Strong, reliable signal throughout hotel
Breakfast
Excellent quality with fresh pastries, warm eggs, bacon, sausage, cereals, yogurt, and cappuccinos made to order; highly recommended and worth the room rate

Local knowledge

Avoid 5th floor rooms during summer heat waves—top floor stays significantly warmer due to roof exposure and skylight.
Request rooms on lower floors (1-4) for optimal air conditioning performance.
Book rooms facing quiet side streets rather than main Rue de Rivoli to minimize street noise.
