I would recommend, especially for first timers in Paris. You are provided with a cell phone to travel with during your stay. It helped me navigate my way through the city, decide if I should walk or take transit and allowed me to make FREE unlimited calls home. No need to change your phone plan if international travel is not included. It also has features that allow you to book tours, restaurants, etc. The rooms are elegant and charming. They are equipped with a desk, tv, rainfall shower heads, slippers, a complimentary bottle of water, etc. The hotel has other amenities like a free steam room, free WiFi through out, lounge and dining areas. Very laid back ambience. I also had very pleasant interactions with the front desk. Everyone was very polite and helpful, especially at check in. Metro station is a one minute walk, grocery store is about a 3 minute walk and restaurants are all around. Will stay here again.
