Based on our initial impression, we wouldn’t have rated this hotel high at all, but we misjudged it. Since they were full, we weren’t able to get the room we booked the first night. The first room didn’t suit our needs and it was rather noisy. In fact, we hardly slept at all.
That all changed the next night. The staff moved us to a different room the second night. It suited our needs perfectly, and was very quiet. We slept like babies. The property is old, but they strive to maintain what they have. There was a soft spot in the floor in our room. The first night, there were also several hairs on the bedding. They were not in the inside though - just on the outside. Other than that, both rooms we stayed in were very clean. There is an elevator, but it is very small. Just keep that in mind.
The location is quite convenient to getting around in Paris. You can get breakfast there, but we didn’t eat there. There are plenty of restaurants within a block of the hotel.
The staff was absolutely wonderful. They definitely strive hard to accommodate their guests needs and make their stay excellent. I can’t speak highly enough about them. They stored our luggage for us on the last day of our stay, which was very convenient for us. Upon first impression, we wouldn’t have recommended this hotel, but after that first night, we did a complete 180. We really enjoyed our stay there and can definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers.
