Guest Reviews
- Luis (8/5): - Direkt ab der Metro, Supermarkt in unmittelbarer Nähe, Bad sehr winzig
- Léana (6/5): - Hôtel plutôt calme, nous avons bien dormi. L'isolation phonique est moyenne. Nous avions une douche, un lavabo et des toilettes dans la chambre. La chambre n'est pas très accueillante ni moderne (la porte d'entrée s'ouvre directement sur les toilettes, les murs sont tachés ou abimés). Bonne localisation à 1 minute du métro 13, un McDonald's juste en face, une boulangerie et un Monoprix à 2 minutes. C'est une adresse d'appoint pour passer une nuit proche du Stade de France. Ne pas s'attendre à un grand confort.
- Céline (4/5): - Hôtel bien situé, métro 13 en face, bar restauration, accueil sympathique. Chambre sans climatisation mais ventilateur. Rideau et wc cassés. Propreté sdb moyen. Prix correct pour 1 nuit
- Fabienne (10/5): On recommande ! - Accueil vraiment chaleureux. Chambre propre et pratique, calme, côté parc. Salle de bain un peu petite mais suffisante. Petit déjeuner complet. Station de métro juste à côté, c'est très pratique.
- SYLVIE (6/5): - Très bon accueil. Confort moyen (literie ayant vécu) Ménage moyen. Pas de climatisation.
- Gabriel (2/5): - O hotel não tem organização. Não tem ar condicionado e nem ventilador. As roupas de cama e banho não estavam com aspecto de limpas. Os quartos cheiram cigarro, as pessoas estavam fumando no corredor. Não recomendo de forma alguma. Chegamos depois do horário do checkin e tivemos que aguardar pois não haviam quartos limpos. Péssima experiência!
- mohamed amine (4/5): - Une odeur désagréable dans les draps, et un objet appartenant visiblement à l’occupant précédent (angle au sol) n’avait pas été retiré. Cela laisse penser que le ménage n’a pas été fait avec soin.
- Elena (4/5): - On entend les discussions des gens des autres chambres.
- Frédéric (4/5): - très déçu par l'hôtel compte tenu des commentaires déjà formulé.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Yes but no - Room were not that clean, great neibourghood. If you dont mind dirty bedsheats, a good pick!
- Kevin (8/5): Pizza, people and lost fone! - Friendly welcome on check in but that was the one and only time i saw any staff, i was provided with a contact number in case of emergency and the asked me to take a foto of the access codes as they changed each day ( felt very safe) although i did manage to lock my fone in my room and had to wait for another guest to let me in the front door so i would suggest also keeping the paper info in a safe place on ypur person. Great little area of paris metro across road next to a mc donalds but lots of little authentic bars/ cafes around with friendly locals and be bops pizza van was delicious and very reasonable and market on sunday morning (early)was a suprise
- Lou (10/5): - A proximité des transports, bon rapport qualité prix
- Philippe (10/5): - Très bon accueil et arrangeant pour mon vélo. Séjour toujours bien dans ce petit hôtel plus que correct
- Medi (10/5): Bon hotel - Bon hôtel, Quelques taches sur les tables et autres sinon tout est à disposition et nickel, pas cher je recommande PS : les murs sont très fin on entends la simple prise que quelqu'un met
- Huertas (6/5): 😳 - Room smelled strongly of tabaco, bathroom with no door
- Tobias (4/5): - Unbedingt darauf achten, dass es KEINE eigene Toilette gibt. Die Toilette hatte kein Waschbecken, Dusche und Waschbecken sind im Zimmer, aber schimmelig. Morgens kam unangenehmer Geruch aus dem Abfluss. Für eine Nacht und den Preis war es ok.
- Miriam (8/5): - Local com excelente localização e quarto amplo. Único inconveniente era não ter banheiro no quarto. Porém a limpeza era feita todos os dias e possui um bom café embaixo do hott.
