What guests report

View

Best views on 5th–6th floor with direct Eiffel Tower balcony views; lower floors and 'side view' rooms require head out window; ground floor has view blocked by street lamps

Bed & mattress

Very comfortable, high-quality beds with fresh linens and plush pillows praised across reviews

Bathroom & water

Large and modern with excellent water pressure, reliable hot water, heated towel racks, modern fixtures; separate tub and shower; some rooms have glass partition with minimal privacy

High-speed internet connection; one review praised 'best connection I've ever experienced in a hotel'

Breakfast

High-quality fresh pastries, made-to-order omelets and eggs, good coffee, fresh orange juice, fruits, grains; €17–21/person if not included; described as 'superb' and 'one of best I've had' but some note modest portions

Local knowledge

Request a higher floor room (5th-6th) for best Eiffel Tower views; lower floors have views blocked by street lamps and buildings

Book a room with a balcony or terrace explicitly—'side view' and 'partial view' rooms require sticking your head out the window

Breakfast is not always included; verify at booking and ask if €17-21/person fee is worth it for your needs
