Au Royal Mad

Clean, convenient, comfortable stay.

Liked: This hotel was easy to find. We were nervous after the review about noise and bedbugs, but can very happily say that we experienced neither. The room was a good size, clean, the beds were two singles but comfortable and there was plenty of shelf and cupboard space. We hit Paris in the June heatwave and had brought a fan with us, which i think made sleep possible as there's no aircon. We didn't ask for a fan, they may have been able to provide, I don't know. We were checked in by very kind and smiling concierges, and we were in room #1 which has an en-suite bathroom and strangely verly little noise. Great value for a stop over night, we would do that again as it's great value for money in comparison to competitors.
Disliked: Oh the TV was confusing to use, would only select one channel.

Bad

Liked: Location is great, in the past my stays have been perfect.
Disliked: The mattress was covered in stains, hair, dust, etc. Drinking glass was unwashed since last visitor and had toothpaste all over it. Towel was also dirty with stains. Dead bugs and alive bugs throughout the room. I was unable to stay because overall it was too dirty.

Pleasant

Cheap and feels it.

Liked: Good location an easy walk from Opera Bastille and Gare du Lyon, and a pleasant if longer stroll along the Seine to Notre Dame. Pretty cheap for a room in central Paris. OK for a one-night stay.
Disliked: A bit shabby and unkempt. Staircase to upper floors is uneven and has frayed carpets, which verges on the dangerous; it would be very easy to trip over on it. Bed not amazingly comfortable. Only two tiny sachets of shampoo / body wash provided in the room - not enough for a decent shower - and no soap at the basins. Area to leave luggage was a room next to check-in so wasn't under surveillance.
