2 star Gare d'Austerlitz - Place d'Italie Independent hotels in Paris, France

We stayed for a week in this hotel in early June 2014. The hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly. The night reception staff, especially Edouard, was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is only a two minute walk to a major metro station with easy access to all the tourist spots. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet being on a narrow side street with no traffic. There's a police station on the corner. Shopping (a mall), restaurants (many), and even fastfood (KFC & McDonalds) are all located a minute or two walk from the hotel. The room was small (but there were 3 of us with lots of luggage) but comfortable with a small balcony you could sit on when it wasn't raining. Daily housekeeping kept the room clean and fresh. Both the elevator and wifi worked perfectly, which is good because the stairs at steep and narrow. The beds were quite comfortable and the place very quiet. The reception staff all spoke very good english. We only had the daily breakfast twice, which featured croissants, serials, yogurt, fruit and boiled eggs; a typical Paris breakfast, which was tasty and satisfying. Overall, I'd definitely stay here again.

I spent 5 nights in this hotel. The room was very clean, and the bathroom spacious and warm. The internet connection was fast and reliable. The reception was friendly. Excellent value for the money in a pleasant area.

Had two different rooms, triple first night double the next two. Rooms /bathrooms suitable enough. Beds reasonable, sheets clean but blankets seemed less so. Overall rooms are a bit tired in decor and some stains on carpets and walls. The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful, the location was very good, bus right out front and less than 5 mins to RER.

Pleasant and interesting area with a wonderful weekend street market. Easy to find and very near Les Gobelins Metro.

Nice hotel in such value price !! Great location every amenities around the corner !!

first of all, when making the reservation one of our major criteria was parking - the cost of the "parking available" was the most reasonable and was the tie-breaker for selecting it. when we got there, the first response was that we should have reserved parking - not mentioned on line. then…she said there was a spot left - we drove down a horribly steep ramp to a pit - three spots that very small cars would fit and no way for our rented VW Golf to fit - and nowhere to turn around - so backed up and out - burning up the clutch. we ended up parking nearby for more than we would have paid at other hotels. when i asked if there was daily maid service the response was "i don't know" - and the room was not clean - i dropped an earring and looked under a bed - filthy - and the room itself was not very clean.

My experience of the hotel is that it's very straightforward and is very easy to find. Overall, it offers a variety of electrical appliances for example an electrical fan. The walls are extremely thin therefore there is a rule where after 10pm there must be silence within the hotel.
