4.0 star rating	Very clean in room	To small room fo two person (for exemp. n 21)//		17 August 2008
2.5 star rating	Very good location	En-suite impractical - The toilet was squeezed in between the bath and a radiator and so was very uncomfortable to use. The bath was a sit bath that was unusable by anyone over 5 foot - no shower. The pillows (only one each) were very thin, very hard and covered in some sort of plastic. We had great difficulty in getting any more from the reception and finally ended up with two of the same.		18 August 2008

4.0 star rating	excellent location, two metro lines in close proximity	unable to provide a coffee or breakfast before 7am,early flight meant we had to leave before breakfast was served		02 November 2008
4.0 star rating	Great location, very friendly Staff. very clean and well maintained. I will be recommending this Hotel to everyone. I will be staying again when travelling to Paris			04 November 2008
4.5 star rating	Good location. Pleasant staff.	Rooms quite cramped		04 November 2008
4.5 star rating	I found the hotel to be good with the Metro stations close by. The group I was with did not use the hotel other than to sleep in and as such it was very adequate. The main purpose of our visit was to explore Paris and as such it was a very good choice to select as a base for this purpose.	We were given a room on the sixth floor and the only adverse comment I could make is that the shower was basically a hand held one over a bath.		16 November 2008
4.0 star rating	excellent location, with two metro lines nearby.	rooms small, basic continental breakfast		22 November 2008
4.5 star rating	The hotel is in a great location. It is in the heart of the Latin Quarter and is very close to two metro stops. The staff was very helpful. In fact, they bent over backwards to be helpful. I would stay here again. You can also get wifi in some of the rooms and also in the lobby.	The room was comfortable, but it wasn't all that remarkable. It was quite plain and basic, but anyway who goes to Paris to stay in a hotel room? The wifi signal wasn't strong enough in my room. However, the staff did point out where I could get a good signal. If you are planning on using wifi, you should tell the staff when you book so they can put you in a room with a good signal.		26 November 2008

5.0 star rating	This hotel was centrally located. The room we stayed in had a good sized bedroom and large bathroom both of which were spotlessly clean. Also, the room was lovely and quiet. Breakfast was of a good standard. We thought the hotel was very good value for money. Would definitely stay there again.			12 December 2008
4.0 star rating	Metro is very close breakfast was cold food but variable and plenty	English is not widely spoken by the staff which makes communication for directions difficult. although we managed to struggle to an understanding.		10 December 2008

4.5 star rating	Good for choice of bistros nearby. Excellent for metro. Super breakfast. Friendly & efficient service. Great value	Lack of tea & coffee facilities in bedrooms. Hairdryer poor. Small bathroom. Bedrooms small		10 December 2008
3.5 star rating	Excellent location, generally good level of service with one unfortunate exception.	We were generally very satisfied. Unfortunately one of the receptionists was rather rude and unprofessional. He claimed we had taken more from the minibar than we had done and when I asked him to find out some information about bus departure times, he strongly indicated he required a generous tip in order to do so. The other receptionists were helpful and charming.		14 January 2009
3.0 star rating	Staff were helpful. Location was great. Would have been nice to have tea and coffee in the room. All in all, value for money in Paris. Would stay there again.			10 January 2009

3.0 star rating	very close to subway station; good location	noisy street		25 December 2009
2.5 star rating	24hour concierge is good as are the fresh towels every day but they really are minimum standards. The best thing about it is the location, a 5 minute taxi to notre dame which is the start of where all the tourist attractions are located.	One receptionist was particularly rude but I dont know his name. The shower was a joke, hardly any hot water, barely big enough for one person to stand in and was advertised as a bath too. There was no balcony as advertised. There were no lockers or chest of drawers for clothes and 5 hangers in the "wardrobe". The breakfast was tea/coffee, toast and cereal or yogurt. That was it. Very poor standard for a ?12 breakfast. We also requested a taxi to be ordered one night and it was clean that the receptionist ordered a taxi that he knew personally because we were ripped off and refused to pay. The taxi rank was only around the corner but it was raining and the far was ?7 when we were picked up. There was no bar as we were told either. I would not recommend this to anyone except those hard up for one night.	cathal jenkinson	16 January 2010
