All the scathing reviews of this hotel would have you believe that it's a terrible place. That wasn't my experience. Yes, the hotel is a bit run down and has seen better days, but I found it to be perfectly serviceable, the beds adequate, the bathroom (although tiny and oddly laid out, with a shower you almost had to climb into) odd but functional. For the price and location it's still hard to beat. No, it's not luxury, and yes, the bedspreads have holes, but surely you didn't come to Paris to hang out in your hotel room all day. The room was adequate for our needs and reasonably priced.
