Positive Reviews
positive:
Cheap price and central location
Visiting Paris is very expensive and not always for people that travel frugally, however, this hotel will give you the chance to stay in a popular area that is full of restaurants, cafes and bars, yet is also near some of the major attractions in the city.
positive:
Near public transportation
If you are keen on using public transportation, you will have three metro options within a five-minute walk from your accommodation. One line offers direct trains to the opera, Galeries Lafayette, the Louvre, and the Latin Quarter. The other line goes directly to Saint-Germain des Prés, Orsay and Place de la Concorde. The last line leads to the Arc de Triomphe and Gare du Nord, or if you'd like, you can walk to the Eurostar train station in only ten minutes.
positive:
Fine place for a short stay
If you are in Paris for a short time and plan on spending the majority of your time outside of the hotel, this place might be just right.
Negative Reviews
negative:
The showers need fixing
Previous guests were satisfied with the cleanliness of the rooms and the comfort of the beds, likewise, they thought that the bathrooms were clean but the showers were a problem. Since there is no shower curtain, the water tends to go everywhere and the temperature is on the colder side.
negative:
Staff and management are unprofessional
Although some guests have said that the staff were helpful, there have been reports that the staff are rude and have at times even yelled at the guests.
negative:
The breakfast is not perfect
While some guests did like the breakfast, others thought that it was just ok and they preferred pastries from nearby bakeries.
