Friendly reception, efficient breakfast staff, proper rooms, 16 qm, much better than ibis. Near metro and bus stops, with restaurants in the vicinity, a carrefour city, McDo, and 3-4 boulangeries. Calm street. Three star interieur on the 2.5 star narrow side. No bathtub, but with bidet. Shower with fine liquid soap. Sewing kit and cotton pads. Unpleasantly rough Q tips. Hairdrier is a bit difficult to handle. Heater in bedroom is fast and strong, the one in the bathroom is not helpful.
Lift, small lobby, narrow corridor. Maps, le Figaro, tourist info, inexpensive vending machine for water and juice. Shoe cleaner on every level. Altogether a nice hotel. Breakfast is useless: Days without boiled eggs, poor standard coffee. During holidays, breakfast room is jammed, waiting line. Even when it is not crowded, you get moved around by the staff to a different table, the only reason being that they don't want to occupy a place for 4 with fewer people. Ofc it would be simpler to move the cutlery...For being in the periphery of the center without a sight in the direct vicinity, a bit expensive. Baggage deposit service. Don't take the breakfast deal, let alone the extra breakfast for 17 , and you will be happy with a calm little hotel with all the basics without the ibis cramming.
