Having stayed here before and found the hotel and location excellent we decided to book another short stay yet this time it did not live up to my expectations.

The room was small (which we expected and suited us) and the view was not spectacular (again something that didn't bother us as this was just a place to sleep). The positives about this hotel are that it is in a quiet location, clean and suitable for a short stay. However bewarned that there is a an additional charge for use of the kitchenette (cooker + microwave) which is obscurely marked on the back of the room door.

Bathroom
- small and in need of some TLC, particularly grout around one loose tile.

Breakfast
- didn't feel that the breakfast justified spending 13 euros so we got breakfast food/croissants locally instead. There are also local restuarants/cafes who offer a english/continental breakfast for 8.50 euros.

Nighttime
- the bed was too hard for me. Waking with a stiff back and bruised hip each morning was far from ideal.
- the room was far too hot...then later too cold so several times I woke to cool down/warm up.
- there was a regular clanking in our room during the night, perhaps related to the hot water system

Staff
- twice there was no one on reception so we had to wait for our keys
- a member of staff was rude when my husband couldn't find where they had put our case on departure day. It turned out that the case hadn't been put where it should have been but no apology was made.

Really didn't want to be critical of this hotel as we have stayed there previously and enjoyed our stay. Not really sure why our stay was so markedly different to previous, perhaps it was just this particular room had problems.

After searching long for a good and decent hotel and after reading all the good comments about hotel Les 3 poussins we decided to book this hotel.
We were pleasantly surprised. The hotel indeed is just about 20 minutes from the Gare du Nord on foot. We decided to go walking but unfortunately lost our way a bit in the little streets but nevertheless found it still rather quick. Tip: take a good map with ALL streets on it! The welcome was friendly. We arrived rather early (9:30 am) so our room wasn’t ready yet. We could safely leave the luggage behind in the hotel though.
The hotel is quite good located. We searched for days on end to find an affordable and decent hotel that was located a bit central and we found it! There are at least 2 metro stations very near by. Montmartre is indeed 10 minutes north and the shopping area 10 minutes south of the hotel.
The room was indeed very small as mentioned by some others . We had to put our bags under the table to have some moving around space. And the bathroom was indeed very tiny. We were pleasantly surprised to find a little kitchen though. We were on the 5th floor and had quite a nice view over the roofs of Paris. The street is quiet, no noise at all. The hotel itself is not too big so you didn’t have much noise from neighbours either. One negative thing: the room itself was not very warm. We did arrive on a very chilly and icy day in February but the small radiator wasn’t enough to warm the space. Showering was also a chilly experience. Nonetheless it was all very clean and everything necessary was there.
We had breakfast included. It’s in the cellars of the hotel. There was bread, croissants, vienoiserie, jam, even nutella! ;), cheese, yoghurt, cornflakes and muesli, canned fruit, etc. You could chose between coffee, lots of different sorts of tea and chocolate milk. There was also fruit juice. Fresh fruit would have been good though and some people might have liked scrambled or boiled eggs with bacon.
Around the hotel there are different little stores. We always went to get some supplies at a little store just around the corner with a very friendly owner.
What concerns restaurants around the place. We once found a good and cheap Italian pizzeria in the Rue Faubourg Montmartre . Some people mentioned Bistro La Lorette so we went to check it out and it was SO good! I’m really surprised this guy doesn’t have a mention in Trotter/Le guide routard. You could choose between two dishes for 25 euros and 3 dishes for 30 euros. The card hasn’t got much choice but it means his products are fresh. I’ve had the best chicken in many years! The restaurant is very, very small but very cosy and the owner welcomes you with a lot of enthusiasm! First time in Paris I didn’t find a tourist rip-off place!
I would recommend Les 3 poussins to everyone who’s on a short touristic stay in Paris. Prices are very decent, the hotel is clean, very well located and quiet. It’s the perfect location for people who search a good quality/price ratio!

Just returned yesterday from a 3 night stay. Firstly the hotel is in a great location 4 mins walk to St George metro and also a very short walk to the Pigelle area of Montmarte. The room was small but very adequate and the bed comfortable, very good for Paris.
We found the room got quite hot at night and the large windows would only open fully so we could not let fresh air in for any length of time as too cold for March and the air conditioning although set really low did not seem to cool us very much. But this aside we were otherwise very happy with our room. The breakfast was pretty costly so we only had this on the last morning of our stay for convenience, but otherwise ate it at local cafes.
We are very friendly people who get on well with most but we did find one of the recepiton staff to be particulary unfriendly, compounded by one occasion after a long day pounding the streets we requested tea as offered in the room menu. My Husband even went to reception to save him bringing it up to our room to request it and was greeted with a Humprh!!! any teenager would be proud of as the gentleman in question was not happy at being disturbed doing something on his laptop. Not quite what you would expect at any hotel. All in all I would recommend this hotel to anyone for location price and comfort. I just think that one member of staff could do with some training in hospitallity. Fortunately other members of staff were much friendlier.

We stayed for two nights 20-21 March. We booked a triple room and we were located on the 6th (european) floor of the hotel. Our room was the length of the hotel, with a large queen size bed and closet on one end, a large chair/tv and table with 4 chairs in the middle, then a twin bed a kitchenette and large bathroom on the other end. The 6 large windows all had black out blinds (which my hubby appreciated). We could even see the top of the Sacre Coure from half of our windows. The check in and out was very simple and the staff were very nice. The area was all I wanted and more and not a bit touristy. We met a nice British man that had lived there with his French wife for 26 years and he commented that we were staying in the perfect area...."real Paris" as he called it! I couldn't agree more!
