Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is in a great location, close to major attractions and designer shops. We found the rooms to be old and dated, with some mold and cold ambiance, though the price was fair. The service, especially from Yasmine and her father, was excellent, always ready to assist with a smile. The dining options were decent, suitable for quick bites, and the hotel's facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is centrally located within walking distance of major Paris attractions, the rooms were old but with some nice touches like quality toiletries, and the breakfast was satisfactory. The service was excellent, especially with airport transfers provided, although there were minor issues with facilities. Overall, a decent value for the location.
The hotel had clean and reasonably attractive rooms but fell short of the standard expected from Booking. The service was a mix of excellent assistance and disappointing experiences. The location was fantastic with proximity to popular attractions but situated in a more seedy area. The dining options varied from delicious to just satisfactory. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.
