Considering its central location in Paris and good standard of accommodation, this hotel is good value, probably the best I have experienced in Paris. Across the road from a Metro station giving access to anywhere in the city, with a very convenient mini market next door and easy walking distance of the Sacre Coeur area, in a bustling area of town, we enjoyed our stay. Also just 10 euros for a taxi from Gare du Nord. The rooms are small but space is always at a premium in Paris. The bed is comfortable, the shower is good and the room has a mini bar that although not stocked is very handy for milk, beer, wine etc bought from the mini market. The room overlooks the Boulevard de Clichy which is lively but the sound proofing on the wondows is good. The area is of course full of sex shops and establishments but they caused no problems to us and the huge cemetery at Montmartre where many of France's great and good are interred,on the other side of the Moulin Rouge, is worth a visit. But the area around Sacre Coeur is the best area to enjoy, with some lovely bistros, magnificent architecture and superb views across the city. I'll be booking this hotel next time I go to Paris
