Exceptional Service and Thoughtful Staff

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable. We had an early departure and needed to leave before 7 AM, and to our surprise, they kindly opened the breakfast area half an hour earlier just for us—even though they didn’t have to. It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. Highly recommended!

The hotel was very conveniently located 2 minutes away from a big metro and RER station. I could go to Disney and city center easily. The place was clean, nice and the room was big enough as well as the bathroom. They have snacks, water and coffee for free in the lobby 24/7 and the service was very amicable. I really recommend this place!

Hotel was nice to stay at. Staff were really kind and helpful. Transport is good easy to get to popular areas in France such as the Eiffel Tower. The only bad thing I would say is the security, lifts should only be accessible to visitors and entry with Key card like other hotels. Random people can walk in and use the lifts.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a continental type breakfast: pastries, cheeses and hams. In addition, the reception area was very comfortable and has a coffee machine and water dispenser which can be used at any time. The room was spacious and tidy. However, there were stains on the towels and bedsheets which was why there is a lower cleanliness score.

Wish I could give 5 stars, but without the air conditioning that was advertised, it is only 4 star. Be warned, air conditioning is in lobby, not in room. Even at 28 degrees celsius, they would not provide A/C to the room. Very very hot in room, no screen if you open windows for fresher air and lots of fireworks happening. (Yay Paris football championship!) Aside from that, FANTASTIC place, service and location. Would definitely stay here again if they did in fact provide A/C in rooms. Call ahead. Metro and bus very close and easy to navigate with app. Free snacks, water and coffee provided in lobby. Coffee was really good. Croc place across the street and Thai/Vietnamese restaurant just a couple blocks down the street, fantastic and very reasonably priced. Friendly staff.
