I really enjoyed staying at Ruth's! The location is really great, a stones throw from Le Marais, and also great if you are travelling by coach bus - Gallieni is about 5 stops away on the Metro. It's a lovely area with many cool bars and restaurants, perfect if you like to explore and party. If you want somewhere quiet or if you are a light sleeper perhaps the isn't best for you. I didn't mind it, I found the location perfect for my needs. The people with whom I shared with were all respectful and kind. Every morning the beds/rooms are tidied and this added to a very nice, budget, comfortable stay. Definitely recommend!
