"Loved that they had received my message on the early check , and the room was ready ...something you don't see in Europe ... thank you ... the hotel is very cozy and quaint . loved the service ... all staff were super helpful . the only thing I would have a grouse would be 240 euros per night . slightly expensive for a room of this size ... other than that ... located in a very nice area which was really close to the metro ... definitely a nice place to stay"

The spacious rooms are a common highlight, with some offering desirable amenities like bathtubs, espresso machines, refrigerators, two TVs, and bathrobes; the suites are also noted for being quiet.

The staff was always friendly and helpful. My room was clean and included all necessary amenities plus extra ones. The hotel location is convenient. It is a short walk from the Place de la Concorde.

The elevator only reached the 4th floor, so I had to climb one floor to reach my room.

Fantastic Location and Friendly Service

great locationhelpful staffinconvenient elevator

The location was really great. It was very close to many Metro stops! The hotel was also clean, I found. The staff members were helpful, too. I certainly appreciated that. I had a nice experience.

The elevator didn't reach my floor. My room was on the fifth floor, but the lift only went to the fourth. This wasn't a huge problem for me. But it might be for some guests. It is worth keeping in mind. You need to carry your luggage.

great locationhelpful advicestaff hospitalitynoisy floor

the location was great because i could easily walk to many spots. the front desk staff give great advice for trains to the airport and even told us to take the train over the subway. this way we manage to carry our luggages easily by using the escalators. the staff hospitality stood out, and the facilities felt very well maintained.

our room were on the fifth floor, the elevator only went to the fourth. walking one floor wasn't a problem, but the wooden floors was quite noisy. walking inside the room made the floor creak noticeably.
