"Excellent budget htotel, in a great location"
Great family hotel for those on a budget, the rooms are clean and the staff friendly, "breakfast included" was a great bonus. The location is excellent for the metro with all the main attractions are only a few stops away. The market on Thursday and Sunday morning is great but can be a bit noisy however this is not a problem when your windows are closed.

"Good hotel with great proximity to Paris."
My husband and i stayed in this hotel for three nights.We really enjoyed our stay.Basic clean and bright room.Staff especially reception staff very helpful.Near station and shops.Breakfast also included. Only downside was that it was a bit noisy from about 7am due to doors slamming.Door closers may need to be adjusted Still would recommend it though and would definitely stay there again

"Excellant hotel within 10 minutes of the centre of Paris"
Booked the hotel on line , taking a bit of a chance as t6ime was running out. I have to say the for the price we paid, the hotel was excellant. Obviously refurbished not too long ago, the hotel was clean and the staff friendly and welcoming. If I was being extemely critical about the room, it was a little on the small size and the small bathroom window could have been replaced. One final point there was no airconditioning which wasn`t a problem when we went in late September but in the height of summer it might get a little warm. Overall very pleased though, would definitely consider going back.

"Pretty basic but good value given handy location for travel links to central Paris."
Comfortable small room with basic facilities. We got a deal with breakfast included. Breakfast was good. Glad that we didn`t have to start each day with having to go out to buy breakfast elsewhere. Good Metro links within a short walk. Overall plaesed with value and location.

Great location, clean and comfy rooms, and friendly and helpful staff! I would definitely recommend this hotel for the great location and feel for Paris. Breakfast was not great. Bad coffee. Upgrade coffee and it would help a lot!

"Good value but basic - don`t expect the Ritz."
Enjoyed our six night stay. Excellent location for most of the top Paris sights. Very comfy bed. Weather cool despite mid-June which was great as would be very hot otherwise unless windows opened in which case it would be very noisy. Shortage of towels. Breakfast good but restaurant very noisy when metal chairs dragged over tiled floor. Staff friendly. Would stay again. Mike and Rosie.

"Top marks if you`re looking for a low budget hotel in a good area with easy access to metro."
We agree with all the positive comments above. Many of the negative ones mentioned seem to have been dealt with in the meantime. Rue de la Convention is a noisy street (the regular street markets right underneath the hotel are set up very early!) and, although the double glazing cuts out a lot of noise, without air conditioning one would like to open a window at night! Otherwise perfect hotel in every respect.

"Value for money"
Friendly staff, value for money, lovely street market on sunday on the street that the hotel is on. Nearest metro is only 7 stops from a main central line. If you arrive by metro and turn left out of the station keep walking up the street for 2 mins before the street name changes back to Convention street.

"Nice and simple with great staff"
The hotel is located on a really nice road with plenty of cafés and restaurants to choose from. The staff were all really friendly on the front desk and all spoke a fantastic degree of English when we were struggling with French. They were happy to recommend places to eat and drink for us and there was someone available at all hours. The room was nice but simple. it had a good view from the window. The only small fault was that there was no air-conditioning in the room which, when it is summer in Paris, we could have really done with. Also, for ladies out there-they do not have hair dryers in the room so remember to take one with you! Overall a very pleasant hotel and we would definitely stay there again.

"Value for money in Paris"
A pleasant hotel with very helpful staff, rooms were functional and location was good for the metro, sunday morning market was a nice extra! Clean hotel with good basic facilities and very reasonable for a relatively expensive city, would recommend.

"Excellent choice for price charged"
This was a clean hotel with charming desk staff. It is conveniently placed for Convention metro stop which takes you straight to the centre of Paris. The breakfast was good for a 2* hotel comprising fruit juice, cereal, yoghurt, 1 croissant,1 roll, toast, jams, coffee, tea, but it is better to be down 3/4 hour before it finishes. There didn`t seem to be any air con so I`m not sure how it would feel on the 6th floor in the height of summer. My only problem is the fire risk as there is only one central staircase.

"Clean and practical hotel. Good value Paris hotel"
The hotel was very good value. Quite simple rooms, similar room format to F1 and Etap budget hotels, but clean and inexpensive. Situated on a main street that has a street matket every couple of days and a reasonable restaurant over the road. 3 mins walk from the Metro. Fine for a couple of days business trip, but if you want a romantic Parisien experience, take some curtains and a vase of flowers. I would use it again very good value for a Paris hotel and the breakfast is quite decent continental style.

"Room far too warn. We had to keep the window open although the outside temperature as very low."
A lot of dust on skirting board and light fixtures. Oil from door closer running down door, not cleaned. Door slammed if one was not careful. Water in basin draining very slowly. I had to unblock the sink 3 times. Cistern not filling up. I had to fix this a couple of times a day in order to flush the toilet.

"Clean, friendly and great location"
After reading the reviews on your site we chose the Ajiel and were not disappointed! Although the decor is a bit tired in places the rooms are very clean, the hotel staff are really helpful and friendly and the location is great for all the big attractions. There is an excellent restaurant over the road - the Tosca - which serves great food and the sunday market was a real treat! We would reccommend the Ajiel no problems and would definitely return there. Great value for money!

"Very friendly staff, room clean, good bathroom."
Great budget hotel in a superb location. Very useful for Paris Expo but equally, quick to access the main areas of town. Locality is a vibrant area with great shops, bars and restaurants.Hotel staff very friendly, rooms small but functional and clean. Breakfast was ideal: help yourself continental choices.

"Excellent service, incredibly accomodating, lovely area!!"
There is nothing I could fault with this hotel - their 3 days for the price of two offer makes it a bargain!! The hotel staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the buffet breakfast is tasty, (freshly made croissants). Rooms are clean and modern. The area of Paris is convenient for the big tourist attractions, but also lovely in itself - there are street markets 3 times a week and countless boulangeries and cafes! An absolute pleasure to stay in, would definately recommend!

Room view was lovely, very reasonable price, breaksfast was included which was also a nice touch, no kettle in room, but private shower and toilet inside, spacious room with smoking cost around £80.00 great value, would use again, parking though was a nightmare!!!

"An excellent friendly little hotel - perfect for our needs "
We read up on this hotel in tripadvisor and the advice was invaluable. My daughter and i found the family room perfectly comfortable, with excellent room service/cleanliness and everything worked. The suggestion to bring a travel kettle was well made, and any additional extras you might think you will need should accompany you. The rooms are exactly what the description says - and as such, we were very happy with this little place. The breakfast is a good start to the day, and if you want more, there are plenty of cafes and supermarkets to supplement. You save in £ and enjoy a friendly accommodating welcome from all the staff as well as a good location from which to base your time in Paris. We will definitely return.

"basic but clean"
the room was quite big: the beds comfortable: bathroom clean, (though shower head wouldn`t stay up and our request for it to be mended hadn`t been honoured): receptionists excellent: breakfast good (as much coffee and juice as we wanted): close to a main Metro (12): all in all, a good little hotel!
