We had an excellent stay at this hotel - I would definitely stay again! It was out first time to Paris, booking with 0 prior experience. The main thing - if you are visiting in the summer months, it is hot and miserable in Paris. And the French for some reason do not believe in air conditioning. That is HUGE! Another plus is location - it's a 15-20 min walk to Louvre and Notre Dame. minutes to metro, bus stops, many restaurants, and shopping. Perfect location! The hotel is very safe. You have to leave your room key with staff when you leave and get it when you are back. they lock the doors at night, and there is always someone at the front desk. Staff are wonderful, so nice and helpful! The rooms are small, but it is expected in Europe. If you are looking for luxurious accommodations, this is not it. But if you are looking for an affordable place to stay while you explore Paris, I would highly recommend! LOVED IT and will stay there again if we come back.
