at all. I would stay there again.

Staff could be friendlier and more willing to help. Rooms are small, but cosy, and actually was more than enough for my and my girlfried. Would go there again.

Did the job exactly as we wanted. Good, clean room in a great location and a reasonable price. Very easy access from the Gare du Nord and within a short walk of Montmartre as well as a number of metro stations. No probs!

Everything was quite ok, but we expected something more for breakfast, as we got everywhere in Germany, for example. In Gerando it was everyday the same just tea or coffee, a glass of orrange juice, a croissant, small piece of butter and jam and some bread. No cheese, no eggs, no wurst or sausage. We wish the breakfast was more substantial. And one more detail is that bed sheets should be a bit better washed. In general the hotel was reaaly good for this price. Thank you.

Dodgy, oders and very unhelpful. Breakfast consisted of a small roll, a croissant and a hot chocolate. If it is not a last minute booking look for better.

The Hotel is very good located, clean and with a very helpful and friendly staff. the only "strange" inconvenience was the neibourhood......was little embarassing to have every night in front of our window a naked guy.......
