Amenities like air conditioning are noted positively; a small elevator exists (sometimes described as very small/micro), so facilities are basic but functional.

Cons:

The bathroom was so tiny you couldn’t stand up if you are in the shower. Just a bit too small, otherwise a nice room.

Ok pour un court sejour
Pros:

Très bien placé. Le personnel est sympa.

Cons:

Chambre double minuscule, le lit (je pense deux lits jumeaux) était un peu défoncé. Le pain et les viennoiseries du petit-déjeuner étaient un peu secs, dommage, cela semblait un des points forts de l’hôtel.

Kurztrip Paris
Pros:

Hotel hatte einen Fahrstuhl, wenn auch nur sehr klein. Unser Appartement hatte nur 10qm, aber das wußten wir ja vorher schon. Wer also mehr Platz braucht sollte vielleicht mehr Sterne nehmen. Zimmer waren klimatisiert. Vom Hotel waren einige Attraktionen sehr gut zu erreichen. Im gesamten Umfeld sind so viele unterschiedliche Gaststätten vorhanden, dass man keine Vorbestellungen tätigen braucht. Wer lieber mit dem Taxi fahren möchte kann sich die UBER App runterladen. Unser Mann an der Rezeption war da sehr hilfreich und hatte uns die App runtergeladen und eingestellt. Hat gut funktioniert.

Cons:

Frühstück war jeden Tag dieselbe Wurst, Käse sowie Joghurt. Der Cappuccino war vom Automaten und hat uns nicht geschmeckt. Das Baguette war sehr zerrig. Frisch ist etwas anderes. Was verblüffend war, jeden Tag rückte die Müllabfuhr an, da brauchten wir keinen Wecker stellen.
