Perfect location for the Left Bank, Rue Mouffetard, St Germain, nice room with large window. Very clean and all facilities provided for, including extra pillows, very friendly and helpful staff at reception - for the price this is surely one of the best hotels in Paris!

the bed smelt mouldy it was rather sickening, it was noisy at night someone had their television on very loud(I know this not really down to the hotel staff)

Overall: very poor indeed, I know it`s only a basic hotel but I wouldn`t even give it one star  (107324142)

Radiator in bedroom on full all night and couldn't be turned off. Only ventilation was via double doors to balcony which were either fully opened or fully closed. Fully open not an option due to draught and road noise. Hence didn't sleep well as room was so hot.

Great spot, near metro bars cafes etc: Nice staff very helpful.

Very run down. 2 stars is about right.

Overall: Yes its a bit of a dump. But lets get real, for what your paying its good value for money. Rooms are basic, bit of a groty bathroom etc, but staff are nice. Lets be honest, you are paying for the location. You wont get a better spot for the money you pay. Right next to a metro, lots of cafes bars etc, but still not noisy enough to bother you at nights. If like us, you got up in the morning, went around Paris, got back about 11.00pm each night after getting something to eat, great.  (97748040)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
