The hotel has not so comfortable beds but overall they provide a cozy stay with clean and spacious ensuite toilet and shower facilities. The location is perfect, right in front of a subway station and close to supermarkets and restaurants. Dining can be chaotic at times with long queues, but the local seafood options are fairly priced. The facilities are sufficient and well-kept.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were super clean and spacious, offering incredible views of the Paris skyline. However, it was disgustingly hot during the heatwave. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff who even made secret signature cocktails. The location was excellent, close to the metro station, but the surrounding area was seedy and unpleasant. The dining experience was a big letdown with limited vegetarian options and no iconic French pastries. Overall, a comfortable stay with some drawbacks.

The hotel offers an opportunity to save money by choosing a 6-bed room as a family, but the rooms may not be the most stable when two singles are pushed together. The thermostat was a bit tricky to adjust, and the room felt cold despite efforts. The service, although not very flexible, included some useful tips for securing personal belongings inexpensively. The location is convenient in Paris, close to a metro station and with easy access to activities. The dining options might come at a higher cost than expected, though the breakfast schedule is accommodating. The hotel lacks some desired flexibility but offers a great location and easy access to transportation.

The hotel offers great rooms with en-suites and reasonable sized lockers under the beds that are clean and comfortable, perfect for business travelers over the weekend. The only minor downside was some cleanliness issues on the floor around the beds and in the bathroom, but everything else was well-maintained. The location is a standout feature, situated in a perfect spot in Paris center without the hustle and bustle, and conveniently near a subway station.
