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
