 The coffee machines in the lounge and bistro The breakfast coffee machine ran out of coffee a blessing because the brewed coffee replacement was far more to my liking The location was a 15 20Euro Taxi ride to the centre of Paris Cheap because of the P H However the Metro was close by 
 The staff were very good and mostly spoke excellent understandable English The room was garret style but French charming with a view on the surrounding chimneys Otherwise pokey but comfortable and clean The district arr 10 near Gare du Nord was a bit impoverished and with a mix of cultures but seemed quite safe although we were there on a public holiday
