Lovely, well-priced property well maintained and with nice amenities. Shared bath, but each room has a sink. No life, so all walk-up to the fifth floor (sixth floor for Americans!)

For a solo traveller only staying 3 days, it was a perfect little room to call home. Small and cozy, room was pretty snug but had a bed, sink, table, fridge, microwave, and a big window overlooking the streets of paris. Not great if you get claustrophobic or have a lot of kids running around, but the staff was very friendly - i talked to 3 different people at the desk and they all spoke english, bathrooms are clean (but toilets/showers are only every other floor) and relatively quiet/well kept. I loved it there!

one gets what one over pays for. ) it’s Paris. TV didn’t work, Wifi didn’t work, reception helped get the optional one. Cheaper hotels in Paris, right now, are harder to find with only a week or so to reserve. Room was sparse but clean. The fridge even worked.

Not worth £100 a night

This hotel is NOT a £100 a night hotel. I would say £50 would be fairer. No bathroom in room , crappy furniture, rotten window, no lift.

Slum

Was like a time warp back to the 60s gorbals with rotting furniture leaky sinks and shaky balcony. Thee worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life and I was in care in Glasgow in the 90s. Honestly place should be condemned. I’m pretty sure the refugees in uk are housed better

The room itself was fine. The bathroom I shared had a toilet that did not flush completely and a shower with standing water in it. The drain was obviously clogged as water continued to gather and rise.

Super bien que la habitación tenía un Refri y microondas y lavabo, super útil para viajeros, nuestra habitación fue con baño compartido así que para ser hostal está súper bien. Lo malo es que la cama es súper vieja, no podía dormir porque me rodaba al centro de la cama, estaba tan vieja, desgastada y deforme la cama 😅😅.
