What guests report

View
Rooms with views of Place Blanche and surrounding Montmartre streets; sixth-floor rooms offer best vistas; some rooms face busy street but soundproofing prevents noise intrusion
Bed & mattress
Exceptionally comfortable, high-quality mattresses and bedding consistently praised as luxurious; considered among the best hotel beds guests have experienced
Bathroom & water
Modern with electronic bidet toilets, rainfall showerheads, and premium fixtures; some reports of low water pressure and bidet malfunctions requiring adjustment
Wi-Fi
Not specifically mentioned in reviews; no clear verdict available
Breakfast
Fresh, high-quality artisanal offerings including croissants, pain au chocolat, charcuterie, cheeses, fruits, eggs, and pastries when properly sourced; criticized when using supermarket items instead of boulangerie goods; €28-30 cost debated regarding value
AC / heating
Described as exceptional and surdimensioned for Paris heat; quiet and reliable; one guest reported non-functional AC requiring repair

Local knowledge

Request a room on upper floors (5-6) for best views and minimal street noise; soundproofing is excellent but higher floors feel more removed from Moulin Rouge crowds
Breakfast is worth the €28-30 if included; skip if à la carte as portions are modest (one croissant per person, local bakery items). Staff can arrange room service delivery
Arrive after 3 PM to avoid €200 early check-in fee; confirm room readiness before agreeing to any surcharge
