Unreliable, unsuitable for professional work or video calls; unable to support WhatsApp calls; problematic connectivity despite being advertised for business travelers

Local knowledge

Request a room facing the courtyard (cour) to avoid street noise; higher floors on the 5th offer Sacré-Cœur views
Book directly through the hotel website for breakfast included; prices fluctuate significantly on third-party sites
Allow extra time getting luggage upstairs—elevator fits only one person with large suitcase; staff happy to assist
