I usually stay in 4-5 star hotels for work so I've gotten a bit spoiled. But we had to take a last minute and short trip to Paris and it didn't make sense to book in one of the more expensive hotels. Also, we needed to be walking distance to the Gare Du Nord so we found the Soft Hotel and gave it a go.
I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The staff is friendly, the breakfast (although 12 EURO) is good, the rooms are very clean, beds comfortable and the location is great.
Now if you are looking for a suite to hang out in with lots of room, this is not your hotel as the rooms are very small. But if you want a very lovely, clean room, with all the basics and a very comfortable bed with a price that does not break the bank, this hotel is highly recommended.
