Fabulous, quiet and secure hotel in a great location
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location, the rooms are very clean, comfortable and have good amenities. We enjoyed the breakfast, my children gave it 10/10. I also found the staff to be extremely hospitable.

Cons:

I liked it all- the room was compact but not the smallest I’ve stayed at in Paris.

Pros:

Our room was lovely and spacious- we booked the bigger room- and everything was clean and comfortable. Very close to gare de Lyon station and others so easy to get around Paris. The front desk team were super helpful and always someone available.

Cons:

Only confusing thing was having to ask for toilet paper even though rooms were serviced each day. Not sure why it wasn't topped up, we were staying 6 nights.

It was clean and well located.
Pros:

The central location, along with shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity, offers excellent access to the metro and regional trains. Austerlitz train station is just a 10-minute walk away, providing direct connections to Versailles.

Cons:

The rooms are quite small, but that seems typical for Paris. The hotel asks guests to use towels sparingly but they doesn't dry them directly on the hooks on the wall. The lighting in the small bathroom is motion-activated. The interval is very short and doesn't detect the person in the shower; the light keeps switching off. With the bathroom door closed, you're left standing in the dark, waving from above the shower cubicle. Energy-saving LEDs and a longer interval would be a simple solution here. As for the glass water bottle and the chlorinated Parisian tap water... that means guests have to buy their own. All minor things, and it was fine for me alone. With my wife, there simply wouldn't be enough space, and I'm not sure if she's tall enough to reach over the shower cubicle.

Es war srin angenehm
Pros:

Das personal war freundlich, das zimmer nett und bequem und machte den anschein als hätte man vor ein paar jahren renoviert. Die lage war für mich praktisch. Alles wunderbar.

Cons:

Die zimmer sind klein aber das ist in paris nun einmal so. Es stimmt auch, dass es etwas hellhörig ist aber das ist einerseits in alten gebäuden so und ist andererseits in vielen hotels so, das hat mich nicht sonderlich gestört.
Es gab nichts wirklich schlechtes. Ich kann anmerken, dass ich die idee mit dem bewegungsmelder licht im bad nachvollziehen kann aber in der parxis blöd ist. Weil das licht ausgeht während man unter der dusche steht und man nicht nachts im dunklen auf die toilette gehen kann um den mitbewohner nicht zu wecken.
Das EG/ Lobby könnte auch eknmal modernisiert werden aber das ist jammern auf hohem niveau.

Pequeña y sofocante
Pros:

El desayuno, buena ubicación, cercana al terminal de trenes y la habitación estaba limpia

Cons:

- habitación extremadamente pequeña
- sin ventilación natural o luz natural (ventana estaba sellada que daba a las escaleras) que hacía que fuera sofocante
- aire acondicionado funcionaba muy suave incluso al máximo muy suave
