77%Appihotel  

For the price you pay it's an excelent place, the rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. Although the restroom inside the bedroom is very small, the location is a great compensation. Very central, definitely would stay there a hundred times.

Si os proponen desayunar en el hotel, o véis el anuncio del desayuno, ni se os ocurra. El desayuno resulta deprimente. Por ese precio tenéis montones de sitios donde es realmente bueno

Not security for one person to live. Someone try to open my door at midnight. Maybe they were looking their room but I am unhappy for this.

Nice quaint hostel. No elevator. Was on the 6th floor. Very nice room. Wood floors. Being above Paris was cool hearing all the different noises.

We did have trouble trying to get back from the Eiffel Tower in the evening because there were no direct bus or subway routes from that part of the city at night. The desk also said it was closed on the door when we got there but we rang the bell and they let us check-in anyway. However, when we went to get breakfast one morning the sign said they were out.close

This hotel was nice and central to many attractions in Paris and very close to the metro. Staff were very helpful with any questions that we had. The only issue is that the shared shower was extremely small. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

That said, the general location is great and only a short walk or metro ride from most of the major sights. Decent hotel for its price, but with hindsight I'd probably have booked a better hotel I saw on special offer, but with a slightly poorer location. There's no lift, so be prepared for some gruelling late night stair-climbing.close

Te tienes que salir fuera para secarte y vestirte. Se recomienda llevar toalla pues las que te dan son muy pequeñas. No hay ascensor y las escaleras son un poco incómodas. No coger habitación con baño compartido, imposible ducharse y demás. El desayuno está muy bueno, abundante, con el classic hay suficiente, tres tostadas grandes y cafe con leche (la cantidad que quieras) por 6 euros, fuera vale lo mismo o más. Está la opcion del Desayuno French que incluye croissant y zumo de naranja que vale 8 euros. No hay sitio donde estar, la recepción y el lugar del desayuno está todo junto pero para poca gente resulta agradable, no se recomienda a grupos de más de 4 personas. El barrio está muy bien situado, puedes ir adando al Pompidou y aunque hay mucho sex-shop (no molesta para nada), también hay muchas tiendas de 2ª mano. Tiene la parada de metro a 100 metros. Por el precio, lo recomiendo!! pero solo las habitaciones mencionadas.close

Excellent choise for budget travellers. English speaking friendly staff. No TV, no air condition. Twin room larger than expected. Small bath room but absolutely clean. Easy to find.

A lot of boutiques & shops in Rue St-Denis. Several small supermarkets with night opening hours. A dozen restaurants around. I enjoyed the stay at Appi Hotel.close

The hostel is only good for a place to sleep and nothing more, no kitchen, no laundry and the shower was nothing more than just a dribble! Also the walls are as thin as paper, we were in a double room centrally located on the floor which meant we heard EVERYTHING. NO WIFI as advertised, and the internet computer sucked! The keyboard did not even work properly. The male host was nice, but the female was a complete french snob! All in all, I have blacklisted this hostel and would be giving my euro cents worth!close

Yet weird though it may seem, it was perfectly safe to come and go at any time of the day, so this may only be a drawback for those looking for something a bit more glamourous or elegant. The location itself is pretty good -a few blocks away from Les Halles-, so this is a good base to go around Paris. You can even visit many key spots by foot and cross over to the Rive Gauche and Latin Quarter in less than half an hour. The staff is cool and the rooms are pretty nice as well, specially the ones overlooking the street.close

Very good price, but not as clean as the other hostels we stayed in our vacation around europe (dust increasing under the bed during our stay) . We stayed in a room ensuite and the bathroom was very, very, very small. Bath with only curtains. You can easily wash all the bathroom having a bath. Breakfast is good (5 or 6,5 euros depending your hungry), but you can buy a better one some meters ahead on the same street (a bakery on the same St DENIS street near SEBASTPOL - better, cheaper and fresh croissants and breads) Good staff regarding Alan. The other guy seemed not to be interested in our questions. FREE internet, but the keyboard was awful (almost out of order). There are 6 floors without lift. So, better to stay in rooms on 2nd or 3rd floor maximum.close
