"The room was clean and modern with nice wooden floors. The metro station is one minute from the hotel and the train station is 15 minutes away by foot. The lobby staff are always busy because of a constant inflow of guests. However, they speak English and the check-in is easy once you get there. There are a pharmacy, supermarket, and laundry very close to the hotel. It takes about 20-30 minutes from hotel to get to the touristy sites. Nevertheless, I think this is a great place to stay for the price for those willing to work a little to get to the heart of Paris. The air conditioning works well, particularly in the recent awful heatwave."
