The best part about this hotel is the location - right in the heart of the Marais (the 4th) and pretty close to a Metro stop (Hotel de Ville). The little room just off the lobby has some charming character and the elevator/stairs are behind a secret panel, so that's kind of fun. Overall, it's a 3-star French hotel, so expect it to be pretty basic, but so is the price, so I think it's good value for the money, particularly for such a good location. I didn't get a street-front room, but instead mine opened onto a light well, which made it plenty bright enough during the day regardless. The bed was comfortable. The tub/shower had no protection (such as a shower curtain, as you would find in North America, or even one of those mini-glass partitions you find in the UK) so water pretty much goes everywhere when you shower - and it's not a wet room with a drain in the floor, so I was glad I had a second, dry towel for my next night so I could use the first one for mopping up the water. I didn't hear any noise from any of the other suites, so that's a big plus, as that can sometimes be a problem in these older properties. I'd stay here again.
