Ran across a review on http://www.hoteldenevers.com @ 53 Rue de Malte. The poster mentioned that there is no plug in this hotel to charge your cellphone.

Very surprised. I guess I took certain things for granted, like the standard power plugs in a room.

If you stayed with Hotel de Nevers recently, can you verify that there is indeed no power plugs in rooms?

Thanks.

I clicked this link and looked at photos. Look at the photo in the upper right corner and you will see a plug.

Another thought--a few times I have stayed at budget hotels in Europe and there's not always a plug in the bathroom, but there was a plug elsewhere in the room. Once or twice I had to look behind furniture, but I always found at least one plug. I bet the poster of that review just didn't find it, but I have a very hard time believing a room would have no plug at all.

I often take an extension cord when I travel, and it has really come in handy. It gives you extra outlets, and puts them where you need them, in case the plug is behind a bed or someplace inconvenient to reach.

We stayed there three years ago, on the top floor. Cramped quarters, but inexpensive and close to the Plaza Republique, which has lots of nice cafes and subway connections to everywhere in Paris.

We had no trouble finding wall sockets to charge our gadgets. I might add, they had an Internet-connected computer at the front desk and let us use it for e-mailing.

phew! sign of relief. Thanks for the info!
