small room poor cleanliness

The hotel location was fine, since it allowed quick access to many places.

I really did not have a good experience. The room I had booked was so small, the bathroom door couldn't open fully because it would hit the bed. the cleanliness wasn't great, and I could see some dirt around.

Really good stay near Notre Dame

metro stations comfortable bed

The hotel provided easy access to multiple metro stations. Cafes and bars were very close. The provided bed was comfortable. I appreciated the full tub after a long day.

The noise was excessive. I could not sleep soundly on several nights. An outdated air conditioning unit from a neighboring room sounded like an engine.

really good customer service convenient location secure area kind staff

The reception service impressed me. The staff was kind. The location is very close to key amenities, specifically in the Latin Quarter. I noticed the neighborhood felt secure (even as a solo female traveler). I greatly appreciated these aspects (it added a lot to my time here).

The elevator seemed very small, it barely fits two people.
