71%Armstrong Hotel  

A little out of the way from the city centre but overall a great hotel. Staff was extremely helpful 24/7.

Its a bit out of the city but as a base it is excellent with a fantastic metro system just down the road and very helpful staff. not much of an atmosphere. Otherwise very enjoyable stay with basic rooms.

A good hotel close to the metro, grocery store, and a typical hotel. Nothing outstanding about it. But would stay there again even though it is a little ways out of the city, because Paris is so easy to get around.

Hotel is very close to a metro stop (you're into central Paris within 15 minutes), restaraunts, boulangeries and cafes. The breakfast buffet was very good. We would definitely stay here again.

A little out of Paris but right on Met line, not many places to eat dinner or breakfast, very cosmopolitan area to be staying in. Would recommend for a brief stay

I'd definitely stay here again. Looks like it's just been renovated, there's an area downstairs with internet access and a bar, near to the metro….clean, good quality accommodation and helpful staff.

The front desk managers were very nice and were willing to help but there's a lack of communication between maintenance and the front desk due to the fact that complains in the room weren't fixed.

It was close to the metro station which was helpful since it was a little far from the sights. It wasn't on a very clean street though. The room was clean. The staff was helpful, especially the one guy at the desk.

This place is a hotel, not a hostel, so don't expect to meet people or hang out there a lot. It's VERY nice for the money, and the location is quite good.

This hotel is ok. It is on the outskirts of Paris, so it is not in the best or safest location, but it is close to an underground station. The room, although small, was clean, and it was nice to get a break from the hostels for a few days.

Close to the metro and shops but beware it is on the opposite side of paris from the eiffel tower pompodou etc if youre looking to hang out and meet people this place is NOT for you! if you want to get a great nights sleep then this is your stopover. one big plus is the breakfast bar. for 8...

The hotel is quite a distance from the main attractions but the metro station is close. It's a very acceptable hotel and unlike many other places we have stayed in, the lift actually works!

The staff was very helpful, and the rooms were clean, safe, and had everything you would need (tv, phone, in-room safe, hairdryer). The second day of our stay there was a street market outside, which was a lovely surprise. It took about 15 mins on the metro to get to the Louvre, but the Metro system is easy to navigate. Would definately recommend this place.close

The walls are definitely thin, but other than that, it's a great stay, and totally worth the cheaper rates and metro rides than staying in the center of the city.

Metro to Central Paris, ie Louvre is about 15mins on Metro. Just need to swap trains at Nation but its really easy and didnt cause any hassles. Train to Disneyland is also from Nation station and it takes about 30 mins to get to Disney or one stop before Disney for the Shopping outlet at Val D'Europe. The hotel was very welcoming, room clean and secure. basic but all you could ask for with a city break. small wardrobe for storeage and safe within. only negative thing about the room was that the walls are quite thin and you can hear nearly every noise. earplugs at night sorted that out though but would not recommend leaving them at home. all in all i have no main complaints at all. free pool table and very friendly staff. location will bother some people as its not right on top of the main locations but for the price you pay its hardly a hassle to jump on subway for 15 mins. McDonalds is 2 mins from hotel for the less adventurist tourist and there are plenty of take away food places and cafe type places too. we didnt spend much time at all in the hotel but it was the perfect base for our break.close

This is a budget hotel a ways away from everything. It will save you money, but don't eat the breakfast. They told us it was complimentary and then charged us €8 per person per day for room temperature milk and bad coffee.
