I liked the location, next to the Moulin Rouge, metro, to the Opera, from where all excursions started, 20 minutes at a quick pace and half an hour - walking. On Place Blanche (a five-minute walk) there is a Starbucks, many shops with souvenirs... In principle, all the advantages. And, more: cheap compared to the rest, more or less normal breakfast.
Disadvantages: the room in general resembled a room in a summer children's camp. The plinths are wooden, wide and broken off in many places. Carpet worn. There are spots of unknown origin on the wallpaper. The bathroom is the most disgusting place. White tiles with black grout, not a very pleasant smell, a crack on the sink, it (the sink) clogged a little later (which, unknown, we did not contribute to this). When they said at the reception, 2 times they very politely promised to look, as a result, in the morning before leaving, we cleaned it a little ourselves. The curtain on the shower does not reach the edges of the cubicle tray, the result is half the water on the floor. And in general, everything is so old and dirty (I mean, uncleaned).
Hangers - heaps, but the closet - knocked down from plywood. When we moved in, the door closer was broken, and even in such a way that one part of it made a hole in the next room (rather, in the built-in closet of the next room). There is only one socket, at the level of the TV, which is almost under the ceiling. To stroke, we moved the table under the TV, turned off the TV, and spread a blanket on the table. About the ironing press, which was mentioned in the advertisement, not a word. The iron was asked at the reception, the device, it seems, was my age. The sole is burned completely and irrevocably. Luggage storage is a table next to the receptionist, for free : ) I was glad that the new mattresses on the beds and new bedding, we slept, in principle, normally, but on Friday and Saturday, it was loud, of course, under the windows. We lived on the second (Russian third) floor, facing the street. It does not smell of air conditioning if it was hot (we were in Paris at the very lafo - 23-26 C), I don’t know what they would do. It was a big plus that I speak French (without false modesty), otherwise we would not have been able to settle many things. In general, a very budget hotel with a minimum of services. If funds allow, it is better to take ***.
