Nice little hotel in Paris City Center
Nice little hotel in the city centre of Paris. Room are pretty basic and little bit small, but common standard in Paris. Coffee and croissant offered in the morning which was a nice detail.

Good position, some issues
Good location with a lot of shops and restaurants around. Underground super close. My room was a single one and was quite small, but good for the purpose, with private bathroom and good clean shower. Unfortunately there was no energy power in my room in the evening so I couldn’t use the plugs to charge my phone. I called the reception and said they’d sort it out but 15mins after it was still not working. It was sorted the next morning but a little too late as I had to go. Overall good, but a little overpriced for what’s offered.

Friendly staff, hotel clean but a bit tired.
Hotel staff were lovely and very accommodating, our room was passable, it could have done with painting the walls and painting the blue ceiling white. The bedding was clean and so was the bathroom. The towels were changed each day. The shower curtain was filthy, we couldn’t use it as it was so dirty. The hotel was in a good position to walk to most amenities and sights, however it was in the middle of a red light district , the prostitutes are out all day and night touting, they didn’t bother us but look scary. The surrounding shops are wholesale suppliers of clothes and we did find some real bargains.

All of the photos online were not real. Only found the hotel because of a piece of computer paper with the name of the hotel written on it. So much construction and the fumes from the paints and staining were unbearable. The WiFi was also down and they did not have someone coming to fix it for another week. Rooms were extremely small and not clean. Due to health issues with the fumes and the fact that the hotel seemed not safe to stay in, I had to find another hotel at 24:00. The man at the front was very rude and would not give any money back.

Good budget hotel with central stay& helpful staff
Hotel reception staff was very lovely and helpful, allowed us to keep our bags early. It is just 3 mins walk from the nearest metro. Loads of local restaurants to eat nearby and little india eatery place is near. The only downside was that the elevator starts from floor 1 and it only fits one person at a time with small luggage. Need some odour deterrent in the toilet room as we could smell it in the room. You will also find some lady escorts waiting outside the stations minding their own business. But overall good budget hotel for the price.

Nice place would go back
Nice little hotel, staff welcoming and helpful, room was modern but small clean and tidy can’t fault it for the price, the bed was super comfortable pillows nice I have sleeping issues but slept well every night .a couple of minutes from the metro once the 4line is back up and running you can easy get to most places with ease, someone mentioned the red light area tbh, it was more just 3 corners and a few women nothing major so don’t let that put you off, nice to pop back late and get a tea or coffee for just €1, if we go back to Paris I would look this place up first, would say if you visit this hotel definitely eat at the L’Amour Vache restaurant great food great service

We had a slight issue at check-in - the room that we'd booked and been told on Expedia was suitable for 4 of us wasn't actually! Very quickly and efficiently resolved and ended up with the added bonus of getting 2 seperate rooms at no extra cost! The location was ideal for getting the Metro to all of the sights within Paris. Hotel staff were always friendly and eager to help - would highly recommend and visit again.

Stay Far, Far Away
I booked this at the last minute on a flight into Paris so I didn’t have any expectations. With that in mind, imagine how bad it was to have been worse than my expectations. WORSE than my expectations The streets were lined with hookers and their handlers as my cab pulled up to the hotel. And that population only grew Into the evening. If you enjoy back alleys, the feeling of a 1940’s bad movie you might enjoy this place.

Best 2 star hotel in Paris
The location is very conveniently close to Strasbourg station, with a few cafés and restaurants also in very close reach. The area is just in a side street of a main road, so relatively low traffic noise.

Nice hotel. Very affordable for the area
This is a very nice hotel. It is not a big and fancy hotel. It is clean with comfortable beds. We had 4 single beds that worked perfectly for us. And they were all lined up, not bunk beds. The room was spacious enough for our luggage and beds. Area is close to metro and shops and restaurants. There is also a coin operated laundry very close by, maybe 0.2 miles away. Room was cleaned daily. We really liked this hotel and the price. It is not luxurious but cozy and clean.

OK hotel for the price
Hotel is very close to the metro station and shops. Checkin was easy, staff at reception was friendly. The room itself was clean and beds were comfortable, unfortunately the bathroom had some mould, and the shower door did not close properly resulting in a very wet bathroom floor. Also, be aware that late at night the streets nearby do become a bit seedy.

Good stay!
Pleasantly surprised with this hotel, wasn't expecting much as it was so cheap but the staff were nice and helpful spoke English. The room was clean and the bathroom modern plenty of room had heating so u could set the temp of the room, the bed was also really comfy. We didn't eat there so couldn't comment on that but had a nice looking breakfast bar and a fudge stocked with drinks u could buy at reception. The hotel is right next to the tube so everywhere is easily accessible.

Mostly good
Decent hotel for inner city paris. Not a good place to take kids as there is a rather lare presence of ladies of the night. Only downside with hotel itself is that the room we were still needed some finishing touches and the wifi was a bit dodgy but these are easy to fix. Surrounding area has many decent bars (cheap for Paris) and several supermarkets to avoid paying full price for food when doing the touristy stuff.

Location Location Location
Everything about this hotel was trash except for the water pressure, the staff, and the location. If it wasn't for the location and staff specifically I would have called Expedia and asked for a refund or relocation. The reviews said there were prostitutes everywhere but I thought people were just exaggerating. Nope. Granted, the prostitutes didn't bother my group of friends because we were women who are skilled at using "Don't try it" faces; however, we watched them accost men walking by 24 hours of the day. They were relentless and apparently working to reclaim their passports so are pretty desperate unfortunately. It saddened us more than it offended us so even if they don't exactly bother you, you may not want to see that every day / night on your vacation. The walls were terribly thin, the room was dirty all around, and the timed light in the bathroom was either broken or stupidly configured. It was shut off after 5 minutes then come on again only after a 30 minute wait. The wifi was TERRIBLE which defeats the purpose of staying at an international hotel with "free wifi". I am happy to report that there were no bedbugs however. All in all the hotel was complete trash but the staff were very personable and you can't possibly beat the location. It was a 2-3 minute walk from the Strasbourg St. Denis stop on the 4 line located in the 10th Arr. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone but i would suggest that people look for another hotel near this convenient train stop.

A hotel where its difficult to sleep
Advertised as having Sleep Number beds. Only if your preferred number is 100 for firmness. The mattress was like a concrete slab with a dirty sheet on it. It would be hard to sleep anyway with the people yelling outside the hotel all night. Probably had something to do with the many African ladies of the night right outside the door. Hotel employees don't care that its not as described, the solution is to threaten to call the police about nothing.

DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE
I booked a room here for 6 nights. I had to use my credit card to book the room but Baby hotel charged all 6 nights in advance. I stayed 1 night but didn't like the hotel at all. I found a better hotel and checked out, but Baby wouldn't refund me a dime. There were several problems with Baby Hotel - 1) under construction with exposed wires, plumbing, fresh concrete, etc; 2) dirt from construction on carpets and peeling paint in room; 3) hotel situated on isolated backstreet visited mostly by hookers, who you can hear in the evening arguing in the street; 4) thin walls so you can hear your neighbours. Very budget hotel that I do not recommend for families.

Just Comfy
We enjoyed our stay, it was comfy, the staff was friendly and helpful, it was also perfect for hopping on a metro to explore Paris - our reason for the visit. There are lots of great restaurants nearby, and the street we was off the main road, and quiet for a city hotel.
