This place I picked up on from other VTers and would agree with them that it's value for money in Paris.
The staff were always helpful and mostly knowledgeable and our rooms were more spacious than we anticipated. There are lovely little balconies so you can look up and down the street (sorry, rue) and check the temperature each morning. (It's cold in winter!)
Breakfast was an all-you-can-eat (and stuff some in the backpack for later) affair though the range of food wasn't as extensive as a 5 star.
T.V. is in French except for the dreaded CNN, which, during the 12 months BEFORE the ACTUAL election, was filled with crap the rest of the world doesn't really want to know about. Sorry my US friends, just had to get that off my chest.
They have a lift which was great, no lugging up stairs.
Unique Qualities: Its location close to the Pasteur Metro Station made transport a breeze and the 95 bus that stop about 50 metres away is an excellent route into town (it goes right through the Louvre after passing hundreds of shops).
There are several restaurants nearby and I can heartily recommend the Italian one around the corner.
Rooms were cleaned with fresh linen daily though the decor was a little faded. Some might call it atmospheric, like me.
It was value for money in the highest priced hotel town in the world and I would stay there again.
Internet was provided but you have to purchase a card for either 15 minutes (2 euro), 30 minutes (3 euro) or one hour (5 euro). Conveniently for them they didn't actually have any one hour cards during my entire stay.
