What guests report

View

Top floor rooms (66) offer Paris rooftop and Arc de Triomphe views; balcony rooms best for sightseeing but structurally constrained

Bed & mattress

Luxury bedding and exceptionally comfortable mattresses consistently praised; quality linens

Bathroom & water

Large, modern bathrooms with excellent rainfall showers and high water pressure; Fragonard toiletries; underfloor heating in some rooms; some reports of blocked drains

Wi-Fi

Functional but spotty; modern setup but requires troubleshooting; speeds adequate for browsing but not reliable for video streaming

Breakfast

High quality with fresh pastries, cheeses, quiche, eggs, juices; €22 if not included; limited seating and replenishment stops by 9am

AC / heating

Excellent air conditioning and climate control; reliable heating and cooling praised

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request Room 66 (top floor with balcony and Paris rooftop views) – book early as highly requested

Arrive at breakfast by 7am sharp; buffet runs out of items by 9am and staff does not replenish

Balcony rooms are narrow with structural columns between seats – better for solo travelers or as Instagram backdrop than functional seating
