Hôtel Charing Cross

This is a brilliant little room for a solo traveller with a focus on travel efficiency.  As a fairly seasoned budget-conscious traveller this hotel room met all my needs. Yes, it’s small. The elevator, as mentioned by some before me, only comfortably fits one person at a time. But if you are travelling alone this issue is moot. The adjustable heating actually worked! Really well (something of a rarity in my euro travels) so did the hot and cold water. There was a bath (admittedly a very small bath, but a very pleasant and unexpected addition given the size and price of the room). There was a kettle!! (Hello. English)  a spare pillow and an extra blanket - all the little extras that make for a comfortable stay. I utilised them all, with immense gratitude. The staff were very friendly and spoke English. There was always someone available at the front desk. And - saving the best for last - the location was outstanding for transport links around Paris. I am the kind of traveller who drops into a new city for 2-3 days and tries to do everything within that time. If you are the same, there is no better recommendation than this hotel. Right across the road from the Saint-Lazard station from which most of the lines can be caught. Super happy with this hotel. If I visit Paris again I would genuinely not consider any other over it.
