Comments: It was incredibly difficult to find this hotel, especially if you are trying to reach it late at night. You are then welcomed by unsmypathetic staff, and leaky showers.

Comments: It had very poor directions. We reccommend updating the directions to the hotel. It was well out of Paris, however, it was clean and private and good value.

Comments: For the price, this was a great hotel (given that it's 30 euros a night in Paris). However, you have to take a separate train to get back into Paris that only comes every 15 minutes. The room is very bare bones as you would expect: no phone, small beds, strange shower and my toilet was acting strangely. The staff is great though, and they speak excellent English.

Comments: take some information about the transport, because if you think about saving money by choosing an hostel which is far away from the Paris' center, you can have some surprise by the cost of you're travels.

Comments: Can not recommend this place to anyone. Due to the man working on the front desk. I have never had someone act so rude towards me before. He refused to look us, simply taking our booking reciept and after a few minutes slamming our payment receipt on the desk as if to try and intimidate us. We had been nothing but polite. He was an older person, 40 to 50, short dark hair, working the late shift. Its disapointing such a rude person can keep his job while there is unemployment.

Comments: It is a hotel with an hotel environment. About 40 minutes on the RER C to get to the center of Paris. Internet is available at 3 euros for 15 minutes. No WiFi. It was nice to have a room all to myself again. Cheap price in an expensive city; however, it is in a suburb of Paris.

Comments: This is a hotel with nothing included. The sheets had holes, you had to hold the shower head, and the staff was rude because we didn't speak french. It is also very far from the tourist attractions of Paris.

Comments: This is a hotel miles out of town. The staff were great and everything was clean. To get there you have to get a tram to the end of the line, then a bus, then there's a walk from the bus stop, and the last bus is about 9pm so if you're out later than that you'll be paying 15 euro for a taxi. Aside from the horrible location everything else was fine.

Comments: good value for money. generally nice hotel. pity about the location, but if planned correctly, you can get on the right line on the rer and not have to change, which makes much lighter work of an otherwise tedious journey.

Comments: This hotel was a great base for exploring paris on a budget, it isn't in the centre but it's only a 45 min journey from the door of the hotel to the centre. The actual place is lovely as well, one evening we had a walk down to the river there and all along the seine, so if you want to see Paris an a budget, this place is for you!

Comments: the rooms where ok. you get what you paid for including your own shower and they clean your bed every morning. but otherwise we got robbed in the underground traveling to epenai sur seine the neighborhood was quite criminal. at the police station the police said take care of your luggage especially your id-cards. music-players, phones or they will got stolen, even in the hotel.

Comments: Great place, I really enjoyed it. The positive parts were that it was very nice to have a very cheap room that was clean and very friendly staff with security and quiet place to sleep. It is a hotel so you will not have the social life that you would in a hostel, and it is a LONG train ride from Paris. There is one market down the street, but not many places to eat or shop and the location is not the safest part of town, but by no means are you in the ghetto. If you plan to stay for a while, get the visit transit pass for the buses and trains it will make your stay much easier. Oh, and even though the Internet costs are high, we weren't able to find a cheaper alternative.