- Kieran (10/5): - The hotel was actually very sizeable for what' we needed it for especially I did go with my little girls so great that McDonald's was across the road. In terms of transport links the metro is right across the road also and good shops and a local park around the corner for children.
- Marie Stéphanie (8/5): Bon hôtel pour les courts séjours - Je viens pour des courts séjours . Côté qualité prix , je suis très satisfaite. Rien à redire.côté remboursement d’une nuit , j’aurais espéré un petit geste commercial mais ça n’a pas été possible. Je reviendrai malgré tout car tout s’est bien passé et l’hôtel est près de tout
- Jacqueline (8/5): Idéal - Chambre très propre le soucis se sont les étages.Hotel assez propre avec une salle de bain privée mais risque de glissade dans la douche sol glissant.Accueil sympa.J'ai vraiment aimée la propreté et surtout les arrêts de bus juste en sortant de l'hôtel pas à 5 mn mais en sortant de l'hôtel,pas mal de commodités et.....surtout le métro.Très bon emplacement.
- Julien (8/5): - Très bien situé (proche du métro et aux autres restaurants, café, commerces, etc.). Le personnel est sympathique, professionnel et toujours disponible. Je suis très satisfait, en accord avec mes besoins lors de mon séjour professionnel de quelques jours (une chambre pour passer mes nuits). Je recommande pour ceux et celles qui recherchent la simplicité, la foncrionnalité et la praticité lors de leurs séjours !
- Fabrice (8/5): - Attention pas de wc dans la chambre, obligé d aller sur le palier. Wc très petit en plus.
- Alexandr (10/5): - Good
- Abdellah (10/5): - Excellent value
- Josie (10/5): - We were able to hop on and off the train with ease to get to everywhere we wanted to go.
- Julie ann (8/5): - Great location for reaching central Paris Staff very polite and helpful Overall a great budget hotel
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Area is rough, right outside is alright but would not take walks at night. Bit cramped but ok for the value, could be cleaned a bit better. No sink in the toilets so have to wash hands in the rooms.
- J Ian (6/5): - The rooms bear no resemblance to the photos shown. The property is very clean; staff encountered friendly, but the neighbourhood is rough as... Shared toilet. Stay here only if you can't afford better.
- Cyril (10/5): - Un hôtel restaurant bar super sympa. Le personnel est très accueillant et la chambre propre. Très bon rapport qualité prix. J'y suis resté une nuit dans le cadre d'un voyage professionnel. Je recommande.
- Alexander (8/5): - Unusual layout with shared toilet on the corridor but shower and sink in room, narrow bed, good location for metro and Stade Bauer, super helpful staff, all good for one night
- patrick (4/5): bof - chambre petite,WC à l'extérieur pas grand chose qui ressemble ni aux avis ni aux photos,seul l'emplacement est bien pour se rendre au stade de france.
- Stephen (8/5): - We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and inexpensive. Everything was kept clean daily. Being close to the metro station and McDonalds was helpful too. Would definitely stay here again.
- Laure (10/5): Très Très bien 10/10 pour le personnel - Petit hôtel très propre, malgré les wc communs. Alors l'accueil au café rien à dire, tout le personnel de la dame de ménage à la cheffe cuisinière, des gérants aux serveurs et serveuse nous avons été conquis mon fils et moi par leur sympathie, leur sourire. Pas besoin d'aller manger loin,le bistrot propose des repas simples mais très bons. La crème brûlée excellente selon mon fils. Nous recommandons cet hôtel.
- Edward (8/5): - I have been a guest at this hotel several times and keep coming back. The hotel is affordable, clean, excellent staff and very close to the Metro which will take you anywhere in Paris in a short time.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff. Great cafe/restaurant. Definitely recommend
- Bella (4/5): - The hotel is in a great location. That's the best part. The room is meh. The shower doesn't have a curtain and is advertised as a "family" room, but no one can take a shower when somebody is in the room. I have to kick everyone out so I can shower. The toilet is out in the hall, which is ok because we knew that in advance. I just didn't expect the ensuite shower to not have a curtain or something. But the worst part is that the room reaks with CIGARETTE smell. I had to open the window in the cold night so I can sleep without putting on a mask.
