2nd visit and still good

Friendly staff. Stayed in a suite on the 6th floor large enough for 3 people or 2 adults and 2 children. One small comment, cleaning could be a bit more thorough especially in the bathroom. Would return and high… 2nd visit and well worth it. The hotel is a short walk from Opera and the galleries Lafayette in a safe neighborhood.

Great Stay, wish I was here longer
This was a great experience. Every person working was incredibly customer service focused. They made great recommendations for food and even called us a taxi as we were leaving. This was the second hotel we stayed at in Paris and between the two, I would stay here again. Great value and comfortable room. The shower was large and luxurious. The icing on the cake was that the hotel had air condition… This was a great experience. Every person working was incredibly customer service focused.
