What guests report

View
Courtyard-facing rooms offer peaceful, quiet views; street-facing rooms experience traffic noise and Rue de Rivoli congestion
Bed & mattress
Comfortable, high-quality beds with excellent linens; some rooms feature double beds formed by two singles pushed together without proper topper, creating noticeable ridge; avoid if seeking true king bed
Bathroom & water
Exceptional water pressure in rain showers with adjustable hand shower option; faucet temperature requires one-time setting; separate toilet and bathroom in some rooms; spacious in deluxe rooms but cramped in standard rooms; slippery shower floor
Wi-Fi
Adequate in lobby but weak in rooms; insufficient speed for video calls or work; 5-10 Mbps in rooms versus 10-15 Mbps in lobby
Breakfast
High-quality generous buffet worth 19-21€ per person; excellent pastries, cheeses, cold cuts, scrambled eggs, hot dishes; repetitive daily menu after multiple nights; alternative cafés nearby offer better value for single visit
AC / heating
Reliable air conditioning and heating with individual thermostats; some rooms require hours to reach comfortable temperature; one room had noisy AC unit requiring shutdown
Elevator
Unreliable
