What more could you ask for?

We found this hotel to be a great choice for someone who wants the convenience of easy access into the city without staying in the heart of the city. It was easy to arrive at the hotel from the airport (CDG) and buses and metro were just outside the door. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. They even let us store our luggage so we could do a bit more sightseeing after check-out. The beds were very comfortable with good mattresses and wonderful pillows. We did not eat breakfast at the hotel, but the area is full of cafes, small convenience stores and restaurants. This hotel is a great value!

Great hotel, convenient location.

I stayed at the Hotel for three nights after Christmas. The location is absolutely superb for all the transpot needs of a tourist. Opposite Gare L"est, the metro is outside the door, Gare Nord is three blocks away (Trains run to the airport). The front desk staff are friendly and all speak english, if you need it. Room s are compact, but clean and have a LCD TV and programable safe.. Breakfast is from 6.30-11am. Great food, great price. Down side, there is no work out room, even though one is advertised. I worked out by climbing the stairs, 8 floors. greta work out going up and down 30 times. I would stay at this hotel for my next vacation or business in Paris.

This is a budget hotel, but clean and confortable. The hotel was a round the corner from a Metro Station and Gare del Est Station. A few blocks from Gare de Nord (to go to the Airport) and the Le Open Tour Bus stop (Yellow line) was just around the corner. There were a lot of restaurants, caffes and stores in the area with reasonable prices and good food. I would stay in this hotel again!

It's exactly what it says on the tin, a 3* hotel. Nothing more & nothing less. +ve: - good location to access from Eurostar Station ( 5 min walk or 1 Metro stop ). - excellent metro connections. the hotel "sits" on a metro station. It has 3 lines. Very quick access to wherever you would like to visit. My room had great view of the Sacre Coer. DON'T MISS going there. - room small but clean. The bed was fabulous and so was the shower. - staff was friendly and helpful - breakfast was ... okish. Plenty of deli things but juices where totally artificial. Great bread of course and croissants! -ve: - do not walk around the area. It was not a pleasant site unless you are looking for middle-age "profesional ladies" at 2 pm! Get the metro the minute you exit hotel. Or take your changes :) - bed had only 2 pillows, not very comfy when you want to sit up and read or watch telly. - tv had only French channels & CNN & Russia news in English - no movie channels - bathroom towels very small. Shampoo was great. Conditioner / body lotion not provided. all in all a 3* standards. Will I go again? very unlikely will I reccomend it? you know the deal so it's your decision.
