I found this small hotel online when looking for an affordable yet safe and comfortable place to stay. It met the mark for us. The staff was friendly and always helpful and I liked that was someone at the front desk around the clock (which also meant our late check-in was not a problem). We included breakfast in our rate, and it was a nice, serve-yourself spread offered just off the lobby every morning. There is a small lift, so you don't have to drag your bags up the stairs, but note it just fits one person plus their suitcase at a time. The rooms are also truly tiny, but ours had a nice bathroom/shower and was clean. Anyway, small is the norm in many older European buildings and it didn't bother us. There are restaurants, bakeries and other shops all around. The Metro station is just a half-block away and it's an easy 20-30 minutes to the main Paris sites. If you are looking for a fancy hotel with all the conveniences, this is not your place. But if you don't mind older and simple, this one is clean, affordable-enough and it suited us just fine.
