GARDEN SAINT MARTIN HOTEL PARIS

"Cozy, modest hotel with no luxury. On a quiet street, close to Republique and J. Bonsergeant Metro stops. Nice and lively Spanish Tapas bar right next door. Breakfast is of good quality and the price decent if you have booked your room in advance. Be careful though - you won't be served if you come down late. The area can be a bit restless but lots of people around so it shouldn't be a problem. Reception staff very friendly and on duty 24/7. Rooms aren't exactly "design" but toilets are newly renovated and modern. Fair deal for budget travellers." - Henri Kahonen

"I spent one night in Gilden Magenta in March 2006. Bathroom was clean, bed was ok with clean sheets. Breakfast was great. Generally ok, good location, very good price." - Anonymous

"The room was ok. It was clean and kept clean by the room service at all times. The bathroom was clean and good shower. Everything was very tiny, meaning measured by the millimeter. To enter the room, the door nearly hit the wall but didn't. If you don't spend to mutch time in your hotel romm (which you shouldn't in Paris) this was a good deal for a room situated in the very center of Paris close to Place the la Revoluton where you also have an Underground station leading you in all directions and only 4 stations from Les Halles." - Marc Van Geyte

"Small basic room with friendly service. Nice selection of breakfast." - Anonymous
