Inexpensive hotel (compared to those in downtown Paris), not too close to the major attractions in Paris. Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff that spoke English, breakfast is served in the mornings if you wish to purchase it, they also have 24 hr security guards present. My room was a little small, no closet, no iron, no mini fridge, just the absolute basics: bed, tv, shower and bathroom, some hooks and hangers to hang some clothes on a metal bar, and a rudimentary desk (barely bigger than a laptop) and tiny chair. The room is not a convenient place to do work as there is barely enough room to fit your laptop on the desk, though there is a table in the lobby that provides more space. Mattress was firm and comfortable. It is located directly across the street from the Les Courtilles metro station which is very convenient to get to downtown Paris on the number 13 line, except note that the number 13 line is one of the most crowded lines I've traveled on. It's about 30 - 40 minutes of jam packed riding on the metro to the main Paris attractions. There are not really many restaurants nearby: a McDonald's, a couple of boulangeries, and a sushi restaurant. I don't even think there's a convenience store or grocery store within reasonable walking distance. The condition of the hotel is very good as I believe it is newly built as of Oct 2018 and the wifi works very well and was very reliable.
