Hospitable staff at front desk and helpful housekeepers. Good breakfast buffet reasonably priced (for Paris). For our eight-day stay they kindly put us in a newly upgrade, renovated room, spacious with good beds. Being on fifth floor it got hot at night, even though we turned off the radiators. Just a matter of heat rising, we supposed. Daily room freshening very good; however, some mornings before 8 am the housekeeper was banging around cabinets outside our door. Also, a family occupying three of the five rooms on our floor treated corridor as if they had rented the entire floor. Yelling and talking in hall with all their doors open late in evening and early in morning. Forget about sleeping in! After two days of that we asked front desk for help, and they did succeed in getting them to modify their behavior. Overall, a very good stay in a good location near Bastille.
