What guests report

View

Rooms on higher floors and those on courtyard side have better privacy and views; single rooms typically have no view; some rooms overlook Eiffel Tower in distance; street-facing rooms access Avenue de l'Opera hustle

Bed & mattress

Mostly comfortable and well-maintained with good linens; some reports of sagging/aged mattresses in specific rooms requiring replacement; double beds occasionally two singles pushed together rather than true queen

Bathroom & water

Strong hot water pressure and excellent temperature control; bathtub drain frequently slow or clogged causing standing water; shower stall over bathtub with low partition leads to water spillage onto floor; spacious and clean in most rooms; L'Occitane toiletries stocked daily; some rooms lack adequate ventilation

Wi-Fi

Good speed and reliable connectivity throughout hotel

Breakfast

Abundant buffet with fresh croissants, pastries, eggs, omelets made to order, pancakes, fruit, cheese, charcuterie, excellent coffee; €22 fee considered worth it; slight repetition of offerings day-to-day; some mornings early pastry stock runs low by 8-9am

AC / heating

Works well when functioning; recurring complaints of systems not responding to room controls, temperature set remotely by staff limiting guest control, heating/cooling unreliable in specific rooms causing excessive cold that made guests ill

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a higher floor room to minimize noise from street-level construction, metro vibrations, or mechanical systems below.

Book breakfast at 7am opening if you want fresh croissants and hot foods; later times may have limited stock of pastries.

Elevator fits maximum 2 people with large suitcases; travel light or request luggage assistance at reception.
