Fairly good location. Hotel doesn't look great, actually it looks like it's falling apart. Surprisingly clean. Stayed for one night only.

The room was ok but for example we were in 4 and we had only to spot to recharge our phones and batteries and even these 2 of them were not completly working. So was annoying.

They gave us a smoking room (very smelly cause of that) and we had some ants in the bathroom. Besides that it's the best you can expect for this money in Paris.

It's a nice hotel. The staff received us well.It smells a little bit weird in the hotel, but iit's clean. It's on a very good location, very walkabale to the touristic things, and a lot of metros and restaurants close by. It's not a great hotel, but good for just one or two nights. What you pay is what you get.

It's a cheap hotel also respect to the others I have seen. My room was in avarage, it was clean but wasn't a double bedroom as I payed for but simply two beds joint. Employers are polite and the breakfast consist on: baguette and crossiant with butter and jam.

I woke up in the morning with bedbug bites all over. I live in New York City and have had plenty of times to worry and investigate what bedbug bites look like, and these were definitely it. I had to throw away my suitcase, clean all my clothes, etc, before I got home. Also, the wifi doesn't work in the rooms. Finally, the only door is locked FROM THE INSIDE during the night, so I had to get let out in the morning, but that is an incredible fire hazard.

The hotel was very easy to get to from the metro stop--it was less than a five minute walk! It was definitely overpriced and no one was at the desk after 2 am, making it difficult to stay out late. The pictures are somewhat inaccurate.. or at least maybe the rooms on the top floor are different than the rest of them. It wasn't a complete dump but definitely not the best place to stay.

It was definitely nice to have our own room at the same rate, if not lower than most dorm-room style hostels in the area. We got our own bathroom and there was even a TV in the room! It was like a 5 minute walk from a lot of places to eat and two metro stations. The free breakfast with coffee/tea and croissants in the morning was nice to have too. I would definitely recommend for anyone who is used to hostel life!

The hotel is two stars and is not bad for the price and location (Is 15 minutes walk from place de la Bastille) There is a little supermarket 50 meters near. A very bad thing is that I found the first day in my bed four bed bugs (in spanish "Chinches") . Wifi is on from 7 am to 2 am.
