Fodor's Review:

When tourists think of staying on one of the islands, it's usually Ile St-Louis, not Ile de la Cité, but the overlooked isle shelters one of the city's most beloved budget-priced sleeps. The 17th-century building that once housed King Henri IV's printing presses offers few comforts: the narrow staircase (five flights, no elevator) creaks and the ragged rooms show their age. Most bathrooms are in the hallway, and they may not be up to your standard of hygiene; pay a little extra and get a room with private shower, or reserve room No. 16, the only one with a tub. The payoff is a location overlooking the oasislike Place Dauphine, just a few steps from the Pont Neuf and Sainte-Chapelle. Pros: very quiet, central location; good value. Cons: steep stairs and no elevator; no services or amenities; no e-mail or online reservations.