- Dude (10/5): - Good location. Bar tender in the restraint seemed like he hated Americans, but i hate myself so i get it.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a really clean, well-run hotel in a very good location - right next to the Metro and in a pleasant residential area. It's above a brasserie-bar but on the second floor there was very little noise (except the odd door banging). The only downside is the shared toilet.
- Courtney (8/5): - Not too bad of a stay. Really cute restaurant in the front and convenient for getting around as the metro is across the street. Only problem was the lack of AC and didn’t get a fan until night 3 (survived heat wave of Europe 2019...with that said, almost no where has AC in Paris). Overall simple and easy place !
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I stayed one night. The room was clean and modern and fine to come back to sleep after a day walking around Paris. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
- Joanna (8/5): Ideal place to stay. - Great place to stay and the staff were very friendly. Metro was just across the road so access to central Paris was very easy. Had a meal in the hotel bar on the second night which was very good and great value for money.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The rooms are clean and staff is very kind. The rooms are basic but good value for money.
- Mr Daniel John Eddie (8/5): Good value for money - Good value for money. Surrounding area was a little messy but hotel was clean and comfortable.
- Hannah (10/5): - Nice place to stay. Comfortable and quiet. The rooms are on the small side which is expected in Europe but comfortable beds and very clean. Neighborhood has cafes and restaurants with metro right across the street. Nice place for the price.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is my fifth straight year I have stayed at Hotel Cafe de l'Avenir. Great hotel, excellent customer service and close to Metro.
- Jayker (2/5): Worst hotel in the world - Worst place. Room smaller than my car garage..we were made fools showing us different room and giving us a hell hole.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great for value. - Great for the value at time booked. Train and bus stop just across the street making it super easy to get into main attractions in Paris. Plenty of shopping and restaurants in walking didtance of hotel. Smoking is allowed in rooms so be aware incase you need smoke free for medical reason. Also shower is in room but you share toilet with others on floor.
- Nave (10/5): Lovely little hotel in a great neighbourhood! - Upon arriving in Paris I was slightly concerned when the taxi driver told me that the hotel was outside of the city! I need not have worried as this hotel was a great little place in a picturesque neighbourhood, meer steps from Garibaldi metro station. We were greeted outside the entrance of the bar/restaurant and escorted inside to check in, which in turn was an easy process led by the manager who was very friendly. The room was small but had everything we needed, apart from a toilet that happened to be directly opposite our room (we were aware of this when booking the room but as it may be an issue for some guests, there are certain rooms that do have all of the facilities). The room itself was modern and immaculate with a great view, there is also a park and a lovely church on the opposite side, along with a street lined market at the weekend. After long days scouring the city, coming back to the hotel was a pleasure as we would spend the remainder of the night in the bar. The staff were very accomodating and friendly despite our limited french (a special mention to Mehdi who translated everything for us, especially when we requested to leave our luggage on our last day, which they were more than happy to do). We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it! The next time I'm in Paris, I will definitely be staying here :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): Small place in the heart of a busy city - Very friendly staff. Small place. 35 min from Gare de Lyon. Pretty basic hotel, good for an overnight stay.
- Kristen (10/5): - Spent one night here. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Room was small, but perfect size for a couple. Toilet was just across the hall, and very clean. The cafe/bar downstairs was lively. Hotel located on a great street, near lots of banks, restaurants, other services. Directly across the street from subway station - perfect! Awesome experience, definitely a great place for the price. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
- Dmitri (10/5): Complete Satisfaction - No claims. Very good hotel in a right place.
