Stayed here in the summer with young kids; cheap and cheerful apart-hotel with excellent kitchenette. The fellows at the front desk were courteous. Room was clean and functional, but very small. Efficient elevator. Pay laundry available, although front desk was not able to break bills to provide change. Grocery store just steps away. 10-min walk to nearest Metro station (Porte de Pantin), with most of Paris' main attractions accessible within 20 mins. The neighbourhood around the hotel was lovely and safe and clean. Delighted to discover La Villette nearby with museums, concerts, a huge playground, fairgrounds, restaurants, Cité des Sciences, etc. Lovely area! Would definitely stay here again.
