Très agréable comme toujours
Pros:

Très agréable comme d’habitude , une pépite en plein cœur de Paris. Personnel très sympathique

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner, il n’y avait même pas un bon café ou une bonne machine à café. C’était comme le café de ma chère grand-mère, léger et sans goût .

Terrible experiencia
Pros:

Las instalaciones del hotel están bien, cerca a estaciones de metro y su personal amable

Cons:

Las habitaciones de este hotel no están diseñadas para alojar 3 personas adultas. No deberian admitir reservas para habitación triple. Es imposible que 3 adultos quepan en la habitación y si tienes maletas aún peor. Yo dormía con la maleta en la cama. Incluso consideré meterla a la ducha pero tampoco cabia. No había como circular en la habitación. Terrible experiencia
