It's located right across from a church, so every hour you will hear church bells to indicate the time, and one bell for the half hour mark. The stairs are crooked and narrow, and the elevator can hold maybe 2 people. The rooms were comfortable and clean. There are many cafes and restaurants around, one right below the hotel so you will hear chatter if the windows are open. Our room had a slanted floor.

The receptionists were very friendly and welcoming. I was given a room with a courtyard view and it was quiet. The room was cozy and bed was comfortable. Facilities were great. Note that there were no shower curtains in the bathroom, which meant that the floor would get very wet after showering. Also, wifi was very slow but was good enough for messaging. There were many cafes, shops, and restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel. Metro stations and bus stops were of walking distance. Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel and would consider staying here again whenever I’m in Paris.

I loved the location, price, and staff of this hotel. For what you are paying the facilities and service are awesome, the design was also modern and it didn't feel like an old hotel. Has a unique floor plan, and it's quiet considering the amount of bars and cafes there is around. The front office staff was very friendly and accommodating! The only downside is you have to give your key up every time you leave somewhere, I've travelled to a lot of places and stayed at all sorts of hotels and this was the first time I was made to do this. On one of the nights, we went to the Moulin Rouge, and we came back to the hotel late since it's a late show, and there was no one at the front and we had to wait at the lobby until someone returned and gave us our room key again. If they are going to make you give up your key every time, they need to have someone at the front all the time to be able to give you back the key, other than that all was great!

Sadly we did not stay at this hotel. We were told when we checked in the air conditioner was broken and would not be fixed until the following week. This was during a horrible heatwave. The hotel added a fan to our room and two bottles of water, but it was just too hot to stay.

We only recieved one pillow for 2 people, after bringing it to the attention of the staff they quickly got us another pillow. The elevator is very tight, will fit either one person and their luggage or two small people without luggage, other than that the location is great and the room was very spacious.

Tidy and decent
The hotels is fairly decent, has a bit of wear-and-tear in places. The only thing that really went wrong was that they ran out of towels when I was staying - not ideal. That said the rooms were clean, tidy and beautifully minimalist. The surrounding area was a bit noisy (though in fairness the weekend I was staying coincided with the Bastille Day and the Football World Cup final)

dear guest, We thank you for sharing your comments while staying among us. the hotel rooms wee Indeed design on purpose on a minimalist basi in order to privilege the functional side of the room due to the ancient architecture it was built within. We did notice indeed some fluctuations regarding the wi fi connections and reported this case to our internet supplier for further checkings as well as the AC both running sound by now, it was indeed was particularly requested during this exceptional hot temperature in Paris. Longing to welcoming you again in our hotel and make you discover our double rooms ( if it was this category you chose) and let you discover the other floors and rooms themes. Best regards.

The Hotel staff were helpful. We primarily chose the hotel for it's location to the centre of Paris, so this was good and we could easily walk to the centre or take the metro. The Hotel itself looked unloved and not well maintained throughout. The twin room was tiny and with out luggage there was little room to move. The hotel is located on the corner of two busy roads and has a busy cafe bar beneath many of the rooms. The bar is very noisy and is open until 2-3.00 am most evenings so with road traffic noise, music and late night noise you will not get much if any sleep!! We were pleased to leave and would not recommend staying here.

1st time In paris
First time in Paris, not sure what to expect knowing most independant hotels would be small/compact. Hotel had friendly staff and I appreciated then talking in English as my French is limited, hotel was good, I had no complaints but a few observations. Layout of bathroom and shower were separate, very small lift and narrow hallways and floors were uneven in room and hallway, some areas could do with an upgrade but I would stay here again. Also there is a church across the street the rings their bells until 9pm.

If you want a typical basic relatively central Paris hotel this will suit you fine. No frills ( but also things like no towel rails which was irritating) and small rooms - but clean and functional. 10 mins from Bastille metro and loads of cafes/restaurants close by

loud patrons could be heard all night from the bar/restaurant below the hotel. The shower tiles were mouldy, the faucet leaked and floor tiles were loose. We had our 'do not disturb sign' on the door and two days in a row, the housekeeping staff entered our room. On the third day, we had to ask the front desk to tell the staff of the sign was on the door, it was because we didn't want service that day. When we checked out we were told we had to pay a city tax at checkout. We were unaware of this tax, so we asked for details to better understand why we were being charged 20€. The girl at the front desk just shrugged and handed the credit card machine over, mumbling to the other employee beside her.

Decent hotel in a great location
The best part about this hotel was the location. In the midst of a local street bustling with tons of restaurants, cafes and bars. Which also means if you're looking for a quiet place, this is not the place for you because it's loud into the late hours. But if you are looking for that exciting atmosphere, it's a good location. Not to mention it's walking distance to Bastille station that connects to 3 metro lines that will get you to all the tourist spots. The staff are friendly but they don't speak English well so they aren't helpful if you don't understand French which was a downside. The property itself is very crammed - only one person can fit in the elevator at a time with their luggage (to give you an idea). The room was comfortable and clean, nothing over the top but definitely serves the purpose.

Terrible experience...
Not only did I have to change room as a rat passed by... I also had not heater in both rooms due to techinical problem. Being January it was absolutely freezing! The rooms rooms and bathrooms are very old and in an absolute need of a good refurbishment. The breakfast buffet is also a joke... Will definitely not come back neither recommend that hotel.
Response from Noémie - Frontdesk on Mar 26, 2017
Dear Guest, Thanks to shared you experience with us. We want to apologize about the rat that you saw, the cause is the restaurant that we have near the hotel. For the heater the problem was fixed and was the security of the machine. For the room if it was no pleasant for you you had to ask to change at your arrival if we had availabilities. The breakfast is a typical parisan breakfast with bread, juices, thea, coffee, hot chocolate, salad fruit, pastries, jam, cheese. We are disapointed that your stay wasn't pleasant. We work hard to satisfy our guest. Best regards,

Delightful little hotel
I took my daughter to Paris for a week, and our experience at this hotel was great. It is located in an area that is surrounded by small boutique shops a sidewalk cafes. This hotel is a great value, and I would recommend it to anyone. It is very well kept and the staff is friendly and helpful. One staff member went above and beyond in making sure our stay was more than we could have hoped for, but she was not the exception she was the standard. I will stay here again the next time I am in Paris.

Fun time in Bastille
I have never been this Paris so I asked the hotel all kinds of questions and they were so helpful and always replied quickly. The hotel is at the heart of fun young Parisian bar and restaurant scene but you couldn't hear a thing from my room. Room was small which is typical of Europe but such cute decor, free water at my bedside and bathroom was cute and modern. The pillows were so comfortable!! If you are looking to have a good time in the fun Bastille area I would recommend this place.
