Hotel is quaint. Rooms were on the small side but they were clean and tidy. Hotel is brilliantly positioned for metro with station only 100 metres away so easy access to main tourist attractions. Right across the road was an excellent patisserie and fruit shop. Wifi was free although this tended to drop off and require your password again. I would stay here again in a second because hotel represents excellent value.

After traveling three or so hours on the Eurostar from the UK, I just wanted to sit back and relax. This evidently is not the place to do it. The person at the reception was very unwelcoming. I was never showed to my room, mind you I was a woman traveling alone and has several heavy bags. There were no lights in the hallway at all, (it was not until later that I found the light switches, I was never told about their preservation of energy ordeal). After entering my room, I was shocked! I knew the room would not be big because it was Paris so that was fine, but the carpet actually has mold on it and so did the walls! disgusting!!!! There is no showerhead, just a tub so that was odd for me. Later come to find out, that it is pretty common.
So having booked through an online travel agent, I called them to see if they could intercede on my behalf. They called the hotel to report that I was unhappy with the hotel. When I came back from a brief walk, the receptionist actually bullied me! He was demanding to know why I had called the travel agent, so on and so fourth. So he said I could leave or take another room he had available. I took a look at the other room (for lack of time and options) and took the other room. Albeit it was a little more accommodating, but I should not have been put through that treatment.
The other cons:
-They ask you to leave your key with them when you go out, I have never heard of that in my life. Plus, I had bought some very expensive items while in Paris that couldnt fit in the safe they provide, so I was not sure whether someone was going to go through my stuff.
- Elevator takes too long
-15 Euro for breakfast which i declined and walked right across the street to the bakery.

Good things
- Near the Metro
-Um.......thats it!

The rudest reception staff imaginable. I was minsinformed about what was and was not open on a holiday weekend, told that it was my own fault that the noise in my room had prevented me from sleeping (in fact, the room/s urgently need soundproofing and the window did not stay shut) - because I evidently do not know how to close a window. I was also told it was my fault that the second suite of TV channels advertised as available was not working, as I don't know how to work a TV. It also was my fault that the cleaner came barging in when I was in bed in the morning because I had not displayed the "Do Not Disturb Sign" - there are none to display, the key was in my room and there was no excuse for the intrusion. Finally, I was screeched at and accused of being a National Front supporter because I had said that the hotel was sub-standard.
