American traveler in Europe
My hopes were too high
While my husband and I were in Paris we traveled to all the well known land marks and took a cruise on the seine river. We traveled by walking and taking the convenient metro, it was a 4 block walk from the hotel. It was nice that no matter what time we came back, there was always someone there to greet us which isn't normal for a european hotel. The hotel is decortated tastefully with contrasting colors with designs that keep your eyes dancing. The showers were like mini-showers but had good water pressure and temperature. Definately not a ritzy hotel but something that was alright for someone not spending any time in their room. It was cramped quarters (we stayed in a classic/standard room) and no matter if we hung the 'do no disturb' sign on the door or not, our bed was made and fresh towels were waiting for us. I don't want to forget to mention that there was a hospital 4 blocks from the hotel and sireins were going off all night. There was a safe, an over priced mini bar in the mini-fridge, a tv w/ 1 english channel (news only), and ironing was not allowed in the room (I had to go to the basement of the hotel to iron). All in all, if I could stay there again I would pick a different location closer to fun shops and cafes. Hope this helps someone! Best of luck!

Entertainment tip:
Not Applicable
If you're planning to see the Crazy Horse show, don't. This was my 2nd time seeing the show and I was bored and very dissappointed. The first show I saw made me want to see a show again but it's going down the drain. I would NOT reccommend the show to anyone!

Not that good of an expereince
The locations is kinda good since its moreor less place centrally between three metro stations . There are quite a number of restraunts around including a nice Indian cuisine . The Eifell tower is aorund 6 stops awasy would recommend ot take a metro to tracadero ...that has the best view of the tower with nice hotels to dine . The staff during the day time is really good and freindly but night staff at the front office guy sounded pretty rude . the rooms are extremly small and open to a school so noisy .Not sure if the AC acutally worked . t would not recommend the same for a couple .

Smelled like cigarettes, 2 star at best
The hotel is definitely not a 4 star, i would say more like a 2 star, 3 star at most. The room smelled of cigarette smoke and there were clearly people smoking in other rooms. The bathroom is very weirdly laid out, when you take a shower the entire floor gets wet because there is not a screen to protect the water. The hallways have a musty smell and the concierge is a camera room that is visible to anyone to see and did not seem safe. Double beds mean 2 twin beds pushed together.

Not a four star!
This is a THREE star at best. It is in the middle of nowhere, nothing is within walking distance. The building is so insignificant I walked past it twice. The decor is psychodellic- really unpleasant. It is new and clean, but as I said if you are looking for standard of one of the hotels in the Louvres area, this is not it. When I was there the elevator broke down, which made accessing the third floor great fun. The problem was met with typical gallic insousiance and nothing was done about it.

Staff makes a difference
The hotel was interesting, and I felt the neighborhood was very safe. The staff, especially in the evening, were rude. I was concerned about the lack of smoke detectors and sprinklers; when I asked if there were in fact smoke detectors I was told not to worry, there would be alot of noise in the event of a fire, not exactly a reassuring answer. When I asked about an airport shuttle, I was told one price, then another, and my daughter a third price, all for the same trip. The shuttle was called for one half earlier than I asked, and when I mentioned that the time was not what was requested, was told that it could not be changed. I had the distinct impression that the gentleman at the front desk after 5:00 felt he was being bothered by the fact that the hotel had customers.

Thought I was in Tinytown
The most important thing to bring to this hotel is a shoehorn. The room is big enough to fit the bed and not much more. Location is okay, near the Metro.

This hotel is lacking so amenities.
The amenties in this hotel is very poor. This is a 2 star hotel. There was no microwaves in the room. The hotel didn't even have ice. The machine has been broken for 2 months. we had a water leak and the staff didn't check on it until the next day. Needs lots of work

Average Hotel
This room is not close to the train station and right next to a school, hence lot of noise in the day time. The room is very small (which is common in Paris) and the lobbies are not clean. However, the room's bathrooms are very clean. A/C was not turned on and when enquired, we were told that they enable A/C service only in peak summer. It was very hot inside the room, without AC the stay was not very pleasant!
