I had an amazing, quiet, and clean stay here. This was my second stay (last time being back in…read more2014), and the location is fantastic.
Not too noisy at night (I stayed in mid-August), as well as clean and extremely accommodating. They were happy to keep our luggage safe when we arrived too early for check in (so we were free to explore the city for a few hours without having to drag our suitcases everywhere). And at the end of our stay, they were also happy to put the cheeses and butters in their fridge for us that we were hoping to take back to the US since check out was hours before our nighttime flight.
The hotel is super secure, they tend to lock all the lobby doors after 7:30/8pm, at which point you'll have to buzz in. If it's raining, they'll happily let you borrow an umbrella! (The quality of the umbrella was wonderful against the pouring rain.)
One thing to keep in mind is that there is only one key per room, so you'll have to drop off the room key at the front desk every time you leave the hotel, and pick it up when you return for the night. If you're like me ( and most other hotel guests), and you tend to zip up all of your belongings for the day while the room is being cleaned, you'll have no issue.
There was a TV with French channels, WiFi was a bit spotty at times (but it's Europe, so no complaints here), the bathroom was spotless. It was a bit difficult to shower without flooding the floors since there is just a small swinging glass panel to protect the water from spilling onto the other side of the tub, but it's fine. The pressure was actually great considering the age of the city, so it averaged itself out in my mind.
There was also a fridge in the room, cleverly hidden in the cabinets chicly, as well as several drawer spaces for any belongings/knicknacks you may need to store.
The breakfast was also considerably great; toasted croissants, apple croissant, chocolate croissant, plus three types of cheeses, two-three types of cold cuts (charcuterie-esque), hard boiled eggs, coffee, tea, OJ, apple juice, yogurts, fruit salad, fresh fruit, jams, honey, granola, nuts. Our tummies were full and we were always ready to hit the ground running each morning.
Don't let the dollar signs dissuade you, the price is great considering the proximity to supermarkets (also recco grabbing souvenirs at the nearest Monoprix), Pierre Herme, Paul, Opera, Galerie Lafayette (if you're a shopper), and you can also walk 15-20 min to the Louvre/L'Orangerie. I also recco contacting the hotel directly to try and see if they can cut you a better deal than booking websites ;) Bon voyage!!
