4.7We had a delightful stay at the hotel Castex. I have a small amount of French, and as soon as I tried to use it, the friendly hotel staff switched into English for me.
The rooms are tiny, but each does have its own bathroom with a tub/shower combination. Clever use of space provided ample storage for 2 large suitcases. Free Wifi a plus. The neighborhood can't be beat for an authentic Parisian experience - make sure you eat breakfast out at the nearby cafes. It will cost you much less than the hotel breakfast and the ambience is fabulous.
Try to stay at the back of the hotel - we were in the front and the trash trucks start very early in the morning during the week. All in all, a delightful Parisian city experience with helpful staff and clean rooms.
