The location of the hotel is perfect and you need only 15 minutes by foot from the Gare de l'Est. There are numerous restaurants and other food options around the hotel. Also there are all essential public transport stops around the hotel. Even by foot you reach Louvre or Les Halles from there very fast and easy.
Our stay in this hotel was very comfortable and I've noticed nothing that could disappoint me. Everyone in the hotel was very friendly and ready to help at any time. Our room was always very clean. The street noise wasn't disturbing at all. The breakfast was very tasty and varied, although I usually can't eat everything here I was satisfied with the choice.
I want to highlight two things in particular - we were allowed to use a small gym and a sauna for free in the hotel nearby. And another thing is - the mattress in our room was sooo good, that I slept like a baby and for the first time since many years I felt well rested.
