The location was great near many attractions. The staff were very friendly and helpful . They provided assistance with directions and local recommendations. The beds were comfortable and I slept well.

The bathroom was quite small. The shower had inconsistent water temperature it alternated between hot and cold. There was no refrigerator in the room to keep drinks cold. The noise from the stairs was noticeable at night.

The location near the Louvre was acceptable and it gave convenient access to many attractions.

The lack of soundproofing was something else. I swear the walls were made of paper. Street noise kept me up all night. the breakfast was a joke, unless you consider a sad croissant and watered-down juice a balanced meal.
