Great hotel for the price. Amazing staff. Cool neighborhood near La Nation metro.

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, friendly service, economical
This hotel is a great buy. The staff is the nicest I ever experienced in Paris as good or better than even the really expensive hotels. The neighborhood is very convenient, just a few blocks from La Nation metro. And it has a cool funky Jewish vibe with great neighborhood restaurants, cafes, and bakeries.

Very Clean, Very Welcoming Staff, Close to Metro

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Very good experience. Rooms were clean and contemporary. Staff was helpful in all respects. Easy access to Metro and many good cafes and eating choices in the neighborhood. Felt safe walking at night because usually many pedestrians about.

Outstanding hotel in a charming neighborhood.

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
The owner was extremely helpful, especially when I realized that I had booked two different hotels for the same time period. He spoke to the other hotel, and charmed them into only charging me for one night's missed reservation. His English and his sense of humor were wonderful. The hotel is a short walk from the Metro and is well worth the extra few minutes' walking time. My wife and I can't say enough good things about it. It set a wonderful tone for the rest of our trip.

Great location, newly decorated room and bath but tiny tiny.

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet, warm helpful staff
Chose this hotel because of all the favorable reviews - and they were correct. Located between two subway stations just blocks away in a non tourist area with many ethnic restaurants. The staff is very helpful and fluent in English. If you have claustraphobia better find a hotel with a larger room. Newly decorated room and bath were functional and window opened to street. Watch out for your valuables if you train to the hotel. Pickpockets are watching for tourists. Play it safe and take a taxi to and fro.

great hotel

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
thought it was clean. Friendly staff and very attentive. For my first time in Paris I couldn't have asked for a better place. Rooms are a bit small but not really surprised by that. I would go back in a heartbeat. Good location but a bit off the beaten path. Very accessible by subway.

A home away from home

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
The hotel was comfotable and located in a very convenient area. The metro was nearby as was several cafe's and shops. The staff was very friendly and helpful and was a great help with giving us directions. In addition, they gave us several ideas for places to visit. The hotel manager, especially, made us feel as if we were his own personal guests

Great experience!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and more than accomodating. And even though the hotel is not central to any of the major sites, the metro is only a short walk away! We were able to get just about anywhere in short order. An added bonus is that there were ample restaurants nearby to the hotel, too. Other than the weather being less than ideal, our trip to Paris was fantastic! I highly recommend this hotel.
