This was a lovely budget hotel in Paris. For our family of four it was perfect, and roomy enough for all 4 of us and our luggage. The room was clean, and the hotel was fairly quiet, even though the walls were thin.
Location: Excellent - few feet from the Oberkampf metro station and walking distance to many things.
Cleanliness. It was spotless on arrival and well maintained during our stay. The common areas were also nicely maintained.
Food: There is a very nice breakfast buffet which one can select for about $13 Euros/person. It had pastries, meats, breads, cereals, and an assortment of fresh fruits. For a large eater, this will be a bargain or comparable to some of the other breakfasts in the area. If you are having a croissant and a coffee, a local boulangerie may be a better option.
Staff: In my opinion this is what makes or breaks a stay in a foreign country. All of the staff members we met were very helpful with directions, and advice, extra towels, etc.
Things to note: The garden space is really lovely, pictures don't do it justice. Also, if you use the shuttle to the airport, know that it is a shared ride, and you will not be going to the airport. Your arrival time to the airport may be impacted by this.
Recommendations: While the bathrooms were very sleek and elegant, with just a glass partition, a shower curtain (or minimally the ability to install a makeshift one) might be more practical in a family room, allowing more simultaneous use of the bathroom.
