Basic but clean and excellent location
Whenever I go to Paris (at least every year for 1 weekend) I book this hotel. It is one of the cheapest I know that are reliable. The rooms are basic (some with sink, others with shower; shower and toilet on every floor), but clean and comfortable enough. It's best point is its location: close to the Rue Mouffetard and the little market around St Eustache church (just like the Paris you know from the movies) and within easy walking distance of the cafe's and restaurants around Montparnasse.
I cannot confirm the negative points Marina has experienced.
My only negative point: rooms on the streetside can be noisy in the morning, so book 'coté cour' (backside) if you're a late sleeper.
If you want nothing else than a good bed and a decent room at an excellent price, this must be one of the best.

Plain but good location
I stayed here for 4 nights. I had booked a few weeks in advance but when I arrived there was no proof of the booking even though I booked over phone and sent a confirmation fax as requested. Luckily there was one room left when I got there but if it had been high season there wouldn't have been. I was in room number 1 which just had a sink. The toilet and shower were in the corridor. I wish I could have had a shower in my room for more comfort, I didn't mind the toilet in the bathroom. My room was on the street side but it was quiet. The people in the room next to mine, where there were 3 beds were noisy one night so it's kinda hit and miss. The room was plain but I guess when you're only 15 minutes walk from the Latin quarter and near rue Mouffetard, you're not gonna stay in your room. I wouldn't go back here if I had a choice but I'd take it if I was stuck.
