What guests report

View

Rooms facing Tuileries Gardens (2nd-4th floors) offer panoramic views of Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and gardens; ground floor and some street-facing rooms have limited or no views; asking for a view room is essential

Bed & mattress

Mattresses are very comfortable and of excellent quality; pillows are available in both down and synthetic options; bedding is high-quality with soft linens

Bathroom & water

Marble bathrooms with double sinks in suite rooms; water pressure is good; bathrooms can get extremely hot without AC; showers suddenly turn scalding if sink/toilet used simultaneously; some rooms have mold/mildew issues

Wi-Fi

Internet speed is described as 'so-so' in some reviews; generally adequate but not exceptional

Breakfast

High-quality American-style breakfast buffet with fresh croissants baked in-house, excellent coffee, Nespresso machines in rooms, hot and cold items, variety of French and international options; €25-50 per person if not included; highly recommended but clarify inclusion before booking

AC / heating

No central air conditioning; portable AC units are extremely noisy and require open windows; heating system is old but works; rooms can become very hot in summer

Elevator

Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room on the 2nd-4th floor facing the Tuileries Gardens side for the best views of the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and park—avoid ground floor or street-facing rooms for noise

Book breakfast in advance or clarify if included; some guests report unexpected €25-50 charges per person. Breakfast arrives 5-6am with fresh croissants and is highly regarded when included

If visiting during summer, request a room with a view (higher floors) as portable AC units are noisy and require open windows; no central air conditioning
