What guests report

View

Rooms on street side overlook busy Parisian streets and cafes; corner/angle rooms preferred; courtyard-facing rooms quieter but less scenic

Bed & mattress

Large, very comfortable beds with quality linens; some reports of tilted or flat thin pillows; double beds may be two singles pushed together

Bathroom & water

Modern, compact but functional; excellent shower pressure and hot water; some shower drainage issues reported; small space but well-equipped

Wi-Fi

Free, stable, and reliable; occasionally reported as slow in some rooms

Breakfast

Quality buffet with generous daily replenishment; good variety of sweet (pastries, viennoiseries, fruit) and savory (eggs, salmon, charcuterie) options; reasonable value; coffee variable quality

AC / heating

Working air conditioning in rooms; auto-shutoff at 10:30 AM per energy code in summer; not fully reliable in all rooms; heating can run too warm in winter

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the street side to avoid traffic noise; upper floors facing the courtyard are quieter

Metro line 12 directly outside can be heard in lower floors—ask for a higher floor if noise sensitivity is a concern

Arrive early and request room upgrade or room swap; staff are accommodating when availability allows
