TL:DR - Not perfect but great where it matters and I'd definitely stay there again. The Detail - The hotel's location is in a normal, working class area or Paris. It's fine, I never felt unsafe. Local bars & restaurants are good. Nearest Metro (Ledru Rollin) is about 7-10 minutes walk, Gare De Lyon 12-15 minutes. Hotel public areas are a little tired & scuffed up. My room was plain but everything worked & was spotlessly clean. Bathroom good, shower had excellent water pressure but was a little slow to drain. Not a big problem. The air con was brilliant, I actually had to back it off a bit, despite it being quite warm outside. Bed linens & towels spotless. Free hotel internet was pretty slow - I wouldn't be able to use it for work. The staff were friendly, helpful. I needed an ice pack keeping cool for keeping medicine chilled on my onward journey & this was accommodated without hesitation. The biggest disconnect is between the public photo's and the reality. They must show the best room, just after a refresh. I'd really like their website designer to revise my Tinder profile. That's not to say the hotel is bad....it's not. Just a little plain and in need of an update. It offers great value for money, I'd definitely stay there again and I'd recommend it. Oh, I've just remembered the safe. I couldn't get it to lock and it wasn't secured to anything anyway. I could put under my arm and walk off with it! But I never felt like my possessions were at risk.
