Everyone was kind, helpful, and amazing. From the initial welcome to the final goodbye (where I debated hugging the manager). Even though I was a stranger, they treated me like family. My room had a comfortable bed and pillows, a safe and a mini-fridge. The bathroom had everything one needed (plenty of hot water) and I made good use of the iron and the table-top ironing board. The room was small, but it was so well organized that it did not feel small. I also loved having a window (with the Juliette balcony) that I could open to let in some fresh air. My room overlooked… I’m going to call it an inner courtyard, so it was very quiet. There was also a central heating/cooling system with adjustable controls. The only thing the visitors should be prepared for are the stairs — they will have to drag their suitcases up (in my case) two flights of stairs. However, M. F. was there to help. I don’t know if I would have felt safe being in the area alone at night. I usually returned before dark. Early mornings in the area are quiet. The hotel has easy access to the metro, but I walked everywhere, so did not use it during this trip. I loved discovering the streets of Paris. I did not partake of the reasonably-priced breakfast, because I preferred to eat alone in my room. There are many restaurants, grocery stores, and even a Fruit Palace near the area. Cutlery was provided. I honestly cannot recommend this hotel enough and would be happy to return again on a future visit.

The hotel was excellent. It was conveniently located from the Strasbourg St Denis Station which is an interchange for line 4, 8 and 9, giving you direct access to Les Halles, Opera and Champs Elysee and Trocadero without having to change trains. The station and area were lively even at midnight so you wouldn’t have to worry about walking late in the night from the station to the hotel. It is definitely worth it for time is money when you travel. In terms of the rooms and amenities, the triple room we stayed in is spacious by Paris standard with two beds and is located on an annexed building facing the quieter inner court, although at the price of some walking up the stairs. Equipped with a TV, a closet with coat hangers, a desk, a safe and refrigerator, you wouldn’t have to worry about storing the food you buy during your trip, which is great as not all hotels in Paris come with a refrigerator. The bathroom was pristine and adequately-sized with a large mirror, heating, hairdryer and good lighting. As for the service, we were always supplied with clean towels and sufficient toilet papers, and it always feels refreshing to come back to a well-polished room after a tiresome day of sightseeing. What most impressed us, however, was the personnel there, all of them was exceptionally helpful, assisting us with carrying the luggage up the stairs and calling a taxi to airport. We are so tempted to book this place again if we ever return!

The friendly reception staff were amazing and made a huge difference to our 3 day Paris trip - great advice for getting to tourist spots (routes & travel) and places to eat. The hotel is basic, very clean and positioned very close to the Metro (2 mins walk away). If you need a room just to sleep in the evenings, this is the place to stay.

From the moment I arrived, I was so welcomed by the staff! There are a lot of stairs and the elevator only goes to some of ithe floors because the hotel is actually two old buildings joined together. But the front desk helped me, arthritic knees and all, to get my bags up to my room on the fifth floor. I was late to breakfast on the second day, but they let me eat and drink, anyway! It's a good thing, too, because I never got lunch. My wallet was stolen so I spent all day making police reports, shutting off my credit cards, and going to the embassy for an emergency passport. When I got back to the hotel, where I'd left my bags, the guys at the front desk listened to my story and insisted on getting me tea and encouraging me to take some food from the fridge in the breakfast dining room. So kind, and above and beyond!

Jewel in the middle of the city
Simply a wonderful throwback hotel! The staff were absolutely fantastic - I mean just wonderful. The room we had was excellent, great size for an older style European hotel (it was actually larger than expected), it had a great view of the city AND a balcony (so needless to say my wife was ecstatic). It also had A/C and a 1/3 size fridge to store leftovers and cold drinks. That being said, there are a number of steps from the main floor hall (street access) to the hotel's main desk ...... not a deal breaker but something you be aware of if you require a lift or have trouble with stairs. Second thing, this is managed like a old time hotel - so they still use ACTUAL room keys, that you must turn into the front desk every time you leave the hotel (not a big deal but something to be aware of). To sum it up - we stayed for 13 days and loved every minute of it. I would stay here again in heartbeat (and very likely will next summer).

excellent inexpensive hotel
An excellent inexpensive hotel for a family holiday in Paris. Clean, quiet, 50 meters to the metro. There are many supermarkets nearby. Refrigerator in the room. The downside is that the sweet breakfast is not tasty, but thanks to the large number of cafes nearby this is not a problem. Entrance to the hotel is only by calling the receptionist - it would be more convenient to open the door yourself using the key.

Great price, fantastic owners, central location
My wife, two children and I just got back to the U.S. from a trip to Paris for 6 days and stayed at the Hotel Cosmotel. The rooms are small as you would expect in Paris, but extremely clean and comfortable. We had a room with two queen beds and they were just the right level of softness. You can open the window to let in a cool night breeze. There is good maid service each day, although she kept forgetting the toilet paper for some reason. When you walk out the door of the hotel, turn right. The area to the left is not so good and there isn't really much in that direction anyway. There is a Lidl supermarket and numerous pharmacies right across the street so we could fill our small fridge with water bottles and fruit. There is a great place to grab a gyro or kabob platter 1/2 block away called "Chou Chou" and the food is good. McDonalds and KFC a block away but come on, you are in Paris! Great bakeries within two blocks of course. 25 minute walk to Louvre, Notre Dame, etc. just like it says, but we took metro everywhere, which is only a block away. But the best part of the hotel, by far, is the owner and his assistant. One of them is always at the front desk every morning all day long, and if you let them know what you plan on doing, they will pull out a map and highlighter and tell you how to get there, what not to miss, and other valuable tips to make each day's exploring that much more pleasurable. These two men are fantastic! I'd say more but out of room*****

Not safe neighborhood.
The area around the hotel is in a sketchy neighborhood, we couldn't find an elevator to get to the reception and to lug our luggage up a flight of steps. The staff ask you return the key if you go outside of the hotel, not sure why. Its not a place you stay if you wish enjoy your vacation, its an overnight place to sleep, that's about it.

Amazing people work in this hotel, they are friendly, helpful, always smiling and very attentive. I want to really emphasize how great the team of staff in this hotel is. Thank you everyone, you made our stay very welcoming. The hotel is not very comfortable itself, I wouldn't stay here again because it is not worth the money with the utilities and conditions you stay in. The location is really bad, it is at a very risky area of Paris and scared me a lot as a young female.

For other trips, the Metro station is within a 5minute walk and made is really easy for our family to get around the city. The rooms were comfortable and clean and had all we needed as a family. The biggest positive of the hotel was the staff. They were all so welcoming, friendly and helpful and really added to our experience.
