The hotel is clean, with great staff. A few bakery's very close to the hotel, with a grocery store and other types of stores near by. Very close to a metro station on line 1, giving easy access to all of Paris. The hotel is a little out of main tourist areas which was great for us as the area is quit and extremely safe. No pick pockets in the area and we felt very safe coming and going whenever we wanted. The staff at the hotel was friendly. The hotel is a little older which gives it character. The only thing I would change would be I would add a fridge to the room somehow. The room was small so that would be a challenge.
