After reading some reviews was tempted to book a hotel along the road, but we were arriving in Paris to surprise a friend who was booked in here for a big birthday, so as it was only one night we thought we should be together. The en suite, although not spacious had obviously been recently renovated and the shower was great. The bed was very comfortable, I prefer a firmer mattress. If you want a twin room, contact the hotel first, they only have two, and any mobility problems, request not to be put on the 5th floor as lift only goes up to the 4th. Hotel is situated just off the Place de la Republique, meters from a metro station, surrounded by plenty of bars restaurants and shops. Over for the price, a little gem really. Oh, there's a patisserie across the road for morning coffee and croissants.
