no frills but clean, well positioned for transit travellers due to being so close to city centre, station, and bus station (including airport transfer) but maybe not so ideal for tourists staying longer because the 2nd arrondisement can be a bit dead especially at nights.

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2012

This hotel is not so far from railway station and we walked that only few minutes. This way was little bit troublesome. The road was dirty and full of rubbish, and the local inhabitants were looked dangerously. But with the hotel we were satisfied. It is only 2* hotel, but was clean with good services - tasty breakfast, pleasant receptionist.

This 2-star hotel was much nicer than two of the 3 star hotels we stayed at during this trip. Although small and the bed was small and hard, everything else met our needs. We were pleasantly surprised! Free internet is a great asset too. This hotel is not in a nice neighbourhood though - be careful when wandering the streets... More

I do not recommend this place for people that are easily awaken. First night we stayed in a room facing the street and was awaken early by construction and honking on the street. But the personal was very nice and helped us with another room. But still hard to sleep after 08:00 because you can hear every door opening. I... More

My friend and I stayed here as part of our travels around Europe and found it to be an adequate hotel for the price we paid for it and for the 2* rating it had. The location isn't perfect as you come to expect with 2* hotels in major cities - we were around a 20 minute walk from the... More

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel and it was a total mistake. The price was cheap but paying slightly more you can get a lot nicer budget hotel from a better area. The hotel rooms are extremely small which is naturally the French style but these hotel rooms are also dirty (especially the bath room!) and the walls are... More
