I didn't expect much from this hotel, because I chose it because of price and location (I had business in Charonne). When I arrived the staff was very friendly, and spoke English fluently. The basic room was small, but sparklingly clean, and everything worked as it should. The internet was fairly quick, and reliable. There are plenty of shops next to the hotel, so getting proper food was easy. The metro station is a 1 minute walk away. Even if I returned as a tourist, I would rather stay in Charonne, than in the more touristy areas. Travel is a breezy, because of the Metro location. I would be happy to stay here again.
