The hotel offers a clean and trim room with windows opening up to the sounds of Paris, complimented by a superb continental breakfast with various gourmet selections. The location is fantastic with great dining options nearby and easy access to the metro, yet it involves some walking and transfers. The service is warm and welcoming, and the staff is exceptionally attentive. The dining experience offers a mix of standard European fare and brilliant French specialties.

The hotel offers small but comfortable rooms that are forgiven when considering the superb continental breakfast. The staff is warm and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is perfect, making it easy to access major attractions via the nearby Metro stations. The dining experience provides a wide choice of fresh food but may be busy during peak hours.

The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms, though the shower area was small and not as depicted in the photos. The location was ideal for accessing major sites and the metro system, but a bit distant from the main sights. The dining options were satisfactory, and the service exceeded expectations with friendly and helpful staff. Overall, a good value for money option in Paris.
