 The hotel is in a side street between two busy boulevards so there s some street noise but shutting the windows effectively cut this out The rooms are a bit on the small side but again it s what you would expect in this location 
 Brilliant location very close to Oberkampf and Republique Metro stations and the bustling Place de Republique Lots of good restaurants and cafes nearby and a couple of nice boulangeries too Also it s in easy walking distance of the Musee Picasso in the interesting Marais area The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful The beds were really comfortable a nice change from the hard beds that so many hotels offer nowadays The free soft drinks in the bar and the fitness centre in the basement were nice bonuses too
