The other reviews made it seem like the hotel was clean, friendly and close to a metro stop. In truth it was close to a metro stop. The rooms were dirty and loud (the noise may have just been bad luck) and the person who worked from 7am to 7pm was not friendly. The breakfast was a better value than you would get at a cafe, just don't ask for an extra roll. But, if you want a place with a private bathroom, this is as cheap as it gets in Paris.

It has been a pleasure for me to stay there, in the hotel. For this "hot" summer period (mid of summer) it amazingly cheap. What do you need in Paris when you are nearly student age? Travel! You sleep in hotel with pleasure, enjoying regular change of bed-clothes. An entrance to a metro station was right under our windows. The personnel smiling, nice weather and historical Paris! ;)

The hotel is OK for someone who walks all day long and comes only to sleep in the room. The employees are very nice, the room is clean, the towels are being changed and the beds made every day. Good balance between price and quality.

First time stayed. Hotel could do with a little TLC but of course there are costs for the owners in this. I thought the service was adequate for the price and the only areas that I felt could have made my stay more enjoyable could have been a quieter night but that related to the location and there is little that can be done about that. The toilet flush was a bit suspect and perhaps a review of the efficiency of Room 11 could be in order. Enjoyed being in the location in terms of access to Metro, restaurants, bars, hairdresser, banks, Saturday market. Enjoyed feeling part of the community rather than some artificial touristy establishment separated from the locals. Staff were friendly. Thought that perhaps a little more variety could have been offerred in terms of breakfast.

My girlfriend and I stayed there for 7 nights. It is a nice little hotel close to a few grocery stores and some very good restaurants in Gambetta. The price was one of the best in town per night, even though it is a bit farther away from the center of the city. However, it was only 15 minutes away from the big attractions (Louvre, Arc de Triumphe). The only problem was making sure we returned early enough so that the metros were still running. Negatives about the room: The walls seemed a bit thin and we stayed on the 1st floor so the sounds of traffic were pretty loud. It was especially bad to hear sirens being that a police station is located near by.

The hotel accidentally overbooked, so I was sent to their sister hotel, about 4 blocks away. Everyone was very friendly, and the price did not increase.

Great value for money. Rooms were basic but very comfortable, breakfast was good. Superb location, entrance to metro station is just outside the doorway, lots of nice brasseries and shops nearby and within walking distance of Pere Lachaise cemetery if you like that sort of thing!

The hotel is located in the perfect place - near to the metro, nice and quite clean area, shops - supermarkets and restaurants are near. Although the very nice staff working there, the cleanliness of the rooms was terrible - the floor wasn't clean not even once during our one-week stay there. Once i was given a dirty towel and there were HAIRS of the cleaning lady all around the room!!! It was really disgusting. But if you look for the generally nice CHEAP place with the good access to the city centre i can recomend it

I'd made my hotel reservation for Belgrand Hotel through Venere way before I arrived Paris. A few days before I arrived Paris, I received an email from Belgrand staff, asking if I wanted to confirm my reservation and notifying that the hotel had plumbing problem but would try their best to address the problem before I arrived. I confirmed the reservation, hoping that the problem would have already been resolved by the time I arrived, but no. When we were standing at the reception area, we saw a couple checking in. Then, my boyfriend who speaks very good French, asked the receptionist how the couple could get a room, but not us. The receptionist said that the water was enough for a certain no. of people. What that meant was that the hotel couldn't take any more guests. To our dismay, Belgrand sent us to Voltaire Hotel. The moment we checked in to Voltaire, we wanted to check out right away. This was because the place didn't look properly kept. Out of exhaustion, we went to the room on the 2nd Fl. The room was very small and they put two separate beds together, making it the king size bed. My boyfriend kept saying that we needed to look for another hotel, but I was very patient and optimistic that it would be ok. However, my patience ended when I had opened the curtain for the view outside to find that the room overlooks a really dirty, eye-sore scene. Even worse was the plumbing system at Voltaire didn't work, and that meant nor did the heating system. Can you imagine how bad it could get? My boyfriend and I decided that we needed to either change a hotel or a room. The hotel said that they would get us a new room which was much better. Upon leaving the room for another one, a maid came in to see if we had used anything even though we were in the room for only about 15 minutes maximum. She asked me in French if had used anything. My French wasn't as good but I could understand her. I told her, "Non." When she went into the restroom, she saw that
