What guests report

View

Direct views of Château de Vincennes from some rooms; most rooms face quiet internal courtyard or street; avoid rooms directly facing main road

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable, high-quality mattresses and linens consistently praised; note that some Queen rooms have only one shared duvet

Bathroom & water

Modern, spacious with rain/Italian-style showers, strong hot water, and quality fixtures; note many bathrooms are on different floors accessed via spiral staircases

Wi-Fi

Adequate but reported as 'a bit just' for VPN usage; no mobile signal (Bouygues) inside hotel

Breakfast

Fresh, comprehensive buffet with quality products and pastries at €13-15; worth ordering in advance; avoid if you dislike industrial eggs

AC / heating

Thermostat reportedly does not work reliably; rooms can become uncomfortably hot

Elevator

Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room in the main building rather than annex; main building rooms are specifically praised as superior

Book a room with the bathroom on the same floor if mobility is a concern; many rooms have bathrooms accessed via spiral staircases

Breakfast is worth €13-15; order it when booking rather than at reception for better pricing and selection
