Pleasantly surprised after reading some scathing reviews. Amazing what some people expect of a budget hotel! Its old and the décor is tired but it was clean and comfortable and well located and if you want to stay in your room all day go to the Hilton! Room was bigger than many weve stayed in Comfortable bed Big opening windows... More

Great quiet location - 1 block from Jusseau and Cardinal Lemoine metros. Choice of 2 restaurants on crossroads with other budget / student eateries nearby. Plus cabaret Paradiz Latin nearby. Short walk from Seine (Notre Dame and Pont de Sully). Area feels safe after dusk. Good value for money given location in a major capital city. Room was clean, functional... More

The hotel is centrally located which is good but the hotel is noisy, there was no hot water and the member of staff we met when we checked in was friendly but not when we left - maybe she was having a bad day!

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in December. Friendly and helpful staff, and situated close to train station, which made it very easy to commute from place to place. It was winter but the room was comfortable and warm. would definitely go back to this hotel if in Paris.

My family and I stayed at this hotel in early December 2012 and although the hotel is fairly old it was still very comfortable. The location is very central with lots of reasonably priced eateries in the area. It is also extremely close to the Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Luxembourg Gardens and many others. We enjoyed our stay in... More

I stayed at this hotel because my usual favorite Paris hotel was fully booked. From now on this is my new favorite hotel. It was half the price and still in a fantastic location (close to Boulevard St Germain). It is a 5 minute walk to Notre Dame. There are numerous Metro stops very close. Plus an open air market...

This hotel was great! We went for 3 nights, and although the room was small it was extremely comfortable and well equipped. The hotel is sat on a main road, and the excellent double glazing meant there was no traffic noise. If you're interested in the TV, their 'magic box' has numerous different channels in different languages. There is also... More
