Les bon splans de Whathello - Paris Hotel 10e
Hotel Robinet d'or.
Since I'm posting on some threads, and to make a change from the sniping and snarkiism that prevail these days, I thought I might contribute positively.
in the 10th. Close to St Martin Canal (actually about 50 m from the canal, in front of the Exacompta paperworks, nice building).
Rue Blache. Some kind of a dead end. No traffic. no sound.
Good hotel, nice staff, shower was great, bed confortable.
A very good night.
Restaurant adjacent - didn't try - was at Pedzouille, great too.
Not expensive but no hotel is expsenive for one night in low season.

Of course, for those who want to see the dark side of the force, I could say that there was a dog which peed in front of me, that I saw some migrants sleeping at the canal, close to a bridge towards Stalingrad, where there were more migrants and a little bit further I scared a rat. And some garbage floatin on the canal...
Beware...

I just realised that though I know What to be an educated man, he may not have read the English classic "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll. I offer just the first few lines of the great (in two senses of the word).
"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
"Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true."
The crew was complete: it included a Boots—
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—
A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes—
And a Broker, to value their goods.
A Billiard-marker, whose skill was immense,
Might perhaps have won more than his share—
But a Banker, engaged at enormous expense,
Had the whole of their cash in his care.
There was also a Beaver, that paced on the deck,
Or would sit making lace in the bow:
And had often (the Bellman said) saved them from wreck,
Though none of the sailors knew how.
There was one who was famed for the number of things
He forgot when he entered the ship:
His umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,
And the clothes he had bought for the trip.
He had forty-two boxes, all carefully packed,
With his name painted clearly on each:
But, since he omitted to mention the fact,
They were all left behind on the beach.

Saw an extremely marginal film the other day ("Passade") which takes place entirely in a room at the Hôtel Citizen, directly on the Canal Saint Martin. The movie is pretty much "bof" but the hotel seemed incredible, at least room 601. But nothing looks a bit like that on the hotel website, so it might all be fake. I see that rates start at about 150€ a night and go to around 250€ for a quad.
