I didn't know what to expect but we enjoyed our stay here. The area is not exactly known for any tourist attractions so some might feel let down but we liked that it seemed like where the average Parisian would live and do. For instance, just about every other day there is a market stall set up on the sidewalks up and down the street from the hotel. The hotel is small and old, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful with the exception of one.

Just back from Paris and stayed 6 nights at this hotel (6 - 12 Apri. We booked and prepaid several months in advance to take advantage of the cheaper rate which included breakfast. We arrived at the hotel around 9am having flown in overnight from Bangkok and were pleasantly surprised to be checked in right away and also upgraded to a privilege room on the 4th floor in the back. Good size modern room and good size modern bathroom. Flat screen tv with numerous channels all in French of course except for BBC. Free fast wifi and plenty of free Evian water and a nice size safe which could even fit your laptop if needed. Never heard another guest the whole time and being in the back was very quiet overlooking a courtyard.Location could not be better, located a few minutes walk from the Metro and a good size mall that has everything including a supermarket and several bakeries. We also walked down to Rue Mouftard and up and over the hill all the way to Notre Dame several times as we were very lucky with the weather and for us walking is the way to the see the city.During our stay there was a problem with the lift not working for 2 days which was not a problem for us as we just made a joke of it when walking up or down 4 floors but for someone just checking in or out or an older guest this could be a problem. We also had a constant problem with our room key cards which seemed to only work once or twice and then stopped. It usually meant a quick trip to the front desk which was resolved very quickly.The breakfast room was absolutely delightful in green/white/pinks and the the two ladies who ran it were also very lovely and gracious! Food provided was more than enough with everything you could want both hot and cold. Our breakfast was included in the rate but I would have certainly paid for it if it had not been. Sure you can pay less for a croissant and a coffee just outside but that's it, just a croissant and coffee but this is a buffet with unlimited hot and cold items and of very good quality. All staff at hotel except one were informative and friendly. I never got his name but he was a youngish tall man who actually rolled his eyes at us when he had to make us a another key card and did it without a yes or no and just handed it back to us without saying a word. Another evening when we came back down he just breathed deeply and made a new card. Again we were never confrontational but he seemed put out. It became a joke when we would leave or come in to see if he was there as he just seemed in a bad mood all of the time.On the day of check out (12 April) we were leaving at 830am and he was working the front desk and he checked us out, and again without a word or a thank you. I wanted to say something but I thought just leave it.Having been to Paris many times I regret never staying at this hotel before. We normally stay in this area but the hotel that we stay in was being renovated. Their loss and the Mercure Place d'Italie gain as we will be back again soon.

We stayed two nights in march.This hotel is situated in the 13th arrondissement. this is a quiet part of Paris (south) not directly where all the attractions are but just few subway stations away.The hotel is only 200 hundred meters away from the subway station (Place d'Italie). Just refurbished, the room was very comfortable. Perfectly clean with a flat screen TV. Maybe a bit small but it is generally what to expect in Paris.One important thing to note is that wireless internet is free.We did not try the breakfast (16 euros per person), plenty of alternative choices around.

I stayed here when my local fave was fully booked recently. The location is excellent -- real Paris rather than the touristy centre of the city with markets, cheap caf¿¿s and restaurants, really handy for the Place d'Italie metro with direct links to the Eiffel Tower, Galeries Lafayette, Notre Dame and Pont Neuf etc and making it easily...but ...les chambres juste moyen!! le personnel pareil.........well, i'll return...lol

Had a nice stay. Excellent nights sleep and the staff were very helpful. Easy reach to the two Metro stations, a matter of a few minutes part and within a few minutes reach to the city centre. I can highly recommend this hotel.
