The hotel has 50 rooms spread over 6 floors (it does have a lift) in a characterful old Parisienne town house with little touches of elegance. Rooms are fairly basically furnished, as expected at the cheaper end of the market, slightly shabby but spotlessly clean. I struck lucky with being assigned a family room for my 2-night single stay, and so ended up with a huge space which I didn't really need, therefore I can't comment on the standard rooms.
Price-wise this was at the lower end of the market and my 69 Euro single rate (booked direct) included a simple, but more than adequate, self-service breakfast with as much coffee as you want plus orange juice, cereals, croissant, bread roll, cheese, salami and preserves - all the usual stuff (tho' I should note that on both my mornings I was first up and so whilst it was in tip-top condition then, I don't about later). The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi which is another plus (but I hadn't travelled with my laptop this trip and so can't comment on that either).
The reception staff are friendly, helpful and multi-lingual and check-in and check-out nice and simple.
The only minor grumble that I can contribute is about the plumbing. There was a separate WC and shower/bath room. The WC was fine but the plumbing in the other room was definitely quirky. The sink was almost elegant, being a glass bowl on a black pedestal with chomework supports. However it leaked when I first ran the water. Loking to see why I found that the drainage hose was a bit of loose concertina plastic tube running into what should have been the drain pipe but was slightly off-target and so I had to adjust it myself. The shower option was the hose and rose type but with nowhere to affix it to the wall - but I prefer a bath anyway. So neither of these was a major problem.
Yep, the name and the plumbing aside, well recommended if the price is right!
One word of warning though - the advertised 24 hour bar doesn't seem to exist as such, but you are welcome to have a drink with the night manager!
