"Really Liked The Villa Eugenie"
I've stayed several times at the Villa Eugenie and each time it was a very enjoyable stay. It's not expensive for what you actually get. The rooms are not huge but they are beautifully appointed. It's a very clean hotel and the breakfast was very nice. I would certainly stay there again.

"Very clean, many eating choices"
I stayed there 5 nights in Feb. 2007. The room and bathroom were always very clean, relatively quiet, and there was always hot water. The room was very small with minimal storage space, but the bathroom was larger than needed. The elevator, however, is barely able to accomodate 2 travelers with their bags at one time. Breakfast was included, but I never ate there...I rarely eat in hotels.
I liked the location. Skip the Rome metro stop; it is better to use the Villiers Metro stop, which is a shorter and more interesting walk to/from hotel, and has direct access to Gare du Nord. You pass by many small restaurants and cafe's, as well as a bustling open-air food market on Rue Villiers (closed on mondays) I found Ely's bar/restaurant across the street served decent inexpensive meals until late evening, and there is a cyber cafe/small market next door. If you are a walker, as I am, you will be able to access major shopping areas on Hausmann Blvd.directly south 1-2 miles away.
My only concern was upon checkout, they dinged me 7 euros for a bottle of minibar wine I never used. The staff member offered to discuss it with the manager later, but I had a flight to catch and it was not worth the trouble to fight it. My fault in not requesting bill updates during my stay; always do so.

"Very pleasant stay"
I had a truly lovely stay at Villa Eugenie. Yes, it is a bit out of the way, but as a New Yorker, I did not mind the long walk through Paris in the least bit. The hotel is small and charming and ornate decorations are throughout. Reception desk was pleasant and I suggest asking them for a much-needed map to get around. The elevator is adorable and barely fits one with a suitcase or two. My room was very, very clean with linens in red toile throughout. Not for the faint of heart but I was in heaven. The bathroom was very accomodating and new. I never ate there so I can't tell you about the food but there is a lovely and lively street off of Rue Cardinet filled with bakeries, butchers and cafes where you will find delicious food at a very reasonable price. I would pick up lunch there everdyday and eat in in nearby Parc Monceau. Nice treat! There is a small market just next door where I had Internet access at a very low cost (40 euros for 10 minutes). Clearly the hotel is worth the price.
