  You get what you pay for. $250 Cdn a night and if you know the expression ‘couldnt swing a cat’ you know what I mean. We were in room 106 had to move our suitcase to the door area blocking exit but give us shuffle room to move about. Clean and quiet but would never go back.

  March8-18 had a room on the 3rd floor. Room was spacious and very clean. The view was nice and the windows opened allowing a wonderful draft to blow through at night. The beds were very comfortable. Housekeeping did a fantastic job daily and any requests were quickly taken care of. the breakfast was good and had plenty of options. The front desk staff were all very helpful whenever we had a question and all spoke English. The hotels location is within a short walk to one of the main metro stations. There were several very good restaurants also within walking distance our favorite was the noodle restaurant directly across the street from the entrance. We went here several times. Price was good and I would stay here again no question.

  Uncomfortable Stay

  27 Aug 2025

  While this hotel has some old world French charm, it comes with a lot of difficulties that are typical of hotels of this vintage.The room was tired and dated. The fabric wallpaper was old and very worn in places, the curtain was torn and visibly stitched and a large tile had dislodged from the shower surround. The shower bath, although modern, was very awkward. It had a small glass screen and flooded all over the bathroom floor and into the bedroom. There was no fridge and no iron/ironing board in the room.The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel was conveniently close to Gare de Lyon station, but overall it was a very uncomfortable stay that was bearable only because it was for one night.

  The 12e is not a part of Paris troubled much by tourists, and we were keen to explore this area; the Viator was great for that. A five minute walk from Gare de Lyon, with some great cafes and restaurants nearby. Room 703 at the very top (the wee window in the grey mansard roof at the front of the building) was quiet, comfortable, with a big en-suite bathroom that even had a view of the Colonne de Juillet at Bastille and an actual bath (quite rare in Paris.) The bed was comfortable with a firm mattress, a kettle (also rare) and teabags. And the reception desk couldn't have been more helpful when we needed a corkscrew, glasses, to leave our luggage etc. We were there in a massive heatwave and the temperature didn't drop below 35 most days, so not surprisingly the aircon (very efficient) sprung a leak in the bathroom on day three, but apart from that, it was a great stay. An excellent base to discover hidden parts of Paris near Bercy, the old wine district, the Promenade Plantee, the Aligre market etc. and close to the river for strolls.

  Tired but handy

  07 Apr 2025

  Room 407 is very dated and carpet v stained and dusty. The bathroom layout was poor with the sink so large that access to shower and toilet was hard. Towel rack is at other end of bathroom from shower and there is no soap holder in the shower. It has obviously been broken previously. The toilet rattled each time I sat on it- it seems the cistern is looseNo fresh coffee or tea for breakfast just a machine that dispenses a third of a cup. The lady on reception wasn’t v friendly either as she preferred to answer the phone part way through my check in. The location is great for gare de Lyon. I chose the hotel for that and the fact that breakfast starts at 6:30 is good
