Pros:
- Great location. All the main landmarks and attractions were within walking distance. Also, the train station is located next to the hotel. We took a cab into the city which was a mistake since it cost close to 100 euros. You're also in the heart of Saint Germain so lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance. Marais and Latin quarters were also very walkable.
- Value. We were traveling with an odd number (5) which made hotels prohibitively expensive. We booked last minute and were able to reserve 3 rooms at a very affordable price for the heart of Paris.
- Views: One of our rooms had an amazing view straight down one of the classic Parisian streets. This was a very pleasant surprise.
- Clean bathrooms: Crystal clean with no signs of mold and mildew. A lot of older hotels and AirBnbs have bathrooms riddled with mold and mildew. The bathroom was cleaner than most mid-high tier hotels I have stayed at.
Cons:
- Rooms are small with dingy carpets and no air conditioning. I believe they are undergoing renovations and the weather was cool enough where AC was a non-issue. We were provided a fan which was more than enough. Also, we were always out and about in the city and only really cared for comfortable beds which we were more than happy about.
