Perfectly located between 2 metro stations and about 10min walk to the Eiffel Tower. The rooms are very small, but clean and comfortable, and with such little time spent in them, there really is no need for more space. The bathroom was clean too, with a hot, powerful shower.
The reception staff were friendly and helpful.
We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel so can't comment on the food, but found that the nearby cafes offered very nice and very reasonably priced breakfasts.
Overall, the perfect base for a weekend trip to Paris.

Clean little hotel close to sights and well maintained. Price is good and access is great. They will charge you for the included "breakfast" though.
Staff is friendly and the rooms are very nice

My friend and I stayed at this hotel and were very impressed by the room and especially its location. Clean good-sized room with lovely bathroom (excellent easy 2 use shower!) and welcoming and very helpful staff. The hotel is situated only 1/2 minute away from a 3-line metro station which made it extremely easy to travel around paris and see all the sights. The hotel is also just 10 mins away from the Eiffel tower and has lots of shops/cafes on the same road - i would definately stay at this hotel again. Its location is unbeatable!
Very Good Stay

I have to say that I absolutly loved the location of this hotel. With 3 Metro Lines 50 meters away it made it easy to get around Paris, (and the metro is the way to travel in Paris) There is a good selection of Restaurants around and lots of little shops just down the street.
I found the staff extremely friendly and knowledgable. Check in and Check out where very easy.
The room was small, but clean. Same with the bathrooms. They where doing renos when I was there, so the hotel it self is well maintained. The bathroom was also small, but clean and they have an excellent shower. Room was always clean by the time I got back to it in the afternoon, fresh sheets, towels ect...
I would recomend this hotel for anyone travelling alone as I felt very safe in the hotel and didn't hesitate to take a walk at night. I also think it's a good place for young couples or for a trip with friends. The rooms are a little noisy, so not recomended for light sleepers.
Overall a great experience.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here in June last year for my birthday, first time abroad for me.
First off I am glad I booked Paris Shuttle to get us from the airport to our hotel, we simply rang the shuttle company as told in an e-mail at a freephone number from the airport and they arrived within about 20 minutes. There were other people also using the shuttle, the other couple were dropped off first then us. We got straight to the hotel and as we'd already paid online it was very easy and would use their service again.
One there we got checked in straight away, the reception seemed nice and tidy with lots of leaflets and newspapers from around the world. The lift was rather small, we only had 2 big suitcases but my boyfriend had to walk up the stairs while I squashed in with the cases, but we were only one floor up. There was a small 'square' with 2 other doors directly opposite and next to our room, and the room was also small. I had read up beforehand and knew Parisian hotel rooms were known to be small, but it was still quite a shock for us. In the coming days we learnt our room was the smallest on the floor, every other room had a small sofa in it, ours didn't it was too small for that.
We learnt very quickly that the walls are NOT soundproof as stated on the website we booked from. We could hear a couple next door talking, could hear every word they were saying actually. However they must have left that same day as it was completely quiet until our last day when some young american girls came and were giggling loudly at the French TV channels and talking excitedly at each other, glad we went home the next day! You can hear other rooms flushing the toilets through the night as well. However, the room had a TV and a desk with a mini bar underneath, prices weren't too bad for it either, the wardrobe was small but we fit everything in, there was a safe at the bottom which you put your own code into. The bed was ok, didn't think too much of the blankets though. The bathroom was tiny, I fit in fine enough but my 6ft 3 boyfriend looked a bit funny to say the least.
Everyday we'd come back and our room had been serviced, bed made, fresh towels and mini bar topped up.
Despite being a bit disappointed at the small room, our breakfast was included (we booked through Thomson holiday's website) we were worried after reading reviews on here about whether we'd be paying or not. The breakfast was nice, there were crossiants and bread buns, lots of spreads, tea and coffee, juice and there were yogurts however they ended up being a bit frozen! The breakfast was also down in the basement, seemed a bit miserable without any windows or anything. There were newspapers everyday, and lots of them around the reception area so they never ran out.
The 'courtyard view' was laughable, you could basically see a white wall, if you leaned out the window and looked down you could see a small square at the bottom which had a potted plant and some bikes in it. However I prefered having this window out the back considering the walls weren't sound proof.
Onto the location... so the hotel wasn't too great, but the location was, and I think that's why you pay the price you do for this hotel. Straight out of the door and your into the hustle and bustle of the city. Over the road was a supermarket type place, it sold clothes and everything downstairs, along with a bakery, and upstairs was the main supermarket. A good tip is to get bottled water from here as it was cheap, once you get into the touristy places it was quite expensive for a bottle of water! A few doors down was a chinese takeaway which we ordered take out from last night, then a restaurant which we ate at one night and was quite nice. On the corner is a cafe, and a stall outside which sells crepes and they were lovely! The man who made them started to recognise us. There is also a McDonalds over the road to the supermarket which we joked about on arrival, however we were so tired on the first day and couldn't be bothered with a restaurant and ended up in there! There was a restaurant on a corner on the walk to the Effiel Tower which we ate at on our last evening, unfortunately I can't remember the name but it was lovely and had an English menu too, although it was very busy.
It was only a 10 minute walk to the Effiel Tower which was great, so we'd have a walk along there in the evening.
There are also 2 metro stations extremely close to the hotel, one along to the right and one round the corner to the left, however during our stay one line was closed which was a bit disappointing as it was a line which went to quite touristy places!
On the Wednesday morning a market had appeared under the train line all the way along the road, we had a quick look along there.
One of the only things I really hated about Paris were the amount of street sellers, the ones who sell small flashy light toys of the Effiel Tower or the women who held postcards up to you with some ling winded fake story and begging for money (we seen them meeting up in a quiet corner near the public toilets for a cigarette and discussing how much money they'd made, was quite sickening!) or the man who kept thrusting roses into my hands trying to get us to buy one, these sellers got very annoying and we just wanted to be left along. After coming down from the Effiel tower one evening they'd all crowded around the exit and we had about 10 men waving these toy towers in our faces, we had to literally fight through them!
On check out from the hotel we were waiting for our shuttle and the receptionist rang to ask where abouts it was and when it will arrive which was nice. Again the shuttle was hassle free and we got to the airport in plenty of time.
Overall this hotel was in a good location, but I probably would not go back there.
