What guests report

View

Small patio views from top floor rooms; typical Parisian street views from windows; rooms near Place Madeleine and rue Saint-Honoré side preferred

Bed & mattress

High-quality bedding with very comfortable mattresses; some guests noted beds were quite firm

Bathroom & water

Spacious, modern bathrooms with excellent water pressure and powerful showers; some rooms have double sinks; smaller bathrooms in some lower-category rooms

Wi-Fi

Weak internet signal and slow speed in rooms; some guests requested upgrades

Breakfast

Good quality with fresh juices and pastries; limited variety but well-sourced ingredients; same menu daily; small underground dining room with limited seating

AC / heating

Air conditioning works excellently; individually controlled in rooms

Elevator

Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a higher floor to minimize metro vibration and street noise; lower floors experience significant rumbling from the metro below

Ask for a room away from the street-facing side if sensitive to café noise and foot traffic; building is narrow with limited room layouts

Book breakfast in room if you prefer quiet; the breakfast room is very small underground space with limited seating
