Very convenient place, 15 mins walk from Gare du Nord, Gare du Est 10 mins, several bus stop and metro station 5 mins walk. Typical budget hotel in Paris so there's no AC, no Lift, very small but more than enough for short stay. The receptionists are very welcoming and speak good English. The room is tiny and old but well kept clean. There are 2 sockets in the room and 1 in a shower room. I paid around 65pounds for a night in June so I guess it was very good deal. I am ok for the stairs but if you have huge suitcases it is probably very tiring to go up as the stairs are very narrow. I recommend you to bring a ear plugs just in case, I didn't need to use it though. There's space for your luggage before check in and after check out, very helpful. I am very happy to stay there. Highly recommended if you get used to the budget hotel.
