"From the moment I saw the hotel to the moment I left it, I couldn't believe how great it was, especially for the price.
Immaculately clean, ridiculously good location, unbelievably quiet. Water temperature and pressure, working safe for valuables, friendly staff; everything was spot on with one exception.
I told the staff about a nasty smell coming from the bathroom, and they were very gracious in accepting my complaint.
Unfortunately, it seems that it is beyond their control; that when there is a signficant temperature shift and/or piles of rain as there had recently been, smells might emanate from the City sewers.
It is not a property of the hotel. Also bear in mind that I am quite sensitive to smells, and that I was here in May, when the weather is indeed changeable.
Bottom line is that I'm already planning my next visit to Paris and will again stay at the Roubaix, because it's worth hoping that I have better luck with the sewers; the hotel otherwise is a gem!
(I didn't have the breakfast, so I can't comment on that, but it's not expensive.)"
