    Right next to Gare de Lyon for an early morning train; nice breakfast

    Nothing in particular to note, it was a great stay.

    It is right next door to Gare de Lyon, making it extremely helpful for getting an early morning train. Hotel breakfasts are always a toss-up, but the breakfast was surprisingly nice, with some hot eggs and bacon to accompany pastries, bread, cheese, yogurt, and fruit salad. The rooms were very clean and the shower and bedding are nice, which makes for a nice stay. Room is pretty small, but for 1-2 people is not a problem at all.

    The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because there aren't any tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms.

    This is my favourite hotel for my stays in Paris, clean, calm , comfortable and friendly staff.

    Nothing I didn't like but I would only give it a 10 if they provided tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms.

    This is my preferred hotel in Paris, close to the Gare de Lyon, lovely decor, comfortable, quiet and clean. And the staff are pleasant, helpful and always available.

    Comfortable stay in the heart of Paris
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    I had paid the room in advance through Booking.com, but I was asked to pay a 'caution' of 68 euros on top of this. Is this now mandatory in all hotels in Paris? I was told that the money would be put back on my credit card the following afternoon. It took until yesterday - one week from my arrival the the hotel - to clear from my credit card. This is unacceptable.

    The room was clean and compact. Well-decorated in a them that suits a station hotel. I had everything I needed.

    The bedroom was cold and took a long time to warm up! Breakfast room is too small and tables too close together.

    Large modern room with comfortable bed. Location was convenient next to train station.

    The wall are very thin, you can hear the people in the other rooms talking, going to the bathroom, couch, sneeze etc.

    The staff were very nice ! It was clean ! I did a round check for bedbugs as Paris has had its history and found nothing but a clean mattress and clean room ! I was more than satisfied ! The windows are soundproof, making Parisien traffic feel inexistant !

    A good hotel in a good location, just waiting for our deposit to be refunded,

    The walk in shower was huge and could easily have been smaller, which would have given more space in the tiny bathroom. A separate toilet was appreciated, but it was also a tight squeeze! Even though we paid in advance we were still charged an extra €80 on arrival. We were told this was a deposit (a deposit when we had already paid ???) and that it would not be charged to our credit card. However, a week later and the €80 charge is still shown on our card.

    All previous reviews mentioned how small the bedrooms were, so we were quite surprised to find we had a room bigger than we expected - and with a small balcony! However I think we were just lucky as our friends' room was much smaller than ours.

    The room was a bit small. If you bring a big suitcase, maybe you can’t open it. But it’s not a big problem because there are a lot of other good point.

    The location is very good. I came back hotel a bit lately but this hotel is near the station so I didn’t feel scared. And also the be, bathroom is nice. I didn’t imagine I could stay these good hotel in Paris.

    I had a fight with the desklamp which was exactly at head-height.

    Very close to Gare de Lyon where I arrived late at night. Cute little room. Proper Paris view out of the attic window.

    When I arrived the room had an overpowering smell of solvent, like paint cleaner. Maybe insecticide? I had to open the windows wide to let in some air, even though it was -3 deg C outside. There was no hot water. The engineers were trying to fix it.

    Clean, v close to Gare de Lyon, helpful staff.
