Great budget hotel! Breakfast in bed was excellent, and the staff was very nice. Leaving the key at the reception can be a problem though as the staff does not always check which key they are giving out. The location is great, right across the street from the Anvers metro station.

staffs should have more friendly, door room not good enough. Heating doesn't work well, still very very cold in the room.

El hostal està a 50 metros de la parada del metro de Anvers, y por la ventana de mi habitacion se gozaba de una fantastica vista del Sacre Cour. Un detalle muy bonito es que te llevan el desayuno a la habitacion.

Very good location, right near a Metro stop and near Sacre Coeur. The area was fine at night, we had no problems. Bathroom was a bit small, but the room itself was a good size. Breakfast is delivered to your room when you request which is nice.

Upon arrival I was told there had been a problem with my debit card when they tried to charge it the night before (without my permission and against Hostelworld's guidelines which state that your card will be charged in the event of a no-show). As a result they gave my room away. At this point I was also told that the Hotel was now full. I was forced to stay elsewhere.close

Its on a very busy road, but with the windows closed, you can't hear a thing (and I am a light sleeper). The most noise came from through the wall in the next door room.

The location is great, very central using the Metro. Some staff are more helpful more others, the standard of service needs to be kept up. Was satisfactory for the 3days stay but not sure we will return.

A very average experience.... the shower was horrible. Either scalding or freezing and left you feeling crappy to start off your day. Our hostel showers were 100 times better. Other than that very bad characteristic it was just normal, but kind of expensive.

The lady was very nice at the front, however, when inquiring about our shuttle to Beauvais airport (which I do not reccommend using it is way too far) we were given the wrong information about the price of the shuttle (20 euros turned out to be 120 euros to the driver when he picked us up) which was not appreciated. If you want a quiet nights sleep, it is not the place as a bar is right on the corner with people talking until at least 3 am, so it was incredibly difficult to sleep with a bunch of drunkies outside your window. The rooms and the bathrooms were nice and clean and the location was good. Plan your airport transfers in advance.close

We've stayed in room #41 and the view was amazing. We went to sleep and woke up with Sacre Coeur looking at us. The staff is really friendly and always willing to help you. I'd definitely stay there next time I'm in Paris. I hope you can enjoy it as much as we did.