- Maria E (6/5): - The hotel hallways are very narrow and the light are not handy. No having a bathroom in the room is very uncomfortable.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Basic hotel, close to metro - I did not like that the bathroom did not have a door - no privacy at all. There was no toilet in the bathroom, this was shared with other rooms on the floor. Worse the toilet did not have a sink so not possible to wash hands before leaving the toilet. I liked that the Hotel very close to metro, and shops, about 30 mins from Gard du Nord. Wifi stopped working on last day, the staff were not bothered (just shrugged at me) luckily a customer in the bar overhead and reset the box, got it working.
- Ed (8/5): - Clean hotel conveniently located across the street from the Metro. Good selection of nearby restaurants, marketplace, and businesses
- Ashish (8/5): Location of this hotel is its uniqueness - Hotel is just in front of Metro/Bus station. Hotel staff was very friendly and helped us all the ways possible. Rooms were on a smaller side but overall it was a good experience. Food at the cafe was very tasty and pocket friendly.
- Madison (10/5): - A little loud at night but overall the service and friendliness was wonderful- would certainly recommend!
- Lynn (10/5): Sport or leisure - Located in an interesting area of Paris, with the RER station on the doorstep and easy travel distance to Stade de France. What made the stay so pleasurable was the welcome from the staff and the friendly service at the bar and local restaurants
- Verified traveler (8/5): Wonderful!! - Wasn't able to drop my bags early, but that was the only bad thing about the stay. Very clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, given the closeness of the place to the metro (literally across the street), which was incredibly convenient. ~25 min ride into the main tourist attractions.
- Ed (8/5): Nice Affordable Hotel Near Metro - This was the third consecutive year that I stayed at Hotel cafe de l'Avenir and I would give it strong recommendation. The hotel is located in St Ouen and is located literally across the street from a Metro station. The commute to the central city is only 15-20 minutes. The hotel is across the street from a patisserie and a McDonald's and a short walk from other businesses such as a store and bars that offer entertainment. The hotel itself is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. I would give the hotel good recommendations based on my experiences.
- Maggie (10/5): Amazing stay - Second time staying here. It's in a wonderful location, super clean, is a great value and the staff are very kind and welcoming. You couldn't go wrong with booking your stay here.
- Natalie (10/5): - Clean room, good facilities and warm welcome from owner, will recommend.
- Kristine (10/5): Comfortable bed near metro - The staff upon arrival was really friendly. The room was small and the shower was tiny, but the bed was pretty big and comfortable. We didn't stay in the room much, but for the price and location, this hotel is highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Ahmad - Small hotel with a good neighbourhood.
- Jocelyn (4/5): Far from city center - Small room and toilet. No elevator. Hallway narrow and dim
- Verified traveler (2/5): Too narrow look like birds cage - No good. Doublebooking overlapped,No staff after midnight.
- Danielle (8/5): Good hotel, area 'dodgy' - Took my 2 young boys to Paris and stayed here. Hotel not the easiest to locate due to it being a cafe/bar and the hotel sign being small. Staff very friendly and most understood English. Had to pay local tax on arrival (even tho the booking stated i had paid this...i will be taking this up with hotels.com as they do not pass the taxes onto the hotel so you pay twice!!). Room comfortable and clean but no added extras (i.e. hair dryer or kettle). Was quiet on the 2nd floor. Good but basic breakfast for the price, no fruit or cereal (also not included as stated it was on the website!). Location is good for the metro but on our first morning we witnessed a fight in mcdonalds opposite with a local and a begger. Not what i wanted my children to see! Many beggers in the area and at the metro stations around the area.
- Di (8/5): - Very friendly & helpful staff although lack of an ensure toilet was a let down
- louisa (6/5): No frills hotel - Convenient location, lots of narrow stairs typical of European hotels. Single room with private bath was small but comfortable.
- Sandeep (2/5): - Rooms don't have attached WC (toilets) and only one in a floor is available which is shared and cleaned ones in a day. Toilets paper missing many time. Room size and mainly bathroom is very small
- young couple (8/5): Nice hotel - Close to metro station. Friendly staff and made us feel like at home.
