The hotel is in a quiet street with some restaurants close by. It takes 20 minutes to walk anywhere in Paris from the hotel. The staff IS lovely. You always see this in the reviews but this is the first time I have ever felt that it really needed to be said. The hotels recommendations are really worth noting. Thank you for all your care.

“French at its best”

Great location, lovely place, very clean and comfortable. The reception staff as well as the lady serving breakfast were really nice, supportive and friendly. Loved the tiny garden.

“Fantastic location!”

Location is fantastic; very close to Les Invalides, Trocadero, Le Petit et Grand Palais, Musee de Rodin and Musee d'Orsay are all with walking distance. This is a sweet, almost boutique hotel.

Location is fantastic; very close to Les Invalides, Trocadero, Le Petit et Grand Palais, Musee de Rodin and Musee d'Orsay are all with walking distance. This is a sweet, almost boutique hotel. We were there for 6 nights and, as our flight got in early in the morning, our room wasn't ready, but we were warmly welcomed and were happy to leave our suitcases whilst we went out exploring. There are two pharmacies within a few yards of the hotel, a delicious bakery and a small fruit and vegetable market that sells fresh fruit and lovely cheese! The rooms are not huge but definitely clean and comfortable. We discovered a bit of mold behind the curtain on our first night and the hotel staff not only apologized but gifted us a complimentary bottle of wine and moved us to a bigger room the very next day. We met al least four different people working at the reception desk and they are all fluent in English and happy to help in any way they can; thank you Jean, Olivier, Alex and the lady who served the delicious breakfast every morning! Continental Breakfast at the hotel is 15 Euros and includes a basket of fresh baked croissant, pain au chocolat and baguette; also fresh orange juice, yogurt, coffee or tea and a selection of marmalades and butter. There are fruits, eggs and cereal always on offer on the sideboard but we were normally too full to have anything else! This is a period building and, as such, has only a small two person elevator and old pipes which make their toilet flushing system a bit unreliable but we got used to flushing twice and not using a huge amount of toilet paper. The water pressure for the showers is very good and you get lots of hot water immediately; however, you have to be really careful not to flood the bathroom floor and when getting out of the bath/shower, you have to be again careful not to slip as the tub sides are higher than normal. There is hand soap and body lotion in the bathroom and, in the shower, the body soap is also the shampoo so, if you prefer a separate shampoo and conditioner, you'll have to bring your own. Internet service was free and reliable and the TV offers French, English and Italian channels. Also, there is a beautiful small garden, just as you come into the hotel and they do offer a car service to take you to the airport.
