 Scanty breakfast To NOT get flaky croissants and fresh coffee in Paris is a huge let down The size of the rooms is shockingly small so always best to pay a little extra and get the balcony room especially if you re a smoker 
 Walking distance to Metro 24 hour reception is always useful Hotel staff helpful about guiding you around the area A laundrette down the road is very handy The small but well stocked corner store operated by your friendly Moroccan family is open 24 7
