Some definite pros: The location is excellent, just a short stroll to Notre Dame and the small streets of the Left Bank. The staff were uniformly polite and friendly. Unfortunately, there were some big cons: My single room was very small and spare, and although the windows to the street were double thick to keep out traffic noise, the soundproofing within the hotel was abysmal. The elevator door was loud (I mean LOUD). I could hear it open and close from my room. I could also hear the people in the next room talking, and they weren’t talking loudly. The breakfast was serviceable, but with no hot milk for coffee (unless you heat it in the microwave) and only average-quality croissants, it wasn’t even close to French breakfast standards.
