I loved my stay here! The clerks at the desk were friendly and all spoke English. I loved this location. You really get a feel for the Parisian cafe culture, because it is literally right outside your door step. That being said, nights could be a bit noisy, but that is pretty typical for anywhere in the city. There are some wonderful locally sourced grocery stores right next to the hotel as well. Plus, the metro stop is close by! I felt very safe in this area. For the price, I was very happy with everything. The room came with two fans, which was great since summer was so hot this year. There was also some closet space and a little desk, I could have stayed much longer! The free breakfast was very nice as well. Loved it.
