  : The location is superb. Its very close to the metro station Charonne. There is a supermarket around the corner and a couple of bakeries as well.The hotel itself looks very simple from the outside and inside. Checking in is very easy to do and youll get a keycard to use.The room (101) itself is spacious enough for 2 people, has 2 single beds, coffee/tea making facilities, a wardrobe, towels and linen, a safe, a suitcase stand and a bath with a shower. Even though the room is on the street side, there is not a lot of noise except for sometimes you can hear the rubbish trucks outside, but that doesnt last that long and is not that annoying.The beds are made every day, wether you like it or not (which is a good and a bad thing, thats why I mentioned it for both).Towels are changed when you leave them in the bath. If you dont want/need them changed, just hang them up on the hook.
  : There was a small stain on one of the bed sheets. The wooden furniture is chipping and coming apart. Could do with another socket next to the bed.There is no do not disturb sign to hang on the door, so beds are made every day whether you like it or not.There is a large hole behind the toilet at the bottom, which could do with some repair.There was no plug for the bath.The hotel in general could do with a bit of an upgrade.

  : Near to the Metro station.
  : The mattress feels like a hammock. It needs to be replaced.

  : The location was close to the metro and lots of restaurants and grocery stores.
  : The front desk staff, which changed often, were not very welcoming or, in some instances, never even acknowledged our existence.

  : Hotel is very close to the Charonne metro station, Carrefour city shop at the corner, many bakeries for any type of breakfast or a snack, many restaurants, very close (10 min walk) to Nation station (main point of transfer for metro, RER -also for Disneyland, bus for airport). The room was big enough for 2 people, quiet, with a very comfortable bed & 2 pillows each (for any preference), air heating for manual setting at your disposal (also in the bathroom) so it was exactly what we set as per our needs, water heating facilities for a tea/coffee (excellent when you came in after walking all day in a cold weather or just want to relax), very clean towels and sheets, bed is arranged daily, towels and sheets changed after 2 days, bathroom cleaned daily. The breakfast is acceptable, the place is nice and have a small terrace (looks nice but we didn't had a good weather to see it open).
  : Some minor scratches in the bath tub and an infiltration spot on the wall show the hotel oldness, can be repaired/eliminated. Some vegetables at the breakfast would be appreciated.

  : It's a great place to stay if you're looking for something cheap, in a perfectly fine location and with a comfy enough bed to sleep in. The shower is pretty poor - always a bug bear of mine - but we needed something at good value as we were only in Paris for a night and wanted to spend our money on a good meal. Perfect place for a couple of people to crash.
  : The shower was poor and the rooms are very clinical. But in fairness, you know this when booking and it's very clean and the rooms are spacious.