- Kerem (8/5): Very affordable nice hotel - This was my third stay at that hotel. Comparing with the price what it offer is perfect.
- Verified traveler (4/5): I hope you have better luck than I did - They were very friendly, at any rate, but the hotel was essentially operated out of the first-floor restaurant (i.e., the bartender managed all transactions for the rooms themselves). It used punchcodes to get into our rooms and to get into the hotel after hours, which essentially meant that the hotel was almost completely unmanned after midnight. The overall condition of the hotel rooms was stellar, so I can't fault them there. No scuffed walls, no peeling paint, everything in place. On the surface, it looked great. But the maintenance from housekeeping only seemed to involve cleaning, not restocking supplies. Soap for the shower came in little packets, and they were NOT replaced, even though it was clear I was running out. And since I got back late each night, I didn't have any clear way of dealing with the absence of soap. I also didn't have anything more than hand towels for my last two evenings. Oops. But the real coup de grace--and it kills me to point this out--were the bedbugs. Yes, despite the immaculate appearance, there is no way that there WEREN'T bedbugs. This can happen in the best of hotels, but the relative minimum oversight of the rooms--particularly odd considering it isn't the greatest of neighborhoods (though the Garibaldi metro stop is conveniently across the street)--means that the condition of the hard-as-a-rock mattresses goes untended. And I like firm mattresses, but it goes without saying that I'm no fan of critters living in them!
- Hernan (4/5): Very hot and unconfortable stay. - The hotel has no air conditioned and it was 35° C in Paris! Neighbourhood seems to be dangerous, while it is very close to the tube station. But about 5 blocks again it is a dirty zone with homeless people and many others selling in the street all kind of objects, that we can at least doubt about their legal origin. Shower towel was never changed during the 4 days stay. I asked at the front desk to do so, and they did not seem very convinced on the rationale of my request. The hotel is in a noisy area, so it was hard to sleep because I either keep windows open for a little of fresh air and I heard the noise or I skip noise but I had to tolerate even hotter environment. I was lucky enaugh to get a room with private bathroom, but be warned that there are others with shared toilets!!! It was hard to communicate in English with personnel.
- CHRIS (10/5): Great little hotel/bar - This is a brilliant place to stay. Fully refurbed rooms in the cafe bar/hotel. Go for room 24 right at the top with a view from the balcony. The staff made us feel part of the family and nothing was too much trouble. The 3 course food set menu at euros 13 was absolutely superb and amazing value. Also a nice breakfast in this buzzing bar with a great ambiance. The Garibaldi Metro is opposite and takes 7seconds to reach across the road!! Vincent and Sammy looked after us and were very helpful. We will be staying there again.
- Kerem (8/5): Very nice hotel comparing with the price - It was my second stay. Everything was fine. It is an ideal hotel if you are looking for a low cost alternative. It is located next to metro station, the line 13 is very convenient, etc. There is a Mc Donalds near by. I don't know why 50 characters should I write??? I will almost cancel my review. Expedia should change this 50 character limit.
- pierre (8/5): just enough for a short stay - Hotel is closed by my customer's location and at the Metro Station Gallieni. Great for 1 night.
- pierre (6/5): Good location Metro Garibaldi - This Hotel was the closest stay to my customer's. Room was clean only the shared toilets was quite obvious.
- David (10/5): Pearl in a great area - Wonderful little hotel in the 18th Arrondissement a few blocks from the Marche aux Puces market. I will be back!
