Hi Matic  

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed it a lot. Very new (opened April 2011) -everything appeared to be untouched! It has its own character, check-in and check-out are automated. No need to deal with receptionists! Breakfast are organic and very tasty bread-butter-marmelade-juice-fruits- yoghurt (ask for the cherry, if available!). Coffee is free of charge during breakfast -from vending machine. The lady taking care of the breakfast area is kind. The location is superb, a vivid and lively neighbourhood, three mins walk from Cheronne metro (central line) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Μείναμε για μια εβδομάδα και πραγματικά το απολαύσαμε. Πολύ καινούριο (άνοιξε Απρίλιο 2011), τα πάντα φαινόταν άθικτα! Έχει το δικό του χαρακτήρα, το check-in και check-out είναι αυτοματοποιημένα -κανένα νταλαβέρι με ρεσεψιονίστ! Το πρωινό είναι οργανικό και πολύ νόστιμο ψωμί-βούτυρο-μαρμελάδα-χυμούς φρούτων-γιαούρτι (ζητήστε με κεράσι, εάν υπάρχει!). Ο καφές είναι δωρεάν κατά τη διάρκεια του πρωινού -από μηχάνημα αυτόματης πώλησης. Η κυρία που φροντίζει την αίθουσα πρωινού είναι ευγενική. Η τοποθεσία είναι υπέροχη, μια ζωηρή και ζωντανή γειτονιά, τρία λεπτά με τα πόδια από τη στάση μετρό Cheronne (κεντρική γραμμή)

Excellent location (3mins from metro Charonne, 10mins walking to Bastille). Thumbs up for an eco hotel. Right next to bars, restaurants & cafes. Breakfast - organic but slightly poor - at excellent hours from 5:30 till 11:30. Very clean rooms. WiFi throughout the hotel. Big and comfy mattress, although on the floor. Safe deposit box. Friendly staff. Design very nice and colourful. Best for young people. Self-check in, ecological.

Not value for money: 110 euro for a very small and basic room. No TV. No curtains to the window so the room was visible from the outside. No privacy for the shower. No bed, mattress on the floor, but very big and comfortable. No closet, only storage over the mattress. Need to travel light.

Excellent location. Love the concept bio, organic, etc, love the environment... Very cool !! Extremely clean !! Loved the mattress on the floor... Very comfortable. Very good breakfast and the service/staff very polite.

Quirky. Beds are futon style and very comfortable. The hotel theme is envionmentally friendly. It translates as colourful minimalism and wooden cutlery. Good business model. Despite a low overhead offering it feels like good value. If they keep the place well decorated and clean and increase light levels in the bedrooms it works.

Tiny bedrooms. Tiolet cubicle is open to the the room. Booked 2 rooms; a double and twin. For reasons stated both only suitable for single occupancy but as such are good value.

Unusual experience. Colour and design refreshing. Breakfast good. Great location

Lack of privacy of bath room design. Room far too small.

Decor was modern, wifi was fast, and the shower was fantastic.

Room was a little tight, no curtains on the windows.

Convenience to the bus. Quiet. Breakfast Access to Internet. Freshness & cleanliness. Big enough mattres for children to fit on too. We slept well & enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Needs window coverings. Needs remote control so tv can work. A security safe that works. Some warning that there is no bed & the mattress is on the floor.

The room was extremely clean! The location is great, close to bars, cafes, restaurants. It is a more alternative, less touristic area where young people hang out. It is very lively at night. Also close by there are some nice shops, you can walk to some major attractions but also take the bus in front of the hotel that takes you to Louvre directly. I would recommend this hotel especially to young couples and backpackers..

The room was small and the breakfast was not so rich

Everything was electronically - check-in etc.. You even have to enter a code so that the entrance door opens. No person at the front desk. The room was very small - the bed was literally on the floor. It was absolutely noisy!!! I could not sleep for 3 nights!! No space for a computer, no chair - internet was not working..no phone in the room..and all that for a very high price of 130 Euro. Absolutely disappointing!!!!

This hotel claims a lot about so called modernity, design, respect to the environment, durability. In fact the following things shocked us: there was a leak in the sink of the bathroom which drained into the trash box. There seems to have been forgotten things at construction and there was a big hole in the ceiling for the fire safety box as well as strange hanging cables just at the feet in the so called futon bed (even not as comfortable as a poor sofa bed) for wiring the tv. I prefer stopping here and not talk about the breakfast with its "bio" cholocate bar whose ingredients are imported from South America....

Nothing really.

I stayed in Hotel Charone about a year back. It was plesant. That was the reason I choose it under the new owenship. Now it has changed to HiMatic for the worst. No receptionist anywhere, the bed is on the floor which is difficult to sleep, the shower is so poorly designed that it is difficult to get in or out for even a 73 kg 178cm man like me. The breakfast is very poor and the staff attending the breakfast need to learn manners. I would not stay there ever and will recommend my friends not to go there at all.

The breakfast was excellent

Rooms were a little bit small

very clean hotel, breakfast was also very good & good location.

all the beds were a mattress on the floor not @ all comfortable, would not stay there again no remote for tv, not good enough for a new hotel.
