So this place is cheap. I needed something for the night and it served purpose. It isn't anything to rave about but the staff are friendly and the sheets were clean.. the carpet is a bit ominous but nothing a pair of shoes can't handle.. the lovely man at reception carried my bag up to room . He was very helpful

The metro station is close to the hotel, and it was easy to reach this hotel from that station although I arrived in the midnight. The staffs are very kind and they allowed me the late chack-in in midnight and kept my luggage after check-out.
It was a bad point that although I stayed at 5th floor, there was no lift and it was necessary to use the spiral staircase. If a traveller has heavy laggages, it is not easy to reach the room which locates a upper floor.

For 5 nights the experience was pretty mid. Expensive for what you get. Room looked nice but the bedsheet had stray hairs and the shower would leak water all over the bathroom floor from the hole in the tiles and pipes underneath. The staff was helpful and did fix the door seals on the shower and gave extra towels every day but soon after we realized the leak was actually coming from the pipes which would be hard to fix while we were staying there. They also rearranged our bed neatly every day, without changing the sheets though. You can hear people coming up and down the stairs clearly as well as loud party people coming in after midnight. No AC but you’re able to open the windows for a nice breeze. Also a smart TV available which we didn’t really use. There was a coatrack and desk in the room which were nice to have. Located in a busier area kind of sketch but good police presence. We felt safe for a majority of the time here. Close to the stations and city. Laundromat right up the street and a couple grocery stores nearby as well. It was bearable for my partner and I but not sure others would appreciate it.

Great place for a stay.
I had a great stay. I appreciated the room, and the ease of access to the utilities. I was sleeping with the window open usually because I would get a little hot, and they gave me a fan. The check in and check out process was very simple and ran smoothly. It is also very close to Montmarte, Pigalle, and is next to plenty of subway stations.

Convenient & Friendly Staff
The location was very convenient just few meters from the metro station. The staff was friendly and attentive when asked for information or requiring any service. The only inconvenience is that the toilet and shower rooms are shared, something that I didn’t noticed while doing the bookings; however, it was always tidy and claen.

Plaisant and good stay
The hotel is in a good emplacemt,you turn rigth and you will fund you self in a street at the bottom of la Butte Monmartre,full of shop,frensh brasserie were you eat very well and not expansive.
The hotel it self is on Boulvard Barbes,who doesnt have good reputation, but this part was good, not a problem at all.Is just 2 tube station from gare du nord.
My room was very clean,very good bed, Quiet.shower room was in the corridor.Small and clean.
Is a small bulding, then narrowed corridor and narrow stair case.
Is a budget hotel then dont expect The Ritz.
Over all great stay,good location,very good staff.
I do not understand all those complaints ???

I cleaned Room | Unable to Resolve Issue
This was a cost effective hotel and the amenities are minimal which is okay, had no problem with.
The first receptionist was very nice and kind. I checked in and got to my room. The beds were made and appeared clean but there was hair and small particles all over the sheets and pillows. I mentioned this to a different receptionist and he moved me to another room but that room also had the same issue with dirty sheets.
The receptionist said they had no more rooms. I asked what am I supposed to do and he said nothing. I then asked if I needed a refund and he told me to contact Hotels.com . I grabbed my stuffed from the room and checked out, returning the key.
I contacted Hotels.com about the situation and they contacted the hotel. The hotel denied a refund but offered a ‘free’ stay for my room. I already had to move to another place so I no longer needed their services and persisted on a refund. The hotel denied a refund in reference their policy. Even after saying that they were not able to provide a room for me that they did not have any left available. They still will not offer me a refund and hotels.com was not able to assist or hold the hotel accountable for not having available rooms for me. I still have not received a refund for a room that was not clean or sanitary to be in. Will not recommend booking. You may run the risk of a room that is not suitable to stay in and they are not willing to issue a refund

Trångt vid handfatet. Svårt att sköta hygienen över ett extremt litet handfat och med en glasskiva ovanför mycket nära handfatet.