- Keith (8/5): La France Profonde - Great location, a few metres from Garibaldi metro. Very friendly welcome, helpful staff. The hotel is above a really nice café / bar used by the locals, the real France not touristy at all. Also a good bakery / café across the street. Room was fine, double bed a little small, but that is common in Paris. Only complaint was that it was so COLD. It was a particularly cold spell, but our room was sub zero. They did try and fix us and gave us a third duvet for the bed, but it should have been warmer. Also no hot water one morning. However, it is a really good small hotel at a great price.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cute hotel - It's a cute hotel in the suburbs just outside Paris. It's directly across the street from the Metro, so it's pretty easy to get into the city, however the neighborhood around the hotel itself is not super nice. The hotel is directly on top of bar / restaurant and the reception area is in the bar, but the staff is very friendly and the bar closes at 12, so it doesn't really interfere with sleep. Rooms are small, but very functional.
- Jon (8/5): Cheap and cheerful - Very pleasant hotel that was easily accessible by metro.
- Verified traveler (8/5): clean, burget and great place - clean, friendly staff and near metro station
- Navreet and Matt (10/5): - The hotel was great! It was just steps away from the Garibaldi subway station. One day we walked from the hotel to the main tourist attractions (not a short walk but lots to see and experience on the way down.) The room size is the average of what you'd find in Europe. The staff was friendly and showed us to the room. There are a lot of fun restaurants/take-out places to try out around the hotel. We saved some money by deciding on a hotel away from the main tourist area but I wouldn't have it any other way. Overall this hotel was great for what we were looking for. The room was clean and no funky smells. You can go in and out at all times of the night.
- Ali (4/5): Good - Overall good hotel the only draw back is that rooms dont have toilet seats in the washroom and the washroom dont have door else every thing is superb. Specially the location just infront of station is awaome.
- John (10/5): friendly and helfness staffs, Metro is cross stree - I lost my purse by pickpocket in Metro subway on first day of Paris. The hotel staffs help me to ride police station then I could report it. I also could report amex's France office through hotel staff's personal phone. They help me anything I need.
- Anna (10/5): Pleasant hotel. - Terrific hotel. Very cozy. Rooms are clean and nicely furnished. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is perfectly okay. I walked around there at night. It's on the edge of town, not in the center of the city, but it's VERY convenient as the hotel is almost across the street from a metro station (Garibaldi). As a bonus, there is a cafe downstairs where you can sit indoors or outside. Overall a great experience. My only complaint is the smell of cigarette smoke in the room. I think it's because the windows may have been open some of the time, and people on the street directly below stand and smoke. I would still highly recommend.
- --- (10/5): Small but very nice - The hotel is in a nice location, right next to a Metro station, in a neighborhood that is neither very touristy nor dangerous. The staff runs the cafe as well and gave me a free coffee (fresh italian espresso, not Keurig!) when I came to check in. They put up with my poor French but spoke English when necessary. My room was very small, had a sink and shower but the toilet was in a very small closet down the hall. Everything was very clean, almost too clean, going with the "future" theme. If you can stand the small rooms (one- or two-star accommodations), I would strongly recommend it.
- Max (10/5): Great hotel for a young active couple on a budget - The café De l'avenir is right next to the Garibaldi metro station. This means that you can get right into the centre of Paris within 10 minutes. It's about an hour by metro/RTR from Charles De Gaulle, costs less than 10 Euros on the train. The staff are all very friendly - I was so impressed with just how welcoming they were when we first arrived with our bags. The hotel is a smart bistro style place, that does better food than the other local restaurants - lovely fresh salads and a reasonably priced plat du jour. Their wine and beer selection is great too, they attract a smart and pretty chilled crowd, and the music they play is great if you like Jeff Buckley type stuff (who wouldn't!) The local area is full of economical shops like Monoprix and LIDL, and there's a great market on Sunday. You're not far from the famous St Ouan flea market. I got my hair cut and beard trimmed at a local North African barbers for just 10 Euros, and they did a brilliant job, it's a lovely friendly integrated area. The décor is modern with a funky 'end of the world' vibe going on. The showers are clean (you have your own shower), and while you share a toilet, you rarely if ever see anyone else. I chose this hotel because it had such excellent reviews for its price bracket, and I was definitely not disappointed.
