Bed bugs, horrible customer service, filthy hotel in general. After seeing the bed bugs, we had to move. They said they would refund our money but when we got home we saw they had charge us... Don't stay here!!! There are plenty of other options very close by that are in the same price range.

.....and then grumble when you don't get champagne. The point I am trying to make is that this hotel is not five star with air conditioning, lifts and room service. HOWEVER, what it lacks in these three points that people grumble about, it makes up for itself in other ways. I have just returned from spending five nights at this fantastic hotel. I stayed in room 15 (third floor) - it was spotlessly clean with snow white sheets, clean wooden floors, a tv (french channels only) a little table, wardrobe, wash basin with a light over it and a hair dryer. The french windows opened onto the most cute little balcony ever, I felt like Amelie !!! Coupled with that, my bed was made every day and fresh clean towels provided as well. I was upset that I could not leave a few euros for the person cleaning my room at the end of my stay but I was running low on funds. The wc was on the same floor but the shower was on the second floor. At no time did I ever have to wait to use them. The thing is here is that you make your money on location alone. It is a stones throw from Bastille metro station or a slightly longer walk from St Pauls station. Location ! Location ! Location ! It is two streets away from Place des Vosges where I spent many warm afternoons and evenings, people watching and picnicking. Rue des Rosiers is a short walk away where you can get the most delightful felafels or crepes for pennies (great if you are on a budget). Lots and lots of cocktail and wine bars. There are supermarkets, fromageries, greengrocers, charcutieries, traiteurs galore. If you are on a budget, this area is king. Walk down any side street on the left side of Rue St Antoine and this takes you over a number of any bridges leading to Notre Dame, Latin Quarter etc etc. Just check it out on the map, you needn't use the metro when you see how close you are to everything. As well as this, there are many good affordable resturants so close by. How lovely after a day of sightseeing to return to your area and eat and drink in peace without worrying about getting home. The staff also made this stay truly memorable. All of them were friendly and polite and had no problem looking after my luggage until my evening train. I am a middle aged London woman who has been visiting Paris since I was a very young girl and I can honestly say that this hotel was one of my best stays. I hope to return again very soon.

clean room, decent bed, and unbeatable price for the excellent location. the guys manning the front desk are friendly and helpful, to boot, which is not always the case at place five times this price.

My boyfriend and I booked this hotel for four Nights thinking it sounded ok for a budget hotel. When we arrived and lugged our suitcase up 5 flights of steep winding stairs, no elevators, we were super disappointed to see the room that looked dirty and uncomfortable. There were bed bugs under the mattress. For those of you that don't know bed bugs can attach to your luggage and clothes and cause a big problem. they are really hardto get rid of. Look for other options in the area that are rated with stars. This one is not-no stars. We stayed at a great two star that was cheaper, 96€ a night, and was clean and comfortable, called hotel Jeanne d'arc on rue turenne. Great value for the price. There are tons of options so don't settleforthis gross hotel it will ruin your stay! Look on side streets not rue st. Antoine or rue rivoli, places are much nicer.
