This is a very well-run little hotel and a great value for the price. Every hotel employee that I encountered (reception, housekeeping, breakfast room) was pleasant, helpful and professional. When I checked in for my 13 night stay, I asked for a quiet room facing the back courtyard and on a lower floor. The lady at reception gave me exactly that. I had booked a Single room, but when I opened the door I found that she had upgraded me to a Double room. While the room was on the small side (typical of Paris hotel rooms in this price range) it was actually larger than I was expecting and it did not feel claustrophobic at all. The room itself was extremely clean and the bathroom was sparkling clean. I really liked that the rooms had card key access so that you did not have to drop your key at reception when leaving the hotel. The in-room safe was the best I have ever encountered (very intuitive and easy to operate). The bed was extremely comfortable and had high quality sheets, big fluffy pillows and a thick, luxurious comforter/duvet. The air conditioner worked GREAT and so did the WiFi. Hot water in the bathroom was almost instant and it never ran out. My one minor complaint about the bathroom is that there was a lighted mirror above the sink that protruded about 6 inches from the wall and partially blocked access to the sink (it was impossible to wash your face without splashing water all over the floor). My two minor complaints about the room itself are that the sound insulation between rooms and between floors is poor and the choice of TV channels is extremely limited. There is a lounge for the hotel guests with sofas, a coffee machine, tea and snacks (generally either croissants and petits pains au chocolat or fresh fruit). I used it several times midday and enjoyed the coffee and snacks. The breakfast buffet exceeded my expectations: excellent coffee, espresso, hot chocolate, etc, tea, fresh-squeezed orange juice, apple juice, milk, croissants, petits pains au chocolat, high quality jellies and marmalade, fresh fruit (bananas, oranges, green and red apples, peaches), diced fruit (pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, oranges, apples, grapes), delicious bacon, scrambled eggs (I did not try them, though), cold ham, cheeses, yogurt, cold cereal. The breakfast room attendants did a great job of replenishing the various food stations and picking up the plates and silverware at the tables after people left. The neighborhood around the hotel was largely residential with some businesses (though many of them were closed for the August holidays during my stay) and seemed very safe. There were several restaurants within a 5 minute walk. I am a fast walker, but for me it was a 4 minute walk to the nearby Pernety metro station. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely choose this hotel again. Strangely, this hotel will not let you book a stay of over 5 nights, so if you want to stay longer you'll have to book multiple stays of 5 nights or less.
