    The only thing which is not perfect is that the toilet is very small. Could be a problem for large or tall people.

    Great location, modern and comfortable, late check out and great staff. The quarter between la Gare de Lyon and Bastille is very animated and being next to the metro and train station is super convenient.

    Taxi booked to take us to Gare de Nord charged a booking fee of 7 euros and had 11 50 euros on the clock when we got in! It cost €41 I was told by the hotel clerk it would be about €20 - €25 !

    Breakfast was a good selection. Bed was very comfortable and a good Size. Bathroom was small but adequate with a good shower. Staff friendly and helpful.

    The rooms are quite small, but they are well designed. The Gare de Lyon area is not terribly secure at night.

    The hotel is clean and being updated. The staff are polite and efficient. The room are modern and comfortable. The bed was narrow but comfortable. The location is convenient for public transport and train. Price is appealing.

    Excellent value for money. Great location. Tiny bathroom.
    • Leisure trip

    The room and bathroom were extremely small but this is typical for Paris. I had a small single room on the 6th floor (top floor). The room was tiny but I only used it for sleeping, so it was OK for me for a 3 day stay. The bathroom was extremely cramped. For taller persons and those needing more bathroom space, I recommend requesting a room with a larger bathroom.

    Excellent location. This recently renovated, nicely decorated, clean hotel is an easy 5 minute walk from the Gare de Lyon. My 6th floor room overlooking the side street was quiet, had no street noise, and had a charming French balcony. The bed was comfortable. There is an excellent French restaurant nearby that is a great value for money and that the locals go to: Le Bistro Lyonnais, 6 rue Michel Chasles 75012 Paris. The hotel breakfast cost 15 Euros, was convenient & had a good selection (fresh baguette, croissants, pain au chocolate, expresso/cappucino machine, fruit, yogurt, cheese, eggs, cold cuts, etc.). I would stay there again.

    We had to leave our key at the desk when out but they were quick to return it - even when busy with another guest.

    We had a very quiet and clean room and everything worked as expected. It is a great location just a block away from Gare de Lyon. The desk workers were very helpful and we were able to leave our luggage early before our check-in time.

    Nothing in particular to note, it was a great stay.

    It is right next door to Gare de Lyon, making it extremely helpful for getting an early morning train. Hotel breakfasts are always a toss-up, but the breakfast was surprisingly nice, with some hot eggs and bacon to accompany pastries, bread, cheese, yogurt, and fruit salad. The rooms were very clean and the shower and bedding are nice, which makes for a nice stay. Room is pretty small, but for 1-2 people is not a problem at all.

    The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because there aren't any tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms.
