Most amenities in this hotel show commitment to better our planet. There are no more plastic water bottles in the hotel, rather cold still water and sparkling water on tap in the lobby, where you can refill your container or grab a glass, for free. Access to floors and rooms is with bamboo-made magnetic cards 💳, very stylish. There are also 4 automatic coffee machines ☕️ where one can help oneself to cappuccinos, mochas, single and double espressos, americanos, etc. Free breakfast included croissants 🥐 , chocolate croissants, cold meats, yogurt, fruits 🍎 , cheeses 🧀, cereal 🥣, eggs 🥚 you can boil at your own taste and more. From 6:30am to 8:00am is the best time to get it, after that, it gets busier until 10:00 am when it’s removed. ROOM AMENITIES There were eight European type-C 200V outlets across the room and 2 USB outlets by one side of the main bed. When we arrived, the sofa beds 🛋 were already converted to beds and made; we thought of this as a very nice and smart gesture, considering that many hotels we’ve stayed at have sofa-beds with missing linens and we have to do the work. The bathroom is a minimalist expression of a bathroom: Curtains or sliding door is missing from the shower so after showering 🚿 you’ll notice a bit of water that needs to be wiped off, just for your own safety. Toilet, shower and sink are all in the bathroom and there was no lock in the room we got. Blame the jet-lag or not, the IKEA-type simple beds 🛏 were very comfy! It just would have been nice to have light sheets during one warm night, instead of just the thick covers. There was no safe in the room and only one safe for the whole hotel, operated by the manager. Apparently they haven’t had an incident “ever” and we didn’t experience anything either, leaving valuables such as passports, electronics, home keys 🔑, etc. AROUND THE HOTEL Excellent location: 🚶🏻 Walking distance from about 20 different restaurants as well as the Port D’Italie Metro 🚇 and Bus 🚌 station, where you can easily and inexpensively find transport.Oh, and very close to Paris’ interior circuit Boulevard Périphérique Intérieur, in case of driving around. Considering the €125 nightly rate for a room that can host 6 people that can be fed breakfast everyday, I’d say it’s a great deal. #ruizmedina⭐️
