Trip Type: Family Review 1 of 4OK hotel for the money for Paris
My wife and I (mature couple) stayed 3 nights at this quiet hotel. Our room, on the first floor, had 2 single beds joint at the base, it was clean but small (~ 2.5 x 3 m) and crowded with furniture which made moving around difficult for 2 people. Bathroom (~ 2 x 2 m) was clean and had a large window with flimsy sheers, which overlooked to a sort of courtyard and other buildings, such that when you went to toilet, you had the feeling of exposing yourself to passers-by (thankfully not to many). The room price did not include breakfast, which was expensive, almost 3 times the cost of the cafés behind the hotel. The location was convenient for us, about 3 metro stations from St-Michel and one direct RER ride from the CGD Airport. In short, it is a good value for the money for Paris and for short stays.

Trip Type: Family Review 2 of 4problems with the hotel
The hotel itself was charming but the service left a great deal to be desired. The elevator did not work the entire time we were there. We were on the fourth floor (American fifth floor). We were constantly promised that the elevator would be fixed by the next day, but it didn't happen.(when we checked out, we were told that it would take a week after our departure to fix the elevator). We were also told by the manager that we would either be moved to a lower floor or another property which didn't happen either. We woke late on our first morning with no electricity and then the fire alarm went off. I peeked around the corner outside our door to see a number of men in suits and a fireman holding a test of the fire alarm. We received no notice of the test and were naturally concerned when the alarm went off. We requested wake up alarms which never, ever came, extra pillows and towels which were never delivered, and on the last night got a light bulb for one of the lamps which had none. The desk man also mistakenly failed to put my bag in the storage room, taking another identical bag instead. Fortunately we discovered the problem before we left for the airport. The only remedy offered for our problems was a free breakfast, one free night to be used within a year and the elimination of the city tax which we weren't supposed to have paid in the first place. The bathroom had mold in it and despite pointing it out nothing was done. Absent these problems, I would go back as the neighborhood was very good, convenient and scenic. The hotel's bad management (at least at the front desk) has caused problems for us, they never noted our concerns or fixed them, and climbing four/five flights of stairs multiple times a day was difficult due to our health problems. The failure to take care of the problems caused by the elevator and lack of response by the front desk makes me hesitant to recommend the hotel, as prior reviews have also mentioned problems with the elevators which

Trip Type: Family Review 3 of 4Not a 4 Star
It does seem that the rating system in Europe is flawed compared to what we expect in the US. This hotel is tired. Worn twin beds pushed together, ratty carpet, dryrot all around the shower, etc. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. They recommended Chez PaPa - a must for a local hangout with exceptional inexpensive (relative) chow. Location was reasonable as the subway is about 3 blocks away.

Trip Type: Family Review 4 of 4Needs Extreme Improvement In All Areas
This hotel was listed as a 4 star hotel. It was far from that. The customer service was absolutely horrible. When we booked our reservation, it said breakfast was included. However, when we checked out, they charged us 18 Euros per person and per day! (18 euros = $27!) When we went to breakfast each morning, they never told us we were going to be charged for it. The room was extremely small. But there was a balcony which had a really nice view of the city. The quality of the room was much lower 4 stars. Cheap TV, bed etc. The majority of the staff was rude. They definitely need to improve their customer service. I did not feel welcomed the entire time I stayed there. The location was in a safe area. But it was at least 6 - 8 subway stops away from the main attractions (i.e. Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, etc.) That was a bit far. But there were a lot of nice restaurants and bars within walking distance. Overall, I would never stay at this hotel again and would NOT recommend it to anyone.
