The room size felt inadequate. I struggled with limited space to move around freely. the absence of modern amenities like a television was disappointing. The room felt rather spartan, considering the price.

The location provided easy access to major attractions. The staff was readily available and happy to assist. The room was equipped with a modern bathroom that included a rainfall shower. There was a park just outside that was quiet. I was pleased to discover that the metro station was a short walk from the hotel. The room had modern bathrooms. The staff were very helpful. The historical building had authentic design. The bedsheets were clean. The coffee shop was just next door.
The room was small, difficult to move around freely. No water was provided in the room, inconvenient after a long day of sightseeing.

The hotel location near Notre Dame is really good. The staff was helpful with my luggage storage both before check-in and after check-out. I appreciate the convenience this provided as I explored.
The room needed updates. The wallpaper showed damage. I understand the building has age, but upkeep is important for a better stay.
