Hotel is definitely 'old', but they keep it pretty clean. Elevator, lobby are very small. Rooms surprisingly are not as small. We got a family suite for 4. The room is barely big enough to fit a big king bed, and 2 singles are on the loft above. Overall, we felt adequate with the space.
The front desk lady is very nice and helpful. It's 2 minutes walk to the nearest metro station. There are many restaurants, and even a couple markets, on the same street. It's not in a fancy area of Paris, but very safe. We definitely would stay here next time we're in Paris.
