Hotel Aviatic

the staff was very nice and the value for a room in Paris was not bad, even considering what I didn't like about it.

The location near a metro in the 14th arrondissement is great; one metro is less than a block away. The larger Denfert-Rochereau which has two metro lines, an RER train line, and the bus to Orly is only a little further. Most of the famous places in Paris are 20 minutes away. The restaurants and bakeries in the 14th are better and more reasonable than ones in more touristy areas. The hotel serves a nice, convenient breakfast starting from 7 AM so that we could get an early start, though nearby bakeries would have been good as well. Clean hotel with friendly staff.

The only thing I dislike is the fact that the hotel does not have elevator. Another thing is that it should be more clear the way that the hotel operates regarding check in and check out considering that the reception does not work 24h.

1. Breakfast was amazing. Not many options like 5 star hotel buffet, but the owner baked the croissants and baguette every morning. I loved the smell of fresh bread and coffee. Other items, ham, eggs, etc in the small fridge were all very nice. 2. The location was excellent. It has everything such as metro, bus stops, shops, supermarkets, coin laundry, within 1-2 minutes' walking. I recommend taking bus to travel instead of metro(dangerous due to pickpockets) 3. Safety issue I found the hotel area, 14 arr, quite safe, unlike other famous travel attractions. Also, good place for travellers to experience real life of citizens in Paris. 4. Nice owners at the reception

This is a nice old hotel in a small historical Paris building. Nevertheless, the rooms are freshly renovated and nicely furnished. There was even a large fan in the room which was pleasant since it was still quite warm. The common areas are also nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The courtyard which gives access to additional rooms is also very pleasant. Our room had windows towards the rear of the building and was surprisingly quiet. It was even possible to leave the windows open the whole night. The neighbourhood is very nice with shops, restaurants, and fast-food places nearby. The next métro-station is just round the corner.
