Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Location was perfect, interesting neighborhood to walk around, and very close walk to two Metro lines, providing easy access to all sights everyone wants to see in Paris.
Neighborhood felt safe and was close to eateries, bakeries, markets, restaurants and groceries. Be advised, it is in the middle of a very gay-friendly neighborhood. We discovered after we arrived that across the street is a well-known gay strip club, and there are various other gay establishments in the area. If you find that offensive, you may want to look elsewhere.
The hotel itself is a really interesting old structure... a bit of a maze of stairs and hallways. No elevator for those who need it... we loved it! Be warned, the most cost-effective room (aka cheapest) room is tiny... very very tiny, but clean and adequate for those on a budget. We were upgraded to a larger room when there was an issue with the bathroom light fixture. It was quite nice.
The staff was friendly and helpful, though not all speak English very well. We aren't morning folks, so we didn't try the breakfast. However, they offerred complimentary access 24 hours to their espresso & hot cocoa machine.
Would definitely stay in this hotel again. It was perfect.
