Has a microwave. Internet station wasn't working. Can buy drinks from the reception.
Laundromat on same street (less than 5 minutes walk). Supermarket, department store, cafes and photo development store within 5 minute walk. Post office is 10 minutes walk away. Metro station less than 5 minutes walk. Suburb had a great atmosphere.
Check in is 4pm (can deposit luggage earlier). The French lady running the place was less than impressed when I arrived at 8am. But the receptionist organised for me to get in to my room at midday. The receptionists speak very good English.
I booked through www.hostels.com as you can't book directly through Hotel Richard.
For a very cheap hostel/hotel I was very impressed.
I was very impressed that my room had shelves. I never like to put things in drawers, but with the shelves I could lay my stuff out without risking leaving any of it behind.
