I had a lovely check in at the Chou Chou hotel, I found the area (9th arr.) to be so lively and a great place to stay! The room was quite small, but the shower was amazing. There is a bar/club downstairs and played really loud until late at night. However, the room is adequately sound proof so it was fine. Although the hotel is quite small, and it seemed a tad run down, it was an excellent stay.
