  You get what you pay for

  This place is kind of between a hostel and a hotel. The rooms are pretty basic and the walls are quite thin, but it has a great location and friendly staff, plus a cat called Gigi. It reminded me of my room at university.

  Les miserables

  17 Nov 2019

  Very friendly and helpful staff who ran the bar downstairs, the location is great - only a short walk to chatelet and some cosy bars and restaurants up and down the street.When we entered the room however, we were engulfed by the strong smell of paint fumes, the toilet, the shower and the bed were all in same room and the single chair and desk just added to the depressing vibe of the place, along with a single generic canvas art still in its wrapper that hang on the wall. Due to it raining heavily whilst we were there, on our first morning the door had swollen shut trapping us inside.The windows were covered with thick black temporary plastic sheets (this at least kept the light out in the morning) however we were unable to open them during the day. The price you pay to stay here is for the location only, nothing about the room was nice. However I blame myself, not the hotel or the staff, as I failed to read the reviews before booking.

  It’s a hostel

  Super location, great staff, cute bar downstairs with cheap beverages and a cat that lives on the bar and loves a scratch. Don’t book this if you want a fancy hotel. It’s absolutely fine for young, chilled travellers looking for a place to stay. (Not allowed to put toilet paper down the toilet — but there’s a maccas down the road if you need to poop and don’t want to stink the bins 👌🏻)

  Unsafe and Dangerous!

  02 Jun 2019

  My daughter and 3 of her friends checked into this hotel 2 nights ago to be horrified! The door did not lock on the room - the bed had no quilt cover - the cleanliness was much to be desired. After reporting their concerns a guy tried to fix the lock with a screwdriver to no avail! The area felt very unsafe, groups hanging around outside the hotel playing music The group felt so distressed they left the hotel and found a new hotel. The description was definitely NOT what advertised on booking.com and to be insulted by a 30 euro refund was disgusting.

  My mother would have it condemned

  24 Dec 2018

  This hotel was an interesting combination of contradictions. We booked our trip to Paris quite late and took a chance on this hotel, even with so few reviews. And oh boy, kiddies, do I have a review for you. On the brighter side, the location was amazing, just a fifteen minute walk to Le Marais or Chatelet. On the corner of the street was the nicest bakery, around the corner was a Monoprix (supermarket) and within easy walking distance were several pharmacy’s, a Christmas market, and some very cute cafés, as well as a metro. The staff were polite and friendly, even though we spoke little French, and even directed us to all these on arrival. The area was relatively quiet, and the bar downstairs had a very friendly black cat, who was gorgeous and likes pats. HOWEVER The facilities, although good on paper, were rather rotten in person. I travelled with a friend on our Christmas holiday, and we expected a clean room, a clean bathroom and not much more, having slept in our fair share of not super accomodation. Instead, we were put in a room with an open bidet, filthy floors with moss growing in the corners, stained (and I mean STAINED) chairs and a table that we couldn’t put anything on in fear of it falling over.It was the bathroom that really killed this place for us though. I have seen outback drop toilets in Central Australia that were more pleasant and hygienic than this. The ventilation for said bathroom was a hole in the wall - directly into our room. Due to this lack of ventilation, there was black mould all over the ceiling. The shower head had mould growing on it, and due to the build up, no longer acted as a shower; just a mildly smelly drip of water. To make matters worse, the sewer was inside the bathroom, and toilet paper had to go in the bin, lest the sewer over flow. Our room, after about two days, smelt like the toilet, so much so that it made me incredibly ill. The staff were very kind and moved our room with no fuss at all. The new room wasn’t much better, and the double bed we were sharing was more a King Single, and the toilet smell was mostly gone. Mostly. There were clearly a lot of young adults staying in this hotel, doing the same as we were. There were also a lot of gentlemen entertaining women of the night, per se, and hence the street the hotel is on is home to many a strip club. They were, however, secondary in their offence only to the bathrooms. If you’re willing to sacrifice your dignity and hygiene for location, go for it. Personally, I would not stay in this hotel again if you paid me.
