Local knowledge

Request a room facing the interior courtyard if you're a light sleeper, as street-facing rooms have audible traffic and bar noise from adjacent establishment.
Breakfast is à la carte, not buffet—specify your preferences (egg style, pastry choices, juice) the day before or at check-in to avoid disappointment.
The hotel is steps from RoissyBus stop (5 min walk) for direct CDG airport access; no need for expensive taxis.
