The Hotel is surrounded by good restaurants, cafe, 7/11 like grocery stores, bakery, pastry stores, etc. Two blocks from the Louvre museum. An incredible location close to so many landmarks. A landromat on the street behind the hotel. We had a twin bed room. Bedding was very comfy. Beds were firm but not too firm. Included a safe and a recently renovated bathroom. Good, cold, quiet A/C build into ceiling. Cleaning staff was doing a very good job each day. You can leave your luggage at the desk. They tag them, and store in a nearby closet. Very friendly staff, 24/7. You have to accept the fact that the rooms (and bathroom) are small, sized similar (or just a bit bigger) than a regular cabin on a cruise ship. I was not surprised. This is Europe. Elevator fits 2 adults and 2 luggage. Worked well. We were there almost 2 weeks and would choose the same hotel. We did not select their breakfast because we wanted to experience a different Paris breakfast each day. The hotel breakfast seemed popular. You can hop on a city bus, give the driver 2.50 euro, validate your ticket, and be across town in 30 minutes. Book your museums ticket with a specific entry time, get there about 20-30 minutes before, and you will be in by the time on your ticket. Incredible french food and international food. As I said, a great location.
