This is a good place if you speak french and are looking to have a basic room while staying outside of the popular Paris attraction areas. The night shift/late afternoon staff was very friendly and the maid service was very good. My advice for any english speaking travelers is to avoid this hotel and to stay in the city center where the main attractions are and english as a second language is spoken more. Almost all guests were french/french speaking so i assume not alot of English-speaking travelers stay here often. The night/afternoon shift gentleman (possible manager) speaks enough english that you will understand him well, but the morning staff's english is not there and they were not very welcoming/friendly as the afternoon/night shifts! We had a very stressful and disastrous checkout due to the lack of English between all 3 people at the front desk, unfriendliness/lack of care, and communication/notes on our room between the different shifts.
