I have to say that people complain a bit too much about everything. Very well located by metro close to republic station, 3 different bakeries close by where you can get a sandwich and coffee to go ... sandwich costs less than 5 eur and is always fresh and serves as a meal... 3 pharmacies also close by, and they speak very good English there and are super helpful. The receptionists and the the hotel owner are super nice and helpful.... the room is standard size for paris, bathroom was also good and clean. No coffee making facilities in the room, but there were 2 glasses in the room. Bed was comfortable slightly on the harder side and there is an extra pillow in the wardrobe. We got a room next to the elevator, might have been a bit more noisy than the rooms further in, but this was minimal and I did not find this too concerning as I slept like a baby. It is not as bad as other reviews make you believe. I did not opt for the breakfast at the hotel due to the fact that we were travelling in a group and I rather sleep an extra 30 minutes and grab something on the go, however people travelling in our group did say that for 10 eur breakfast provided was a good buffet. Luggage storage also available, and as pointed out in a review I came across, the luggage is stored in a room used by the stuff to rest.... the room was not always locked , however is it right next to reception and there was always someone there , so the room is still guarded. I have been to a 4 star hotel in Milan, and they stored our luggage in the corridor, so this is better.over all this hotel is very good value for money, people were welcoming and nice and hotel well connected ... would recommend any time and will stay here again

Lift is super small as in most old buildings around the world in the center of any capital city, there are limitations of what can be installed. However you can send your luggage up and down and do the stairs as they are easy to climb

Nice cozy hotel, very clean, comfortable and pretty quiet! Excellent location, next to a beautiful neighborhood full of choices for food and drinks (Canal St Martin), the metro station is just around the corner and the main train stations (Gare du' Nord & Gare del' Est) are 10 minutes way or even in walkable distance. Also a number of landmarks and must-visit neighborhoods can be walked to (Le Marais, Pompidou, Louvre Museum) or the metro will take you anywhere in Paris quite fast. Recommended for experiencing the cultural vibe of Paris, the atmosphere and the history of the city.

Very nice little hotel indeed, the rooms are small as usual in Paris, but everything is freshly renovated, brandnew bathroom, good bed. So, that is what I expect. The elevator is really funny. Tiny and old it will catapult you to your floor. The location is great - walking distance from GdN and Gdl'E, close to the party mile, close to beautiful Marais, still in a super quiet street. Good to reach by bike, velib station nearby. I liked it, and I will be back.

Actually, nothing to complain about (except for the noisy ricain neighbours). Oh, and I don't remeber the last time I slept in a hotel room without a little water kettle.

- The location is removed enough from the super touristy areas, and it has a local feel, whilst being busy and cool enough, without a trampling when you leave the hotel; - The room is big enough for two people to be comfortable; - The bathroom is big enough to be comfortable as well, and everything works well; - The staff speak English really well and are very helpful and give you tips on where to go have breakfast or a beer too; - They helped fix our safe in the room in the day.

The safe was faulty when we arrived and wanted to use it for our passports etc., an there was an open packet of cigarettes in the safe. I guess this was just missed when they cleaned, because the room in general was very clean. Nothing else to say about what I didn't like, Just something to keep in mind, the lift is VERY small and VERY old, BUT... the place has a LIFT... haha! So bonus.

A big thank you to the staff and the gentleman at reception! We were allowed to check in earlier than the time specified, which was very kind. The room was cozy, clean, and tidy. Our windows overlooked a charming courtyard where we could see how local residents live — it added a special touch to our stay. The room was very warm, the heating worked perfectly, and there was always hot water. We were also impressed to learn that, as we understood, this is a historic family-run hotel. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options. We especially remember the kind French lady who enthusiastically told us about the basement dining room in French. We didn’t understand much, but hearing pure French speech was just WOW! Everything was simply wonderful!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Despite its small size, it met our needs adequately, and the staff was accommodating. They even allowed us to check in earlier, which we appreciated. However, there were a few minor drawbacks. The noise from the nearby restaurant during the night was somewhat disruptive, and the breakfast options, lacking hot items such as eggs or sausages, leaned heavily towards raw vegetables. Nonetheless, these were minor issues in comparison to the positive experience we had overall.

As negatives, I would mention the noise from the restaurant in front of the hotel at night and the weaker breakfast - no hot options (eggs/sausages) and mainly just raw vegetables.

The room was perfect for 3 nights in Paris. The location of this property is amazing. You will have a metro station (Line 5) 1 min away and many others within a 10 min walk. So many good restaurants around this location. The room was small, but that's all we needed for 3 nights. The bedroom was comfy, and the bathroom was good. The staff was great, and the check-in and check-out process was easy. The room can get hot since they don't have A/C, but during our stay, the night's temperature was around 16-18 C, so having the window open was good enough.

Rooms were clean and tidy and modern. It wasn’t massive but it’s Paris and small rooms are the norm. There was good wardrobe space and the bed was comfortable. It was easily accessible from Republique metro and there’s lots of restaurants around and there’s a great patisserie round the corner. All the main attractions are within a 15-20 min metro ride and some are closer. Also go to the Oberkampf and 11th for great bars and restaurants.

Shower was small but again not the hotel’s fault. It was hot and powerful.

Little tiny hotel about a 15-20 minute walk with suitcases from La Gare du Nord- pretty much straight down the road. Even closer to Gare d'Est. Felt like a safe area despite riots just before we arrived. Staff were friendly and helpful, the room was bigger than we expected and very clean and in good condition, the shower room too though the sink plug got stuck cos the lever didn't work, but a helpful staff member used a plunger and sucked it back up :D . Popular boulangerie around the corner (queues all day 8am-10pm), and plenty of places to eat within walking distance and food was generally good everywhere in Paris (unlike in Rome!) We walked everywhere practically, 30 minutes walk gets you to most tourist sites, only took the Metro a few times but lots of choice with several Metro stations nearby, so very well placed. There is a little wine bar called Foudre in the Rue du Château d'Eau with a nice ambience and ex-sommelier owner, really nice wines, and cheese to go with it. We were very happy with the hotel. Security was good too, front door locked when no one was at the desk.

Nothing awful. Didn't try the breakfast so can't comment. Would have been nice to have a lounge for coffee and to chat with friends in. Lift was absolutely tiny but this is normal for small, old hotels in Paris! Run up the stairs and race your luggage in the lift, and don't bring too big bags. There are 5 floors so make sure you don't have a heart condition. No aircon, which could be a problem, but they lent us a fan so i was happy. Can be a bit noisy at night with the windows open, so bring ear plugs if you have difficulty sleeping with noise. No mirror in the bedroom, only in the bathroom. I also brought a travel kettle, having read that there wasn't one. No fridge either but milk was fine in the room.

It does what it says on the tin! It's a little hotel in a great location, great value and perfect for a leisure break. I've read some minor moans about the lift and the breakfast, but our experience was excellent. Yes the lift is small - I've never seen one like it before, but it was a great quirky feature! It was big enough for one person with all the luggage, no problem! As for the breakfast - cereal, fruit, croissants and jam, ham and cheese, bread, baguette and excellent coffee. Just the job! One day it was running low, so the kind lady on reception went round the corner with her purse and bought fresh baguettes to top it up! Superb service 😀 The room was compact, but clean and comfortable and serviced every day. The hotel is a couple of stops on the metro from Gare du Nord (Jacques Bonsergent - 1 minute from the hotel) and a 5 minute walk from Place de la Republique. A great find....we will definitely stay again!
