    I had a very pleasant stay. Merci!

    The wifi was occasionally unstable, and I had an issue with the shower not having hot water for some days during my stay. It's possible this was due to the time of day, or perhaps a system issue. Sorry I didn't report it at the time!

    The hotel's location was great - within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although I didn't opt for the breakfast plan, they generously offered me a coffee, which was a kind gesture I appreciated even though I couldn't accept it due to time.

    The hair drier was rather old and when overheated stopped working. Also I had a window without curtain in the bathroom. I put a towel on the window to close myself from other windows in nearby buildings

    Staying in this hotel for the second time. It's a perfect price-quality ration. Perfect location, walked everywhere on foot, very quite at night slept well, super clean. The stuff is amazingly friendly, smiley and kind. I really enjoyed the stay there and I will definitely come back. I stayed on 6th floor, no stairs, but I'm young and that was okay for me

    A spotless hotel in the heart of Paris where the warm and attentive staff truly make the difference.

    It was not a big deal for us, but I can see that it might be a bit of a challenge for some elderly guests to climb the stairs, especially with luggage, since there is no elevator.

    A memorable stay in a spotless hotel with the sweetest and most helpful staff, in an excellent location just a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Élysées. The neighborhood was wonderful too, with a fruit market, restaurants, and a boulangerie just steps away.

    If you are a solo traveler, note that you are not allowed to have guests visit. My wife arrived by plane the next morning (before checkout) and was allowed to come up to use the restroom, but I had to ask permission and they were hesitant.

    Everything is as described, a functional but still very nice place to stay, especially for the price. Location is top notch as well. Really perfect for a solo traveler looking for a comfortable spot for a night or a few.

    There is no elevator but they make that very clear in their description. I’d recommend travelling with small sized baggage for ascending/descending the winding staircase.

    This is a no-frills hotel, in a super location. If you’re out & about all day exploring Paris & need a simple, clean room & comfy bed at the end of the day then this fits the bill. The staff were pleasant & the hotel was very clean. As a lone, female traveller the area felt very safe & there are lovely restaurants & shops nearby.

    Some might not like having the toilet outside their room, but it honestly didn't bother me. It's made pretty clear from the start on the booking page, so overall, nothing wrong.

    Good location, about 5 mins away from the nearest Metro stop and within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe. Good, simple room needed for one night

    My room having it's bathroom outside in the hall was strange but manageable. Having a shower and a sink inside was good though. The room itself is very small and the staircase is quite tight but honestly everything was perfectly good for a solo traveller or perhaps a couple without much luggage

    Amazing location for the Arc/good for Eiffel tower. Quite a way away from the train stations and other central locations but that's not the fault of the hotel. Friendly staff who were happy to speak English. No issues with the wifi easy to connect and worked without problems.

    My room was on the 5th floor, so quite a walk up for me late at night. However, its a historical building, so it is to be expected.

    You can easily hear other guests using their hairdryer and moving up-down the stairs (there is no elevator). They definitely renovated the decoration, but it feels like they forgot to allocate some budget to the isolation

    Near metro station, the decorations of both the common area and rooms is really nice and feels recently renovated

    Overall, our stay was comfortable, with a great location and clean rooms.

    The only area for improvement is ensuring that extra toiletries are restocked during room service. We ran out of toilet paper, but it was promptly replaced in both rooms upon request.

    We were a group of four guests, staying in rooms on the 4th and 5th floors. There is no elevator, which wasn’t an issue for us since we’re young and athletic. However, carrying luggage up and down the stairs—especially for a longer stay—could be inconvenient. The room size was comfortable for a couple, and the heating worked very well. Everything was exceptionally clean. The location was excellent, right in the city center, with easy access to metro stations and a great selection of restaurants, pastry shops, and supermarkets nearby.
