This hotel is definitely A-OK. It is a to-the-point, clean, bare necessities kind of hotel, so if you're looking for a place that dazzles and surprises you, do not come here. It reminded me of a nicer hostel where everyone has their own room. My mom and I considered getting another hotel after seeing this place, but we decided not to because who goes to Paris just to hang out inside of their room? It was clean enough and the beds were comfortable, so we decided to stay. The prices aren't bad either, especially for the location. The hotel is RIGHT next to the Gare de Lyon, so it's a perfect spot to be if you're planning on using the local transportation (i.e., Metro, train system, taxi, bus). There's plenty of decent restaurants and brassieres around, and it's within walking distance (although my mom might disagree) to many of Paris' famous sights. All of the receptionists were incredibly nice and helpful. We didn't get the breakfast that was offered each morning. We preferred to get breakfast someplace around Paris.
This hotel is excellent for the young traveler who is looking for simple, affordable sleeping arrangements. I would stay here again if I were on a budget. read more
