Everyone was kind, helpful, and amazing. From the initial welcome to the final goodbye (where I debated hugging the manager). Even though I was a stranger, they treated me like family.
My room had a comfortable bed and pillows, a safe and a mini-fridge. The bathroom had everything one needed (plenty of hot water) and I made good use of the iron and the table-top ironing board. The room was small, but it was so well organized that it did not feel small. I also loved having a window (with the Juliette balcony) that I could open to let in some fresh air. My room overlooked… I’m going to call it an inner courtyard, so it was very quiet. There was also a central heating/cooling system with adjustable controls.
The only thing the visitors should be prepared for are the stairs — they will have to drag their suitcases up (in my case) two flights of stairs. However, M. F. was there to help.
I don’t know if I would have felt safe being in the area alone at night. I usually returned before dark. Early mornings in the area are quiet.
The hotel has easy access to the metro, but I walked everywhere, so did not use it during this trip. I loved discovering the streets of Paris.
I did not partake of the reasonably-priced breakfast, because I preferred to eat alone in my room. There are many restaurants, grocery stores, and even a Fruit Palace near the area. Cutlery was provided.
I honestly cannot recommend this hotel enough and would be happy to return again on a future visit.
