If you want to make the most of your time in Paris, then it pays to be close to the centre, so that you can explore as much as possible. Santana is in a great location for exploring bohemian Montmartre, and for getting around the city via the metro links nearby.
Paris hotel prices can feel like daylight robbery, but Santana is within reach of budget travellers. If you're just planning to sleep there, and then get out to explore the sights, then it can do the job for a night or two.
The free Wi-Fi seems to be relatively reliable, at least in public areas and on lower floors. so you can surf the net at your leisure, without racking up roaming charges.
Guests report that the rooms are tiny and cramped, with old, basic furniture that could really do with replacing. Some rooms have shower units within the bedroom, which isn't great for ventilation.
The soundproofing doesn't seem to be very effective, since many guests complain about the noise, particularly from residents who appear to live at the hotel on a permanent basis.
While not all guests have encountered problems with the staff, there are numerous complaints about problems with double-bookings, unsuitable rooms or overcharging, forcing some guests to seek alternative accommodation.