- Yap M (10/5): Small Boutique Hotel - Our stay in Paris at this Hotel made us feel at home and at ease from the original perception that we had on arrival. The staff are extremely friendly and speaks English. They are friendly and helpful which makes us feel like home. The Hotel is not in central Paris but just directly in front of Garibaldi Metro Station which makes up for convenience and etc. Don't forget to try their coffee ! We can it even from our rooms at 3rd floor ! The Hotel is only about 15 minutes away from Central Paris. Good location, friendly staff and value for money especially when you are in Paris !!!
- JKoolMann (8/5): A great place for a solo short stay - I went on a 3 day trip to Paris from Germany and selected this hotel due to it's cost and location being so close to a Metro. I arrived via car (do not recommend, I'd highly recommend taking a train in) to a not so great area, much graffiti and things around. I questioned a local about parking and was told there had been several break ins on the tiny side street i wanted to park on. Despite this the hotel itself was located in a fine area and was directly across the street from the Metro that would take you anywhere in Paris. I bought a pack of 10 tickets and didn't even end up using them all as I enjoy walking. The hotel was small but fine for a single person like me and was clean and well kept. The room was again small, but you'd expect that in a discount Paris hotel. The sheets were stained but seemed clean enough. The shower and toilet were clean as well and the lobby bar was a pleasing place with a good menu and alcohol selection. The staff was courteous and spoke English as well as French. The security of the hotel was acceptable, overall a great experience especially for the price!
- sara (10/5): - realy nice hotel. we had a great stay. the neighborhood was a little boring. but still we had a great time.
- Louise (8/5): Great hotel for the price - I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was conveniently located right across the Metro. The staff was great! The only negative was apparently all rooms were smoking rooms. As a non-smoker this was an issue for me.
- Ksenia (6/5): Paris for three day trip - We were in this hotel for three days. The room was extremely small, no toilet in the room and the door lock was without a key (one uses the code which is very simple). But it was a hot season in Paris and hotels were very expensive, so this one for us was ok. We were there for meeting, not for holidays.
- Gabby Martinez (10/5): Just across the street from Metro - The staff was friendly and helpful. They gave us insight on where to eat and where to drink. We are breakfast here on Monday and morning and it was delicious. The room looks like it was recently renovated. You have a shower and sink in your room but must share toilette with other guests. There is no shower curtain so if its more than one person you must feel comfortable around them. I would definitely book them again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to stay - I was really pleased to find such a nice place at such a good price. The hotel is outside the city center, but in a very vibrant neighborhood and right across the street from a metro station. Our room had a balcony looking out on the street, which was wonderful. The room was clean and recently updated and very comfortable. The staff were helpful and spoke excellent English.
- Jean-Michel (10/5): Great stay, Great personnel - Small but clean Room (comfortable bed). A bit far from downtown but the metro work great and it's almost in front of the metro entrance. Nothing to do around the Hotel. The bistro at the bottom sell cheap but good food. The best point is by far the warm welcome we recieved. All the staff was gentle and polite, always ready to help. I warmly recommand this destination for it's quality/ cost ratio and for the staff.
- Ronnie (10/5): It is a really nice HOTEL! - To be honest, I was a little afraid when I booked this hotel because a lot of people said, it was far from the city. However it is close to Garibaldi station, and it is like 20 mins away from everything. Nice neighborhood. The staff was great. They offered me a free drink, I would say everything was perfect.
- Edora (10/5): Friendly, Convenient & Clean - As the first time traveler, my husband and I found that the hotel is comfortable and relaxing, the staffs are absolutely helpful and friendly. Furthermore, the location is very convenient because it is very near to the metro station which is just in front of the hotel less than 20m beside the McDonald. We would love stay there again if we ever come back.
- Jenny (10/5): An inspirational experience. - A magical experience in what must have been one of the original monk's cells. But all beautifully (and classily) renovated. With a comfy bed too.
