We stayed here one night and being regular visitors to Paris ,over the last 37 years, we were extremely impressed with the standard of the room, and the service we recieved. We were breaking our journey from South of France to England, and the hotel happily stored our cases for several hours befor our return journey.

Close to Cadet metro and minutes walk from good restaurants. Very comfy bed and pillows and good standard of furnishings. Shame about the view- a wall! Adequate breakfast but no wine in the bar!

Basic city central hotel. Clean rooms and adequate breakfast. Hotel was too hot except in reception areas and AC not working. Staff were exceptionally helpful. Would recommend as a clean, centrally positioned hotel at an acceptable price.

the lift is a bit weird!!!

Friendly,helpful receptionists.Ideal budget hotel for getting to the sights of Paris.Rooms basic but clean and comfortable.

Hotel is very basic and the staff are not particularly helpful.

Hotel, clean and well decorated. Lift bit scarey it bounced. Breakfast the bare minumum. Room so small, really the smallest room ever been in but very designed. Nice to have double opening doors in bedroom even if have to close to get in showeroom! Have close to get into bed. Staff ok. Bit of a back street but some nice bars and resterants nearby. Close to tube. Bit of a walk to station futher than stated.

We found this hotel perfectly adequate for our needs and were pleasantly surprised by the facilities, given the rates charged. The staff were all extremely polite and helpful, speaking excellent English in reply to our faltering French. Our room was clean and bright with comfortable beds and freshly laundered sheets. There was an ensuite bathroom with towels being changed daily. From 07:00 - 11:00 hrs there was a continental breakfast - a little more basic than we would have wished but everything was nicely presented and the waitress was delightful. The hotel is situated in a convenient position, close to Cadet Metro station and near a good selection of brasseries. We found it very easy to get to all the main tourist attractions and felt safe walking about in this area. We would certainly consider staying at this hotel again should we be lucky enough to be able to visit Paris again.

Most rooms at back (the only ones which are double) face a blank wall. However we moved to the sixth floor where we had a very pleasant room which looked over rooftops. Only problems were poor sound on TV and a shaky unreliable lift, in need of servicing.

We have just returned from Paris (24 March 2008) and would definitely revisit the Hotel de L`Ocean. The staff were exceptionally courteous, helpful and friendly and the rooms and public areas of the hotel were bright, clean and well maintained. Rue Mayran is a quiet little cul de sac just yards away from Rue Lafayette and it is less than 5 minutes walk from Cadet Metro station. It is a pleasant walk from the hotel to Sacre Coeur and Galleries Lafayette/Opera house. Only improvement I would make is a little more variety at breakfast. Other than that, a super 3* hotel.

My daughter and I enjoyed staying here. The staff were very helpful with advice on where to eat and how to get around Paris. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean and what you would expect for the price paid.

We booked for New Year on the internet, we had a lovely stay, the staff were extremely helpful and our room was pleasant and clean.

Unfortunately when we arrived the room wasnt ready and had all the dirty glasses, bedding and towels from the last guests in the room. We did tell reception but when we got back four hours later it still hadnt been made up and we got moved to another room. The facilities are adequate enough and breakfast was fine... we werent too sure whether the guy on the front desk was alive... not the smilest of characters !!! watch out for the lift as well ... the door shuts whether you standing in its way or not , bumpy ride and it actually stopped working while we were there! you can store your luggage when you check out but no system of recording what you have so dont leave anything valuable behind ! reasonable location, right near rue la fayette... walk down to it and get a taxi rather than ordering one from the hotel, they charge you extra for a phone order

Friendly staff, comfortable double en suite room that was clean. Close to Gare du Nord. Would stay there again.

Excellently placed for Shopping (Galleries Lafayette), Monmarte, Opera etc. Nice clean hotel.

I booked online and only paid ?40 a night with free breakfast. I stayed for 2 nights. Rooms were very clean, and the femmes de ménages were excellent leaving clean towels and loo rolls every day. The day we checked out happened to be a day of the train strikes and the hotel reception staff weren`t very helpful in trying to help us reach the airport. This was my first time in Paris, and although I could speak French, I felt stranded as nobody could help us. Apart from the horrible "France on strike" experience, the hotel was excellent, however I wouldn`t say that it was worth anymore than ?40 a night.

In 3 stays, 1st we were moved to another hotel (taxi at our cost), 2nd was ok, 3rd they didn`t have the booking but managed to fit us in. Not impressed. Rooms average.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The room was clean and quiet, the staff were very pleasant and personal and overall we loved our stay. In 24 hours we saw every major landmark in Paris thanks to the hotels great location. So near to the metro station "Cadet" we found access to everywhere extremly easy.I`d reccomend the hotel to my friends and family.. that should say it all.

Hotel was a good base for our stay in Paris - useful for Gard Du Nord train station and Pigalle where we saw Moulin Rouge. Concierge was helpful with booking taxis and giving direction. Hotel Breakfast was very basic & not very well stocked bar - other than this a pleasant stay for budget accomodation.

overall the hotal was lovely to stay in however it was smaller than it looked liked online the rooms have a balcony which is lovely the brekfast is of good quality i would recommend this hotel as it nice to stay in and it is right next to a metro station

this hotel provides ideal base for exploring Paris very central. Quite road but metres away from quality restaurants and local shops providing enough supplies to keep your budget down if required.ie water,fruit ,sandwiches etc.staff excellent,very helpfull but beware of taxi booking, they charge from where they start off to pick you up,not from the hotel!

Spacious room. Lovely bathroom. Upbeat decor, obviously newly refurbished. .We were able to leave our luggage there till the evening bus shuttle to the airport. Very convenient. Excellent location with many cafes,shops and restaurants. It was the quiet environment that really meant a lot to us.

Hotel was mostly clean, air conditioning non-functional night one. Bar out of most options on menu. Centrally located, easy to find and great directions given by you.

This was our first time to Paris and we found the Hotel de L`Ocean by chance on the web. We were very impressed. It was great to be able to get breakfast from early morning until 11am. The metro is close to the hotel and there are plenty of nice restaurants close by also. Would recommend it to you all.

First impressions were good but rooms could do with modernising. Also breakfast could be a bit more varied. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

this hotel is clean, friendly and in a great position for visiting the sites, its in the opera district which is typically french. The road it is situated in has a small park at one end and is nice and quiet.
