a lovely stay in the city of lights!

local metro attentive staff

The hotel is just a short walk from the local metro station. It is also near the Champs-Élysées. the rooms were clean and perfect for what i needed, including a lift and a/c. i stayed for four nights and the breakfast area was lovely with attentive staff.

you could also hear running water if the neighbors were taking a bath or a shower. the sound isolation was definitely very bad, as i even heard neighboring rooms talking.

Location

10/10

the hotel has an really good location in a reserved and quiet area in the 8th arrondissement. it is central for those who like to walk. it's very close to the metro at george v station. you will find this area is both convenient and accessible.

Service

9/10

The staff were very kind and helpful. They even allowed me to enter my room before the official check-in time, which i appreciated! the team also provides a discreet, yet always available service. any request was handled with efficiency.

Rooms

9/10

The rooms offer all the necessary comforts with benefit and a fine finish. They are also reasonably sized! my room included a kettle and a nespresso machine available for free use. i found the room clean with daily tidying.
