The property itself is a bit sketchy but for 1 or 2 nights, it's fine. The location is very good - during the day. The Denfert Rochereau station is directly in front of the property so convenience to the Metro is excellent. At night is a different story. I'm from New York so I'm not squeemish about homeless people or druggies walking around the street. However, the Hotel itself is in desperate need of an upgrade. The hallway to our room looked like something out of a horror movie and you're basically betting on something otherworldly jumping out at you right before entering the room. While the room itself was satisfactory and clean, it too can do for an upgrade. What I really DISLIKED the most of this Hotel was the fact that the moment you walk in, there's a huge, steep flight of stairs. If you have large luggage, I wish you the best of luck getting up the stairs with it in tow. I won't even mention the elevator at the top of said stairs to get to the rooms because as is customary in Europe, you can only fit 2 people with no luggage or take turns going up the elevator 1 person and 1 piece of luggage at a time. Another detail is that they lock the door of the hotel at night which is good for security but bad if G-d forbid there's a fire or if you plan to leave the hotel in the early morning like we did (we had a 5 am train to London). Our room had a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower so it made up for the setbacks. I would recommend but only for a 1-2 night stay.

Excellent location near RER B and métro. Very friendly staff, arranged for our early check in at noon instead of 2pm. Rooms are small and storage limited, so not ideal when you have a lot of luggage. There is a flight of stairs to reach reception, then an elevator to the other floors.

Deceiving Information

The information about this hotel is not accurate. The lobby of this hotel is on the second floor and there is no elevator to get to the second floor but a narrow, curved and long staircase. If you are traveling with a heavy medium size luggage, you’re going to struggle going up the steps to just get to the lobby. And you have to do this every time you get in and out of the hotel. Even though it’s advertise a smoke free hotel, the lobby stinks of cigarette smell constantly. The elevator from the lobby to the other floors can only be used by one person at a time. There are no mini fridges or coffee makers in the less expensive rooms. And the view they advertise can only be viewed by one room on the top floor. At least the less expensive rooms are not carpeted and floors don’t look clean. Currently, there is construction on so scaffolding obstruct any view and there are loud noises starting at 8 am. No closet but a tiny area to hang 5 things. The showers leak out of the stall. One big PRO, the location is great. Easy access to train that goes to and from the airport. Steps only from a big metro line and supermarket and restaurants very close.

Bon rapport qualité prix pour cet hôtel idéalement situé place Denfert Rochereau. L'insonorisation n'est pas complète non plus car l'immeuble est ancien et on est à Paris intra muros, mais rien de déplaisant. La chambre est petite mais plutôt confortable

Summer family vacation.

Very nice service and rooms We’re comfortable and clean. Bigger than most Paris rooms we’ve stayed in. Stayed for 3 nights during a heat wave. No AC but they provided fans. One room the fan was good; the other the fan wasn’t very strong. Noisy with windows open (which was needed this week) but quieter with them closed. Breakfast was basic but good. It was in a nice neighborhood with lots of restaurants, monoprix and a metro stop. Close to catacombs if you’re visiting that and an easy metro ride to other attractions. Would stay again but maybe not in summer unless booking close to trip to look at weather. FYI if you have mobility issues, while they have a lift to access the hotel there is still a flight of stairs. We enjoyed our stay!

A localização do hotel é excelente. Fica ao lado da estação Denfert-Rochereau. Boa vizinhança, com boas opções de alimentação, supermercados e acesso aos pontos turísticos da cidade. O staff do hotel foi muito simpático e amigável. Entretanto, ao meu ver o café da manhã incluído na reserva não e adequado. As porções servidas pela funcionária do hotel são limitadas em quantidade e variedade. Acredito que este seja um ponto a ser melhorado. Também senti falta de um sistema de refrigeração do quarto ou de um ventilador.
