My family and I went to Paris as part of a tour group and had to stay here. It's within walking distance to Lafayette and Opera, a short cab-ride to Sacre Coeur. There was an elevator that sometimes worked and could only fit 2 people and 1 piece of luggage. The room was small but I guess that's typical in Paris. The bathroom was super small. You can seriously sit on the toilet and brush your teeth at the same time! The ideal bathroom for somebody suffering from food poisoning. It's an older hotel and it's along an alley of hotels where people walk their dogs to poop on the street.
Buffet breakfast was free. It was the same food everyday. They have cereals, cheeses, Nutella, croissants, bread, pastries, fruits, juice, milk, coffee, water, etc. The doneness of the scrambled eggs and the bacon were different everyday though. Sometimes the eggs were fluffy, sometimes they were runny. Sometimes the bacon was crispy, sometimes it was still pale pink/white. The dining area is small with only a few tables so, make sure you get there as soon as they start serving breakfast. One time we sat at the table before the cook even got there. Not that we were starving. We figured we'd get a table before everybody else does so we don't have to wait. The cook was not happy with that. She started stressing out.
A few steps from the hotel are cafes, restaurants, a small supermarket and a pharmacy. You can get a crepe at 6pm before going back to your room.
For about 260euros/night, I probably wouldn't stay here again. read more
