This review is based on a very brief stay, of one night, on my way through paris on the way back to the u. S.
hotel staff were friendly, helpful, and courteous. I speak a little french, but not well, and the staff members at the desk were
... patient and tolerant about my lousy french. They spoke excellent english, so it was easier to shift into english. english-only speakers should feel comfortable here.
nice restaurants and bistros were within easy walking distance.
room and hotel facilities were modern, clean, and very functional. Amenities in the room were fully adequate, but not lavish (i. E. , no clock, iron, ironing board, or coffee maker, as one often finds in u. S. Hotels, but i do not consider these essential). there was a safe in the room for valuables, and a tv. The bathroom and shower facilities were immaculate.
the available soap and shampoo is from a dispenser of combined shampoo and shower gel at the sink and in the shower. The dispenser in my shower was empty, and i had to go out to the sink and get soap/shampoo from the dispenser and carry it into the shower.
the location was fine, although i was there only briefly and did not have much time to move around the city. friends from paris took me on a walk up to montmartre, which was a long walk but very nice, through some important points in paris. On my last and only morning, a friend and i walked to the arc de triomphe and champs-elysee. Again, it was a long walk of over a mile, but a very nice one, that got us to the magnificent avenue. If we had more time, we could have walked to the other major attractions at the other end of the champs-elysee. We took a cab back to the hotel because we needed to catch flights out. It was easy to catch a cab at the arc de triomphe. the cab driver was pleasant, and took us directly to the hotel, with a reasonable price for the ride. (getting directly to one's destination by cab, with reasonable fare, is not always possible in the u. S. , europe, and elsewhere).
the friend and i had a rental car, and drove later that morning to cdg. The directions from the hotel were easy to follow and we got to cdg with no problems in about 20 minutes.
the hotel is not inexpensive, but the room prices are very reasonable in relation to the value. I highly recommend this hotel for those seeking a nice hotel in paris.
