The staff and decor are lovely. The location is convenient with the 4 line just a block away. No concerns with bed bugs. Rooms out front have a cute balcony and a lovely view of the park across the street but if you're not from a big city, the street noise and traffic from Blvd Sébastopol might bother you. Breakfast had limited choices compared to other European hotels but everything was very tasty. Beware though that if you just want coffee, you will be charged €6 for a small 8 oz cappuccino. The mattress was comfortable but the pillows were awful. They are very thick and it hurts your neck. There were some odd housekeeping practices. One day I returned back to the hotel after a full day of activities to freshen up before dinner. At 5pm, housekeeping returned to vacuum my room. On another day, I slept in and put the DO NOT DISTURB sign on my door. Yet at 10am the next day, housekeeping knocked on my door wanting to clean the room. Instead of a bath mat, housekeeping left a hand towel to be used as a bath at for five out of the seven days I was there. Not enough attention paid to whether the bath products had run out. I had no body wash for the last two days but thankfully, had my own. Some other annoying things: The toilet paper holder was installed upside down, so they would fly off every time I tried to use it. There is no in-room fridge which was super inconvenient.The safe will not fit a 15" laptop.
