The main draw here is the decor and you definitely get it! The room was large by Paris standards. The jacuzzi is a great deal. Keep in mind this is a busy area, perfect if you want to experience late night Paris until 4 or 5 am. I loved hearing and seeing people outside. Also, the trade-off for an old fashioned look- it is an older hotel. If problems arise I suggest talking to the staff immediately. They took care of any issues I had quickly. The keys are not electronic and they have you turn in your key each time before you leave the hotel but there's always someone at the door to let you back in. They recognize their guests and I don't think a stranger could easily get in. If you're like me and want to pretend you love in Old World Bohemian Paris this is for you. I was a woman traveling alone and felt very safe despite it being a "red light" area.
