Interesting place to stay, the Presidential Palace is fifty meters away on the corner. Warning though that the front security door can be a frustrating issue, refusing to open at times when you use the security swipe. They could do with new towels & replace the plates that are chipped. It's not a walk out into the action spot, two to three star hotel quality but it's got a certain charm & once you get your bearings it's quite a useful location. Won't blow your mind for the money but it's French quirky & comfy.
