What guests report

View

Balcony rooms with Haussmann roofline views and Opera vistas best; loading dock side rooms have poor views

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable, luxurious mattress and linens; guests inquired about purchasing beds directly

Bathroom & water

Bidet toilets, high-end toiletries, spacious; but leaking sinks/showers reported in some rooms and low water pressure noted

Wi-Fi

Unreliable—disconnects every 2 minutes per one guest; staff blamed guest devices despite multi-phone failures

Breakfast

À la carte service slow and limited hot options; room service breakfast superior quality but requires advance notice

AC / heating

Heating/cooling reliability not consistently mentioned; some rooms lacked adequate temperature control

Elevator

Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the street level and metro station (ground/2nd floor especially); higher floors quieter despite metro proximity

Bring swimsuit or rent one (€30 fee); the heated pool and spa are world-class and rarely crowded during off-peak hours

Book the LED mask facial or Dyson Airwrap service in advance; these signature in-room beauty treatments sell out quickly
