I only stay at this hotel when I am in Paris, and when I'm there, it's my home. Comfy rooms, really good location, not too loud and 24 hour entry. Only having two showers in the hotel is okay if you shower at night, the first floor shower is better as the second floor has a timer on it. Lots of hot water to soothe your muscles after a full day of walking around the city! This trip I stayed in room 43, and the bed was broken, springs sticking out everywhere and made for an uncomfortable stay.

I liked being so close to two major metro lines. It was very easy to get anywhere I needed to be. The walls are very thin, but everyone was courteous of each other at night.

not the most ideal location however it is on line 4 which is a very good line as it passes through the center of paris into the most touristic spots. the owner is nice however the cleaning staff are exceptionally rude and will wake you up at absolute latest 9.30am. great value for money however the atmosphere is very dull. if i was on a budget hotel again then i would return to the hotel no worries!

This is not a hostel or hotel, but rather a "Pension": there are no common areas, which is a downer if you're solo. The only two showers are on floors 1 and 2, so you must use the elevator to use them. I was there for five days in the winter, and the heat in my room was never on.. Finally, the beds are the worst I have ever slept on. Still, I would recommend because of good location (50m from M4 Simplon) and low price. Just set your expectations very low and you won't be disappointed.

It was my 3rd stay in this hotel and I was not dissapointed this time either. I'm sure,when I go to Paris next time,I'll stay there as well.

A narrow "hostel" without anyother facilites except small badrooms. One toilet for one floor. If you are located in higher stairs, care the aged wooden floor which makes a bzzzzzzzz at every step you take. Low ratio quality/price. To be honest, the worst hostel I have ever seen. I moved out only after two nights.

Narrow hostel and small bedroom !! But you had a lot of space to sleep at 4 people while you have booked a room for 2 persons. Because that is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH; You have a lot of space to put another double bed inflatable for 2 others persons, taking care to hide and not to leave or return together 4 at the hotel like that we don't remark you. And when we told you it's forbidden to stay 4 in a room provided and we can affect you one room for 4 people paying a supplement, you didn't like and you didn't want ! You prefer to book a room for 2 people €19,50 and discreetly you stay 4 in the same room for €9,75 per person !! You left because we found your cheating and for do the same shot in another hotel. You are dishonest people, cheats people and we hope not to have customers like you.

Well the only irritating thing was the cleaner who knocked to our doors every morning at 9 am waking us up. That was the only thing which i clearly disliked. Everything else is perfect for a budget travel.

Shouldnt expect a fancy thing cause its not. But it was clean, and decent linen. Drawer kinda s****y, though. Lights burnt and had to use reading ones. Not a top location but decent and close to Paris ultra reliable metro system. Most of all, it was cheap. Excelente value for money in an expensive city like Paris.

Bad ratio of quality per the money paid. Staff refused to take into account the 10% amount paid via Hostelworld. So we paid the whole sum on pur arrival.

Miss Shpartko, you have booked a double room (shared bathroom) for 39 euros per night So for 3 nights: € 39 x 3 = 117 euros. you have a city tax of 0,45 € / person x 2 x 3 nights = 2.70€ The amount of your stay: 117 € + € 2.70 = 119.70 euros. you have paid a deposit of 10% for hostelworld,so 10% of € 117 = € 11.70. The balance due is: € 117 - 11.70 = 105.30 € + 2,70 € (city tax) = 108 euros How much did you pay at the hotel? you paid 108 euros So the amount of 10% that you paid for hostelworld webresint has been taken into account contrary to what you say!

Overall the Hotel was good. Its location few steps away from the metro line 4 is definitly an advantage. What I found very inconvinient was the fact that the bathroom and the toilet were very cold. Also in the way to our room (7) the corridor which gives access to rooms 6, 7 had a very bad smell as if there was a duct from a kitchen or so, this needs to be improved definitively.

During my stay I didn't have any problems! Really nice location. I just have one suggestion, the staff could be nicer! I don't know why in my room always smelled like food and all my clothes stay with that smell.

The worst thing in this hotel is that there are only 2 showers for all rooms! Additional is that they are opened only from 7 to 10 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. It's mistunderstanding!

Owner Comment (Show)
miss Jozwiak, it must not tell lies. the showers aren't open from 7 to 10 am and from 7 to 10 pm as you say it. but from 7am to 12pm and 6am to 11pm as it is mentioned on shower doors and generally overnight and it is not for all the rooms but for the few rooms without shower rooms. there are closed between 12 and 18 h in the afternoon for cleaning; try to understand that you have made a booking for the cheapest room with shared shower, you have free showers available. Now if you want a little more comfort with a shower available 24h on 24h and toilet why not pay a few euros more, as do other customers. Regards the manager

Rooms are somewhat clean, windows don't shield the nois from outside very good. Because of it's good location the hotel is perfect if you spend your whole day out in the city and go there just for the night.

it's basic.... but for everyone who cannot pay the very very high rates in paris, it's an absolute paradies.... it's is not located in downtown, but the metro is less then a minute away and takes you to everywhere... by the way monmatre (where the hotel is located) is a very nice area too and has also his tourist attractions.... everything was very very okay there.... i can recommend it

For sure the worst hotel I've ever seen in my life. When we arrived,the room wasn't clean so we asked the receptionist to send the cleaning woman. In the evening, when we came back, the room stank and we found some hairs under the bedspread and a bad smell of smoke on the pillows, sheets and towels too At 9:15 AM someone knocked badly our door for 3 times in 30 mins to clean the room (the check out was at 12:00) Rude staff, bad district, only 2 showers for 6 floors Absolutely not recommended

Owner Comment (Show)
Mr Fabio Serra, you have arrived on January 4, in the morning and you say :"when we arrived ,the room was not clean". necessarily because you have arrived early and your room was not ready yet, since there 'were other guests who had just left. You room has been made, the sheets are new, you have clean towels upon your return you will smell of smoke; we are sorry, the hotel is no smoking and we can't control customers who smoke in their room.* I note that you had the room n° 43,a beautiful and a quiet room (€22/pers) with shared bathroom. your room is cleaned daily and towels are changed daily. you have an elevator; the shower is free, Wifi is free, luggage storage free... For 22 euros per person per night !! If you want more services, why you don't take for a few euros more a room all inclusive ? Finally, i found especially how is your education when you have torn the matress with a knife when you are gone !! The manager.

I was very happy with the hotel.It is more or less what I expected.Very clean compared to the comments I read about the hotel.The area is very good because it is basically in Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur is within 10 minutes of walking distance, if not closer. I appreciated the place overall and I would definitely come back for another stay here.Of course, a person who expects luxury wouldn't come here, so the bad comments are made by people with high expectations when really they shouldn't.
