The 24-hour front desk provides local sightseeing advice, and the Maubert-Mutualité metro station is a 10-minute walk away for direct access to Gare du Nord and Charles de Gaulle Airport (23 km). Nearby landmarks include Notre-Dame (500m) and Jardin du Luxembourg (2 km).

Fantastic Location and Friendly Staff

central location helpful team quality breakfast nearby parking

The location is really good. It is a short walk to many main attractions and the metro station is just around the corner. The reception staff are nice ladies, ready to assist with any inquiries. Breakfast offers sufficient and good quality options, including coffee, tea, and various breads. I also found parking nearby in a building basement.

The staircase to the upper rooms is a spiral, it might be difficult for some guests.
