The hotel is exactly as Xavier describes it. The rooms are fairly basic, but clean and comfortable. There is a simple but delicious breakfast of croissant, baguettes, fruit, yogurt, tea, coffee, etc. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. For example, when we asked about hot water for tea, they loaned us a kettle for the room. The location is really wonderful. Right in the heart of Paris, with restaurants and grocery stores right on the doorstep. We would be happy to stay here again.
