hotelF1 Paris Porte de Châtillon

24h reception; close to Metro line 4 and restaurants/boulangeries; Room was small but clean and perfectly suitable; nicely decorated. Staff was helpful and gave us a map as well. Quiet neighbours (by a cemetery :D) but area felt very safe even though we were back past 11pm every night

The hotel was clean, had good location and had most of things you might need, like food machines, buffet breakfast (paid), parking and coffee machine. Great spot for transportation: Tramway, bus and bikes. Transportation to the CDG airport is 1 hour for less than 5 euros in bus.

Location

a bit far away but good access with the Metro and Bus, room was very nice, breakfast was cool especially for the price

If you're travelling to Paris on a budget and plan to spend most of the time outdoors, then you'll be happy with this hotel. We stayed in a room with a double bed, without a private bathroom. The room was spacious enough, clean and quiet (while the street outside is busy, the window blocked the noise from it completely when closed). As for the shared bathroom, there are enough showers and toilets to use them comfortably so don't worry about having a crowd there; they are also kept very clean. There was also a tap in our room so we didn't have to leave the room e.g. to brush our teeth. We didn't buy the breakfast because we wanted to try local products from the supermarkets but we we bought coffee from the coffee machine near the reception, and we used free hot water from the same machine to make drip coffee/tea in our room. The whole hotel looks like it was intended for large-scale service and is well prepared for that, in my opinion, and staying there is a good value for money. Regarding the connection with central Paris, the subway station Porte d'Orléans is close and you can use line 4 to get to key places like Notre Dame cathedral or Louvre.
