Overall, a great hotel. The rooms are a little small, but none issue for my wife and I. The hotel is close to everything you would want to see in Paris. Of course, the food in the area was very good, including the breakfast buffet at the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was quiet, albeit rather small. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Its central location made it easy to explore the city on foot. The only downside was the rather limited breakfast options. Overall, a good choice for a stay in the city center.

great location & hotel staff, but a lot to improve
great location, very nice staff and a nice breakfast buffet. rooms are too dark, with no sun light at all (we stayed on the left side), people smoking in other rooms made it impossible to open the window. the bed is very uncomfortable (very cheap mattress). and since there is only one entrance to the hotel, you will often find yourself entering or leaving the elevator when they take out the trash!

Nice clean hotel, great location with clean rooms and friendly staff. They had an issue with the lift when we stayed, offered us to find another hotel or give us a discount. We stayed and they refunded us the discount as promised, no chasing, no hassle unlike most airlines and hotel chains. I would stay there again. Thanks.
