charming stay near bastille

french wine quiet street easy exploration helpful staff

I found a bottle of french red wine in the room upon arrival. the hotel had a great location. It was quiet but close to a busy boulevard. it was easy to explore the bastille area from here, and left bank neighborhoods were not too far. the staff allowed me to store luggage after checkout.

the elevator moved quite slowly (but this seems common in old european hotels).

Facilities

the hotel has a secure entry system with a locked main door all day. elevator access requires a room key, a nice security feature. luggage storage is available on site after checkout.

Dining

a thai restaurant sits across the street, with a beautiful atmosphere and tasty food for dinner. many dining options are also just minutes away from the hotel. a cafe around the corner sells chocolate pastries for breakfast.

Rooms

the room was tidy and decorated in a style that resonates with the city's medieval history. the bed was comfortable, and i slept well (which is important when traveling!). the room included fresh towels daily.
