One of very many standard small * hotels in Paris without an elevator, but much more clean and nice than a majority of such hotels. The high price is given mostly by the location very near to Gare de Lyon. The area is safe with several grocery stores in 3-5 minutes walk, and the street Rue Cremieux next to the hotel is one of the most beautiful historical street of Paris.

They are reconstructing rooms one by one in a very meaningful and understandable way, however if one is sensitive to stink of chemicals, or would neet to stay in a room also during the day when these noisy works are done, they such people should make a deal with a reception to be as far away from a room under reconstruction as poss. Breakfast is, as they correctly advertise, really "petite", just a crossaint, a mini peace of baguete with butter and jam, and a coffee, i.e. no juice. Sometimes it is "self served", but sometimes a woman is there to serve so she might possibly prepare a tea instead of a coffee.

The location is very central, very close to important places and also a 5-minute walk from the train station. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Room cleaning was done on a daily basis and wi-fi worked smoothly. The place is cute and very good in terms of price/performance.

Hotel rooms are small yes, but this is a general feature of France. Also, the spiral staircase can be challenging for those with heavy loads, but we were on the second floor and had no problems. Other than that, it would be nice to have a full-length mirror and kettle in the room.

Travelling by rail to Bourg st Maurice for ski holiday with one night stay in Paris. Booked basic room to keep cost down close to Gare du Lyon for onward journey next day. Rated a one star and usually don't go below four star. We were pleasantly surprised. Great location 1 minute from gare du lyon. Very friendly and helpful proprietor. In process of refurbing but perfectly nice and secure. All clean. Bedding crisp and comfortable. Loads of cafes restaurants just down the road. Perfect.

Having read the reviews I was not expecting a very good experience from my night in this hotel, but: The room was clean and the the sheets crisp and white. Tha bathroom was impeccable (new, I think). And I could leave my big suitcase behind the reception desk. I was travelling with my dog and that was no problem even in the breakfast room.

The floor in my room was a little uneven, and my bed was on a slight slope!

Hotel is in excellent location, very easy to reach from Gare de Lyon, and hence also easy to get to numerous destinations around the city. Lots of restaurants etc equally within easy reach. En-suite bathroom was good, with plenty of hot water. Staff at reception were friendly and helpful.

There should have been an extra roll or two of toilet paper in the room; it is a nuisance to have to run downstairs to ask for more - but this is hardly a big deal.

It is an excellent location if you arrive or leave by train. Walking distance from Gare de Lyon or Austerlitz. Clean with a very honest price.

The stairs may be problematic for those with heavy luggage or mobility issues.

Location quiet but like most Parisian hotels at this price noises in the building travel. Welcome & clear information from staff. Good clean shower and en suite.

No lift. Difficult to see where they could put one in. Had to ask for a towel, which seemed a bit odd. Perfectly good example provided on request.

The room was good. However it lacked proper ventilation. The staff was really friendly and guided me well to visit different places across Paris. I was provided with some basic necessities which was great. Overall, my experience was great.

Lack of proper ventilation in the room. Windows were there but they had to be kept shut for safety and privacy. I was on the ground floor so that's a given. There were some weird marks on the bathroom door. They did not bother me but might bother someone else in the same situation. Overall the place was great though and I do recommend staying there.

I needed a bed for the night at short notice as I missed a connection. this location was perfect, 5 minutes from Gare de Lyon. bed was comfy, shower was good, very quiet location for a good night’s sleep

stairs were quite steep. decor a little ‘tired’ perhaps

I really liked the location and even though the room had a slight smell of smoke and was simple, the comfort, layout, and location was great. It was clean. The gentleman at the front desk was nice and welcoming.

The slight smell of cigarettes, but so many people smoke in France …
