The Bonne Nouvelle is a typical modest (but well-kept and appealing) Parisian hotel, located on a quiet block just a few blocks from a boulevard with bustling cafes and a Metro stop. The rooms are, unavoidably small (this is Paris, after all!) but designed to make the most of the available space. There is a desk, chair, rack to hang clothes on, and tall wide windows. Flat screen TV. The bathroom has a rain shower, which is a pleasant surprise, given the limited size of the stall. The staff is exceedingly cordial and helpful. This is the 6th Paris hotel we’ve stayed in during the last few years and I would put it at #2 on that list. The only complaint to make: the WiFi signal was spotty, especially late at night. That may have been just an issue with the location of our room.
