This hotel is ideally placed for all the major sights. The Arc de Triomphe, Tuileries, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame are all within reasonable walking distance, and the Champs Elysees just a 2 minute walk away. The hotel itself was clean, service was polite and helpful, breakfast fresh and plentiful with an excellent pot of coffee. Our triple room was really a double room with an extra bed, a little cramped over 4 nights but exactly what the website indicated. The bathroom was very good with a deep bath, power shower and separate toilet. Our room looked on to the street and was noisy from 6.30 in the morning. The lounge and breakfast room have been refreshed or upgraded since the pictures were taken for the hotel's official website and we found them pleasant and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our 7 year old daughter. There are many excellent restaurants close at hand and it is worth exploring the side streets for more interesting options.

The hotel is in an excellent location about a 2-3 minute walk from the Champs Elysees. The staff at the reception were friendly and spoke English. The lift was tiny (could fit 1 person and a suitcase or 2 or 3 people). The decor of the room was outdated with a 70's bathroom, brown tiles, old bedding etc. However there was nothing wrong with it. Most peoples houses are outdated and ugly, with old furniture and they still live there happily. It is the cheapest hotel in the area and it is better to be in a good area. The room was clean, had a separate toilet (which is unusual) and a proper deep bathtub. The bed was comfortable and the room was reasonably sized (bigger than a lot of European hotel rooms) It had a homely atmosphere and a small balcony with a fantastic view of a Parisian street. We had a great time, the area is fantastic with a supermarket next door to the hotel and several good shoe shops on the same street. No fridge in the room though, which was annoying.

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in a double room.

The hotel has an excellent location, right near Metro stations.

It is shabby, and has a boring breakfast. Our room was clean though.

We lived on the 4th floor, and I took the stairs everytime because the receptionist confessed to me that he never used the elevator because it wasn't safe (!).

The light switch in our room broke, but the receptionist found a way to fix it.

There was a bar, but when we tried to order they neither had beer or coke.

We stayed in this hotel on July 9, the night before flying back to the states, because our buddies from the UK like it. I had balked at staying here originally, based on their pictures, and thank God for it! The place looked like an aging Dennys, all done up in brown and orange. In reality, it was not too bad, although the elevator is constantly down, and you have to lug your luggage up and down dark flights of stairs... The entryway and front desk area reminds you of a youth hostel; it's functional and bare in the extreme...
The rooms are clean and most have a large window that opens out to the boulevard, where one can watch the energy of a real Paris street, in all its spendor. There is no air conditioning, but they have a fan attached to the wall. The bathrooms are fairly spacious, and ours had a tub and shower....the towels were cheap but clean. They have no king-size beds; only a smallish queen.

It really is right around the corner from the Champs, which is a plus, to be sure. The lounge and common rooms are grungy, but the staff are positive, accomodating, and almost all speak English. The beer is not cold, and you have to pay to use their computer, but you can almost always get online with ease....

I would much rather pay a bit more and get a rich Paris experience, but it was pretty okay for one night, and they gave us a little discount due to the broken elevator, which my husband thought was nice....

I don't know why, but am told all the Brits stay here....I guess they like that seventies ambience...
