I have stayed at this hotel several times this year with the most recent November 2005.
I've reserved directly through the hotel website as well as through hotelclub.net .. each time, the rates have been under 100 Euros.
The location is directly on Rue Rivoli about midway between Hotel du Ville and Saint Paul metro stops with grocery, shopping and restaurants all an easy walk. I arrived to the hotel using both metro stops and there's really no difference apart from if arriving from CDG on the RER, Hotel du Ville is a more convenient stop.
It's also in the Marais so walkable to places alone Rue du Temple and Rue des Archives which has several good 'local' restaurants and shops.
The rooms are basic and functional with coffee/tea and television. I will admit the rooms are small, and the shower tends to get water all over the floor, however it's a good value and a great location and I also don't tend to spend large amounts of time inside a hotel room when visiting Paris.
A great value is the hotel offers free WiFi throughout the hotel which is great for a 3* property.
The hotel also has a large common area on the 1st floor looking onto Rue Rivoli. They do have a selection of newspapers and very bright to read if you want to get away from your room.
The breakfast isn't included generally, but it's an OK selection of basic things and about 7 Euros. There are also several creperies nearby and cafes to take breakfast, but if you don't want to leave the hotel just yet the breakfast offered fits the bill.
